There are two ways of looking at
everything. Even the horrors Of war
become sanctified and ennobled by the
heroism and self-sacrif1ce of our men.
A Red Cross hospital ward was, as
have known it, one of the serenest, al
most one of the happiest places on
earth, writes Agnes Egerton in Lon
don. There was such sweet patience,
nay, such genuine cheerfulness on the
part Of the wounded, and such devo-
tion and love on the part of the
nurses! It would be a tragic and
piteous thing if a world at peace were
to do away with beauty which a world
in conflict yet retained. What is wrong
with US now is that we have lost our
grip of the real meaning Of life. A
certain gross materialism seems to
have laid hold of the minds Of many.
Now materialism is at once the ugl1est
and the saddest form of ethics that it
is possible to imagine. 1t is the mark
Of the beast; it is the breath Of the
"spirit that ever denies''- according
to Goethe's wonderful definition Of
Mephistopheles.

RULING / ON BEER / |: | I. due.
Disposition Of Question Of Whether 1t
May Be Prescribed for Medicinal r.
Neurposes VIII Come Up for
Early Consideration.

Washington-Regulations further re.
str1oting the distribution of liquor
p now confined to manufacturers and
wholesale druggists-haveb been drawn
up and await the approval of the new
administration.
The regulations, as drafted by Pro.
hibition officials, would limit manufac.
turers to the sale of their own pro.
ducts and forbid them to dispose of
other manufactures containing alcohol.
Such step, in the opinion of prohibi-
tion officials, would practically limit
the distribution of liquor to wholesale
druggists.
Early this week hearing on the
matter is to be held by the Internal
Revenue bureau.
Ruling Due on Prescriptions.
Disposition OF the question of
whether beer may be prescribed for
medicinal purposes by physicians, pro-
hibition officials said, will come up for
: early consideration by the new ad-
ministration. An opinion is under
stood to have been prepared for the
/ Treasury by the Department of JUS
t1ce which would permit the use of
malt liquors for medicinal purposes
similarly with wine or vinous liquors
as contrasted with the restrictions of
the prohibition act on whisky on
'spirituous liquors.
Use Of beer is opposed, however, by
the prohibition enforcement authori-
ties who maintain that by permitting
its manufacture for medicinal pur-
poses 20 already perplexing problem
Of handling the breweries would be
mace r:;Te difficult.
The ;,.-..ude Of the new administra-
ticn towards breweries is awaited with
Interest by the present enforcement
officials in view of the steady cam
paign Commissioner Kramer has been
wag1ng in various sections of the
country against the manufacture of
beer containing more than the legal
amount Of alcohol and the numerous
seizures of property which have been
made by the government in the past
few months.
Shipping Men Interested.
Another question for the new heads
Of the department to decide is the
matter of transport Of liquor via this
country when shipped from one coun-
try to another. In connection with
the shipping angle to the prohibition
question some prohibition officials
have suggested the possibility of new
policy regarding liquor on American
ships. Under the present law as de-
fined by the Department of Justice
prohibition follows American ships be-
yond the three mile limit and the sale
OF intoxicants on them is prohibited.
Strong protest against this inter-
probation however, has been made by
shipping interests, and Chairman Ben
son of the Shipping board has in
formed the House that such a policy
is injurious to the American mer-
chant marine For these reasons, Of
f1cials asserted, the new administra-
tion will probably give careful con-
sideration to the matter of divorcing
liquor from ships.

CROPS j OF s2o. 4 !.

=s#E The secretary Of agriculture figures
the crops Of the year 1920 at $13. 300, =
100000, and the animal products at
$s,757, 600 600. This makes q grand
total Of more than twenty-five billion
dollars. He estimates that the price
slump has caused a loss ii value Of
about $4,000, 100000. in the crops, and
$500, 100000 in the animal products as
compared with last year-or shrink
age Of about Is per cent. It must seem
to the man with live stock or grain
to sell that the shrinkage is much
greater than that, though it should be
taken into consideration that the pro-
duction of 1920 was much larger than
that of 1919, in volume, and that,
therefore, the real shrinkage in value
Is greater than 15 per cent. Taken at
its worst, however, the twenty-five bill
lion dollars worth Of farm stuff for
the year represents almost boundless
wealth in the aggregate. No matter
how much resentment we feel at fall
ing prices and loss Of profits, our
business Of farming still remains the
country's main business, says Farm
Life. And how much better it is to
have our national granaries full of
cheap products than it would be to

While an individual apparently may
do a number Of things at once, psy.
biologists agree that the mind can con.
tain only one thought at a time.
Thoughts, however, as we all know,
can change with lightning-like rapid
ity. If then, we fill the mind by con-
scious effort with positive, optimistic
good thoughts, there is no room for
negative, pessimistic, detrimental
thoughts. LAS a man thinketh in his
heart, so is he." More and more is
this age-old truth impressing itself
upon the modern, analytical mind.
This is the age of triumph of per-
sonal efficiency. Right thinking Is
having it's day. For proof, study the
leaders in your community.

A st. Louis physician informs the
American Child Hygiene association
that practically all persons are infect
ed with tuberculosis germs early in
life. Now the great majority of the
people, without doubt, enjoy them
selves nightly and apparently have
nothing the matter with them, al
though this is not, perhaps, the con-
cluslon worked out by the doctor
mentioned. It is difficult to see how
any good purpose can be served by
alarming practically all" the people
over the alleged presence of such
germs, when the latter, if they are
present at all, have done nothing, so
far as the ordinary person can dis
cover to interfere with anybodys
happiness, says Christian Science
Monitor. This seems to be another
instance in which, in the opinion of
the diagnostician, the majority of the
people are dangerously we'll.

There are undoubtedly acres upon
acres of land in the eastern part Of
the United States, too poor for either
garden or pasture purposes, which
would readily produce white pine
trees. The professor Of forestry at
the Massachusetts, Agricultural COL
lege calls attention to the price Of $50
to $35 a thousand feet for which pine
logs are selling on the stump, and says
that pine stumpage will be as valua-
BILE for the next 80 or 40 years as it
is today. His advice to farmers who
own large areas of unimproved lands,
to plant them with white pine, with a
certainty Of profitable sale, would seem
to be worthy Of consideration.

HOW DO YOU SAY IT?

Common Errors in English and
How to Avoid Them
an" AND "INTO."

THE distinction between the uses
i Of these two words, "in" and
~ '"into," can be expressed best by CIV
ing examples of proper and improper
usage. Therefore, compare the two
sentences which follow: "The man
walked in the house, and 1.-THE man
walked into the house." In the first
case the action was confined entirely
to the house; that is, the man was
in the house, and he walked therein.
But in the second case, the man was
outside the house, and he entered it.
"In" shows state Of being, or position ;
Into" denotes action, movement, ten
dency or direction.
Do not say: II fell in the water"
but say, II fell into the water" Fol-
lowing Is a case in which the two
words are used correctly In one SEN
tence: II threw the stone into the
house, and it lies in the room.'
