Illinois to Decide at Primary
Twenty-seyen states have already
adopted Prohibition. All of these are
expected to ratify the amendment as
soon as their Legislatures meet. Some
of the remaining states are nearly dry
under local option. The Legislatures
of number of partly wet states are
committed to dry legislation. In Hi
nois the result will be determined by
the Legislature nominated at the pri-
mary elections on September II, 1918.
1t is certain that Illinois will be the
scene of one OF the most 6ercely con-
tested campaigns for national Prohibi-
ton.
The list of the p states not already
dry is as follows:

Brewers Will Not Be Permitted to
Make Beer Containing Over 234
Per Cent Alcohol

On December IL, President Wilson
signed a proclamation limiting the
alcoholic content of beer manufac-
tured after January l, at ~ Pc, cent.
This is reduction of one-quarter of
one per cent from the figures set by

in brewing shall be reduced to an
amount, approximately 20 per cent of
the amount of grain formerly used in
the brewing of the same amount of
beer
The proclamation further provides,
no person shall use any food, fruits,
food materials, or feed in the pro-
duction of malt liquor unless he se-
cures license to do so and complies
with rules and regulations to be issued
by the government.
