TO RULE ON BEER FOR
MEDICINAL PURPOSES

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-Can just
plain old beer be used for medicinal
purposes.
This question is causing some fur
ther trouble for the enforcers and the
interpreters OF prohibition legislation,
also some hope for the few thousand
or more thirsty individuals dhrougA-
out the country who contend beer has
always been regarded as having won
derful medicinal properties.
The Volstead Enforcement law did
not regard beer as having medicinal
value. The law provided for the sale
OF "splrituous liquors" through pre-
scription OF physicians, but no word
was said OF beer because at that time
the prohibitionists took the attitude
that beer was not a lt thing TO pre-
scribe"
Now. according TO The opinion OF

Is no legislation TO prevent physician
prescribing a barrel OF beer every
week. In fact, It has been preparing
TO produce beer for sale across the
counters OF drug stores. There seems

SWORDS AND PLOUGHSHARES

Dor the War Department has discon-
tinued its recruiting work in rural com
munities. and future armies are to be
given courses in agriculture. The mil
itary camps are no longer to be places
where the mind of the soldier is kept
constantly upon the subject of shoot
ing straight, riding hard, throwing
bombs, and similar activities. 1t has
lbeen noted that the regular soldiers
in past years had nothing ahead Of
them but to re-enlist upon the expira-
ton Of service, for the simple reason
THAT all they knew was soldering. They
were unfit for civil life and its occu-
pations, and to frequently they were
merely tough guys. because then
minds had been brought to halt thru
| the methods of life and the limited in
struction received in camps.
The War Department says that THE
future army will not spend part 81
the day in drill and the remainder ii
lidleness. In order to change this
says an official statement, it is ths
Ipolicy Of the War Department to make
farmers of as many recruits as can b.

in agriculture taught in Army school,
is under the derect supervision Of ex
perts obtained from the leading agri
cultural institutions of the country.

EXPLAIN RUSSIAN
COOPERATIVE PLAN

Washington, D. C.-The department
of commerce Thursday night made
public a monograph on the Russian
Cooperative movement, /" showing that
.2O,OO0.00O people. representing a pop
ulation of 100000, are members
Of the societies, through which a very
large percentage of trade is being carr
ried on.
Few persons in this country. per-
haps. had heard Of the Russian Co-op-
leratives until the announcement Of the
supreme council last January that trad
ing relations with Russia would be per-
mitted only through these societies.
The report was written by Frederick
IL. Lee when in charge of the economic
intelligence section Of the war trade
board of the United States Russian bu-
reau. and has been revised up to date
with recent data.
F, Ii describes the Co-operatives, tells
what they are, how they are organized.
what commodities they handle, what
have been their relations with the diff
ferent governments Of Russia, and how
they attained a success which won
them recognition from the supreme
council.
The report states that the co-opera-
tive movement celebrated its fiftieth
university in 1915. and shows that the
recent growth of the movement has
been phenomenal.-Equ News.

Our Washington Letter

Primarily, the reason for the adj
vance in paper is.due to wood short
age. In earlier days the paper mills
we're built in the lumber regions and
their pulp wood was a sort Of by-pro-
duct Of the saw milling industry. But
in most Of these regions the saw mills
have finished, and they have packed
up, burned out, or moved away for
some other reason. But the paper mill
cannot play the part Of the carpet

NEWSPRINT HAS ADVANCED
500 PER CENT

A current report of the Government
Forest Service says that the larger
newspaper publishers of the country
have been able to keep down the adj
vance in cost Of their newsprint to
about 200 per cent because of their
ability to contract in large volume.
But the market price. according to the
bulletin, has advanced 500 per cent
since 1915. 1t is at this price that the
small publisher is compelled to buy his

Il seems strange that the human
family should cling to and love those
whom they sometimes dislike.
This is the thought presented to the
mind Of the writer on perusal of Mill
sap's Personelle which arrived last
week
Walter Millsap was efficiency man"
IN the Colony for a long time, and
he was in position to receive an
amount Of abuse which only an opti-
mist could stand.
Walter is now raying over the pic
MICS and the meetings he is organic
ing for those who, when in the colony,
picked on Millsap's efficiency bug
when there was nothing else to pick
on.
When these people were with us as
partners, some Of them looked hard
er for each others faults than they
did for solution to the many prob
lens we faced. Walter was not one
Of that kind. Indeed many dozen
angry colonists has he quieted after
someone's tongue had riled their COM
pIacency. Now these birds are pic
nicing together. They have no other
aim. They spend their energy work
ing for the other fellow. and are glad
to cooperate once in while in a
picnic
The point we wish to raise is this;
this peculiar trait is not confined to
this dozen or two ex-colonists. It is
found throughout all mankind. Your
best friend may become irksome and
undesirable should you be thrown too
close together.
However II may be. the Democrat
commends the spirit which holds the
picnickers together and many Of them
We shall be glad to welcome home,
when they get through with their va
cations.
The fact that the colony is getting
along better than ever is not proof
hat il was they who held us back.
The fact is that we are progressing
in spite Of their absence rather than
because Of it.
But progressing nicely we are, never
theless.

BULLY FOR MISSOURI.

In the midst of wisconsin in Geor-
gia and Johnsonism in Michigan and
Nebraska and LaFollettes domination
in Wisconsin, it is refreshing to hear
the clarion call to true Americanism
SOUNDED by the democracy of the
great state of Missouri. Men who
we're dlsloyal to their country during
the war, who had words of sympathy
for Germany, who hate everything for
which America waged war and every
one with whom we were allied in that
holy struggle. have got to show the
people of Missouri If they expect any
favors at their hands.
Senator Jim Reed. apologist for the
dastardly crime of sinking the Lusi-
tania, the man who condoned the
crimes of the unspeakable Hun, bitter
and implacable foe of Wilson and
every war measure proposed by the
President, got just what he deserv-
ed when the democrats of Missouri
broke all presidents and refused to
accept his nomination as delegate
to the national convention from the
fifth congressional district. His cleo
ton would have been an insult to the
patriotic sentiment of the nation. 1t
would have dishonored the sons of
the state who made the supreme sacri.
flee.
Reed. as the chief speaker against
him declared, hates Wilson. He is
mean and malignant. He has opposed
everything and everybody except the
German vote and liquor interests of
Missouri. His behavior before and
during the war was little less repre-
hensible than that of the melodorous
LaFollette. He hates England and
every principle for which America
waged its war.
The Herald supported certain res.
ervations to the peace treaty. With.
out them It would have been menace
to American independence. 1t regrets
that President Wilson would not yield
to compromise. The league with the
Lodge reservations would have been
vast Improvement over no league
at all. But as between Reed, the
mean. little, malignant hater of the
administration, pro-Gorman, opponent
OF every measure for the protection
of American rights and national hon
or and Woodrow Wilson, semi-social.
list that, he is. dreamer, altruist, hui
manitarian and impractical idealist,
