That a number of Individuals in

ed this morning that only persons of
good moral character, not addicted
to the use of alcohol, or u-rcotlcs.
and actually engaged In the practice
or medicine, are eligible to Issue al
coholic prescriptions. Such a pre
scription must state In 'English the
nuttire of the ailment for which alco

ndress of both physician and patient.
"Tlio Inw is plain in respect to how

Armond said. "It permits a regular
ly licensed physician to administer,
or provldo for tho administration of
alcohol to any patient, whon actually

coiiBtruod, however, to authorize the
Biile of alcohol by any physician, and
tho giving of alcohol when not neces

"I would suggest to local prac

the club should devote ItBelf. There
was a gonornl concensus of opinion
that the gymnasium should provide

boon constructed. This feeling was
prevalent not only among tho young

probable that tho building commit
