LIMITS BEER STRENGTH
TO THREE PER CENT,
Order Restricting Amount of Alcohol In
Beverage VIII BE Issued Soon.

Washington, Nov. 26.-Orders reducing
the alcoholic content of beer to three per
cent. will be issued soon by the food adj
ministration with the approval of Presi-
dent Wilson. At the same time the
amount Of grain used by brewers will be
cut down approximately 30 per cent. al
though the volume of beer will not be de-
creased.
In making this announcement tonight
the food administration points out that
since there is in the country a two or
three years supply of whiskey. it is unde-
sirable the present time to stop entirety
the brewing of beer because of the posi-
bility of driving the people to whiskey
drinking. The social question involved,
It is declared. must he given equal consid-
Grafton with that Of food conservation. OF
this problem the statement says
THE food bill provides for the prohib-
tion of tho use of foodstuffs in the produce
ton of distilled spirits for beverage pur-
poses and the use of fOodstuffs for the
production Of distilled drinks was stopped
September s. There Is. however, in the
country from two to three years supply
of whiskey brandy and gin and other dis
Tiled liquors. The food bill provides that
these liquors can be Communicated by the
government IL required for purposes OF
manufacture of alcohol for munitions. On
the other hand, the requirements for in
dustrial alcohol in addition to the normal
output from sawdust and other waste
products is at present negligible.
Those who wish brewing entirely sup
pressed should therefore bear in MIND
that If such course were pursued the
country would be placed on a whiskey
basis entirely and the amount of alcoho
consumed most probably would increase
''rhe des!rdbillty of saving all the grair
used in brewing from the point of view
Of food conservation is therefore limited
by the social question involved in thu
exclusive use of whiskey."
The regulations will provide for an in
creased output of cattle feed from brew
ing establishments.
