Editor of The Reformer:-
| read with interest the statement
of John E. Gale, relative to the bill in
troduced by Mr.. Durham, and agree
with the sentiments expressed.
The Dunham bill is simply bill for
the rich man, and makes it more diff
ficult for the laboring people to accom-
modate marriage ceremony with their
occupation. In every other country all
means are being tried to encourage
matrimony, and I sincerely hope that
this legislature will not throw a wrench
into the matrimonial machinery.

Food Controller Says 1t is Question Of
Bread Against Beer.

~ASiu A5dAuSJ beeT.
LONDON, Jan. 25.-In order to re-
duee the consumption Of foodstuffs by
brewerics, Baron Davenport, the food
controller, has decided that the quan-
tity of beer to be brcwed for the year
beginning in April shall be restricted
to 40 Per cent of the output of the
previous year. This means that only
ls,OO0,OOO barrels of beer will be pro-
duced, about half the output of the
year preceding the war.
Baron Devonport in explaining the
object of his order said the restriction
must not be deemed a measure of tenn
perance or of social reform. "The fact
is, ~ the food controller continued
the barley, sugar and other ingredi.
ents used in brewing are required for
food. In fact, it is really a question OF
bread versus beer
The measure has received the an.
proval Of the war cabinet, which has
decided that corresponding restrictions
shall be placed on the release OF
wines and spirits from bond.
