USE OF GRAIN FOR
BEER BARRED OCT. |
BUY Liberty Bon

Washington, Sept. 20.-Beer will
be banished as a wartime beverage
two months earlier than had been
planned by a proclamation signed by
President Wilson.
The proclamation will prohibft the
use Of grain materials in the manu-
facture of beer after Oct. l J. An earl
Ter presidential proclamation liked
the date as Dec. i. 81
It was understood the purpose OF
the presidential order was to con
serve stocks OF corn and rice. which
have been largely substituted for bar
ley In brewing.
Under the terms of the new procla-
nation, however, brewers will be per-
mitted to utilize stocks Of malt and
hops on hand for manufacturing of
beer during the period from Oct. !
to Dec. 1. .
This, with the stocks now on hand,
will provide a stock OF beer that will
last probably. three months after all
manufacture Of beer ceases on Dec. 1,
or, in other words, it will still be pos
sible> to get beer over the bar in wet
territory until about April l M
Not only beer but the variants of
nearly beer" are banished by the
new prohibition against the use of
grain materials in manufacture after
Oct. /. When the stocks on hand are
consumed, beer will go out OF exist
.ence for the duration Of the war.
Food administrator III. G. Hoover
estimated the breweries nave a three
months supply now in vats. Hereto
fore 1t has been the practice to revive
this old beer periodically by adding
some new beer to prevent its becom-
ing fiat. =" There will be no new
beer to add when manufacture ceases,
and unless carbonated water can be
made to revive the old beer thes last
few months supply likely will remain

Marshal Gen. Crowder has announced
orders to local draft boards which
will permit the voluntary induction
of draft registrants into the navy and
marine corps and provide for drafts
Of men to be assigned to those sery-

The order quoting sections of the,
man power law which make the term

LIKE NUST OF OLD WAS
BATTLE WITH BAYONETS
By FRANK ]. TAYLOR

United Press Stan Correspondent
With the Americans East Of
Rheims, Aug. 10 BY Mail. Ut is
not often. that trench warfare permits
a gladitorial contest in which both
sides look on. This is tale Of a
fight which belonged to the 0lden
days.
In southern regiment one dare
devil of the infantry. perfectly sane
and sober, suddenly told his compan-
ions, II want me boche. want
to meet him single-handed, fight him,
whip him, get a souvenir from him,
and come back with him.
They tried to persuade him not to
{ go out, but no luck.
He followed his strong southern
will across No Mans Land, scouting
carefully until he came to a clump
OF bushes, one of the few shrubs left
in the well shelled area.
There, by some chance, he came
face to face with German, who evil
dentially had not seen the American
approach. The boche was a Prus-
sian and a good man physically.
With bayonets they went at each
other, sparring, feinting, jabbing, the
Americans looking on through obser-
vation glasses and holes. Probably
the Germans were doing so too,
though they did not shoot. probably
fearing they would hit their own
man.
After some minutes of fighting, his
Buddies saw the American drive his
bayonet into the German who fell,
evidently killed.
The American stopped over the
Prussian, true to his word that he
would bringisin souvenirs. Then he
started back for his own trenches.
Instantly a rain OF bullets came
after him, and he fell. His COM
rades. thought he had been killed, and
were for going over after the Ger
mans in revenge. A cool Of
ficer restrained them
Then they saw their gladiator
crawling to the trenches, wounded.
Forgetting risks, a couple Of his pals
rushed out and brought him into
the trenches, where they bound up
his wound, not a serious one.
We'll, / got my boche," he said,
"But he almost got me, and then they
did, the towards. Got some souvenirs
He procured the Germans watch

President Wilson announced last

Bisbee daily review., 1918-11-24

The coats being shown are general ly of the loose straight cut, half long in the case of tailored costumes. I'm mense collars are on every sort of cape and coat, usually of fur but sometimes of striped bands of the cloth. In the whole collection a bright vivid green is the leading color.
 A new embroidery which is achieved by the use of soft tiny feath- CTS mingled with colored silk threads. It is shown in green mousseline de soie, and on black and white. Then too, it is extraordinarily effective on warm brown satin and brown voile, done with brown and gray silk, and feathers of the brightest imaginable blue. An odd fringe cut half yard deep into the cloth is very new. The inch wide slashes are lined with cloth and stitched at the sides Some of the fringe is cut in meautifully lowered embroidered satin in slashes of the same length and depth and the edges are preserved by a picot edge. The labor involved in such lavish work must be enormous.
 A cape lined with black satin made of black velvet and corded 20 inches deep with seal fur and a great seal fur collar may lie flat like a cape or button high to the ears. This cape

Neighbor, neighbor, how art thee?
 Very well, l thank thee;
 How's thy neighbor next to thee?
 Not so well, as I can see.
 And what woman does not glory in being neighborly?
 These days of conservation may be a bit trying with substitutes and doing without what she has always done with; but the spirit of running in next door with loaf of bread, pie, pud- ding or a bit of dessert is the essen tial part of almost every housewives s life.
 And this is what the American homemaker must do for the allies she must run in with her loaf of bread, her meat and her sugar, etc.
 This makes the problems of the kitchen a joy instead of task; and the food she saves can be shared with ones allies.
 What housewife will refuse to play the game,
 Get busy so that when she asks the question: "NeighbOr, neighbor, how art thee?" the answer may come back "Very well, thank thee"

s SAUERKRAUT
 The Friendly Enemy.
rO-Gernlan?

Is sauerkraut pro-German?
 No, it's the friendly enemy-which means you can make and eat this de- lectable dish without injuring your pa triotism in any way.
 Its origin is Dutch-and the ingre- dients are American, so go right ahead with your sauerkraut.
 The cabbage in it is fresh from the garden you have been cultivating all summer, and it is exactly the kind of food that the food administration asks us to eat, because it is home grown, perishable, and not one of the staples that we have to send abroad.
 First cut the heads of cabbage into long fine shreds, and put them into a big jar in layers, with salt sprinkled between. Then mash each layer down with a hard wood weight.
 After 20 days the process of curing will be completed if bubbles have ceased to rise at the edges of the jar.
 It then is ready to be served either raw or cooked.
 Many families are fond of sauer- kraut, but they object to the odor

MT. Ed. Piggott, miner at the CZar shaft of the C. & A. Mining company, is in receipt of an article written by his brother, It. Wm. Piggott, who en- listed in the army railroad corps. The article follows: T want to first try and impress upon your mind some of the wonderful work that the Y. M. c. A. is doing here, as l am somewhat familiar with conditions in Negaunee, and realize what little the people in the U. S. A. have seen of the work of this splendid organization, and per haps are not fami1ar enough with It to appreciate the greatness of it's mis- sion. One of the things that, in my opinion should first be recognized, is the way the workers go about spread ing the American gospel of doing good for humanity. They are teach ing the young people here the Amer ican ways Of living and are slowly, but surely, getting them away from their former barbarOus habits and manners. You, perhaps, do not know and would not believe that the two cheapest things in the Orient are human life and womens morals. The change has got to be brought about among the younger generations. There is no use trying to do anything with the old people, as they are far beyond redemption This work is not going to take only a year, but several of con- stant hard work, and while we may not live to see the fruits of their labors, nevertheless the seeds are sown, and will bear fruit in time. The American people are to be praised
