St.. 192U. at the Pott Office at Otta wa, Ill under the Act of Oct I, 1917. WEDNESDAY, ARE ILLINOIS RESIDENTS INVALIDS? Ittt effect "i Secretarj Mellon's announcement that, physicians would btfallowed to prescribe and druggists t sell beer and wine in practically unlimited quantities was, -t one ( hicago paper puts it, that, "They (locked t.. lrnj- stores and doctors, and arrangements were being made t declare an open season on hops.' And here in Ottawa ilit' announcement was grcated with joy by :i great many able-bodied people, who would resent being put in the invalid class under ordinary circumstances. rguments were rife as to whether or not Attorney General Brundage's decision would have any weight, his announcement being in substance that, "The (Treasury depart ment rules, permitting the prescribing oi wine ant beer iy physicians, will have no effect in Illinois, 1 iving to the search and seizure act, and the 'bone dry' law passed by the 'a-t general assembly." Under the latter law the enforcement of the state dry law was placed in ln hands. "Doctors or pharmacists can lie fined and imprisoned tori prescribing or selling wine or beer under the law," says Attorney ( ieneral Brundage. The idea "i some thai Brundage's announcement wi uld have no weight got an awful i"1t when Levy Mayer, t counsel for lite "wvi" forces, said in an interview yesterday thai there is no doubt as t the efticacy of the Illinois statute, w hich, he admitted, could u t be superseded In this case by any federal regulation. He offered a ray of hope, however, when he added that there is a serious doubt ns in the validity of the law wherein it attempt- to arbitrarily forbid a doctor to prescribe for a patienl believes will be beneficial to him.

Postmaster 'ieneral I lavs doesn't propose to allow the Ihimih uf his department to la.n through neglect of duty by the postmasters of the country. An order was issued from KIs department la-t month amending previous regulations w hich required that post- masters not only snail not absent themselves tur a period exceeding ooerations Sorm ol th? steels eouil two days without w ritten consent of the post office department, but raent, motor... sugars and merchai also that those at "offices of the lir-t.

The amendment promulgated by the postmaster general is another mark to his credit.
