JOHN BARLEYCORN
GOES IN DISCARD
PURE FOOD LAW PUTS END TO
MANUFACTURE AND IMPOR-
TATIoN OF WHISKEY.
STOPS ALL MANUF ACTURE

Washington.-All manufacture Of
whiskey has ceased in the United
States under the provisions of the
food control law and the millions of
bushels of grain heretofore used in
making that form of drink will be di-
verted to food. Importation Of whis-
key was also stopped.
Just how much grain will be added
to the food supplies as result is not
determinable, but experts say about
100, 100000 bushels are used by the
distilleries each year, of which about
40, 000 900 bushels are used in whiskey
manufacture.
Customs officials throughout the
country will seize all importations of
spirituous liquors reaching the United
States. Officers of the internal rev.
enue bureau throughout the country
will see that distilleries make no more
whiskey.
Distilleries may continue n-anufact-
uring alcohol for commercial purposes
and many of them have arranged for
this work, others turning their distil-
leries into manufacturing plants for
yeast, vinegar and by-products.
Stocks of whiskey in the country
undoubtedly are larger than they ever
have been because of active prepare
ton by diStillers and dealers in antici-
patton of the law Distillers have
been working at utmost capacity and
imports have been larger than ever.
Officials estimate the quantity of whis-
key in bond in warehouses to be about
190,000,000 gallons. Stocks not In
bond will bring the quantity on hand
I'm the country up to about 230,000,00
gallons. The annual production Of
whiskey has been about 10000, 900
gallons.
