Driven frantic by the blood-thirsty pests, residents, particularly in the outlying districts, have almost swamped the commissioner's office with requqests for advice on how to deal with the insects and their bites. wr. Bundeson has given them nothing more than the cheerful in- formation that there is little danger that disease will be spreal by mca quito bites, as the swarm which has made its appearance upparant- ly is of a non-dangerous yarie In the meantime, he advised, frascible sufferers that the best they can do is to remain indoors be- hind screens and depend on right- hand swings to eliminate such blood suckers as are particularly vicious. | ae |lowa Fair Honors Civil War “Boys” DES MOINES, Ia., Aug. 26—Sur- vivors of the boys in blue and vet erans of the Cuban campaign were the grounds éarly at the 70th fair, stepping about to on state gle corps.

The survey shows that in the Dig cities, at lea Liquor prices are on the down aes; bootleggers often are faced with an over-supply; moonshine {ts increasing, if anything, in quantity; the quality of Uquor sold is de- terlorating steadily. In Seattle “all kinds of IMquor” can be bought for $75 a case, three bottles for $20, or from $6.50 to $7 a bottle. This is Scotch, !mported from Canada. Or so the label reads. Gin, bearing the Gordon label, re- tails for about the same price, Some of it is, some of it isn't—the latter being a synthetic variety. Downtown, especially in the south end, dozens of bars sell moonshine at two bits a drink, or $1.50 a pint Most of it is liquid dynamite, but It's said to be a better product than formerly, Fewer cases of blindness and paralysis from drinking it are reported, anyway. Very little Scotch ts sold across bars in Seattlo for various rea. rons. In other cities the following is re- ported: ee oe EW YORK, Aug. 26.—Genuine old Scotch whisky is flowing freely. It can be obtained for as low as $6 a bottle, or even for $4.50 to $5.25 a bottle if bought in case lots. These bottles, however, are “fifths,” not quarts. Synthetic gin {s more plentiful now than at any-time since the Vol-| stead act became effective. It may be bought for $2.50 to $3.50 a quart. And all sales are made more or less openly, Aug. 26.—Gin is be- most popular HICAGO, coming Chicag: drink. Some report it at $2 a quart. Others quote it at $4. And the very best of the old-time synthetic stuff! can be procured at $5. But whisky prices are still high.| Scotch is selling from $8 to $12 a quart. Bourbon, handled mostly in barrel} lots, is selling for around $40 al gallon. Beer, tho, is hard to find.

And, owing to the bobbed-hair epidemic, it's much easter to pro- cure. Canadian beer and ale are pouring over the border. Beer brings $5.50 @ case and the ale $6.50, in saloons and apartment drinking places all over the city. eee you are not too particular, you can find plenty of stuff to drink in Towa. For as long as the “tall corn grows” there is going to be corn whisky, and there are plenty of those who wish to sell it. There is no set price on “corn.” You pay what the vendor thinks the risk he takes is worth. Alcohol highballs, however, seem to be more in demand than any other drink and a fair grade of al cohol can be purchased at $8 per quart. Good bonded whisky, how- ever, is scarce and ts badly cut when it reaches the buyers. one N FRANCISCO, Aug. 26.—"“Any kind, any time, ‘most any place. That's the slogan of the thirsty ones in San Francisco. Cafes and restaurants are doing a thriving business in liquors of all sorts, The foreign colonies are sell- ing more wine than ever. Scotch is obtainable thru many channels at $6 a quart. If you go out beyond the three-mile limit, you can get it as cheap as $36 a case.

Many breweries are running right along, alternating between beer and near beer. Dozens of big rum runners, bring- ing liquor across from Canada, have established their leadquarters here. | State troopers are busy trying to apprehend the smugglers.
