EQR THE PEACE COUNCIL—BRUSSELS. The editorials published in this titled “For the Peace Council—Brussels,” have struck a sympathetic chord in th American people and in the sentiments of repre- sentatives of our allies in this country. The idea of bringing the German criminals back to Brussels is hailed as one of t priately just and fitting punishments that could be Its moral effect on the German people would be incalculable.

With great interest I have read your articles on the famous Bone Dry Law of N. Dak. I ad- mire your candid way and your great endeavors to save the lives of our people during this dread- ful epidemic. I deplore five very sad. deaths in my little com- munity, already, and I fear that if we can’t get liquor very soon many more may die. I ordered some liquor for my poor sick people and just now I get the or- der back with the poor consola- tion that they cannot ship aleo- hol in this State. I trust on your cleverness and charity and that you fight it out with some stubborn lawyers who seem to think more of their own ideas HAVE COLOR IN CHEEKS Be Better Looking—Take Olive Tablets your skin is yellow—complexion pallid Ube ndeel anau tense oeiael aibed teste inl your mouth-alazy, no good feeling—you should take Olive Tablets. l—were. 5 after 17.years of study with his patients. inal and some other purposes, into any state whose laws prohibit the ; manufacture and sale of liquors for ; beverage purposes.

Attorney General holds that a deal- ries, liquor 'in reasonable ‘ quantiti on a statement that it is intended for medicinal, sacramental or other legal purpose, will be regarded as having acted in good faith. But if the statement should prove to be untrue, the person making it will be sub- ject to prosecution. He writes:—“The jdepartment does not desire you to make any statement or promulgate any regulations as to how liquors may be shipped for the éxcepted pur- poses.” ‘ Where are we at? The U. S. dry statute was enacted under the power given to congress to regulate inte’- to property passing over the state lines for the purpose of commerce, trade or traffic..

This is as true of a bottle of liquor as of an Jovercoat or a grip. Hence it is that traveling men do commonly take in their grips a bottle of good preventa- tive medicinefi and any person may safely do the same. Any person may :safely take with him a bottle of li- quor and cross the state line, back nd forth, one hundred: times ‘a day, ithout incurring any penalty. But must not be taken for trade and |commerce. There you must draw the line. You must’ always ‘remember that it is safe and proper to be: good, even on the.Sabbath day. If you find ja person who has been! bitten by a {rattle snake, and you can save his ilife. by giving him your bottle, you have a perfect. legal right 'to do it. !Such an act is legal and commenda- \ble, but there must be no sale, trade or barter. : Where are we at?)

Paris, France—This Frenchwoman will never know what a blunder it was to offer a 20-franc tip to a squad of Yanks. They had helped her move a colony of French war orphans from one part of a town ‘to another, car- rying sixty tons of equipment in mo- tor trucks.. Not knowing how to thank the Americans, she thought it would be about right if she would give them a modest tip. Hence the 20 francs bv mail, The next day the tip came back to her and a polite note from Captain George Young,‘ whose marine corps men had done the work. “The men say they are sorry, . but they cangot accept. You see, they did not do the work because they were REPORT OF TH foer 1, 1918, z i ‘Loans and discounts Overdrafts, secured and unsecu! claims, ‘etc. Other real estate .
