RENSSELAER, INDIANA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1914.

DOCTORS WILL NOT HELP LIQUOR SALE

*< V, Rensselaer Physicians Agree to Give No Prescriptions For Sale of Intoxicants. ■I ■ ■ . Rensselaer physicians are, to be congratulated. They have agreed not to give prescriptions for intoxicating liquors and this should prove a great aid to the cause of temperance. It is the unanimous verdict of the physicians of this city that there is no occasion as a nftedical aid Ip write a prescription for whiskey or other intoxicating beverage then there would seem no sufficient reason why any liquor should be sold at all, and it would be a grand thing if the druggists would also enter into an agreement not to sell it. The law, and about the mean-, est law ever* placed on the statute books of Indiana, gives the druggist the right to sell whiskey in quantities of a quart at a time. The only requirement is that the buyer sign a statement that he js ill and needs the whiskey as medicine. The druggist is presumed to have knowledge of the buyer and to sell the liquor only when he believes the person who signs the statement is in actual need of it for medicinal purposes. Now, if all the doctors of a community are so certain that whiskey is hot needed for reasons of health that they will not give a prescription, then there would seem to be no reason why it should be sold at all and here is an opportunity for the druggists to get entirely out of the business.

As a matter of fact 95 per cent of all the quart sold liquor is not for sickness at all. It ,is bought to satisfy an appetite for it and the buyer and the druggist know this to be true. If the’doctor’s position .is correct and we have every reason to believe it is, then there is no need of liquor as a medicine and no reason for the druggists to accept the statement of any person that he needs it. A man recently arrested on a charge of to justify his position by the claim that he was doing the same thing that the druggists were doing and was not deserving of censure any more than they. The Republican does not know to what extent, if at all, the Rensselaer druggists sell whiskey. They may exercise every precaution that seems necessary to them, but they might sieze this

opportunity to join with these seven Rensselaer physicians and thus do a great deal toward making Rensselaer actually “dry.” The statement given by the physicians follows: ‘The undersigned physicians o<f Rensselaer in a called meeting at 8 p. m., Thursday, Nov. 19th, entered into the agreement to write no prescriptions for intoxicating liquors. The‘occasion for such 'an agreement being our reluctance to contribute to the prevalent drunkenness, to the prevalent idea among the legal profession as to the legality of a prescription given for less than a quart and the apparent fact that we as a profession have nothing to do with the sale of a beverage. Signed:

Chalmers Bank Was Insured Against Loss by Burglary.

Chalmers, Nov. 19.—The adjusters of the New Amsterdafn Casualty company and the Indiana Bankers’ association arrived here today, to adjust the loss sustained by the State Bank of Chalmers when the safe was blown by yeggmen early Wednesday morning. bank lost $2,289.60, but carried insurance to cover it. Besides the adjusters, Harry Webster, of Indianapolis, and James Anderson, of Chicago, two representatives of the William Burns detective agency, were here to make an investigation. William W. Weinhardt, of the Weinhardt secret service at Lafayette, wbo worked on the case yesterday learned that three of the gang left Chicago on the Monon passenger train that passed through this city at 8:45 p. m. Two of the party had

tickets, to Reynolds, and one to Brookston, but Detective Weinhardt learned that all left the train at Reynolds. He also learned that one of the men wore a blue cravanet, corresponding with the one found in the bank here after the robbery. The men after .leaving the train at Reynolds were seen to start toward this city, walking along the Monon railroad tracks. T t is now believed that the yeggs had a fourth member of the gang to wait for thenF in an automobile at the road crossing a mile north of town and after securing the booty, they walked to- the automobile and made their getaway. Mr. Weinhardt secured a good description ■of the crooks and it has been forwarded to the Chicago police.

WATER FRONT OF RANGE EXPLODED

Range Was Wrecked, Kitchen Windows Shattered and James E. Walters Badly Injured. •\ . ' '■ The explosion of the water front of a cooking range this Friday morning at 'the home of James E. Walters in the B. L. Sayler property on North Forest street, resulted in damage exceeding SIOO and the severe injury of Mr. Walters, while Mrs. Walters was slightly injured. The explosion seems to have been caused by steam which formed in the water cavity after the pipes had frozen up.

■ Mr. Walters was seated at a small table in the kitchen and Mrs. Walters and their little son were standing nearby. > The explosion came without warning. The" front of the stove was shattered and driven into the wall which was only about three feet away. The 'top of the range was twisted backward, the firebox was shattered, the lire falling beneath into the ash box. - One lid of the stove was driven through the ceiling and parts of the metal struck the walls and ceiling in- several places Two windows in the kitchen were torn out,' and also the window in a pantry. Every window was broken and the sash shattered. The safe and china closet was struck by flying messles of steel and the glass broken out and several dishes broken. On piece of metal struck Mr. Walters on the right arm, inflicting a deep cut and severing an artery. He suffered considerably from loss of blood before the arrival of Dr. Gwin, who found it necessary to take several stitches to close the wound. Mrs. Walters was struck on the back of the head and on the right cheek, causing bruises that are not serious. The little boy was uninjured. The range was a standard make and was as good as new, having been purchased only four or five years ago. The water front was a new one, havitag been put into the stove only two weeks ago. The range is a total wreck and can not ■be repaired. Mr. Walters suffered some from the .shock and the loss of blood and it necessary to be put in bed/The damage from the explosion will doubtless exceed SIOO. '

Stephenson, who gets out a cracking fine paper at Williamsport and has made it so lively that all competition has faded away, is soon to have another paper as competition, according to reports.

Williamspbrtj however, is a one-newspaper town and Mr. Clifton will doubtless find it ]>oor picking, just as odr friend AT Kitt did at Goodland.
