BREWERIES ARE NOW
MAKING FOOD STCFFS

The experience OF those states
which have gone bone dry" has
proven to the business concers OF
5ther states that strict prohibition is
a great business asset and there is no
stopping the great wave for reform
in the line of the elimination of Ii
quor.
Every argument of the liquor man
ufacturer and the liquor retail seller
has been knocked out by improved
and bettered business conditions and
the argument OF the manufacturer
that great plants will stand idle has
proven to be a false statement.
The great breweries and distiller-
been converted into mills and con-
densing and evaporating plants, and
where once beer and whiskey flowed
and was made, cereals are now man
ufactured the grain going into food
instead of into intoxicating liquor.

W saved and the cost to the consumer
lessened. In the Spokane section
great breweries have been converted
into milk condensers and in other
sections potato processing plants have
been created. In Salem, Ore. one OF
the greatest breweries OF that state
has been converted into plant for
making LOU" a delicious, health
full temperance drink. and the plant
is now employing more people and
using more raw material in actual
dollars and cents than in the days OF
the brewery. A double purpose is
being served more food products are
being saved, the grain and malt that
went into liquor and beer and the
cost OF food cheapened

WYOMING LEADS ALI STATES
IN NUMBER OF SHEEP

That Wyoming is the leading state
of the Union in the number of sheen
is shown by the official figures com
piled since the beginning of the year.
with the first of last year, that wy
oming has made a slight gain in the
number Of sheep. while the United
States as whole, shows a slight de-
crease
The nearest competitor of Wyom
ing is Montana. but this state leads
its neighbor on the north by over
500 900 head. Idaho stands third
Az is natural. the largest number of
sheep are found in the western and
southwestern states. but there are
some states usually regarded as east
ern which make creditable show
ing. notably Ohio. with more sheen
than Texas, California, Oregon or
Utah, all usually regarded as range
states
Wyoming. Montana and Idaho all
pass the three million mark with the
