BRITAIN TO REDUCE
BEER MANUFACTURE
Comptroller of Food Declares
ingredients Are Needed for
Table Necessities.

LONDJN, JAN, 25.-In order to r.
duce the consumption OF foodstuffs
by brewing, Baron Davenport, the
food comptroller, has decided that the
quantity of beer to be brewed for the
year, beginning in April shall be re-
stricted to seventy per cent, OF the
output OF the previous year. This
means that only 100000 barrels OF
beer will be produced, about half the
output OF the year preceding the war.
Baron Davenport, in explaining the
object of his order, said the restric-
ton must not be deemed a measure Of
temperance or social reform The
fact is" he said. "the barley, sugar
and other ingredients used in brewing
are required for food In fact, II 10
really a question of bread versus
beer"
The order OF the food COMPTROLLER
will withhold from beverages 2s6,OOO
tons OF barley and $4,000 tons OF
sugar The order will also increase
the available supply of labor for In
dustries OF national Importance.
The measure mas received the APP
prevail OF the war cabinet, which has
decided that corresponding restric-
tions shall be placed on the release of
wines and spirits from bond
