New Britain druggists for the first time in history are without medicinal aleohol due partly to the effect tha prohibition has upon medicine and partly to railroad transportation which has held up needed shipments for several weeks. J. W. Marsland | of the Dickinson Drug compan president of the Connecticut Pharma- ceutical association, stated today t he situation had become acute, as alcohol is much needed in drug man- ufacture. The government's forcement of prohibition without ex- ceptions has made the lot of the druggist a ditficult one, as it is next to impossible to secure the alcohol without going through considerable red tape. When the government passed the prohibition law, it affected the use of medicinal alcohol as well, ! as the act was a wide-sweeping one, no consideration nor exceptions being made for medical uses. ‘Woeuld Do Away With Italian Loafers| Rofne, Feb. 9.—All able-bodied itizens of Italy between the ages of 20 and would be required to work by the provisions of a bill introduce:l today by Giovanni Lombardi, ind pendent deputy, who ca the measure A Bel sons able to work who do are subjected to heavy under the provisions of the bill.
