The Future of Whisky

There will be much less whisky drunk next year and for years afterward than formerly The price will be almost prohibtve There will be none manufactured if the senate amendment to the war tax bill goes through for the the grain used would bring the total on whisky, to s9 gallon and the average citizen will thirst for whisky whose basic price is s9 gallon which must be added the of the material the labor the expense of making and the distiers the wholesalers and the retail dealers profit
 The country is by means out of whisky. There is enough of yet the country float many battle ships but it will rise unheard of prices. There are however, who will have it figure they raise dime dollar a drink. These men will spend whatever they make for strong liquor and it is therefore. better all around that they spend all their money little whisky possible. It better for them better for the bartenders who will be spared frequency of showing the bot tie wipng the bar; for the saloon keeper who will have to keep. much money invested. and obviously better for those who holding the whisky. We deplore the high cost of living but welcome the high higher highest cost of whisky. We should like the of whisky high that a multi millionaire could not pay the price of drink of it.

The period of sobriey forced upon the nation will afford people an oppor- tuny for thinking and looking back the ruin of the past Distilers will not likely commit themselves again to investments which the oncoming wave Of prohibition had threatend even before the war.

Of ficers from the institute have, at the request of the faculty and the student body. been assigned to duty there as commandant and as instructors in va rious branches of military science. In addition to these officers the battalion has been commanded by cadet officers and the first class go over every after noon to assist in the instruction.
 At the beginning of the war every cadet in the first class who was of age and physically able had been designat- eG either for commission in some branch of the regular service, or for the reserve corps. Al the request of the war department that men be graduated so as to enable them to report for duty. twenty seven members of the first class have been graduated and perhaps others will be called to duty before the close of the session.i
 During this year we have sent into the various branches Of the regular ser vice one hundred and two men. This includes not only the appointments to i the regular army but also appointments | in the marine corps and in the pay corps Of the navy, as assistant pay masters. This makes a total of nearly . three hundred of our men in the regular service and does not include the men who are in the reserve corps of officers. There are perhaps hundrdds already commissioned or at training camps for commissions in the reserve corps

 Really" Miss Mollie said, T don't know of anything that could have made us happier than when the management of the store said we might install the lunch rooms, but then it is just like everything Loveman, Joseph S Loeb does The firm is composed of the big gest-hearted, the most progressive and the most wide-awake men in ali the wide world, and there is nothing within reason that they won't do for us. When Mrs Murdoch as head of the Consumers league, and Mrs. Bowron and others from the Suffrage association came to MT. Jo- seph and MT. Loveman and asked them about the conditions for employees at the lunch hour and suggested what might be arranged when the annex was finished, both of these gentlemen were heartily in favor of the plan and as soon as 1t was feasible it went into effect
 I'm sure it would take us years to tell the firm how we appreciate their llind- ness and generosity in the matter of pro- Viding the lunch rooms, the hospital room, the library and the cozy rooms for recreation we now have,' Miss Mollie said. Tt makes everything so home-like and cheerful. As for myself, it affords me the greatest pleasure to do a bit of housekeeping even for so large a fam fly. It gives that little, honey Feeling to things, you know. The three hours Tor luncheon I give my entire attention to the lunch rooms; the rest of the time my work is mainly with the wrapper girls, making an inspection of bundles, seeing that things are properly done up and looking after the girls generally.
 Miss Molle Dowd is one of Loveman, Joseph & Loeb's most valuable assets; she's fine business woman, and wom- an of high character and rare tact, and as hostess at the new lunch rooms she has added to her many other duties one which fits her admirably and gives her
