Prohibition advocates expressed the opinion that demobilization probably In the house the right of congress to define intoxicating liquors was at tacked by Representative Dyer, Re publican, of Missouri, who declared that the treasury department never had ruled that 2 3-4 per cent beer was Intoxicating. The question, he argued, was a matter of fact to be determined by the courts. ?

Police Watch Ylsitors Closely. El Paso, Texas, July 1.—Bootlegging has assumed widespread proportions in Agua Prieta, Sonora, Mexico, across the border from bouglas, Arizona, ac- .coiding lo, Americans who have laves- tigated liquor conditions in the border state. Open saloons are prohibited by Sonora state laws, but little or no ef fort has been made by the authorities to murtail illicit liquor traffic, they say. Cognizance of the situation has been taken by the authorities, how ever, to the extent that a bill has been introduced in the state chamber of deputies permitting the establish ment of open saloons for the sale of light wines and beer under strict state supervision. The bill purposes limit ing the number of saloons in accord ance with population and the payment of high state and mnnicipal licenses. Well informed Mexicans believe that saloons will return under the pro posed new law as they contend that while Gen. P. Elias Calles, military governor of Sonora, is an advocate of prohibition he would much prefer the legaizing of the liquor traffic with the Consequent revenue to combating the increasing number of bootleggers. The liquor situatioii in Agua Prieta is a troublesome one to the better class of Sonora Mexicans and resi dents of Douglas and other border towns. It is pointed out that Agua Prieta offers easy acceps to any one in Douglas who desires- to obtain liquor. At the present time certain Mexicans with a great show of friendship invite Americans across the line to visit the bootleggers. The Mexican policemen watch all visitors closely and, it is reported; make a practice of arresting AmerW cans when their conduct becomes bois terous and robbing them of theiy money and other valuables. Should the Americans protest there is always the alternative' of a real arrest and a prison sentence or a heavy fine. Some observers here say the reopening of the saloons will do much toward mak ing a bad situation worse.

He would have everything compactly grouped in a McDougall, inches near—not yards away on scattered hooks and distant shelves. For by similar principle he conserves energy at business. He would have a McDougall because it offers more than a finely built, solidly united’cabinet of oak with joints all mortised instead of nailed or glued—never to wobble, creak or crack despite kitchen heat or steam. He would have a McDougall because it offers more than advanced perfection of design. He would expect the latter because the first kitch en cabinets were McDougalls and because McDougalls have blazed the trail ever since, as witnessed by almost all improvements appearing first on McDougalls. ‘ We have just placed on display an assortment of these McDougall Kitchen Cabinets and we axe not afraid to say that there is no better made than the McDougall.
