MORE WHISKY
FOR PATIENTS
Chicago Doctors Form Organization
Whose Object is to Secure
Unlimited Number
of Blanks.

CHICAGO. H., Aug. 21.-The
American Protective Medical Irater'
nity was launched at meeting of
Chicago physicians, to discuss the re-
strictions on liquor prescription
blanks by the federal prohibition
director.
One of the objects of the fraternity
is "to secure for the physicians an
unlimited number of prescription
blanks" Among the other expressed
objects are to cooperate with tie
prohibition authorities in UNFOLDING
the eighteenth amendment and assist
in enforcing the Volstead act.
A committee Of five physicians was
named to draft rules and bylaws.
1T was headed by DR.. E. w. Scott,
who was chief medical officer in
charge of emergency influenza hos
pitfalls, Washington, during the war.
DR.. Scott said the physicians them
selves should be the ones to decide
the number of blanks needed. Chi.
cago physicians now are allowed 200
blanks every three months by the
prohibition director.
. Dr.. M. L. Smith said that the way
things were run now about all a
physician could do was to sell the
blanks to the highest bidder.

WOOD Is FUEL
USED BY BOATS
Some Of the Present Day Steamers
are Going Back to the Days Of
Long Ago When Posts and Logs
Were Cut Up for Boilers.

Some of the boats now plying the
for fuel, owing to the shortage of coal
supply. The Keokuk and the Capitol
both are said to be using wood to help
out their supply of coal.
The situation reminds a writer in
the Warsaw Bulletin of the old Gays
along the river, and he says:
Sixty years ago, and even less,
wood was exclusively used by steam
boats on the upper Mississippi. and
very generally south of st. Louis. All
along the river were wood yards,
where there CHANGED to be timber and
a good landing, and one of the pic
turesque night scenes was the loading
of the fuel by the light of their tar
and pitch torches.
In those days the only bridge span
ming the river was at Rock Island,
and it was built Of wood Steamboat
men resented the building of it as an
obstruction to navigation, and some
way or other the boats found it always
necessary to fire up lively when pass
ing through the draw, leaving trail
of sparks in their wake which If they
CHANGED to fall in favorable place on
the draw might start blaze. On one
of these occasions, back in the early
SOS, it happened to be the steamer
Davenport that, passing north through
the draw, sent out Of its smokestacks
embers that fell on some straw in the
stable on the upper end Of the draw
{for the draw keeper lived on the
draw with his family and there stabbed
his cow, and before the boat had got
around the bend of Rock Island the
stable was ablaze, soon communicat-
ing to the draw-keeper's house and
then to the draw. The draw was
swung clear of the main structure of
the bridge, burned in twain and fell
into the water with crash that was
felt on both shores. Firemen from
Davenport and Rock Island, supple
mented by locomotives, saved the
bridge proper. One portion of the
draw floated far enough south-or
rather west, for the river runs due
west at that point-to leave a clear
channel for boats desiring to pass
through the bridge Long ago the
wooden bridge was replaced with an
iron structure.

SELLING SUGAR
LOWER NOW
Sixteen Cents in Some Cities and
Housewives Warned Not to Lay
in Large Stocks
Now.

United Press Leased Wire Service.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.-Sugar
prices are declining in many parts of
the country, according to figures gath
cred by the United Press.
The falling market is spotted"
Sugar prices range from sixteen cents
per pound in Chicago and 16 and one
half cents in ST Louis to thirty cents
in San Antonio. Texas, where no de
crease whatever, has been registered.
1.-THE bottom has not dropped out OF
the sugar market" said Commissioner
Ethelbert Stewart, of the bureau of
labor statistics today But with
many cities I believe the falling mar
ket will continue.
1.-THE bottom price has not yet been
reached.
II do not believe there is a chance
that prices will go up. If house.
wives begin to lay in large stocks
now, though. it is possible the drop
may stop.
There is, therefore, nothing to be
gained by laying in large quantities
of sugar now. Housewives should
buy only to meet immediate needs"
The price reductions caught many
dealers with large stocks of sugar on
hand which they now are being forced
to sell at less than cost, according tc
reports to the justice department.
Many letters and kilograms are be
ing received from wholesale dealers
who are asking that they be allowed
a profit of more than one cent pei
pound Justice officials today were
not inclined to make any regulations
that would save the pocketbooks OF
dealers, it was said.
Large quantities of sugar are being
thrown into the wholesale market by
candy dealers.

Poole said his advice to the house
wife was to purchaA1 as little sugar as
possible and watch the price dwindle
as holders Of the sweetener enter the
market against enlarged beet sugar
crops and an incoming flood of Cuban
cane sugar.
The Chicago expert said the beet
sugar crop will be thirty to forty per
cent larger than last year and the
Cuban crop about three times larger
than it was in 1914. He claimed
there is no shortage Of sugar now.

CUPID AND JANITORS
 SEVER RELATIONS"
(By United Press }

Hartford Conn., Aug. 23.-Cupid and some hard-hearted janitors of this city are not on speaking terms, and all because the tiny bits of paper, confetti, are difficult to sweep up.
 Hartford is the home of many in surance companies. Each employs many girls-clerks and stenogra- phers. Of late many of them have deserted typewriters for husbands. Each desertion is marked by a shower of confetti. Hence, Cupid versus janitors.
 The janitors were so insistant in one of the buildings that the presi- dent of the insurance company was forced to post notices profiteering the usual confetti singing contests.
