CAN’T LIMIT DOCTORS IN USE OF WHISKY Federal Jurist Says Volstead Pro visions Are Invalid.—Doctor is the Judge. Helena. Mont., July 6.—Congress once having said "that alcohol cun he need for medk-miil purposes, cannot tiff# dictate to a physician as to the number of whisky prescriptions he shall write or the quantity he shall prescribe, federal Judge George M. Bourquin held today. In his decision, which said part pf the prohibition law was unconstitution al, Judge Bourquin invalidated prose cution of Dr. J. B. Freund, of Butte, who it was charged, issued more than 100 prescriptions within a 90-da.v period and prescribed more than 1-2 pint of alcohol to one patient iu ten days. The decision, in substance, he’d tlint Congress cannot substitute its judg ment for that of the physician, ruling similarly to federal Judge Knox of New York, who on . May 0 lust granted an order restraining prohibition authorities from interfering with the practice of Dr. Samuel W. I-ambert with respect to the nmouut of whisky which might be pre scribed. to one patient. Judge Broquin’H ruling however, goes further and holds that the portion of the Volstead net which seeks to limit the number of prescriptions is invalid, ns well as that portion limiting the quanti ty prescribed. The iinvalid section with reference to the number of prescriptions is “nothing but an arbitrary restriction upon the number of patients a physi cian shall treat in ordinary course of circumstances. !>r is an unreasonable mandate to malpractice in respect to them.” read the court’s decision. Continuing, the court said that, “if therapeutic use. exact science nud disenses and their courses were ot itn variable diagnosis, and patients were constituted alike,” the provision arbi trarily fixing the amount of alcohol which could be prescribed might be valid, “but since in respect to all these factors the truth is otherwise every patient presenting to the physician a different problem for solution, this pro vision of the statute is invalid." MEN SHOULD WEAR CORSETS, CANADIAN OSTEOPATH ASSERTS Not to Improve Their .Figure, But to Prevent Ruptures When They Are Lifting Heavy Loads. , New York, July 6.—Men really should wear corsets because they lift heavy loads, Dr. V. F. Millard, of Toronto, told the American Osteopathic Associa tion at its annual convention. Other reasons, he added, wei'e that men were 1 more susceptible to rupture and to ab dominal sagging than women.

Amidon. national democratic committeeman from Kansas picked Mr. Amidon to handle the McAdoo campaign, the Evening Post said. The diners discussed the relative strengtli of former Governor Cox. o. Ohio, Governor Smith, of New York, Sen ator Underwood. John W. Davis, formei ambassador to Great Britain, and Henry Ford, concluding that McAdoo could eu ter the campaign with 400 delegates and with many Others remly to switch to him as soon as they had registered “fav orite son” choices.

CELEBRATION HELD AT KANNAPOLIS IS SUCCESS Thousands of Persons Present and Day Proved One of Great Interest For All. Thousands of persons were iu Kannap olis Friday for the big celebration staged there. The celebration was postponed to Friday from Wednesday, the Fourth, be cause the textile plants were dosed Fri day. and the event was in the nature of a Fourth celebration. The festivities started early Friday morning and it was after midnight before they ended. Every minute iu the day was filled for the visitors with some spe cial feature, and the climax of the day came after dark when a gorgeous and modern fireworks display took place. The fireworks were more beautiful to the people in Kannapolis than to anyone else but they were viewed with interest and pleasure by hundreds of people‘who saw them from I Weir homes. In many sections of this city it was possible to see the display, and reports from the county indicate that hundreds of farm people also watched the drsphyrywkfMisi leaving their homes. The display was one of the finest ever given in North Car olina, it is said, and included all of the newest and most modern fireworks fea tures. Baseball, boxiug, races and other ath letic events were the chief features of fered during the day. The boxiug bout, held* at the ball park, was witnessed hi' fully 3.000 people, and in the afternoon when the Cannon and Mooresville teams clashed at the same park, several thou sand persons were present. The Moores ville team won the game 12 to 3, the loss of the game being the only backset to a perfect day for the Kannapolis peo ple. i The races, and especially the greasy ! pig sgees, were enjoyed by flic large 1 crowds. Quite a number of people enter ed the contests, which afforded much amusement. The behavior of the crowd iu Kan napolis throughout the day was excel lent. Sheriff \Y. P. Mabry, who went to Kannapolis to assist police officers in handling the crowd, stated this morning that it was as orderly a crowd as he ever way, and he expressed delight that so many could gather in a city in Cabarrus county and beliave as the crowd behaved in Kannapolis. While everyone was in a holiday mood, there was little drinking and practically no disorder, and the be havior of the crowd added much to the day for those present.

KIYVANIS MEETING Music by Mrs. Gibson and Address by John M. Oglesby Features of the Meeting. The Kiwnnis Club of Concord at its meeting on Friday evening at the Y. M. ('. A. enjoyed a splendid program ar ranged by the team of Brevard Harris, which consisted of several vocal selec tions by Mrs. Laura Ridenlmur Gibson and an address by Mr. John 51. Oglesby. Rotnrian, of this city. No business matters of importance were brought before the club. The com mittee which arranged to meet, with the Lions Club in Albemarle made its report on that meeting and that nothing had been accomplished by it. It was also stated that a plan is now being worked out whereby the Coneord-Albeinarle high way through Mt. Pleasant will be hard surfaced to the Stanly county line, re vardless as to whether or not the Stanly county authorities pave the rejnainder of the distance into Albemarle. Mrs, Gibson rendered several vocal selections which were heartily appreciat ed by her hearers, and she was encored repeatedly. Her accompaniment, was played by Miss Nell Herring. Chairman Harris then, introduced Ro ta rinu Oglesby, who spoke on the good that is being done by the civic organisa tions, such as the Kiwainis and Rotary clubs. In his talk lie took his hearers back to the early history of mankind, •iglit after the cave age, when men begun to live in groups for protection. These grew into towns, and then into cities, and being a citizen of one of these towns was a matter of pride to any person. This pride in the cities led the cities to go so far as to engage in war with each other through jealousies. So. down through history, continued Mr. Oglesby, has come this pride for the community iu which one lives. In our ovn case, living in Piedmont Xortli Car dim. a spot which is not surpassed by any other in this great laud of ours, we should be filled with pride in having our homes here, and we iu our civic clubs should always stand guard for the wel fare of our community and our city. The resources of our own county and city are not even known to persons who have spent their whole lives in Concord, said Mr. Oglesby, who declared that one >f the studies which shoud be added to our public sell,ml course is a study of the resources and facts about our own ■sty and county. One of the great affects of civic clubs is the bringing of-persons closer together. The people of a community learn to know 'ncli other more intimately aud to ap preciate each other more when they have met with each other at the meetings of these clubs. It helps to bury prejudices and misunderstandings, and brings ev ery one closer together in the fellowship that results from the association. The attendance prize, given by team No. 4, was drawn by I>r. Tracy Silencer. CAPT. SHAM* DEAD Prominent Charlotte Man Dead After Ijong Illness. —Was Prominent Church Worker.
