All processes in the production o
distilled spirits for beverage pur
poses closed at IL O'Clock p. m
Saturday. September sth. This rui
ing was issued by Federal Food Ad
niinistrator Herbert c. Hoover. Un,
der the prohibition section OF ths
food control act II is provided thai
from and after thirty days from
the date OF approval OF the act
foods. fruits. food materials or feeds
shall not be used In production ol
distilled spirits for beverage pur-
poses.
The thirty-day period named will
expired at midnight. September 9Th.
This date was Sunday, and rs
the internal revenue laws prevent
the operation OF distilleries after IL
O'Clock at night on Saturday until
the following Monday at ! a. m. II
is held by the food administration
that the law became effective on
Saturday night. September sth. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Hoover. the Law con-
templates that all steps in the pro-
cess OF distillation shall cease at the
point OF time indicated In the ruling.
The above date marks a new and
far reaching epoch In the history Of
the country. II will be the first time
in the history OF the Emitted States
when distilled liquors are not gem
orally manufactured.
As to the extent which this move
ment VIII affect the prohibition issue
time will be required to determine.
There is no doubt tnat It will form
one OF the great weights that will
eventually crush out the liquor curse.
While the measure Is primarily in
tended as temporary economic
measure. 1t is not improbable that II
Will eventually become the perma-
nent policy OF the country and thus
forever settle the whisky question
In the United States.
Owing to the fact that an immense
stock OF distilled liquors is In stor-
age the immediate effects OF the re.
striction viii not be greatly per-
ceptIble. However. the stocks In re
serve. with no prospect OF renewed
supplies. will be held at prices Sc
high that none but the wealthy car
afford to indulge. The common peo
pie will still have wine and beer
but they. too. will doubtless b.
placed on the retired list and thu
prohibition will become an accom-
pllshed fact.

for some years been special feature.
Each Saturday morning from fifty to

pose and called the "children's room"
The ages of the children vary from six
TO fourteen years. At st. John, N. b.,
story telling has been continued now
for three years. This year 1t has been
found advisable to divide the children
according TO age snd to hold two
classes OF half an hour each. The
work has steadily crown In interest,
