Vrcount Aston
Gives His Views

viscount Waldorf Aston, secretary TO
the Prime Minister and member OF lhe
Liquor Control Board, is devoting large
part of his time to the question OF reguia-
ton and control.
"Before the war" he said, in summing
I'd the situation to-day, "34,OOO'OOo stand
srd barrels of beer had been brewed year
", a supply just about sufficient 10 meet
the demand. The Asquith government
passed the restricting act cutting the
brewing output to 26,oO0,ooo barrels

output was cut to 100000 barrels ana
then 10 100000. This dates from Aprii

Great Saving
Shown IN Sugar

"By ne reduction in brewing $4,000
tons OF sugaf has been saved. Sixteen dis
tillcries produce practically 700 tons
of yeast weekly, the whole Of which is
needed in. bread making. To replace yeast
by baking powder It would be necessary to
construct a plant producing 1900 tons of
acid phosphate and another capable of
producing 1000 tons of sulphuric acid to
remove all trace of the arsenic from the
baking powder"
The results of this restriction are con-
clusively shown in the decrease in the num-
Der of convictions for drunkenness. IN

Prohibition not
Due Thi. Year

There Is no probability that there Will
IA complete prohibition-even such as IS
nrovided in the legislation now before the
A1erican Congress-within this year.
evan II The war and the submarine cam
,a;on last that long. Liquor is sold TO-
dav IN France, Germany and Austria, all
., which have suffered infinitely more
than Britain. None Of them has yet be-
.cms convinced that the manifest advan-
tares Of prohibition would outweigh the dis
turbance to the habits Of the people and
the evil due to the removal of another OF
the few luxuries which the people as
whole enjoy.
Just at present the lively campaign for
and against state purchase Of the liquor
interests has died down. l understand
that he government practically has de-
c;ded hat state purchase is the best
course. but the moment it introduces Dill
10 that effect fierce fight will arise IN the
House of Commons. Those VINO nave
studied the subject closely tell me that the
Government has an even chance to get the
measure passed. The liquor trade has ire
nendous influence in the House and Is able
to swing many votes.
If the government should purchase the
rouor business, it would control it during
the war and eventually permit local OPP
ton. The Scottish temperance act now
on the statutes gives the Scotch people
the right to vote in 1920 for the abolition
Of drink. and it is generally agreed that
they will decide favorably.

Problems for
The Brewers

"But l do not say that this justifies the
mailing of fresh barley for beer. AS you
have already matted the barley, you want
to make the existing stocks go around as
far as possible. That means dilution.

On Norway

Bringing Protests

Christiania, Norway, June 14,-(As-

latest German acts against Norway are

demned by the Legislature as showing

government to uphold the self-respect

This happened May 16 and, upon an
Interpolation in the legislature regard
ing this affair which has turned the
whole press and public opinion more
anti-German than ever, Minister of For
eign Affairs Ihlen answered that the
governments protest in Berlin and the
assurance of the steamer being a gov
eminent chartered boat had only met
unwillingness to straighten out the af-
fair and give satisfactory excuse. On
the contrary there was no prospect of
the ship being released in the near fu-
ture as the case would be tried before
a prize court. More humiliating was the
announcement that the Norwegian crew
now would be brought before German
court-martial because they. according to
orders from Norwegian naval officer in
Norwegian waters, had hoisted the Nor
wegian flag.
For the first time since the war broke
out friction with one of the belliger-
ent nations has been discussed openly
in the Legislature. In other cases the
minister of foreign affairs has kept ev-
erything secret and been unwilling to let
the public know what steps the Nor
wegian government has taken to protect
the rights of their citizens against the
new numberless Entertainments from
German sides.
All the leading politicians, in very
strong terms, condemn this last hu-
initiation from the German govern
ment.
The press requested that the Norwe-
gian crew at once be given their lib
erty and sent home if the Thorum was
not released, asserting that the crew
acted according TO Norwegian law and
should not be punished in Germany.
The only paper that tried to belittle
the affair was the Socialhiokraten.

WOMEN TOO AMBITIOUS

Excessive ambition leads all Sorts of
women to exert themselves beyond
their strength. The girl striving for
honors in school. the busy housewife,
the shop-girl, the society climber or
leader. all overtax their natural
powers of endurance. Then come
nervous troubles, backaches, head
aches. frequently organic troubles,
which reduce them almost to despair.
Women suffering thus should hrst
recognize the necessity of putting on
the brakes and slowing down. Be-
sides this, TO remedy the mischief
already done to their health, the best
reliance 10 upon that famous and
standard medicine for womens all
ments, Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound.
