ALCOHOL IN THE WAR
Shall We Lose With Liquor or Win Without


Alcoholic beverages must go.
The requirement is clear Alcohol
can fill liquor glasses TO satisfy the
wilful appetite of thousands of Amer
leans living comfortably at home
or 1t can be transferred 10 fiji a hun
dred hospital needs TO save the lives
and relieve the sufferings of other
thousands on the battlefields
Alcohol may play its part in the
gayeties of the club, in the hotel, and
in the home.-or it may play a big
ger part in the manufacture of the
munitions which alone can bring US
victory. 1t may be transferred into
beverages which make for pleasure.
or it may become the fuel that will
serve the nation when other fuels
are lacking.
Alcohol can no longer satisfy the
demands of the cOuntry's indulgence
only. 1t must serve the thousands
of industrial purposes that are the
vital needs of America at war. And
in war time, everything must go
that hampers the work Of a success
full mobilization Of the country's re-
sources, and leads to final victory.
Every extravaganza and waste in
home life and public life must be
eliminated. and the great industry
of alcoholic beverage manufacture
must bow before the demands of the
nation in its time of crisis This is
no sentimental demand, - nor re-
ligious, nor even moral,-it is the
demand OF the nations chemists,
based upon scientific analysis.
No man would assume that we
should curb our supply of ether in
order TO increase our supply of bev-
erages in time of peace. and no man
Will say that our soldiers should be
denied the greatest possible protec-
ton because the manufacture of their
medicines depends upon the reduc-
ton of our alcoholic drinks As a
local anaethetic, as a heart and res
piration stimulant, and for many
other purposes, ether, so largely
made of alcohol, finds wide use on
the battlefield
Ether may be used in connection
with kerosene to produce a very sat
isfactory substitute for gasoline in
motor cars. 1t may be employed as
solvent, as a cleaning solution for
guns, and for many other important
purposes. Its use as such, on a large
scale. is impossible now, because
while denatured alcohol is free. pure
alcohol, used in the manufacture of
either, costc $2.40 a gallon Of which
South Bend news-times. (South Bend, Ind.) 1913-1938, 1917-05-15

$500 is tax. European countries
have removed this tax. and ether is
now made in quantities. Europe's
plan has been successful. 1t was
forced upon her by dire necessity.
Let us learn by her experience.
Alcohol is of fundamental neces-
sity as a solvent in the manufacture
of explosives. We must be sure that
the present abnormal demand is not
hampered even remotely. Consider
the comparative importance of alco-
hol for beverages and for explosives
in war times
As fuel. alcohol finds great use.
and fuel will be in unnatural de-
mand as the war goes on. For in
ternal combustion engines. for cook
ing stoves, and for numerous other
purposes. alcohol, as a fuel. must
help win the war. Emergencies will
arise, and shortages in other fuels
will appear suddenly. There must be
no curtailment of this source.
Not only for ether. for explosives.
and for fuel, does this country need
alcohol. The need goes into nearly
every industrial field and this need
Is always increased by war. For a
great number of medicinal purposes
other than either, alcohol is essential
the preparation of dye-stuffs de-
lpends upon it, and the manufacture
Of many shellacs and varnishes.
These are only a few of alcOhOl's
industrial uses
but why not use wood alcohol
for all these purposes" goes the ar
gument, land continue using grain
alcohol in the manufacture of Ii
quor?" And the nations chemists
answer impossible" The vapors of
wood alcohol are binding. and its
use is highly dangerous for all man
ufacturing
Efficiency? Economy? What will
become of these if the great indus
trial units, now deliberately organ
lied and busily engaged in the man
ufacture of alcoholic beverages, must
close up shop, abruptly?
Don't close the breweries and dis
tilleries. Transform them. Instead
of making alcohol for drinks. make
il for the manufacture of explosives,
make it for ether and other medic
inal purposes make it for fuel,
make it for dyes and shellacs, make
il for every use to which Uncle
Sans chemists can put it in the
supreme moment when all things
must go to the melting pot 10 be

HOROSCOPE
Tuesday. May 10. 1917.

This is a favorable day. for the
sun. Mercury. Saturn and Venus are
all in the benefc aspect.
II is a most suspicious rule for re-
ceiving persons OF high station and
for associating with men who have
power. especially in the financial
world.
Appointments Of every sort have
fortunate direction. when the sun
is friendly. There is. however, a
sign read as forecasting dissatisfac-
ton over the giving OF favors gained
by political influence.
Mercury again gives promise Of
great benefits for publishers and ed
itOrs. Advertising has the best pos
sible direction.
Potters and all who make vessels
for cooking. whether they be of iron,
TN or copper have abe assurance Of
! immense profits.
The stars which presage gain for
agriculturists also seem TO progosti-
cate some sort Of cooperation on a
large scale that will increase profits.
Under the sway all public enter
| tainments should be successful.
/ There is a planetary government
making for large audiences. Music
will gain unusual attention. it is
predicted.
Business losses and a sudden in

foretold, but Venus appears to give
promise of benefits for modistes and
milliners.
Agitation concerning economy in

Again the death of a great actress
is foretold and the planet which
many notables still indicates losses
! TO the world of art This includes
authors, painters, musicians and
architects.
Criticism Of men who WELD ma

from this time on and this will af-

Priest Wilson.
Horseradish, leeks, or garlic,

first year are likely TO become woody
and misshappen, and the best re-
suits are obtained by planting it
fresh every spring. and digging ev-
cry root out in the late fall or even
at the end of winter often horse
radish is allowed TO grow year after

ing dug whenever needed.
The plant is propagated from cut
ting of the roots called sets" These
