The JOY OF Living.

To enjoy life we must have good
health. No one can reasonably hope
to get much real pleasure out of life
when his bowels are clogged a good
share of the time and the poisons
that should be expelled are absorbed
into the system, producing headache
and indigestion. A few doses of
Chamberlain's Tablets will move the
bowels, strengthen the digestion and
give you a chance to realize the real
joy of living. Try it. m

LAGER Beer Manufacturers Will Fight
the Law.-The Lager Beer Manufac-
turers board of New York, represent
ing forty-two brewing concerns IN New
York and New Jersey. have announced
that on advice of counsel its members
would resume at once sale Of beer con-
tanning 2 ga per cent alcoholic content
This was forbidden by a ruling OF the
internal revenue department which in
terpreted President Wilson's proclama-
ton effective December last.
Upon representation by the board to
Elihu Root and William D. Guthrie,
counsel for the organization, that beer
of the alcoholic strength specified was
not intoxicating, the attorneys advised
the organization that sale Of the S-4
per cent product would not be contrary
to law.
The opinion held that the internal
revenue department had acted without
authority in decreeing that sale OF beer
containing more than one-half OF one
per cent Of alcohol was contrary to the
presidents proclamation forbidding the
use of foodstuffs in brewed products
except those which were non-intoxicat-
ing.
The brewers action, anticipating en-
forcement on May Of the regulation
limiting use Of cereals to "non-intoxi-
cants" containing one-half Of one per
cent alcohol, was taken under the In
ternal revenue ruling permitting until
that date, manufacture Of 23-4 per
cent beer, but requiring the product to
be de-alcoholized to one-half OF one
per cent before being shipped for sale
from the breweries. AS the brewers
have been making 2 ga per cent
brew since January 80, when the presi-
dent issued a proclamation permitting
the production Of near beer" no
change in manufacturing methods will
be necessary, 1t was stated, to carry
out the plan decided upon.
Assuming that the government may
summarily attempt to enforce the rev.
enue departments Interpretation, Mes
srs. Root and Guthries advised the
brewers in this event that suit in equi-
ty be brought to "enjoin any wrongful
interference with your business or ar
rest of your employees"

eERMANYS COTTON SUPPLY.
Country Needs Nearly Half Of Pres
ent Crop to Make up Shortage.

Germany's cotton shortage Is esti-
mated to be 4.500,O 900 bales of 500 pounds
each in dispatches based on the opin-
on of European experts and made
public in Washington Thursday
When Germany began hostilities in
1914 the country had on hand only
about 100000 bales Of raw and manu-
featured cotton, supply sufficient
for two or three months. The pre-war
consumption had been 100000 bales
annually, much of which was exported,
but the cessation Of exports was fully
offset by military needs, so that the
country's requirements were not less
ened. The stocks on hand were sup
plcmented to the extent Of 100000
bales by seizures in invaded districts.
Many expedients were described as
having been used by the central
powers to obtain the staple through
neutral countries, and in the first three
years reasonably large quantities Of
cotton goods" were imported in that
way. German sources estimate that
i00, 900 bales were purchased from the
United States, Scandinavia, Holland,
175O00 bales from Switzerland before
the blockade was made entirely ef-
cctive, up to the end Of 1917. The
amount obtained in 1918 was not
':nown.
A total Of 100000 bales also were
acquired in Asia Minor and Russian
Turkestan. Cotton purchased by Ger
man interests, which were unable to
import it from neutral countries, Is es-
timated at 100000 bales. of which
100000 bales are stored in Scandina-
via, Holland and Spain, and 10000
Bales III switzerland.
Substitutes for cotton, made from
paper, nettles, ETC., were not very sue
cessful, and only 10 per cent of Ger
manys normal domestic cotton con-
sumption was met in that way, accord
ing to the estimates, or about 100000
bales in three years.
Based on the above information it
was estimated that Of Germany's
average need of 100000 bales in four
years, only 3,500,OO0 bales had been
supplied.
In determining the cotton ration to
be supplied Germany. it was pointed
out the loss of Alsace and Lorraine
must be taken into consideration.
Those provinces included rs per cent
of the spindle and loom capacity Of
the country, so that the annual re-
ouirements have been reduced to per-
haps 100000 bales. Virtually all
factories were said to be in great
need of repair and loss Of three or
four months working time was esti-
mated to be necessary to put the ma
chinery injured by working on sub
etitutes, in good condition.
The report pointed out that If Ger
many demanded that the shortage be
made up, she would be asking in ef-
feet for one fourth of the worlds an
nual production of 2O000.00O bales.
