Can't Search Homes Section Provides That Dwellings Are Inviolate Under Certain Conditions. ^ The national prohibition act for the enforcement of war prohibition which has passed both houses of congress and which will probably become effective without the signature of Pe^s iaent wnson, coniams many lutcicsiing provisions, one of which is that! any person who is injured by an intoxicated person shall have a right of action against the person who unlawfully assisted in procuring the Jiquor for the person intoxicated. Another provision of the bill that has excited considerable comment'is that physicians holding a permit may give a prescription for liquor in a * v limited quantity. A third provision is that any room, house, building or vehicle where intoxicating liquor is manufactured, sold or kept is declared to be a common nuisance and that any person who maintains such a common nuisance shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction shall be fined not more than $1,000 * * 4 41, A m or De lmpnsoneu ior uui muic mau on? year. One section of the bill provides that * . no person shall on or after* the date A - "when the eighteenth amendment to the constitution goes into effect manufacture, sell, transport or possess "liquor except as authorized in this .. national prohibition act. The, eighteenth amendment, which is the prohibition amendment, goes into effect in January. In the language of the bill "any person who shall be injured in person, property, means or support ox otherwise by any intoxicated person, 'or by reason of the intoxication of any person whether resulting in his death or not, shall have the right of action against any person who shall, by unlawfully selling to or unlawfully ' r assisting in procuring liquor for such intoxicate4 person, have caused or ' contributed to such intoxication; and in any such action such person shall have a right to recover actual and v exemplary damages.

Such action may be brought in any court of competent jurisdiction." The section having to do with nuisances, is, fn part, as follows: "Any room, house, building, boat, vehicle, structure,, or place where intoxicating liquor is manufactured, sold, kept or i bartered in violation of this title, and all intoxicating liquor and property kept and used in maintaining the same, is hereby declared a common nuisance, and any person who mainj \ tains such a common nuisance shall * be guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction ethereof shall be fined not more than $1,000 or be imprisoned for not more than one year, or both.

Such action shall be brought and tried as an action in equity and may be brought in anv court having jurisdiction to hear and determine equity cases. If it is made to appear by affidavits or K otherwise to the satisfaction of the court, or judge in vacation, that such nuisance exists, a temporary writ of injunction shall forwith issue restraining the defendant from conducting or permitting the coninuance of such nuisance until the conclusion of the trial." Under section 25 of the bill, occurs the following, "No search war" rant shall issue to search any private " * dwelling occupied as such unless it 'is being used for the unlawful sale of intoxicating liquor, or unless it is in part used for some business purpose such as a store, shop, saloon, restaurant, hotel or boarding house.'* Under section 33 of the bill is the following: "After February 1, 1920, the possession of liquors by any per^ son not legally permitted under this title to possess liquors shall be prima facie evidence that such liquor is ?

And no physician shall prescribe liquor unless after careful physical ! examination of the person for whose use such prescription is sought, or It such examination is found impractic! able, then upon the best information obtainable, he in good faith believes i that the use of such liquor as a medicine by such person is necessary and will afford relief to him from some known ailment." The section further provides that no more than a pint of liquor may be prescribed for the same person within a period of ten days. ^ ^ ^ iAbou YY YY 8 C( ft YY XX Being oversi ft wanting t ii prices t XX XX Every Coat ft pr t v ?X ft If COA, XX Broadcloth, serge, all X?it styles and be ft $$ SERGE, SH u Of all colors and beaul XX in mind that my || cole LARGE ASSORT XX Consisting of lawns, 01 XX an(* georgette crepe: Jf .. j>j> HUNDR] ^ X I have hundreds of i XX ure.
