The word booze" came to us before
the fourteenth century, seemingly from
the Dutch, In the form "bous" or
'bouse." At that time, as noun or
verb, it meant merely drink" and to
speak Of gentleman as housing" his
wine was not libelous or even deroga-
tory, writes Robert p. Utter In Har-
per's Magazine. Somehow 1t acquired
the added suggestion Of excess and
bad company, and by the time Of
Shakespeare we find 1t in glossaries Of
the argot Of thieves and gypsles. The
process may be understood when we
think Of the sinister meaning we often
attach to the simple word drink"
which might conceivably run the same
course II we misuse 1t often enough.

who may have expected to buy cheaI
and sell dear under the provisions o.
the food control law, may expect tc
find themselves brought I'D with
sharp turn and obliged to take out
licenses themselves before they car
sell bread, milk, eggs or any Other
commodity that is for human COM
modify that is for human consump'
ton.
II was emphatically stated at the Of
fee of the food administrator yester-
day that unless the retailers through
out the country fall into line with the
purpose of the administration to see
that the cost of living is kept within
reasonable bounds, the ample powers
of the President will be invoked to
see that every man engaged in the
retail food trade takes out license.
Violation of the regulations governing
his particular case will result in a rev.
ocation of license.
The retailer has seen the govern
ment fix the price of wheat crops of
1917 and 1918, and has observed re-
strictions imposed on the profits to be
made by the millers. He has read
of the requirements under which OPP
orators of elevators and mills Of spe-
CITED capacity must take out licenses
in order to continue business. He
has been informed through the press
that importers and refners Of sugar
also must obtain licenses and conform
to government regulations. The en-
tire program of the food administra-
tion has appeared to him to have been
devised and conducted for his par
ticular benefit and protection. The
people from whom he bought were
tied hand and foot in the
matter of the prices they could charge
him, but he was left absolutely free
to continue to mulct the public to his
hearts content.
BELIEVED POWERS LIMITED.
Perusing the food control law with
a careful eye, he assured himself of
the fact that the authority of the Pres
ident TO fix retail prices was restricted
to coal.
His attention is called by the food
to section 5 of that law,
the provisions OF which are as fol-
lows:
THAT from time to time, whenever
the president shall find il essential to
license the distribution Of any neces-
saries, in order to carry into effect
any of the purposes Of this act, and
shall publicly so announce, no person
shall, after date fixed in the an
nouncement, engage in or carry on
any such business specified in the an
ofimportation, manufac-
ture, storage, mining or distribution
Of any necessaries as set forth in such
unless he shall secure
and hold license issued pursuant to
this section"
The same section provides further
that the President shall have the au-
-hority to prescribe regulations gov
erning the persons to whom such
licenses have been issued, and the re-
luirements for systems of account
ng and the filing Of reports.
