TWO OR THREE DAYS IS
LIMIT IN BALTIMORE

Max Cooney, a booze dispenser in
Baltimore Md. must undergo the Sc
we're penalty OF having his saloon
closed for two days-namely July 10
and L. for violating booze selling
regulations. The saloon IS located
at Is East Cross street The license
was taken out by Arthur Y. Martin,
but Cooney Is running the place un-
der a special permit from the license
board until the license can be trans
fcrred. Two minors entered the dis
pensary and were served liquor. They
are alleged TO have represented them
selves 10 be over q. For thus falsi-
tying, the young men were both fined
$40. Cooney's part in the deal costs
him the profits OF two days business.
While this grief is being doled out
to Cooney. Abraham Z. Levine, with
a liquor bar at $500 Light street
was ordered to close his shop for
three days-July IS, 10 and 17-for
employing a minor in his place of
business. These institutions in COM
ing under the official wrath add ex-
cellent argument to the value % of
regulation.

Detroit's experience has proven be-
yond a possibility OF doubt that the
wage carriers do not insist on their
beer as the price of their loyalty, and
that instead of Prohibition causing
any industrial revolution or disorgan-
ization it, on the other hand is a
most valuable contribution to indus
trial efficiency, higher productivity
and conservation of manpower-all of
which are of very vital consideration
to our cc"rtrv in these war times.

one Of the greatest steps to this end
is an army in which millions of young
men will not taste alcoholics for long
periods, and in which the alcoholic
habits and cravings so readily estab-
lished in many susceptible youths will
fail of creation through lack of oppor-
tunity. After the war is over sober
millions will dof the uniform and go

When Prohibition really forces law
breaking, it forces it only through al
coholics who represent a later or fiL-
ished stage of the rum-seller's hand
work. The liquor men themselves are
responsible for the undermining of So
cicty by which the drug addicts they
Lave produced act in opposition to
law and honor. They and their trade
have brought about this artificial deg
radiation which they now attempt t.
use in the effort to prove the liquor
business inevitable, if not necessity.
Fortunately, the condition is one
which time will settle, and that rela-
lively soon. Under Prohibition the

Detroit is the largest city in Amer

l OF this year. A great number OF
our leading industrial concerns are
working on immense contracts for
war material. 1t will, therefore, be
seen that the experience of our large
industries as touching the point raised
in the objection of the shipping board
to Prohibition is not only valuable
but conclusive on this point
There is no division of opinion

MILK VS.. BOOZE

w. Z. Skinner, general manager Of
the national dairy show, in an inform
al talk with newspapermen, declared
that the big steel companies over the
country, particularly in and near Chi
cago, are selling milk at cost to their
to prevent them from going
to the corner saloon to buy booze. He
said:
Men soon go to pieces who drink
liquor after working over hot fires.
The fire starts them on the decline
and booze finishes it."

FLOUR ORDERS
GIVEN BAKERS

The urgent necessity for conserv-
ing wheat is realized by many peo-
pie who are dependent upon the
commercial baker for their bread.
For this reason the national food
administration has sent several
pamphlets to Rock Island bakers
which contain the general regula-
lions which govern all licensees and
the special license regulations
which govern manufacture of bak-
cry products. By violating any of
these regulations, the bakers IL
cense will be revoked.
In letter sent to the producers,
the food administration urges that
the bakers do not increase their
business to use less than the
amount of wheat allotted, that rolls
containing more than one-third
wheat flour be eliminated entirely,
that three-quarter pound loaVes of
bread be sold instead Of pound
loaves and that only bread Of class
5, containing one-third wheat be
made for hotels, restaurants, board
ing houses and all other public eat
ing places.
The food administrator also ap-
pealed to the bakers that they save
wheat by using rye flour and rye
meal in addition to white wheat
substitutes. Flour substitutes that
can advantageously be used in
bread making and other bakery
products, were explained in this
correspondence othe bakwers.
correspondence to the bakers.
Formulas and recipes were also en-
closed.
A request was made that these
formulas be used IN a small way
so that the products may fill the
demand. Bakers are encountering
certain difficulties regarding the
equipment, manufacture and trans
portatiOn of these products, but
they feel that these difficulties are
only a part of their patriotic duty
and that they must overcome them
in order that the scant wheat -four
supply may be made to last until
the next harvest.
Several bakers have already
started in making wheatless bread.
This product contains oatmeal, rye,
bran, rice flour and corn -four and
will sell at Is cents a loaf. At a
recent state meeting of the bakers,
Food Administrator Wheeler of I'LL
nois explained that unless wheat
-four be reduced to 20 per cent bak-
ers would be forced to close their
doors on June Is.
