Beer Not Interfered With In New
War Schedule

war SCneCule.
Washington.-War time prohibition
was brought one step nearer Monday.
A provision to suspend the distilling
of whisky during the war by impos-
ing prohibitive war tax upoa the use
of grain and syrups in the manufac-
ture of distilled liquors was adopted
by the Senate finance committee
which is drafting the war revenue bill.
BY the adoption of this compromise
between the liquor interests and the
prohibitionists the proponents of the
measure in the Senate hope to avert
the passage of the legislation totally
prohibiting the use Of foodstuffs in
the manufacture of any alcoholic bev-
erage during the war. Under the
terms of this proposal the brewing of
beer will not be interfered with.
The Senate committee amendment
provides that in addition to the tax
imposed by existing law on distilled
spirits there should be levied. collect
ed and paid on the material from
which such spirits are manufactured
after the approval of this act the fol-
lowing:
"On all molasses, syrups or substi-
tutes therefore, tax of $5 per wine
gallon
"On all grain, cereals and other edi-
$50 per bushel of fifty-six pounds"

KIDNEY REMEDY ;
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

There is no medicine which we handle
that gives such good results as your
Swamp Root. Many of our customers
have informed us at different times that
they have derived great benefit from its
use.
There was one case in particular which
attracted a great deal of attention in this
neighborhood early last Spring, as the
gentleman's life was despaired Of and two
doctors treating him for liver and kidney
trouble were unable to give him any re-
lief. Finally a specialist from st. Louis
was called in but failed to do him any
good ! at last induced him to try your
Swamp-Root and after taking it for three
months, he was attending to his business
as usual and is now entirely well. This
case has been the means of creating an
increased demand for your Swamp Root
with US.
Very truly yours,
L. A. RICHARDSON, Druggist.
