Colorado Riddles are facing q
crisis. The old-fashioned luscious
plum pudding and the satisfying
mince pie have been banished from
the state under the new prohibition
law that went into effect on the hrst
of the year.
Governor Carlson, in pubic
statement, signed the death warrant
of these national dishes, introduced
into America by our Puritan ances-
tors. The governor is upheld in his
Judgment by Attorney General Far
rar. Their action is also justIfled by
the chemist. An analysis shows ina.
the ordinary plum pudding, such as
the corner grocer sells. contains S.4s
The daily Gate City. [volume] (Keokuk, Iowa) 1855-1916, 1916-04-02

per cent of alcohol and a trace of
ethyl alcohol-as much alcohol as
beer contains.
But the kiddies, ignoring lawyers
opinions and chemists analysis, are
asking what Christmas will be like
next year without the usual double
portion of mince pie and plum pud-
ding They even doubt whether Sam
ia Claus will visit Colorado at all be-
cause of the hateful decree.
On the other hand, an epidemic of
"rnelancholia infanitis," the official
name for Juvenile disappointment,
may be expected before Santy's next
annual visit. In that event physi-
clans may be writing prescriptions
on the nearest drug store for the
curative plum pudding.
The daily Gate City. [volume] (Keokuk, Iowa) 1855-1916, 1916-04-02

If all Of these plans fail, there il
still a way out Colorado offers al
the wealth that is stored in her hills
to the culinary genius who will in
vent an acceptable substitute for the
good old-fashioned mince pie and
plum pudding. Prohibition has pro-
duced many strange connections,
intoxicating medicinal "tonics," va
rious caffein stimulants at soda
fountains, and ''near beer" Now
enter "near mince pie" and NEAR
plum pudding"
Unless something is done, Colo
radoans say, old Saint Nicholas may
be driven to boot-legging in order to
insure the kiddies an .old-fashioned
