Strike Whiskey off Drug List.

The drug store blind pig" is
doomed. No "blind pig harbored
by any druggist is now so bereft OF
vision that he will not be able to
see clearly after January /, 1916,
that the game is up.
Sight is to be restored to the drug
store "blind pigs by a major opera
ton performed by tifty-one OF the
foremost physicians in the United
States, constituting the National
Pharmocopoeia committee. The op-
GRAFTON which already has been per-
formed consisted of cutting whiskey
and brandy from the new edition OF
the United States pharmacopoeia.
That means that whiskey and
brandy have been declared officially
to be neither drugs nor medicine.
The new edition of the pharmacop-
oeia will be issued January l, 1916,
and after that time brandy and whis-
key cannot be legally sold by drug
gists as medicine.
After that time it will be neces-
sagy for the druggist to Danish whis-
key and brandy from his store or
take out a retail liquor dealers IL
cense and become classed as a sa-
loon keeper. Instead of paying only
the s25 federal liquor permit fee as
at present, he will be compelled, if
he continues to sell whiskey and
brandy, to pay the much higher local
license rates and comply with state
and municipal regulations. The &C
ton of the committee is recognized
as a severe blow to the liquor traffic,
!; In, in
where it is next to impossible to OBJ
tain spirits except in the guise OF
medicine at drug stores. The step
will also put out Of business a num-
Der Of patent medicines which prac-
tica1lv are little more than whiskey
or brandy and are chiefly valued for
that character.
No one is able to estimate how
many drug stores throughout the
country will be wiped out as re-
suit OF this decision. 1t is general
" admitted that in dry" territory
the number of drug stores is un-
doubtedly much larger than it will
be after it is impossible to sell
liquor as medicine. In many local
tiles, however, many druggists have
voluntarily given up the saloon
liquor.
1t is known that one of the main
reasons why the revision committee
took action as it did, is that COM
paritiveIy few physicians now pre-
scribe liquor even as a tonic. The
number of persons who obtain from
their physicians a prescription for
Whiskey or brandy is small. Even
so-called pure malt whiskies" will
be tabooed by the new order. They
cannot be sold from drug stores.

IN western extremes. Conditions at
the same time will be changing to
warmer and threatening further
east The falling barometer will
Shift to eastward daily, and storms
of wind, rain and thunder will pass
gradually to central and eastward
parts Of the country, from about
Sunday the 22nd to Wednesday the
18th. While we do not say that
West India hurricanes and cyclones
are imminent, or necessarily certain
at this time, we do undertake to
warn our readers and all concerned
OF possible and probable danger
gulf and South Atlantic coasts. Dis
turbances of this period will reach
the eliminating climax within sixty
hours OF sunset on the 23rd. This
warning will be of increased i'm
portance during the remainder of
this month, and into September.
People in exposed districts along the
southern coasts are in the greater
danger, because they enormously
suppose that these destructive,
equinoctial storms and tidal waves
are not due until about the middle
OF September. Should great baro-
metric displacements and violent
eQuinoctial storms occur in the
south, during any of these late Au-
gust periods, atmospheric tides will
drift from northerly regions and
very cool weather for the season will
spread over most interior sections
from northerly parts Of the country.
The third reactionary storm period
is central on the 26th, 27th and
18th. The moon being on the equa-
tor on the 26th, the disturbances
from the preceding period will hard
ly disappear before renewal of storm
conditions will be apparent on and
next to that date. The Mercury,
Venus and earth forces will be in
tensifying at this period, promising
many active disturbances, and call
ing for watchful precautions on
land and seas. To trained and care
ful observers. many premonitions
are always present at the on-coming
of great and dangerous storms, but
it cannot be gainsaid that good,
trustw orthy barometer, properly UNI
del stood and watched, far outranks
every other means or appliance. In
ne very nature OIL thiHSs, uduselouo
atmospheric disturbances are not
possible, in the absence Of certain
barometric indications, and these at
mospheric conditions cannot exist,
without being recorded by the faith
full barometer. Hence, we continu-
ally and sincerely magnify its i'm
portance, and commend it's value to
all men. The first two days Of
regular storm period wind up the
month. This period is central on
September End and will be describ-
ed in the forecasts for that month.

four corners Of the wall, ready to
blaze away at the slightest sign of
revolt.
1.-THE sultan of Solo, who has his
own regiment of soldiers, and who
still exercises an almost unbelievable
sway, despite his subserVience to the
government, would only have to give
a sign to have every white person in

American women that the wives of
the oriental harems are rebellious love
slaves, eating their hearts of in Bit
terness and jealousy, is all wrong.
They are the happiest women mag
Unable. The lives Of the sultan of
Solos many mates are for the most
part sunny, with duties and pleasures
mingled so as to produce content.
Their first concern, of cOUrse-and
this is raciaIly informs to rear chill
dren. And the palatial enclosure is
simply alive with romping, cooling
brown youngsters.
1.-THE wives here are not yelled as
they are in Turkey. They have a
great deal of freedom, coming and
going within the royal city much as
they please Theaters and special
functions are provided for their pleas
ure, just as schools are maintained
for the children.
1.-THE sultan of Solo, a handsome
man of 40, is always marrying some
new wife. And, because Of the dis
tinction such attention confers upon
the family of each additional bride,
he practically has his choice of any
unmarried native woman.
''The older he gets the younger are
the new wives he selects. The same
is true of the sultan of Djokya, the
other sedan of Java, who is now in
his 18th year.
There is no doubt that the people
and there are 45,000,O 900 in Java
are happier under the Dutch govern
ment rule than they were when the
sultans and the princes exercised full
control. Before that the sultan could
take anything he coveted - gold
crops, animals, daughters and wives,
as his fancy dictated. Now there is
justice.
But among the upper caste Of ma
tiVes there is smoldering discomfort |

of transparent white Swiss. The trim
ming was, Of course, cretonne, for no
dress is quite complete without it this
summer, but this time 1t had forsaken
its gay colors and flowers in favor of a
black-andw white check. TO say that
bands and facings Of this material
on the white were startling is putting
it mildly, but, then, the points of the
skirt were striking enough to carry
off a contrast Of this kind.
The latter part Of last week the ba-
zaar Of the season was held at the
home Of one Of the leaders Of the New
port set. In artistic tableaux, backed
by Grecian summer houses, all the
summer modes were reviewed and
predictions made for the coming sea-
son.
Striped Fnillc a Favored Fabric.
Every dress showed at least two ma
tcrials; heavy faille silk was a fay-
ored fabric. One tall blonde name
quin wore address Of striped satin and
erOsgrain silk which was particularly
new and attractive. It's very simpli-
city battles description, it's charm be-
ing in tho clever use of the stripes.
The skirt had a pleated lower section,
killed one might say, for it was staight
and laid in deep folds from the hip to
the bottom. This was cut with the
stripes crosswise, while the yoke,
waist and cuffs had the stripes
straight up and down. There was a
white Swiss, and sleeves of black
Georgctte crepe, making striking
contrast with the cuffs of the silk
Skirts Short and Shorter Still.
There seemed to be no limit to the
shortness of the skirt. The costume
Just mentioned was worn with white
kid shoes and the skirt was so short
that at least an inch Of the stocking
showed between the top of the shoe
and the bottom Of the skirt. Indeed,
many of the manncQuins looked like
school girls, but shoes are fancy and
skirts arc obviously short to show
them. Women want their moneys
worth. AS | watched the manncuins,
| could not help thinking Of the little
hoy who went without his coat in Dc
, ccmbcr TO show his new suspcndcrs.
Serge seems TO be even moro popu-
lar than in past seasons. This is, no
doubt, due to the fact that it is so hard
for the French mills to weave their
novelties. However, tho scrgcs are
smart and the women seemed content
to use these in combination with the
taffctas and faillcs. There were some
smart effects WI" striped taffctas and
the plain dark lc grosgran com
bincd with serge made rich dresses.
Scotch plaidS were much i'm evidence.
but tho tones wcrc so dark and rich
they could scarcely be said to contrast
with the blue.

Points in Fashion.

Just at the present time, this last
word happens to be points, and fcmin-
inc society has taken to it like ducks
TO water. These points must be in the
right place though, and this place is
the lower edge of the skirt. Deep
points and small points all contrive to
show the gorgeous Innings of the
skirts.

New York. Aug. 2O.-The torpedoing
of the White Star liner Arabic by a

80 lives, is the outstanding event in

Again that Brunswick crew sprung
our Jinx and captured the opener u
to 2. 1t looked like history repeating
itself when the Pilots got the start in
the first and ran away with the game.
1t reminded the fans of last year
when the Pilots got a 13 to start on
us in decisive series. But history is
due to repeat itself even further than
the first game The fans remember
that after the rotten start the Muck
alees came back strong and won the
series. Watch the dope. Watch two
wins from Brunswick
Walden started the game but was
retired after the first Six runs were
scored by Brunswick on five hits,
three errors, and some rotten umpir-
ing by Hancock The jumps started
the trouble when he walked a man
after Walden had struck him out.
Then the ascension began and the Pill
OTIS profited thereby.
But yesterdays game is ancient his
tory, ancient history of the painful
sort. We1l forget that drubbing
handed Walden, Elrod and the Muck
alees. Aside from numerous wrangles
the game was. undressing.
Stewart pitched a good game for
the visitors and Bope and Reilly played
!. pretty game. Jack Guess at first
and Dunning in center played good
ball for the loosers.
Today Blansit works for the locals.
Dickerson, a big fellow from Macon
will pitch tomorrow. Several shifts
will be made in the lineup that will
strengthen the team.
Here is that painful box score. Take
this tip from us, from now on the club
will be there fighting all the way.
