The Punk law does not prohibit a ptrnon from carrying liquor Into dry territory In this state for III own personal use, but he cannot dispose of It or deliver It to nny other person No ArrrM As Yet. Hlnce the Punk law has lieen In effect there hna leen no arrests In the vtste for xlolntlon of Its provisions. The rnllronds, the express companies and other transportation companies han refused to hnndln liquor except where It Is shlppid to rcxulsr phar-mncUts, phar-mncUts, who have a rlshl to sell alcohol, al-cohol, whisky or wlnn on prescription. Tho breweries aid wholesalers refuse to ship llqunr Into do' territory except to pharmacliits who ptnee n written order as required by law. In n srrot man) Instnneei', however, how-ever, tho Punk law Is being violated by Individuals who carry liquor Into dry territory for their own use and the u no of their friends. This Is being pushed to n great extent In sotno dry localities nnd nil effort Is being mndn to catch the violators.

The physicians In many of thrso communities com-munities hnve agreed not to prcscrlho whisky, beer or wlnn In nny case, and only alcohol when necessary. In other communities both the drug stores nnd ph)slclnns nre violating the spirit of tho law by giving prescriptions prescrip-tions for llqunr. Thosn who maintain that prohibition prohibi-tion does not prohibit nre having a hard time getting liquor In outlying counties. |
