THAT MEDICINAL. BEER.

, Two very potent bits of opposition to
the general use of beer and wine as med
icines have developed in the last few
days. Mr.. Volstead of mixed memory,
blessed or unblessed, according to the
thirst of the commentator, has introduced
in the house of representatives a bill pro-
viding for an amendment to the prohibi-
.tion law. This bill specifically forbids
the use of beer as medicine, and restricts
the use of wine for similar purposes. If
the measure carries. former Attorney
General Palmer's ruling viii be void.
The other opposing element is the
druggists of the United States who
through their associations, national and
local, are condemning the classification
of beer as medicine, and expressing their
determination not to carry it even
though governmental leniency should per-
nit. They call attention to the fact
that malt liquors have never been listed
in the United States Pharmacopeia, as
official remedies.
This is a depressing outlook for the
hosts who are just sick for a glass OF
beer and hoped soon to find the remedy at
every soda fountain

were taken, most of the tragic accidents
would be avoided.
But why have revolvers around the
house ut all? The conventional plea that
they are needed for defense against
burglars" hardly holds water. in view
of the fact that they kill far more limo
cent people than they do burglars, and
that the average citizen never sees a
burglar in his. lifetime. If a man or
woman insists, however, on keeping a re-
volver for a greater sense of security,
the best plan is to compromise by omit
ting the cartridges. An empty revolver
is usually as effective for self-protection
as a loaded one. without its dangers.
Even the burglar, if he is n genuine pro-
fessional, is likely to carry his gun
empty.

INDIAN NAMES.

There appears to be a good deal more
in American Indian names than most
of the white Inhabitants this land
have thought. An expert in Indian lore
and language is out to secure Justice to
the Redskins by promoting accurate
TRANSACTIONS of their names.
There is the Sioux chicftain whose
name, Rain-in-the-face, has long been IA
miliar to schoolchildren and adults. The
name never seemed to mean much. The
correct translation, says the expert. is
With-his-face- to-the-storm. How much
more of hardihood and determination the
true meaning holds.
Another Sioux chieftain, Young-man-
afraid-of- his-horse. has long suffered mis-
understanding of his character because of
that too brief translation of his
Indian name. The full meaning
really is Young man afraid -of-whose-
horse-the-enemy-is. At once, upon pro-
nouncement of his name, we picture him
the courageous warrior mounted on an
equally fearless tseed, striking terror to
the heart Of his enemy.
The legends and languages of the
American Indians are packed full OF
meaning and interest to anyone who cares
to know them The citizen of the United
States does not need to turn to remote
lands and the little-known peoples OF
strange islands to find Il wealth of mean.

etical names. The American Indian here
