MEDICINAL BEER is
ACADEMIC THEORY
Brewers, Physicians, Druggists Assume
WatchfuI Waiting Policy Until
New Ruling Is Made.

WASHINGTON, March 2S.-Until
some brewery proceeds to brew quantity
of beer some druggist lays it in stock
and some physician writes prescription
for il. the use of beer as medicine Is likely
to remain an academic theory.
Two months have elapsed since the
treasury department asked the department
of Justice for a ruling on the legality of
the prescribing of beer. Atty. Gen.
Palmer came back with his famous decl-
sion, stating not only that the 18th amend
ment AUTHORIZED the beer prescriptions,
but that there was no legal power resi-
dent in the prohibition enforcement bu-
reau to limit either the number of pre-
scriptions or the amount that could be
prescribed. Yet not minlm of beer has
been passed over a pharmacists counter.
The brewers, doctors and druggists are
waiting for the formulation of regulations.
Internal Revenue Commissioner Williams,
eXpecting daily that he will be released
from his office. declines to hamper his sue
cessor by issuing regulations. The sue
eessOr, if he takes his cue from the Anti
Saloon league will be in no hurry to say
how, when and where beer is to be pro
cured.
Probably the idea is to wait until con-
gress is in session and then endeavOr, by
some amendment to the VolStead act, to
escape the logical result of Mr.. Palmer's
decision. s.. u
As far as Attorney General Daugherty
is concerned the beer ruling will stand
unless some one of the federal depart
ments makes a specific request that it be
reviewed. .,Ir. Daugherty has not re
ceived any such request, it was stated at
the department of justice today.

House Advances Money Bill.
Without enough interest to bring forth
more than half-hearted vote on the ques-

Whereas there is a deep and wide

Therefore, be it resolved by the sem

to APPOINT on or before June /. 1921, a
committee of two judicious citizens who
shall make a study of the entire system

the facts to them seem to warrant as to

Mr.. BcaUprC Wrole letter to the friend
who had given him the Iiniment in which
he said: Il feel very grateful to you for
having directed my attention to that justly
celebrated liniment called Mysterious Pain
Ease. The story of its origin was very in
teresting, how the Scotch doctor used this
Hniment, and the people who have bene-
fitted by it, thinking there was something
mysterious about it came to know it by
shat name Mysterious | don't wonder.
The way it takes the pain out certainly
seems mysterious. | never heard of any
thing like it. My ankle was so sore and
painful that ! could scarcely step ON it
and could not do my regular days work,
which, as you know, requires constant
foot work in using the brake and clutch
pedals of automobiles. When | first ap-
piled the liniment my ankle was so painful
l could scarcely bear the slightest pressure
upon it. [ was hardly able to limp
around, yet, within 20 minutes the pain
was gone, and / was able to drive car
more than 100 miles that day. Soon the
swelling went down, and / was as well
as ever. / cannot recommend it too
highly. Since using it I have talked with
number of people about it in this section
and | find the liniment is quite well known
and people are using it for the relief of
pain caused by sprains, rheumatism. and
also headaches. Mysterious Pain Ease is
certainly a blessing to those who suffer
any pain and | am very grateful to you
for having told me about it."
The Mysterious Pain Ease mentioned
IN Mr.. Beaupre's letter is sold by most
up-tO-date dealers and any dealer can pro-
cure it from his jObber.-Adv.

The drought in this section of Kan

As result OF the rainmakers offers
to give Kansas downright good

could be placed in such a proposition

is a scientific possibility.
