LICENSE COURT ATTACKED.
Tho Liquor License Court of this city
was condemned by the Rov. E. J. Moore,
State superintendent of the Anil-Saloon
; League, at St. James', for "Ignoring" tho
remonstrances of Germantown citizens
gainst saloons.
"The License Court holds that u li
cense once given Is good for all time,
except when tho holder Is guilty of 'bad
behavior,'" he said. "Tho Pennsylvania
license law, however, is to tho effect that
a license Is good for one year only. In
other words, tho law of Pennsylvania
says that the people have the' right of re
monstrance ance a year; but tho License
Court of Philadelphia says to more than
!00O persons of the 22d Ward, 'Your re
monstrances shall not be heard,' and Ig
nores them and throws them Into the
waste basket, It only accentuates tho
fact that If we are to have freedom
from this evil we must take tho matter
out of the courts and put It Into the hands
of the people."

Bishop Berry, tho district superintend
ents, the members of the Board of Educa
tion of the conference and tho trustees
'Vere appointed members of a committee

son, secretary of the Board of Education,

paign. Tho Rev. Sir. Nicholson advocated
greater religious care In the schools and
otate Institutions. There are 7006 more
graduates In the 42 Methodist Episcopal
colleges than there were four years ago,
he tald.

tho Friendly Sons or St. Patrick In tho
Bollnvue-Stratford tonight, nro not ex
emptofl today from tho strict rule of tho
f'h " regarding tho eating of meat on
Frl' . ..
Theto has been no general lifting ot tho
ban In this city, nlthough Catholics In tho
archdiocese of Now York may cat meat
today, In accordanco with a special dis
pensation obtained by Cardinal Farley
from tho Pope. Tho dispensation applies
not only to Cnthollcs of tho dlocoso of
New York, but to all Catholics coming
Into tho archdiocese of Now York from
points outside,
The only Phllndelphlaus to have tho
speclnl dispensation nro thoso attending
tho banquet of the Friendly Sons of 'St.
Patrick tonight. Tho tcqulrcd dispensa
tion wns granted by the Popo In 1912 for
a period of five years.
In discussing tho subject, Father W. J.
Walsh, secretary to Archbishop Prcnder
gnst, said:
"This dispensation for tho Friendly
Sons of St. Patrick bnnquet expires In

What a comfort and convenience to know that simply a telephone
message to your grocer will bring to your table soups which impart to
it the "dainty touch of Paris!"
Franco-American Soups owe their popularity to this fact they are
such an easy and such a delightful solution of the soup course. For
the special occasion, the luncheon or the dinner party, Franco-American
Soups offer the hostess the satisfaction of knowing that better cannot
be had, anywhere or at any price.
And tor that even severer test, the daily program in the home,
these soups possess a nourishment, a "French deficiousness," and an
"epicurean variety" exclusive to them alone.
Franco-American Soups enjoy their chief popularity in homes
where "only the best" is a matter of daily habit.
