Couiuel for Lipke contended that
the section was invalid because it

which had prevailed before national
prohibition and impose a tax upon
thoi.e who manufactured or sold
liquor. This, she admitted, had the
cifrct of compelling them to share
with the government a part of the

Rats are a menace to the community

UniUp will prevent hidden losses caused
by these animal pests.
Do you know that each female rat is
capable of producing from sixty to one
hundred rats per year if allowed to breed
unmolested. BurnUmUp compound will ex
terminate the scavengers.
Experimental tests with live rats held
in captivity has proven that rats will eat
BurnUmUp in preference to corn, oats,
wheat, mill feed, etc., which makes it a
wonderful accomplishment.
With the use of BurnUmUp compound,
which is a finished product in powdered
form, ready to use, rats become mummi

bad odors.
