July 29.?There seems to he much misunderstanding of the terms of the Act of 190? "to probli.lt the manufacture, sale, etc., of alco laollc liquors, etc.. and to provide pen? alties for violation thereof." For In? stance. Dispensary Auditor West was aaked a few days ago whether or not whiskey could be sold by the dispen? sers during the closed period on the prescription of a physician. Of ?ourse. the auditor said that this would not be done. While the dis? pensaries ere cloeed. they must be tihut down "good and tight." This Is He be a period of absolute prohibition, tea far as the county dispensaries are Very probably the man who asked this question was thinking of the pro? visions of the A jt with reference to the sale of whiskey In drug stores up ?esi the written request of a physician. Of course, this has nothing whatever to do with the closed period of the gsspn near lea, but merely modifies the Prohibition Act for enforcement In the counties which are now dry or saay become dry after the August ?lection Section 2 of this Act provides that wholesale druggists may lawfully sell ha wholesale quantities to retail drug? gists, to public or charitable hospitals ew to medical or pharmaceutical col? leges, and In no other way, pure al? cohol for msdlcal purposes only, or grain alcohol to be used by chemists er bacteriologists actually engaged In ?dentine work, and for such purposes Section t provides that sny retail durggist msy sell pure alcohol for ?nodical purposes, and wine to be ataed for sacrsmentsl or religious pur? poses only.

Don't ItOlatO yourself. Don't b? I man in isolation. 1! you are ein? teilt with taking yourself off to your mIi. get a different move on. yourself. Don t assooli te with yourself so much, (live the community tome ohance to recognise you si b fine fellow and n tiv4- ami valuable oltlsen. Come out of your h de and gvt in tOUOh with the community, it will do you good and do the community good. Many a good citizen and man of ?plendld business parts, good judg? ment and horse sense actually shuts himself up at home where the hustlers and the boomers would like to have his elbow touch. Some mighty good men are isolated men. They isolat" themselves. They oughtn't to do it. They ought to come out in the open and get in the procession. See here what the Portland, Oregonian says of "Man in Isolation": "It is not an easy thing for a man to seperate himself from the thought and activity of purpose of the com? munity in which he lives and to pur? sue an isolated, discontented and sel? fish part. He can't do it, indeed; and if he trjes it he will^bnly reduce himself to a cipher or stumbling block. The community will get on somehow, for it must; but if it has many members of this kind it will be dull, heavy and unprogressive. Man in isolation is of little consequence, next to nothing. His association with others, the inspi? ration he receives from others, draws out his own powers. 'The Slnte,' to this day, as Plato conceived it, re? mains 'a product of mind.' Out of the action and interaction of currents of mind, affected and even directed by variant views or opinions, comes the whole progress of man, of so? ciety, of the human race. We want what Burke described as 'that ac? tion and counteraction, which in the natural and political world, from the reciprocal struggle of discordant powers, draws out the harmony of the universe.* The most isolated man cannot separate himself from the sit? uation he lives 'in. If such isolation were general, or could be general, it would be the negation of civilization." If you are an isolated Wilmington man, the above ought to make you quit the seclusion of your haunts. Come down town and get in the push. Encourage somebody else and get en? couragement yourself. Enthuse some? body and let somebody enthuse you. Olve your city a chance at your abili? ty as a booster. One man can't push a city but a whole lot of men can. The Star hopes every Wilmington man will get In the push and join that Greater Wilmington Club. It is trying to do something. Don't let it try without your assistance. You have no Idea how one man can encourage another. The Star has In mind a certain live citizen who is a source of inspiration whfn it comes to talking about that 30-foot channel and a greater port of Wilmington. He agitates it. and as Congressman God? win declares, "It Is a matter that can? not be agitated too much." Mr. Jas. H. Chadbourn agitates and both he and Mr. Godwin arer ight. Roth have greatly encouraged The Star In Its agitation of the subject and nothing th?.t is said on the subject escapes then* observation. When a harbor ?md river article appears in the Star, the familiar countenance of Mr. Chadbourn shows up in the office, for he com*?s to commend it and send away some pa j.era where they will do the most good. He furnishes in? formation to help along the agitation and he won't let you forget It. He knows that It takes more than one to push a good thing along. It is a hob? by with him but every Wilmingtonlan ought to get the hobby habit. he thing ought to be unanimous. Congressman Godwin takes time to write from Washington 'to The Star to say: "I have the support and In? fluence of the entire North Carolina delegation and of many others in be? half of this thirty-foot project, and I feel satisfied that Its accomplishment is assured." With powerful influences like that back of Wilmington's S0-foot project, and the people of Wilmington back of all the able workers and men in a position to help the good cause, the port will get what it asks for. Wilmington needs thirty feet of navigable water from her wharves to the high sea. Det all the Isolated men come out and get In the swim. ?Take Kodol at the limes wh n you feel w hat you have eaten Is not di? gesting.

Mrs. S. D. Bowen, of Wayne, w.

It will cure you. W. W. Slbert. The \V<>cs of "Mrs. lit i mate Con? sumer. "Xo quantity Of oratory."s says a Washington dispatch, "can explain away tin- conditions that face the Wife of the ultimate consumer. A woman going to market on July l this year had to pay ?'?2 1-2 cents more for a .given lot of commodities than she was compelled to pay on .Tulv 1. 1908. With the- exception 01' July 1. 1907, the prices now recorded are the highest ever set down for any corresponding date." The Items about which the "ulti? mate consumer" is most concerned re foor, clothing and shelter. The men ho make tariff bills have a cynical ontempt for the intelligence of the ublic. If, one of them is quoted as saying, good times prevail next fall and everybody is at work and wages eep up. rv will not matter what kind of a tariff bill is passed. The people have poor memories, it is said. But. it may be suggested, the people have been known to remember with telling effect. When the McKinly act was passed in 1890 and prices went soar? ing tha people, two years later, elect d a Democratic president and con? gress as a reminder to the Republican party that there is a limit to the tax? ation which the consumer will stand without protest. It is possible that the wife of the ultimate consumer will be an impor? tant factor in the congressional elec? tion next year, and her resentment may not be allayed when the presi? dential election comes around in 1912. She has no vote, but she has influence. She holds the purse strings of the male ultimate consumer, and as the purchasing power of her household funds decreases she will have a convicing agrr.ment against the policy and the party of excessive protection. The man may be prone to forget, but no thrifty woman is likely to have a lapse of memory when she knows that the necessaries of life cost a great deal more than she used to pay for them, and that her husband's wages do not begin to go as far as they used to in providing food, shoes and clothing for the fam nr. "Mrs. Ultimate Consumer," as she is dubbed by a facetious contempor? ary, is not a foe to be despised when she takes to the warpath. The women, it is said, were a powerful factor In bringing about the defeat of the Re? publican party in 1892. A senator from Oklahoma has suggested re? cently that the result of the next elec? tion may be determined at the coun? ters of the retail stores of the country But the cynic who has not faith in the tenacity of memory of the con? sumer, asserts contemptuously that if "there is a close brush for the base? ball championship a lot of people will forget there ever has been an extra session of congress for the revision of the tariff." IfNprices continue to soar, it is a safe prediction that "Mrs. Ultimate Consumer" will not be among the forgetful ones.?Baltimore Sun. The Crime of Idleness. Idleness means trouble for any one.
