BEER IS TO BE REDUCED
TO THREE PERCENT CONTENT

Washington, d C.. Nov. 27.-Orders
reducing the alcoholic content Of beer
to three percent 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 viii be cut down approx
mately 80 percent. although the vol
ume OF beer viii not be decreased.
In making this announcement the
food administration points out that
since there is in the country a two
or three years supply Of whisky il is
undesirable at the present time to stop
entirely the brewing Of beer because
Of the possibility Of driving the peo-
pie to whisky drinking. The social
question involved. il is declared. must
be given equal consideration with that
Of food conservation.

PRICE IS CENTS PER POUND

No shortage Of turkeys is feared in
FL Paso for Thanksgiving, local deal

the demand for the dinner fowl is
brisk at So cents a pound, the top
price There will be plenty of stock TO
fill the army's reported order for Co.
600 pounds, well as the orders Of
Christmas.
Due 10 an apparent misunderstood
ing Of local conditions by officials Of
the food administration, FL Paso was
said TO have been threatened by a tur-
key shortage. Most OF FL PasO's sup
ply comes from Las Cruces, Carrizozo.
AlamogordO and other New Mexico
towns. When a request was made by
the food administration that no turkeys
be shipped from Texas out OF the
state, or from outside the state to FL
PasO, il looked as though FL PasO
might suffer. due to the great distance
from the big Texas ceuters-
