Health and strength for the most part

Illinois force finished their fight
within the year. One, Theodore

illness in which he showed a strong
hold upon God, and to the very laak

has absorbed seven years OF his life.
The other Rev. !. F. Pence, wlo
came to an untimeTy death while in
the very noon time OF his life as a
result OF an accident while doing
work in Central Illinois for our or
ganization. The face of Dr. James
NJ. Phelps, one seldom missed, is not
seen in this meeting today. Reso-

the semi-annual meeting Among

April 80, 1921, marks the close of
twenty-three years OF Anti-Saloon
League work in Illinois and twenty
eight years in the nation. Through
out these years God has wrought
wonderfully. Much OF the work done
has been seed-ti time work but the last
few years and particularly the last
year has been more than formerly a
harvest time. The results have
proven to be a verihcation of the sa-
cred truth that "He that goeth forth
and weepeth bearing precious seed
shall doubtless return again rejoicing
bringing in the sheaves.'
In this connection we wish TO ex-
press our definite assurance that this

more than a dozen years ago.
He continued with the Anti-Saloon
League OF Illinois until 1906, when he
went to New Jersey and became edi
tor OF the New Jersey Issue, Anti

cation at the University of Michigan

The Ohio Senate by vote of 81
to passed bill prohibiting the pre-
seription OF beer as a medicine This
bill has the approval OF the doctors
and druggists OF Ohio. The bill is
expected to pass the House by large
majority.
Beer is not recognized as a medi
cine in the states which have state
Prohibition enforcement laws. In
the remaining states legislation for
bidding beer will doubtless be in
cluded in state enforcement laws.

Michigan recently ruled that beer
can not be made and sold as medi-

Medicinal Beer Demand Backed By
Liquor Interests Exclusively
The apparent demand for medicinal
beer comes from the organized, for
merly legalized, liquor interests. The

land there is no better posted man
at the national capitaD that brought
about the Palmer ruling on beer
There is no doubt about it. :.
And so it was that Attorney-General
Palmer issued swan song and de-
clared that under the Noistead law
the people could have beer as a med
icine, and there you arc And so it is
that the petitions SO freely circulated
by the Veterans of Liberty was the
center wedge that split open the
Prohibition log"
That the beer interests view the
manufacture and sale OF medicinal
beer not from the standpoint OF IT'S
use assa medicine but in relation to
the possibility of restoring the use of
beer legally as a beverage, is apparent
in a letter sent to Acknowledgement
Daugherty by the organization for
merly known as the Liquor Dealers
Association of Illinois. A paragraph
from this letter reads as follows;

of the ethics OF the proposition of the

Druggists Do Not Want to Handl,
Beer

Beer
The Proprietary Association, COM
posed OF 220 manufacturers OF propri
etary medicines throughout the
United States, on March p went on
record opposing the sale OF beer by
drug stores. Frank Blair. president
OF the Association declared that. "In
Common with the entire drug industry
we are opposed to the sale OF beer
through the channels of the drug
trade The association represents
manufacturers OF 80 per cent OF the
proprietary medicines OH the market.
We are not alone in this but prac-
tically all of the reputable drug stores
and wholesalers of drugs are with us
in opposing the Palmer ruling"
Only p per cent of the druggists
of the United States have permits to
sell Intoxicating liquor, which may
be accepted as an indication that they
do not hold whisky in high repute for
its medicinal value.
The druggists of the nation are,
therefore, extremely unlikely to en-
dorse beer as medicine by dispens-
ing it on prescriptions.
President Ambrose Hunsberger OF
the Retail Druggists Association OF
Philadelphia, says: "It is positively
ridiculous to predict that beer will be
sold at soda fountains as indicated by
the former Attorney-General Palmer.
Whisky and beer should not be cam
oufaged under the title medicine and
then be distributed by underhanded
methods to the public under the guise
of remedies for illness"
State and National Laws Do Not
Recognize Beer as Medicine
The Illinois bill forbidding beer as
a medicine is in harmony with pres
ent laws and pending bills both fed
eral and state.
Although the Palmer ruling decides
that the Volstead Act does not forbid
the prescribing of beer and does not
limit the quantity that may be pre-
scribed there is little doubt that beer
was not considered a medicine by
Congress when this bill was passed.
Otherwise it is ridiculous to suppose
that no limitation on the quantity Of
beer would have been made and that
no regulations would have been pro-
vided for the manufacture of "me-
dicinal' beer.
On April rs Chairman Nolstead of
the House Judiciary Committee in
troduced bill in Congress prohibit
ing beer. Referring to this bill Chair
man Volstead said, "The bill prohib-
its doctors from prescribing beer.
1t is idle to argue that there is any
real necessity for beer as medicine.

cars used by attendance officers he

reported by Seattle paper as follows
MIR. Fleming said In his communica-
ton of protest that as Dodge Brothers
ears are used exclusively by the depart.
ment. any Dodge Brothers car Is in
stantly the object of suspicion on the

U. S. CHALLENGES JAPAN

Either the United States or Japan
must recede from the position II
has taken and which has resulted in
zap be internationalized and fiat
Japaneses refusal to comply.
The moot question Is whether or not
the United States has lost her share
Of the spolls of war through failure
to enter the league Of nations. The
former administration held that the
United States still participates in the
settlements glowing out Of the war
and effeciing the disposal Of former
German colonies; the new administra-
tion has taken the same ground with
the resulting deadlock. The island In
question was allocated TO Japan by the
supreme council of the league.
The growing tension over the quest
ion was not relieved, but rather aggre-
yated by the interchange OF views that
tend toward an acrimonious controver-
sy. Japan has already taken cogni-
zance Of the situation In making GER
tain military dispositions and the un-
easy feeling on both sides Of the Pacif-
ic Is growing rather than abating.
The disputed bit Of dry land in the
ocean has no practical value beyond
being an important station ON the line
Of Pacific cable communication. IL is
much desired by Japan in order to
make more secure her monopoly In
wire communication The United
States asks only that the island be
made n free landing place for the ca
bles OF all nations.
