SAN FRANCISCO BOOZE

Is San Francisco swearing off? The
inquiry is suggested at first thought on
reading report. from that city to the
effect that fully one hundred saloons
In San Francisco have gone under since
the middle of May" Quite a startling
statement. The number of submerged
booze dispensaries thus indicated is just
half the total number of such concerns
in Los Angeles.
But there is no cause for apprehen-
sion of booze famine in San Francisco.
Prior to the calamity of last year there
were nearly four thousand places in
that city where liquors were sold. AS
suming that the present number ap-
proximates the former figure the loss
of a hundred, more or less, is not likely
to distress consumers. While the num-
Der is equal to half the total in Los
Angeles, it represents only about one
fiftieth of the total in San Francisco.
The cause of the slump in the liquor
business, of the northern city is inter-
esting and suggestive. 1t is said that
"saloonkeepers, proprietors of breweries
and the wholesale liquor merchants as
sert that the failures are directly due
to the strikes and industrial disturb
ances." So it seems that strikes are
indirectly conducive to temperance.
The stoppage of wage-earning cuts off
revenues that are important factors in
maintaining the vast number of grog-
geries in San Francisco.
But in this connection a thought
comes to mind that has a pathetic
bearing. If a hundred saloons in San
Francisco have been obliged to close
because of the stoppage of revenue re-
sulting from the strikes, how have the
families of strikers Jared meantime?
Such shortage of booze buying money
as is indicated implies also a shortage
of money for bread buying and rent
paying. What is the situation in re-
spect to the wives and children OF strik-
ers whose> lack of booze money has
necessitated the closing of hundred
saloons?
1t is not in business paralysis and
official decentralization that San Fran
cisco is suffering most. Thousands of
wretched homes, miserable wives and
pitiable children are examples Of the
most acute suffering from the deplora-
BILE plight of the stricken city.

CULTIVATED CATERER.

Joseph Lyons runs in London what
is by long odds the most colossal ca
tering concern in the world. There is
no aggregation of restaurants under
one management in America that feeds
such a vast multitude daily. His
company has just declared dividend
of 321a per cent, besides adding to its
reserve fund. From the rank Of a
small public provider at provincial ex-
hibitions, he has risen in twenty years
to the forefront of the restaurant and
catering world, and today the ramifi-
cations of his business extend through
out the whole of Great Britain. But
the most amazing thing about Mr..
Lyons is that while building up this
stupendous business he has found
both time and inclination to cultivate
his talents in directions remote from
trade and commerce. AS an artist he
ranks SO far above the average am
ateur that his pictures are accepted
at the best exhibitions in competition
with the works of professionals. And
now he has announced that in eollab-
Grafton with Cecil Raleigh, the famous
dramatic author, he has just complet-
ed a novel and expects hereafter to
turn out three novels a year in the
same way.

Perhaps no one feature in the fur

the draperies. These more than any
thing else give character to their sur

MEALS WITHOUT MEAT.

A well known woman authority or
cooking, writes the following article
with recipes, on meals without meats.
There are so many different kinds OF
taste and preference in the world tina
one must cater TO each of them occa-
sionally. For my own part, 1 have had
no Ill results from meat eating. nor
do believe harm comes from using
meat on the table. i it is properly
cooked and partaken Of in moderation.
Yet since there are those among nv
constituency who feel a preference for
meatless diet, whether from motives
of hygiene or humanitarianism, / de-
sire to consult their tastes as well as
those of the friends with whose paIates
am more fully in sympathy.
believe that the strictest sect of
the vegetarians bar from their tables
all dishes made of eggs. The more
liberal members of this school permit
eggs, and thereby gain in their ability
to produce savory results.
l have consulted the principles of
both schools in making out the follow
ing dietary. and 1 hope that my own
weakness in favor of meat has not
hampered me in devising appetizing
compounds for the vegetable eaters
The kindly fruits of the earth have
warm place in my affections and I
have made a study of their prepara-
ton in varied and attractive forms,
even if my inclinations lead me to ac-
company them on my table and on my
plate with a little animal food.
The most devout vegetarian could be
no more fervent admirer of soups with
rrf ta
able place on my table, and whether
they appear as cream or as clear. as
thick purees or as thin soups enrich
ed by sliced vegetables or spaghetti,
they are always justly popular with
my family and myself. I give my time
and space TO other dishes than these.
May these new preparations meet with
success and approval.
