LIMIT ALCOHOL IN
BEER TO 3 PER CENT
! Food Administration to Cut Grain Used
Won't Stop Brewing Lest Peo-
| pie Turn to Whiskey.

W WASHINGTON, Nov 27.-Orders re-
ducing the alcoholic contents of beer TO
three per cent will be issued soon by the
food administration with the approval
of President Wilson. At the same time
the amount of grain used by brewers
will be cut down approximately 80 per
cent, although the volume of beer will
not be decreased
In making this announcement last
night the food administration points out
that since there is in the country two
or three years supply of whiskey, if is
undesirable at the present time TO stop
entirely the brewing of beer, because Of
the possibility of driving the people to
whiskey drinking. The social question
involved, it is declared, must be given
equal consideration with that of food
conservation. Of this problem the
statement says:
"The food bill provides for the pro
hibition of the use Of foodstuffs in the
production of distilled spirits for bev'
eragc purposes and the use of food
stuffs for the production of distilled
drinks was stopped September S. There
is, however, in the country from two tc
three years supply of whiskey, brandy
J and gin and other distilled liquors. The
food bill provides that these liquors car
be Communicated by the government II
required for purposes of manufacture OF
alcohol for munitions On the other hand
the requirements for industrial alcoho
! in addition to the normal output from
sawdust and other waste products is a.
present negligible.
1 ''Those who wish brewing entirely
suppressed should therefore bear il
mind that if such a course were pur
sued the country would be placed on
whiskev basis entirely and the amour
of alcohol consumed most probably
would increase.
1.-THE desirability of saving all III,
grain used in brewing from the poin
of view OF food conservation IS there
fore limited by the social question IN
volved in the exclusive use of whiskey.
The regulations viii provide for al
increased output of cattle feed from
brewing establishments.
