DRUG PRICES RETURNING
 TO A "NORMAL LEVEL

New York. Aug. 25.-Drug prices are returning to a normal level" ac- cording to representatives of whole sale dealers who were present today at conferences preliminary to the meeting here tomorrow of the Amer ican Pharmaceutical Association. It was explained. however, that the new level will be 25 per cent higher than before the war. The increased pric- es will not be the result of a short age in production. it was said, but of an increased demand.
 One of the most important questions the association will discuss at it's meeting will be the dispensing of liquor under prohibition.

This is a very potent argument indeed But the fact Is that the cost of living has cer- tainly reached it's peak and will prob ably be low ed by the efforts which are now everywhere being concerted and carried out. It will certainly be lowered as soon as there are settled conditions of production and of com merce; that is so soon as the treaty of peace is ratified and in operation and merchants. manufacturers. farm CTS. miners all have certain basis of calculation as to what their business will be and what the conditions will be under which it must be conducted.

EUROPEAN GOVERNMENTS
 RETAIN AMERICAN EXPERTS

Paris, Aug 25-The great telegraph ic communication system throughout Europe which comprised the special telegraph lines turned over to Herbert Hoover, head of the inter allied relief organiza tion, by the various European governments, and operated by Amer ican army and navy personnel, is be- ing handed over to the peace commis- sion, as it forms the only link of conn munication through central Europe.
 The engineering staff in charge of railways and coal distribution through central Europe has been dissolved and it's members recalled by several of the central European governments which requested that these experts should be permitted to enter the employ of the various governments as advisers on transportation and coal production. The Polish government has retained six of the experts and the Austrian government four. and it is expected that the Czecho- -Slovak and Jugo Slay governments will take over the ex- perts formerly operating under MT. Hoover. in these territories.
 MT. Hoover said today that while his work a director general of food sup plies for Europe on behalf Of the allied and associated governments had con ciuded with the arrival of the harvest. there were still several points of great anxiety for next year. That portion of Russia reclaimed from the Bolsheviki near Perrograd had no supplies. If the Russian army advances and takes Petrograd, the food situation will be as bad as under the Bolsheviki, unless some form of relief is provided. he de- clared.
 The stock of relief supplies left in the hands of the inter allied comris- -sioner to Armenia Colonel Haskell will last approximately two months, Mir Hoover continued, hut local pro duction is entirely insufficient to get through the winter. and the relief work in Armenia must continue on sheer charity.
 otherwise than these situations and that of the under nourished chill dren of the poor people" said Mr Hoover, Europe becomes next year solely a problem of credit. as the new governm entS are sufficiently developed to direct the distribution of food. They have not resources. however to feed their people unless they secure loans in the United Sta ates In any case, the problem is no longer one of relief: it is a problem of financial credit in the worlds food rnari<ets'

Of religion to the scientific and Of science
to the religious; there has never been any
real divergence between them; mountains
Of controversy have been heaped upon no
securer a foundation than stupid mis-
conception or deliberate misrepresenta-
ton Of the teachings and truths Of both.
But while Drummond approached his sub
ject as a religious evangelist Interpreting
science to the faithful, DR.. MacKenna is
distinctly the man of science making clear
the essential truth that instead Of denying
the existence of God scientific research
tends more and more convincingly, the
farther it is pursued, to demonstrate, if
not the actual existence of Divine power,
at least the necessity Of accepting belief
in a supreme controlling purpose and in
fuence as the only workable hypothesis
by which the mystery Of life can in any
satisfactory way be accounted for. Drum
mond's book appeared at time when
the religious world was shaken to its
foundations by the revelations of Darwin
ism and what seemed to be, to the super
faal and uniformed, the ineseapable
conclusions Of materialistic universe, if
these disclosures were accepted as truths.
Probably it was the most powerful single
influence in bringing about the acceptance
by the Christian world of scientific re-
search as a road to truth paralleling the
ancient pathway Of Divine revelation. DR..
MacKenna's book comes at time when
the scientific thought of the world, that
for forty years had been by imperceptible
degrees succumbing to the subtle spell of
Haeckel and his German school, has seen
the whole materialistic structure collapse
like house of cards IN the most stupcn-
dous crash of a philosophic system since
the followers Of Baal fell before '1he
sword Of the Lord and Of Gideon" The
failure of materialism, the author makes
clear, is in no sense failure of science,
nor can it be interpreted as in any respect
a denial Of the truths which scientific re-
search has disclosed; it is rather merely
an added proof of the scientific sound
ness Of the Divine hypothesis. II is in
this demonstration, clear, readable &nd
convincing, that the rational seeker. of
