Repre scntative Meeker'* discourse on the subject In the House of Representa tive* Included the presentation ?of a list of so-called patent medleue* with tin alcoholic conUm** ranging froin a tenth ?f a |?er rent all t^e way up to 1?7 jH-r rent. A1?ont the only non-alco hoilr feature of the latter "medicine" Ik the cork and the lal>cl. When Mr. Meeker reached that point In tils speech one congressman arose and eagerly asked him the name of it and where it could he found. The St. I.<tiiis man, who udvocatrs a heer diet for war time, also made the rnltnre did not have a list of these so called medicines with Hie barroom flavor, and tluit when be rallrd their for a list "nndrr the fotni and drug art" lie was told there was no such list jn existence. "They adinittrd they had 110 such llsti" said Representative Meeker, "and I furnished them the first list they ever had." The Merker list i^f heavily charged alcoholic nn-feot medicine*, hitters, liniments^. soothing tsyrups -uuduudi rated cocktails. high balls. and rlckeys rontains the names of 7-ltl medicines. Among theme are 'old family remedies' with enough alcohol to pickle aver :iirr family at one siting.

Hut their names sound like family remedies f->r the croup or hilllousness. Representative Meeker said that putting the distilleries out of business and exempting the patent medicine man would increase the worth of the patent medicine capital stock and in crease the use of soeallcd patent medi cines." He produced an advertisement for a certain medicine, manufactured' in Michigan.

The Charlotte Observer in a recent issue gives its people a talk on the virtue of strict punctuality. In some sections of this country men make it a i'ule to keep engagements?right on the minute'?not a few minutes after. Hut it is pot. so in this section and the observer well says: "What right has, one individual to >leal the time of another? Failure to meet an appointment promptly, with out just cause, is hot only unjustifi able. but utmost criminal, and should hot be tolerated. Those in authority should take a nrm stand in the mat ter of opening a meeting or a pro gram on time, anil let the late-comer suffer the consequences. "Not only is the late arrival in fringing on the time and patience of those who are conscientious enough to Im> prompt, but is sometimes a pos itive nuisance at entertainments or public gatherings where their tardiness causes a disturbance throughout the audience." At a meeting of the Audobon so ciety of South Carolina held Wednes day at the Jefferson hotel.
