Stepping out into the noisy street,

You there, Martha? l have some
news for you"
yes, come along in. What is it?
Judging by your face, it is good
news"
"Only think, my Roger has paint

you.
........ you know, Mother dear,
l owe all to you. 1t was you who
first taught me to see beauty when
you drew my attention to the won
der of flowers and leaves, of skies
and sunsets. Do you remember the
bulbs you gave Lucy and me on our
birthdays and how disappointed we
were over the little brown things
until the leaves began to sprout?
Later on, there was the excitement
of the opening blossoms. Lucy and l
used to guess about the color each
would be. She wanted pink and 1
wanted blue and when they came
out just the reverse we were forced
to be satisfied because she loved her
own and / mine so much that we
could not change. Next birthday,
you gave me box of paints with
the bulb. l shall never forget my
first attempt at a picture for you and
Dad. called it Mothers Window"

and our hyacinths in all their glory.
I remember feeling rather hurt be-
cause l caught you and Dad smiling
at it. Then, studied your faces and
saw you were really pleased and
perhaps proud of it. My picture at

MEDICINAL RUM
OUTPUT TOR|SE
SHARPLY

Relaxation of restrictions on
medicinal liquor, effective today,
as expected to increase consump-
tion sharply.
For several years the annual
consumption of medicinal whiskey
has been 100000 gallons. Esti-
mates on Withdrawals under the
new policy, whereby physicians
may prescribe according to the
requirements on their patients,
ran from 100000 to 100000
gallons annually.
Under the old regulations phy-
kicianS could prescribe only pint
every 10 days. There also were
other restrictions and red tape,
which materially cut down the use
of legal whisky for medicinal pur-
poses.
The physicians may not issue
prescriptions for 80 days supply
of liquor in normal cases and for
longer periods in exceptional cir
cumStances. Where a prescription
Is issued for more than a months
supply, the supervisor of permits
muSt be notified at once by the
physician.
The probable larger consump-
Eion of medicinal spirits may
mean the opening of number Of
additional distilleries. No change
in the ALLEGATION of production
will be made until the industrial
alcohol bureau has a chance to
study consumption figures under
the new system.
