Tactless Uplifters.

In saying that he sometimes
gets tired Of hearing the word
"uplift" uttered in his presence,
Ex-President Roosevelt express
es the feeling of thousands of his
fellow countrymen who are at
tracted to the higher planes of
thought and endeavor, but would
like to reach them in their own
individual ways and without the
prodding of fanatics.
The radical trouble with too
many "uplifters' is that they are
merely rainbow chasers, endeav-
oring vainly to bring on the mil
lennium before its ordained time.
Like their enemy the Devil they
go about seeking whom they may
devour, in the name of Progress.
Their aims may be highly praise
worthy, but their tempo, to use
a musical phrase, is all wrong.
They are endeavoring to STAN

There has been a great Jump in
quinine during the past year, the
price Of the drug having increas-
ed from % cents to $2.4O a
pound. It is due, it is said, to
one of two reasons: "Manipula-
ton Of the drug market by man
ufacturers and spectators, or
lack Of the drug because of the
great demand for it by foreign
countries" Quinine is manufac-
tured from Peruvian, technically
known as Chinchona, bark. 1t
is imported in great quantitits
from South America. One phar-
macist said that previous to the
war, the great supply of this
Peruvian bark came from South
America and that the war has
not caused any cessation of i'm
portation from that source. 1t
must be speculation pure and
simple.
