A de.vpat-oh from Quebec says : Further details of the bill to amend the liquor license law indicate that | the Government will go to greater lengths than at first stated. The proposals include : The bars shall not open until 7.30 in the morning, shall remain closed on Dominion and Labor Days, and there shall be no delivery of liquor after closing hours, that is, stores after eleven o'clock p.m. week days and s ; >ven o'clock Saturdays will be prohi'oir-d from delivering orders even if they were placed before eloping hours. Another clause provides tint liquors shall not be s..!.l C.O.D. This will, to some extent, eliminate telephone orders. Another striking clause prohibits statements in ,id- vertisementa published in periodi- cals of any kind which clim thai .the liquor advertised is "benttfidal to health or mind." The same ap- plies to illustrations. * The Government has not iu th coin-so of its temperance pro gramme forgotten to look t-ov^irdi if- wn revenues.
