KNOCKS KING ALCOHOL.

The senate went on record Saturday
in favor of bone dry national pro-
hibition during the war. so far as
whisky and other distilled beverages
are concerned"
Liquor legislation was written into
the food control bill In one Of the SEN
ate's bitterest contests. which would
strike at consumption OF distilled in
t~0xicants by communicating stocks in
bond. in addition to prohibiting their
manufacture or importation. The
beer and wine industries would be
left u~ndisturbed.
In lieu of the section Of the house
bill to prohibit the manufacture of
foOdstuffs into beverages OF any de-
scription. the senate substituted, by a
vote of as to 81. a provision prohibit
ing the manufacture or importation OF
distilled beverages during the war. and
added. 65 to IL. a further clause di-
recting the president to take over all
distilled spirits in government bond
ed warehouses aud pay for It on the
basis of cost plus 10 per cent.
While the final prohibition legisla-
ton will be. solved in conference be-
tween the two houses. 1t is generally
regarded rs possible that the house
will accept the senate's change.
The senate provision would limit
consumption TO stocks in retailers
hands or withdrawn before the law
goes into effect. Stocks of distilled
beverages in bond were estimated Sat
urday night at between 200. 00O. 900 and
10000 900 gallons, and the annual
normal consumption OF 100. 200. 900 gall
Ions. To purchase this enormous
quantity of liquor, or what is left Of
it after Withdrawals in anticipation Of
legislation. it is estimated that the
government would have to spend from
5000. 900 900 TO 81. 900. O00. 900. The

them realize that the whole world IS

These boys Will also be more en-

Many say that war. even a war like
this, VIII not change men. That after
80 many wars man has remained al

joys and his miseries. These people
are right. but only In part, as they
forget that victory can endow a people
with energy and self-conddence. while
defeat may PROSTATE II for fifty or
one hundred years.
