j. s. MAY OUTLAW
MAKING OF LIQUORS
AS A WAR MEASURE
"DyS" in Congress Are Pre-
Pairing to Launch SpeCtaC-
uIar Drive for "War PrOhi-
bitiOn," 1t Is Stated
BY ROBERT ]. BENDER.

WASHINGTON, April 15.-America' s
big push for food" may wipe out her
breweries and distillers.
Taking advantage of the threatened
food shortage throughout the world, and
demands on the American farmers 10
feed not only the United States but her
allies, the drys" in congress are prepar-
ing to launch a spectacular drive for
war prohibition"
Plans for the effort have been complet-
ed and will be announced early next
week.
The purpose is to stop the manufac-
ture of all liquors and beers in the Uni
ted States at least for the period of the
war, thereby diverting millions of bush
els of grain into food channels.
Those behind the movement declare
that more than 600,000,000 bushels of
grain would be saved by closing the beer
and whisky plants.
That's enough to feed $4,000, 900
people," says DR.. Wiley, pure food eX-
pert.
FOOD FOR MONTH.
ITS sufficient to feed the whole ma
pard, father Of the national prohibition
amendment.
And besides. they say, thousands OF
men. now working in breweries and dis
tilleries would be released for work at
farming and other productive occupa-
tons
Chairman Lever of the house agri-
culture committee, favors the plan. IL
is given impetus by agricultural experts
in the central part of the country who
have been working on the food problem.
And the movement has gained such
momentum that distillers themselves
#
ferins to restrict their output so as to
release at least 100000 bushels
of grain annually for food.
This offer. however, is scorned by e.
c. Dinwiddie, chairman of the legisla-
tive bureau of the anti-liquor forces
here. He says the distillers and brewers
today are overstocked with grain and
"for business reasons" are willing to re-
duce their grain demands for the coming
year.
RANDALL PREDICTS 1T.
Representative Randall, dry" says
war prohibition" is inevitable.
"Forty-four per cent of the barley, two
per cent of the corn and 10 per cent Of
the rye raised in this country" Ran
dali said today, "is being used in the
manufacture of alcoholic liquors"
Representative Howard believes Presi-
dent Wilson should not and will not wait
for congress to act on the matter, but
as a war measure issue proclama-
tion temporarily closing all breweries,
distilleries and saloons.
DRY" conferences have been in pro-
gress for the last week.
There is bound to be tremendous OPP
position to any attempt to force through
dry measures now under the guise of
war emergency measures. Army men
say that so far as the military estab-
lishment is concerned there is no need
Of any prohibition legislation now.

NINE INDICTMENTS IN

Nine indictments have been return

When Auditor Cheatham arrived a.
Bailey he could find no records show

DR.. Z. Sauer, a Boston physician who
has studied both in this country and In
great European Medical Institutions
SAYS: "As L have said a hundred times
over. organic iron is the greatest of all
strength builders If people would only
take Nuxated Iron when they feel weak
or rundown, instead of dosing them
selves with habit-fOrming drugs, stimu-
lants and alcoholic beverages, l am con-
WINGED that in this way they would ward
off disease, preventing it becoming or
ganic in thousands of cases. ana thereby
the lives OF thousands might be saved
who now die every year from pneumonia,
grippe, kidney, liver, heart trouble and
other dangerous maladies. The real and
true cause which started their diseases
was nothing more nor less than weak
ened condition brought on by lack OF
iron in the blood
Not long ago a man came TO me who
was nearly half century old and asked
me to give him preliminary eXamlna-
ton for life insurance. l was astonished
to find him with the blood pressure OF a
boy of 20 and as full of Vigor, vim ana
vitality as a young man; in fact a young
man he really was, Notwithstanding his
age. The secret, he said was taking
iron-nuxated iron had filled him with
renewed life. At 80 he was in bad
health; at 40 he was careworn and nearly
all in-now, at so, after taking Nuxated
Iron. a miracle of vitality and his face
beaming with the buoyancy of youth.
Iron is absolutely necessary to enable
your blood to change food into living
tissue. Without it, no matter how much
on what YOU eat, your food merely passes
through you without doing you any good.
You don't get the strength out of it, and
as a consequence you become weak. pale
and sickly-looking, just like plant try
ing to grow in a soil deficient in iron.

rundown people who were ailing all the

all symptoms of dyspepsia, liver and
other troubles in from ten to fourteen

proper form. And this, after they had In

Hoover as Food Head

Plenty of work here awaits Her.
bert C. Hoover, chairman of the new
food board. He should be the man
TO do it. AS head of the work of the
Belgian relief commission, he learned
definite facts about the food needs of
populations in the grip of war and
how those needs could be met.
""The foremost duty of America to-
ward her allies" he says, "is to see
that they are supplied with food"
This we take for an expression of
his policy in dealing with the food
problem. The most efficient conduct
of the. war requires team play, on
this country's part, with the western
entente powers. Team play demands
that national comfort and advantage
be for the moment subordinated to
the common cause. In the matter of
food in particular Mr.. Hoover must
act as the purveyor not to American
requirements, but to entente require
mests. He has seen this essential

Our Allies in Past Wars

1t is not the first tin that French
and American troops have fought on
the same side, as we all recollect.
Neither is it the first time that Brit
ish and Americans have been COM
rades in arms. In the one instance
American and British troops fought
afainst the French. In the .ther
American and French armies fought
against the British. In both cases,
the honor of victory was on the side
on which the Americans fought.
In the so-called French and Indian
war, Great Britain came to the aid
Of the American colonies and decided
the important question that the
North American continent should be
Saxon rather than Latin. Colonel
Washington saved the remnants of
the British army under Braddock
marching through the wilderness to-
ward Fort Duquesne, the site of
modern Pittsburgh, in turn named
for the great English commoner.
The glory of the war in which Mont
calm and Wolfe fought together on
the Plains of Abraham was partly
shared by American arms. Under
the terms of peace, Canada became
British together with the great
Northwest territory. The fact after
ward gave Napoleon the best rea-
son for granting the Louisiana Par-
chase to jefferson.
1t was because a stupid tyrant
across the sea would mt follow the
advice Of Pitt who protested against
the treatment of the American
colonies, that Americans and British
clashed in the War of the Revolution,
when the French under the double
instigation of Franklin and La
Fayette came to our aid with men
and money and the feet of Rocham-
beau. That is a debt that America
holds as an eternal obligation.
And now, after a hundred years
of peace between American and Eu-
ropean nations, America and Britain
and France fight for the first time
together against the nation that sent
the Hessians to America in the Revo.
luton, and that in recent years has
gone as far as she dared, in Manila
Bay, in the matter of Venezuela and
of Hayti, in intrigue with Mexico to
oppose the United States. 1t is q
glorious comradeship Of freedom
against tyranny, of civilization
against barbarism, of humanity
against ruthless and selfish aggres-
sion. Of the issue of such a conflict
there can be no doubt.

The Mystery of Martin

Martin of Louisiana. or to be more
specific, from the chief sugar dis
trict of Louisiana, was elected to
Congress as a Progressive-Protec-
zionist. In the organization Of the
House he kept his own counsel as to
how he should vote and finally voted
for Champ Clark for Speaker and
against Mann. Mann is chairman of
the minority Committee on Commit
tees and the next news about Mar
tin was his appointment by this COM
mittee as one of the Republican
members of the Ways and Means
Committee.
1t is easy to explain other appoint
ments from. the Independent group.
Clyde Kelly of Pennsylvania, for
example, has long protested against
the present House rules. He wants
to facilitate business by requiring
roll-calls, taking an hour for each,
when the House is in Committee of
the Whole. Kelly got an appoint
ment on the Rules Committee, when
he voted with the Democrats to or
ganize the House. So did Schall,
the Minnesota Independent, who
nominated Champ Clark for Speaker.
But why should the Republicans re-
ward with a place on the most i'm
portant committee of the House a
man who voted against the Repub-
lican organization? The more it is
considered, the queerer the thing
looks from the standpoint of ordi-
nary political methods. Have any Of
the bright young men of the press
galleries a plausible solution of the
Martin mystery?

CENSORS' BOARD Is
NAMED BY WILSON
George creeI to Direct Press
Bureau During
War.

Aiming at censorship and proper
publicity during the war, the Presi-
dent has established a committee on
public information, with George Creel,
magazine writer and publicist, as eX'
ecutive director.
The action OF the President was
taken as a result OF a joint letter
from the Secretary of State, the Sec
retary of War and 'the Secretary OF
the Navy, setting forth the advisa-
biIity of Government control Of in
formation pertaining to state, naval
and military activities. The three
Cabinet members and Mr.. Creel were
appointed as the committee.
Mr.. Creel was formerly an active
newspaper man in Denver. He also
conducted a weekly newspaper in
Kansas City, and for a time was dl
rector of public safety in Denver
During the last political campaign
he did much publicity work for the
Democratic national committee in OBJ
tanning interviews and statements
from prominent men, including one
from Admiral Mayo relative to the
Vera Cruz incident. His wife Is
Blanche Bates, the actress.
In urging the establishment of the
committee the three Cabinet members
say in their letter to the President:

point plainly, and, honor to him, has
stated it boldly.
He has therefore started right.
Few men in the world today have
more opportunity to serve their
country and the cause than he has.
That opportunity is measured by the
emergency. The 1917 wheat crop in
the United States threatens to be
300,000,000 bushels short of the
amount needed for an assured suf-
ficiency to the United States, Britain,
and France. His opportunity is to
make up the difference by stimulat-
ing production, regulating distribu-
tion, improving and economizing in
methods of transportation, storage,
and manufacture, and in governing
consumption.

La Toilette of the House

1t may not be generally known
that there are two La Follettes in
Congress. The gentleman from
Washington, of that name, distin-
guished himself in the debate on the
bond issue by proposing that we
issue ten billions of bonds to Great
Britain for the purchase of Canada
as substitute of the bond measure
that was pending. The gentleman
indicated his real purpose in the re-
mark, "We had better pay to Great
Britain enough money to finance
their war, if thereby they could with
the money get relays of men from
their own possessions and train them
and not ask US to send our boys into
the trenches of Europe for a cause
not really ours"
Nevertheless, the war is ours and
the cause is ours. The privilegesoftht
House stretch far to protect its mem.
bers from any excesses of utteranct
whether trenching on the domain Of
treason or folly. The etymology Of
La Toilette indicates that the nick.
name given to a French ancestor i:
worthily lived up to by his Ameri
can descendant.

Heretofore the work has been
financed by subscriptions, supple
