Public Kitchens Now
Feeding the Germans

Amsterdam. Nov. 1.-The public kit
chens established throughout the Ger
man empire since the beginning of
the war would now be able to supply
fod for about one-fourth of the pop
ulation, according to a statement pub
lished by the German war office. 1t
would appear from this statement
that there was 1900 such establish
ments in the Empire and that the or
binary capacity amounted to the pro-
duction In a recent month OF 2,5O0, 600
quarts Of food.
There are in the German empire
563 communes having 10000 or more
Inhabitants each. Only about so of
these now are without public kit
chens. The majority of towns report
establishments providing mid-day din
ners only, although all the kitchens
are equipped for supplying at least
two meals daily
In Berlin there are now Sc public
kitchens. The number of persons who
obtain food from them fuctuates in
a remarkable manner. In recent
weeks the number of participants has
averaged about 10000 daily.

"Of the 100000 bushels Of grain.

eve believe that when the pupf,c
knows the facts it will not think
harshly of the members of the liquor
trade. Aided and abetted on the Sly
by the willy Anti Saloon League, great
publicity is being given information
relating to the increased prices on
WHISTLES, beer and wine, but no mem
ton is being made of the increased
cost of making these beverages.
.'Whiskey was made formerly of
corn costing SO cents to go cents a
bushe1. Since January, 1917, the price
of corn has ranged up to $2.55 per
bushel in distilling centers, an in
crease of over 400 per cent.
1.-THE same is true of all grain used
by brewers and is true Of the grapes
and fruits used in making wine. La
Dor and all incidental expenses such
as cooperage, casing, bottling, etc,
have increased greatly. Now as to the
taxes on these beverages, which were
increased by act of Congress, October
4th, whiskey was formerly taxed
$1.10 per gallon, and today we have
to pay an additional tax of $2.10 per
gallon. making $500 per gallon. Beer,
formerly taxed $3.50 per barrel now
is taxed So per barrel. Wine, accord
cents to rs cents per gallon, on wine
containing more than ri per cent of
alcohol. Over that they pay the same
tax as spirits.
Cigars, cigarettes and tobacco and
| many other articles sold by retail Ii
quor dealers have enormously increas-
ed in price.
Back of all this, the distilling of
| whiskey has been prohibited during
the war. The stock of whiskey now
in bonded warehouses is the smallest
in many years. Naturally those who
own these Whistles are asking full
prices for them.
when a man engaged in any
other line of business raises his prices
as natural result of increased taxes
by the government and of a tremen-
dous increase In the price of raw ma
terials, the customer, while grumb-
ling a little, promptly produces the
necessary money, and expects to pay
it. But when the liquor dealer tries
to break even by the same method

already ascertained.
