"When. Do We Get Our Beer?" An Edwardsvllle resident asked that question of an attorney yesterday, in all seriousness, Illinois has voted to repeal the eighteenth amendment and the state enforcement act and to modify the Volstead act. He'd read the newspaper accounts of the "wet" victory, into effect. He wanted to know when it would go HEAL1MHET ADVICE Dr. Frank McCoy Not even an lawyer can answer the question.

There isn't a man on earth who can. The nearest possible answer is that it will be many years before intoxicating liquor may he manufactured and sold for beverage purpose 1 legally, in the United States. It may not occur during this generation. That statement is made deliberately. It is made in the full Tealization that "wet" sentiment seems to be growing rapidly, at least in the northeast quarter of the nation It is made with accurate knowledge of the gains made bv "weU" both branches of It is rndc with due consideration to the deplorable conditions.

which present enforcement a and bootleg activities have created in and near the cities, along the boideis and the sea court. Here are the facts. ilanuf.ietuie and sale' of i is pio- Inbitul by the Constitution. The Constitution be amended before intoxicating liquor can be legalized. The Constitution can bo amended only by consent of the legislatures of three-fourths of tl.c states.

If the legislatures of only i states uphold Eighteenth A it must stand as at piesent. There has been 710 indication of "drj" sentiment of me "Solid South." Of I the states in "Dixie" only one promise of any shift toward the "wet" side That is Kentucky. It is not probable it would vote "wtt 1 just a possibility.

Many people try to use the will in gaining better health, but I can assure you that you will have much better results you use the powers and desire and expectancy. You ijrill find that in every case where health or some other valuable prize is to be won that these are much more powerful agents than will power in bringing about the object you are trying to accomplish. Jesus, one of the master healers, expressed the value of expectancy when He said, "Thy faith hath made thee whole." He meant that the patient waa healed because he expected to be. The same thought is brought out by Sir William Osier when he said that it is necessary to arouso "the feeling buoyant expectancy which is the real curative agent." Expectancy, when applied to health, means that you expect to get well.

When applied to- digestion it means that you expect your meals to agree with you, Many people get into the habit of exp acting gas and digestive troubles after meals. This habit is so strong that they actually look for such disorders to show themselves, and you will find that if you look for gas and a burning sensation in your stomach you will probably be able to find them. Expectancy works, both ways. Train yourself to expect health. Desire is another powerful force which you may use to help yourself to more abundant health.

Without desire, no one would ever win anything. Think how much easier it is to do something which you greatly desire to do than something which you need to use your will for. If you will watch your own actions you will see that one of them springs from some desire. If rroa'ly desire to be well, it will become much easier for you to do the things which build health. All of the great deeds of history have been accomplished because someone was consumed with an overpowering desire.

Great fortunes are nade because men desire to escape poverty or WI.IH to ghe luxury to someone they Une. You mus-t dc-siro health i mind and body. Dwell on this desire. Think how splendid it is to a a strong, well bodv. Think of the pleasant thin.es which you could do with more vitality.

You could enjoy an inspiring hike into the mountains. You could s-im across the pool i swift, strong strokes. With more win more success If had a little more energy 3011 could go after many of the things you want for jourself or your loved ones. Health is a splendid thing to desire In itself and with it you may win many of the things in life which arc desirable on their own account. Imagine yourself Get a good mental picture of just how are toing to look when you have perfect health; see those rosy cheeks, see your eyes Hashing with life and vigor, sep your body rightly formed and expressing health and beauty.

Local experts are thoroughly convinced that Washington is now the capital of American society. They point to the unprecedented number of debutantes parading to Washington this season for coming out parties and the indubitable fact that nowhere else is there such a congregation of high federal officials, distinguished diplomats and private citizens of wealth. The White House itself has abandoned the old modest custom of having hut nine formal functions a year. There will be 12 White, House receptions and dinners in December, January and February dinners for the cabinet, the vice president, the chief justice and the supreme court, the diplomats and the speaker of the House and receptions for diplomats, judges. senators, representatives, the army and navy, the officials of the treasury post office, inteiior.

High government officials who deplore results of this yeai's elections are expected to try to forget their sorrows by entering more determinedly than ever into the so-called social whlil. This is a lame duck year, with nearly a. score of senatou and many congressmen slated to leave Congress on March 4. Some of these will have to have their last fling and some will be unusually active socially to promote personal campaigns for good federal or private jobs.

Diplomat's will put on a good series of shows. Even the Latin-Araeilcans, despite the American revolutions, are expected to be more active than usual. This is the first season in a number of years that nearly all those countries have had full diplomatic. representation here, tlio-most conspicuous reinforcement being made by the new Argentine ambassador.

When the Nobel piize commlttd announced yesterday that the autho of "Main Street," "Babbitt," "Ar rowsmith," "Elmer Gantry," "Dods worth," and other novels had beet honored, it was recalled that Lewis refused the Pulitzer prize in 1921 for "Arrowsmith." But at an interview at his publish ers Lewis explained why he plannei to accept the Nobel and vrha ho proposed to do with the that will go to him. "The reason I turned down the Pulitzer award and will accept (He Nobel prize lies in tho enormous difference between the two," he said, "The Nobel prize Is an Internationa award with no strings attached. "It is awarded on the basis cf excellence of work, for 'the most distinguished work of an idealistic That means it shall not be given for work that la commercial and machine-like, reaching vast pop ularity. "The Pulitzer prize is for the American novel published during the year which 'shall best present the wholesome atmosphere of American life and the highest standard American manners and manhood.

Vain it is to criticize Color of the hair or eyes. Shape of mouth or nose or chin Or the body stout or thin. If he love her he can see Beauty lost to you or me. If she love him she can find Splendor of a deeper kind. Xouo is wise enough to know Where the choice of love will go, Speak empty purse today If she love him she will say He has courage, he has skill, And a purse he'll some day fill.

If he love her, he can shake Any argument you make. Love is blind, but blinder far Interfeiing people are, Seeing only wealth or place, Family, fair or ugly face And ex-pecting her or him To a pattern lave to trim, Just as if love's every mood Should be business-like and shrewd. Vain it is to raise the voice 'Gainst the man's or maiden's choice. If sLe love him she'll believe Him and think that you deceive. If he love her, he Chainis to which the world is blind.

All that shrewder mortals say Cannot frighten love away. JEWISH WIDOWS WIG KEMOVAL FINDS Ol'l'OSITIOX Paris, Nov. 7--Compulsory wig removal to prove Jewish ar3 really orthodox, winch is one of the most embarr.vsmg duties of American consular officers abroad, may be ended in sucgested world cougiess of Rabbis. The suggestion is made by Frank S. Goldman, ialmudic scholar, who strongly condemns the strict observance of Cluilitza for widowed Jewish women ho wish (o remarry.

According to the Jewish law and Talmud, a widow who wishes to remarry must first offer herself to her late husband's brother She must kneel before him and if he wishes to remarry her, he laises her from the ground. If not, he spits iu her face or goes through the motion of such refusal. This is the Chalilza. Because of the American quota law Jewish women widowed abroad whose brothcis-in-law icsid" in the 1'nited States find it hard to comply with, requirement. Vpon the request if several American Rabbis, eongressnai: Hamilton Fish, of New York, wrote to all American consulates tsking that special visa facilities be iccorded to Jewish widows.

The question was immediately rais- 'd, however, as to how the consuls yore to determine whether the widow wa.i really fulfilling the Jrwis'u cus- or attempting to cvude the American quota. As all orthodox Jewish women must shave off their hair and vcar a wig from the day of their Damage, it was suggested that the consuls prove the candidate's strict adherence by asking her to remove ior wig. If she did there would be 10 question of not granting the visa. Goldman, who lives iu Paris, said lut such practice was disgraceful and I was np to the Jews themselves to rrange another method of perform- ns'lho Chalitza, OFFICE CAT A woman elbowed her way through the crowd, jabbing first one person and then another.

7--The final decision as to whether an Army-Navy football game could be arranged for fall apparently rented today with- the War Department and West Point officials. Secretary of Navy Adams has announced his willingness to have the navy play a post-season game for the benefit of the unemployed. It has been learned that the tour- year-old controversy between the Service institutions practically has been settled so that a game in 1931 may be expected. But objections from army sources to a game this year may result in the navys meeting some other team in a charity 25 Years Ago Attacks Conference, Moscow, Nov. 7 The "sabotage OL disarmament" was attacked by the fticial Soviet organ Izvestin today, which meeting of tho prep- ratory disarmaw--'t commission 'the scandalous finale of the disarmament comedy."
