OVER PERMITS
To SELL BEER
Haynes Demands Druggists Get
New Lioenses-Legal
Bureau Dissents.
APPEAL CARRIED TO BLAIR
Ruling of Prohibition Chief Said
to Violate Department Of
Justice Decision.
BY w. ii. ATKINS,
International News soryios.

Medicinal beer has caused a rift
IN the Bureau Of Internal Revenue,
Il was learned last night.
Prohibition Commissioner Haynes
Is standing pat on his ruling that
physicians shall be limited to 100
prescription blanks every three
months, despite the fact that the
recent regulations for the sale OF
beer as a medicine stated specifically
there will be no limitation upon
the number of prescriptions that a
physician may issue.
Haynes Stand Challenged
Legal experts of the Bureau Of In.
ternal Revenue hold that the stand
taken by the Prohibition Commissioner
is in violation of decisions handed
down by the Department of Justice.
and have reported their findings TO
Internal Revenue Commissioner Blair.
Representations were made to the
ternal Revenue Commissioner
that In view of recent decisions by
the Department OF Justice there 10
no clear legal authority for action
of the Prohibition Commissioner in
restricting prescriptions.
The right of druggists TO handle
beer without obtaining additional
permits also was established by the
bureau of legal experts. II was
shown druggists now hold permits
which authorize them to sell alco-
holic liquors for non-beverage or
medicinal purposes. That authority,
it was held. covers whiskey. wine.
beer, ale, or any other liquors de-
sired for sale, above the half Of /
per cent alcoholic content.
Decision Being Ignored.
Despite that decision prohibition
officials are proceeding upon the
theory that druggists will have to
get new permits before handling
beer. The Internal Revenue Bureau.
however, ruled that this is unneces-
sary. except in cases where drug
gists' permits specify that they shall
handle alcohol only for purposes
of compounding medicinal prepara-
tons.

American Democracy.

. Whoever in America desires to bet
ter his fellowmen must act by in
fuencing their intellect. If he wishes
to see no idle man and no poor man
In the land, he must take care that
there shall be no ignorant man. Ignor-
ance is the mother Of superstition
and misery. Men are better in pro-
portion as they are wiser. In what
ever direction we look we see the i'm
provement. The physical man is more
powerful the intellectual man is more
perfect, the, moral man more pure.
The morality of. q nation is the ag-
gregate Of the morality Of the indi-
viduals. "A lazy man is necessarily bad
man i an idle is. necessarily a demon
