ANTI-SHIPPING LIQUOR
BILL BECOMES A LAW

Montgomery, Ala, Feb 9.-Deliv-
cry of more than one quart of whis-
key or other intoxicating liquor to
any one person in Alabama will be
prohibited after June 80 under the
benson anti-shipping bill which be-
came effective today. The measure be-
came law automatically, having re-
mained unsigned by Governor Hen
derson for seven days after its pas
sage by the legislature. The law
directs transportation companies not
to make liquor deliveries oftener than
once a month.
A bill which would prohibit news
papers in Alabama from publishing
liquor advertisements was returned
to the legislature with the COVER
nor's veto. 1t has been made the
special order Of business Wednesda,
when an effort probably will be made
to override the veto. The state
wide prohibition bill recently was
passed over Governor Henderson's
veto.

New York, Feb. 14.-The war re-

Rockefeller foundation from its war

The agricultural regions are de

"Yet if one is to understand the Bel

to emphasize not the destitution of a
few hundred thousand people to the
suddenly enforced inactivity of a
strong and healthy nation of 7,OOO,-

The destruction of stock is Of great

England, the most conservative
nation involved, and not the least
drunken, now falls in with an in

necessity OF curbing the saloon.
Custom Is Traditional
Engineers, he says. must win
this war, and for one reason or
another the workshops have not
been as efficient as they should
be. In some of the armament
factories, the men have refused
to work the full week on account
of its interfering with the tradi
tional weekly spree of the British
workingman.
The British workingman is not
to blame. He has from time i'm
memorial been taught the inno-
cence and even the necessity of
alcohol.

War in past ages has been a
time for drinking and wassailing.
Victors drank to celebrate, the
vanquished to drown their sor-
rows, and the idle to pass away
the time.
In the Russian army during
the Japanese war, champagne and
women for the officers were a
part of the game of war.
1t became a national scandal {;
and the revulsion against that
dissipation must have had some
thing to do with the prohibition
ukase which has redeemed Rus
sia's drunken people this year.
Sake Breweries Hard Hit
France has banisbed absinthe
since the war began, and we learn
now that In Japan there Is a
movement against the sake
drunkenness which corresponds
to the vodka evil in Russia. The
sake breweries have met with a
: loss of 80 per cent in their sales.
Rumors come from Germany
and Austria that those nations
are carefully considering the
effects Of dink on the national
fiber.
