Solicitor. The issuance of the Instruction vhich were sent out by Assistant Seeletary Rowe last Saturday was based i.jion an interpretation of the food and ift-cnue laws given by Mr. Becker, solicitor of the Treasury Department. v. official of the Department of Justice. Mr. Pecker ruled that the revenue law '! proved Oct, 3. repealed provisions of th previously enacted food control law which flatly prohibited the importation ny distilled spirits.

Lake County nil! shortly be called upon to raise a minimum sum of $1,230 ns her token of appreciation f the 315 men from the county who ate now in Camp Taylor at Louisville. The money thus raised will, with the glft from other counties of t lie State, be used to provide "Mes Funds" or "Comfort Funds" for the various companies of Indiana soldiers in the. National Army. Every company of the lnl'ma National Uunrd when it left ts home station, was provided with a "Company Fund" which is expended under the direction of tlje Captain, for 1'ttlo tub'e luxuries and camp comforts not provided by the government. A strict Recounting for all funds thus experded is required by the army officials. And aftr the company goes Into servbo the members usually maintain the fund by contributions. assessments. mi'Ttainments and by the j routs received from the regimental exchange. Recause of the members of the National Army going to the cantonments in various increments arid unasigned as to companies it was impossible, to provide them with the funds was dne. for the National Guard. The Indiana Commercial Secretaries' Association, therefore etjegested to the State Council of Defense that they adopt plan whereby each county would raise a minimum sum of Two Dollars f"r each man leaving the county to join the National Army. This money to be sent o the State Couip-il Defense- who wou?'l In turn deliver it to the Commander at Camp Taylor, he to see that it is properly distributed to the Indiana mtn. This would give each company of men a fund of Five Hundred Dollars. The State Council of Peftnse proposed the plan to th '"amp Command r. Louisville, who heartily endorsed it. after which the t'ourcil cf Defense enthusiastically adopted it and requested the Secretaries' Association to cxeeu'e It und'r their direction. W. G. Irwin, widely known banker and m-iufacturr. of Columbus, was named. Treasurer of tli Fund, and John I-;. Norlhway. President of the Indian Commercial Secretaries' Association, will direct the campaign to raise th money. Lake County will, no doubt repeat the record she has made in the previous patriotic campaigns and Hammond will do her part in raising the county's oio-a Her ' campp gn will probably he under the direction of the Chamber of Commerce. Further announcements will be made in the next few days.

I th.nk most of the soldiers in this country will agree with the enlisted men and officers at the font In resenting the nick name "Sammy." We do not object to a suitable nickname but "Sammy" is so undignified and unsuUnble for our soldiers, fighting for the world's 'berty. "Sammy" is apparently chosen In honor of our Uncle Sam but who would think of calling him "Uncle Sammy"? "Yankee' lias been good enough for theAmerican Soldier until now. Why c.h a n g ?
