"Eenie, Meenie, MIME, MOI"

The Denver daily papers of Mon
day announced that the supreme court
had handed down decision in the
famous N. N. Mclean Jamaica Ginger
case in which it had reversed the dis
trict court in part and sustained it in
part. There is nothing until a copy
of the decision arrives in town to show
whether the ginger is judicially de-
clared an intoxicating liquor or not
anyway it would take more than a
judicial decision to make most men
drink it. However, if even the su-
preme court shutters over decision on
the question, how is a poor merchant
expected to know?

THE MORE, THE HIGHER

Army prices contain some innova-
lions for the housewife. When she
bought canned vegetables Of the War
Department, on August l8, through
the new firm, Messrs. War and Post
Office, Ltd, she discovered that the
usual rule, Of smaller prices for guam
tity, did not hold good. On the CON
trary, she could buy one canf of beans
for seven cents, but if her mayor had
a municipal scheme for distribution
ne had to pay 80 cents for a dozen of
the same cans!
The army explains the upset Of the
usua! rule by saying that it dropped
the fractions for housewives, but kept
them against the mayors-The Ma
