per cent beer to stimulate them to a
greater degree than they would be stimu-
lated by hearty meal. On the other
hand, certain authorities insist that any
beverage containing more than one-half
of 1 per cent of alcohol is Intoxicating.
Who shall decide when authorities differ?
The courts want Congress to decide and
many congressman are anxious that the
courts take the responsibility. There is
manifest unwillingness to face the
question squarey and to decide it on its
merits, let the extremists on either side
say what they will.
AS matters stand now it looks as If
light beer would continue to be sold as
usual. This means that many saloons
will continue in business for some months
longer. Whether they will go out of
business after January 16 depends on the
ultimate definition of an Intoxicating
beverage.
That the authorities will do their best
to enforce whatever law may finally be
passed goes without saying, and it is ad-
mitted also that all reputable business
men will obey the law. But no one can
watch the crowds in the retail liquor
stores without being impressed by the
fact that there are thousands of citizens
who will try to get liquor in the future
if any is to be had.

But the problem will not be solved
when the wartime prohibition act is dis
posed of. There remains the enforce
ment of the constitutional amendment.
That amendment forbids the manufac-
ture, sale or transportation of intoxcat-
ing liquors "for beverage purposes"
within the United States or the importa-
ton of such liquors into the country or
their export from the country.
As the amendment is directed against
the production or distribution OF intoxi-
eating liquors as beverage, it is evil
dent that their production for medicinal
and sacramental purposes may continue.
This means that there will still be on sale
such liquors for the unprohibited uses
Their presence here at all will necessitate
rigid regulations for their manufacture
and sale lest they be used illegally.
And it will be necessary to decide what
content of alcohol there must be in beer
or wine to make it intoxicating within
the meaning of the constitution. Ex-
periments have been conducted to prove
that persons unaccustomed to use beer
or wine are unable TO drink enough 2z

in little things, extremely patient and
very modest. 1t is unnecessary to
state that nerve is one OF his qualities.
Whenever a dangerous problem is put
up to him Eagan tucks the problem
under his arm and disappears within
the solid walls of his myterious bomb
chamber. The location of this labora-
tory Is kept secret for many reasons.
One of the reasons is that many per
sons would like to see it blown to the

YOU may be sure that most OF them
would walk block out OF their way to

year for.

of their affection they plague him

In the whole twenty-four years OF
his strange employment he has been

from stomach ache caused by inhaling
