Anyone acquainted with the extent
and ramification of the Illicit liquor

claim.
It hue been conservatively esti

to the Country in money expended
in tho purchneo of bootleg liquor
run* close to $1,000,000,000.
The indirect rust, through lea* of

mention the congestion of the fed
eral courts, resulting from th<>
steady accumulation of liquor cases
which tho courts are unable to clear
away.
Of even greater Importance, from
an economic stand point, is the fact
that of the enormou* amount spent
directly for Illicit liquor, by far the
greater part goes permanently out
