A KIcKLEss BEER
Ordered By Government to Contain Per
Cent Alcohol.

Washington, ID. c., Nov. 27.--Orders
reducing the alcoholic content of beer tc
per cent will be issued soon by the food
administration with the approval OF
| President Wilson. AT the same time the
amount of grain used by brewers will be
cut down approximately 30 per cent, al
though the volume OF beer will not be
decreased.
In making this announcement last
night the food administration points out
that since there is in the country a two
or three years supply of whiskey, it is
undesirable at the present time to stop
entirely the brewing of beer because of
the possibility of driving the people to
whiskey drinking. The social question
involved, it is declared, must be given
equal consideration with that of food
conservation. OF this problem the state
ment says:
"The food bill provides for the prohi-
bition of the use of foodstuffs in the pro-
duction of distilled spirits for beverage
purposes and the use of foodstuffs for
the production of distilled drinks was
stopped Sept s. There is, however, in
the country from two to three years
supply of whskey, brandy and gin and
other distilled liquors. The food bill pro-
vides that these liquors can be comman-
deered by the government if required for
purposes of manufacture of alcohol for
munitions. On the other hand, the re-
quirements for industrial alcohol in addi.
tion to the normal output from sawdust
and other waste products is at present
negligible.
Those who wish brewing entirely sup
pressed should therefore bear in mind
that if such course were pursued the
country would be placed on whiskey |
basis entirely and the amount of alco-
1ol consumed most probably would in
,rease.
"The desirabiity' of saving all the
.rain used in brewing from the point
II view of food conservation is therefore
United by the social question involved in
he exclusive use of whiskey.a
The regulations will provide for an
increased output of cattle feed from
'rewing establishments.
