Licence te Prosvect for Caal - Pussyfoot’s Real Field Liquor is said by official figures from Washington to have caused 2467 deaths in the United States during 1923. It is a terrible toll, And had the American government not spent millions to prevent the drinking of harmful liquor it would have been stil] more ter- rible. - But for every 10 persons that died from over-drinking during 19%3, 100 died from over-eating. If it is worth while to spend a million dollars to cut down the death rate caused ‘by injudicious drinking, it would be just as worth while to spend ten million dollars to eut down the death rate caused by injudicious eating. Before another century is past, one of the prime functions of government will be to see that the people are properly educated in the science of living and that at least as much money is spent on keeping people from eating themselves to death’ as is spent on préventing them from. drink- ing themselves to death. - —Van- couver Sun. What applies to the U.S. ap- plies eqally to Canada, and the funny part of it is that most of the food hogs are loudest in their condemnation of over-drinking. For the preservation of the human race and the maintenance of com- mon decency it-is tithe laws were passed prohibiting the food hogs feeding themselves. ” _ Vancouver—the city of snow, ice and rain. Who would want to live in such a hick town? Never know what clothes to put on ‘to insure’ a safe return at night. Col. C. W. Peck is being boost- ed on the Islands 9s leader of the Conservative party, to succeed W. J. Bowser when that old war horse decides to retire. But Cy. says there’s nothing to it. The business man’s curse— January, This month means: Dominion. income tax returns, provincial income tax returns, departments .of labor statistics (Dominion and provincial) , Work- men’s Compensation statistics, and statistical returns to every Tom, Dick and Harry who gets a job in the civil service. No two forms:are alike and each depart- ment endeavors to get the most complicated form, Some Italians in Vancouver have been caught putting real labels on bogus booze. and the Attorney- general’s department is the government stores get some of the vile stuff being sold to the unsuspecting public. ee This is the license and permit month. It is hardly safe to go outside the house without first arming oneself with a sheaf of such documents. Among others there are business license, auto license, booze permit, gun license, trap license, fish license, gas license, besides all the ordinary and extraordinary taxes, It costs monéy to live nowadays. Peter McArthur gets off some good ones now and then. His statement that the government would not permit him to pack! a lot of rotten apples in a barrrel which was to be sold’ as good grade, but does not prevent pack- ing a lot of rotten securities in the bank purchased with the money of the people who deposit: ed thelr savings there, has truth to back it up.— Petrolia Topic.
