Kick In
Beer, the Irnbiber
Will Soon Find

Washington, d. c., Dec. 29.-Be-
fore the year 1913 Is very many days
old, the imbiber of beer is likely to
discover that his favorite beverage
has a weaker kick" than he has
been accustomed to. BY proclamation
of President Wilson all beer brewed
after Monday is to contain but 2 Sd
per cent of alcohol. By the same
proclamation the manufacturers of
malt liquors are prohibited from
using more than 70 per cent Of the
average amount of foods, fruits food
materials and feeds used by them
during the year ending today.
After today the proclamation
provides no person shall use any
food, fruits, food materials or feed
in the production of malt liquor I'M
less he secures q license to do so
and complies with rules laid down by
the government to control the pro
duction of such liquor and its aleo-
holic comments, and no person shall
import any such liquor unless under
license to be issued by the Treasury
Department
The food b. provided for the pro-
hibition of the use of foodstuffs. in
the production of distilled drinks was
stopped last September. There is
however, IN the country from two to
three years supply of whiskey, bran
dy and gin and other distilled Eo,-1rs.
The food bill provides that these
liquors can be Communicated by the
government fer industrial alcohol. in
addition to the normal output from
saWdust and other waste products is
at present negligible.
1t should be borne in mind by those
who wish brewing entirely sup
pressed. that if such a course were
pursued the country would be placed
on a whisky basis entirely, and the
amount of alcohol consumed would
most probably increase. The desir-
ability of saving all the grain used
in brewing, from the point of view of
food conservation is, therefore. limit
ed by the social question involved in
the exclusive use of whiskey.

the Red Cross rummage sale will be

new location at Coolidges old jewel
ry store, corner of Oak and Third

Saturdays only, from a. m. to p.
m.
All residents of the city and valley
are invited to contribute any articles
of clothing for men, women and chill
dren, also books and shoes and any
pieces of merchandise In the way of
household furniture and ranch tools
that are still useable but for one rea-

The committee hope and expect to
nave on sale quite number of new
things that have been donated by
friends of the Red Cross in Portland

ter wear collected since the close of
the sale in July, the new stock will

All articles for the sale may be left
any time at the Hood River Garage

Please, everyone, remember that
by contributing to this sale, as well
as by purchasing from it, two great
purposes are accomplished, i. e., the

the local Chapter, and, further, the
opportunity is given to many to pur-
chase fine, warm clothing for the
winter, as we'll as other things, at
prices more than reasonable, in fact
at great bargains. This is certainly
work that has been greatly appre-
ciated by many throughout the valley
and should be supported by every
one interested in the trying times
now at hand.
Let us all prepare for the present
and future and make an effort to con-
tinue the success of the rummage
sale. Don't leave it for the commit
tee to do all the work; this is not a
private affair, 1t is for the Red Cross
and open for all to help.
Respectfully,
Ways and Means Committee.

MOTOR CYCLISTS HAVE CHANCE

In the field battalion of signal troops
there is a place for six motor cyclists, but
the War Department officials are consid-
ering an alternate scheme of motor trans
portation instead of wagons and animals
which. if adopted, would at least double
the number Of motor cycle riders.
In the regular service there are sew
eral of these battalions with motor cycl-
lists.
Whatever force Congress decides to
raise, whether by conscription or call
for volunteers, the result will be the
same, and the Signal Corps organiza-
tion will be on the same basis as now
provided Wherever a Signal Corps or
ganization is formed there will be need
for at least this proportion of motor
cycle riders.
There is authority now vested in the
War Department to raise forty battal-
ions as part Of the Signal Corps Re-
serve in the general scheme of prepar-
edness under the national defense act.
