Show FOR INFLUENZA VICTIMS 400 FLASKS OF WHISKEY A bootlegger drove into Roosevelt a few days ago and the officers were following him from another town. When the first search was made of his car nothing was found, but upon closer investigation by an expert machinist ma-chinist a secret chest was found In which was stored four hundred flasks of whiskey. It was just over the radiator radi-ator between the body of the car and the hood, over the engine. Instead of allowing the booze to be destroyed the mayor of Roosevelt and the officers offic-ers decided it should be used on the influenza epidemic. However none of this contraband can be secured without with-out a prescription from the physicians and then only in small quantities. If the "Flu" decides to flee from Roosevelt do not be surprised, because be-cause that much whiskey ought to scare the dread disease away regardless regard-less of its hold upon the community. |
