BLIND PIG" TO co
Death KnelI of Drug Store
Booze Is Sounded.
Important Action Taken by
PharmacOpOeia Committee.

Washington, July "a blow has
been dealt to the blind pig that has
its habitat in many drug stores
throughout the country.
The National Pharmacopoeia COM
mlttee, composed of fifty-one of the
leading physicians of the country, has
cut whisky and brandy from the new
edition of the United States Pharma-
copoeia.
This means that whisky and brandy
nave been declared officially to be
neither drugs nor medicine. The new
edition of the Pharmacopoeia will be
issued about January L, 1916, and
after that time brandy and whisky
cannot legally be sold by druggists as
medicine.
1t then will be necessary for the
druggists to meet the local require
ments-i. E., take out a saloon license
if he wishes to sell ''nips" behind the
counter.
The action of the Pharmacopoeia
committee is recognized as a severe
blow to the liquor traffic, particularly
in dry districts, where it is next to
impossible to obtain spirits except in
the guise of medicine at drug stores.
The step also will put out of business
number of patent medicines which
practically are little more than whisky
or brandy and are chiefly valued for
that character.
1t is know one of the main reasons
why the revision committee took ac-
ton as it did is that comparatively
few physicians now prescribe liquor
even as a tonic.

ADVICE TO THE
CHRISTIAN SOLDIER
Written for THE EVENING JOUR
NAL by james I. Crozier.

Fret not thyself in any wise,
No matter what trials may come;
'Tis only the trustful that win the
prize
To a place in that Heavenly home.
We all have a place In this world to
fill.
Like the pawns in a game of chess,
And are led on our way by a masters
will
In safety-no thought of guess.
Just start each day with a word Of
prayer,
AS each one shall come and go;
Feel safe in His presence, and no mat
ter where
You may be in this world below,
Just put all your trust and your faith
in Him
Whose promise is sure to us ALL
His own precious blood has cleansed
you from sin;
He will always respond to your call.
II brings a sweet thought when you
know you can sing,
As the days in your life pass by:
"Oh Glory to God, I'm a child Of a
King"
With a home up beyond the sky
Where no night ever comes; ever
flowers in bloom
And from all sin and sorrow be
free;
And bless His dear name-there is
plenty OF room
For us all through eternity.
We thank thee. dear Lord, for this
precious thought;
Some day we shall look in thy face
With the victories won and our last
battle fought.
Wen be sinners all saved by grace.
We shall meet friends and loved ones
on those blessed shores.
Where parting shall never more
come
Wen be happy with Jesus and them
ever more
In those mansions-our Heavenly
home.
