LESS ALCOHOL IN BEER.
Tmbiber0 Will Find a Weaker Kick
in Beverage

WASHINGTON, Jan. Before the
year 1918 IS very many days old, the
imhiber Of beer is likely to discover
that his fayorite beverage has a weak
II "kick' than he has been accus-
omed to. BY proclamation of Presi-
lent Wilson all beer brewed after Jan.
| is to contain but , 81 per cent of
llcohol, BY the same proclamation the
manufacturers of malt liquors are pro-
hibitcd from using more than 20 per
cent Of the average amount of foods,
fruits, food materials and feeds used
BIZ them during the year ending today.
After Jan | the proclamation pro
vides no person shall use any food,
fruits. food materials or feed in the
production Of malt liquor unless he So
cures a license to do so and complies
with rules laid down by the govern
mcnt to control the production of such
liquor and its alcoholic contents, and
the person shall import any such liz
uor unless under license to be issued
by the treasury department.
The food bill provided for the pro
hibition of the use of foodstuffs in the
production of distilled spirits for bev
eragc purposes, and the use OF food
/ stutls for the production Of distilled
drinks was stopped last September
/ There is, however, in the country from
two to three years supply of wniskey,
Fbrandy and gin and other distilled liq
uors The food bill provides that these
| liquors can be Communicated by the
| government if required for purposes Of
manufacture of alcohol for munitions.
| The requirement for industrial alcohol,
in addition to the normal output from
sawdust and other waste products II
at present negligible.
It should be borne in mind by those
/ who wish brewing entirely suppressed,
/ that if sucl course We're pursued the
\ countr1 would be placed on whiskey
basis entirely and the amount of al
cohol consumed would most probably
Increase. The deairahility of saving
MI the grain used in brewing, from
he poiHt Of view OF food conservation
IS, therefore, limited by the social oues-
tion involved in the exclusive use of
whiskey.

Mercurius.

In the mythology of ancient pagan
Rome Mercurius, or Mercury, to give
the English form of the Latin name,
was the divinity of commerce and gain,
and was identified by the Romans
with the Greek Hermes. A temple was
built to Mercurius as early as B. c.
495, near the Circus Maximus, and an
altar of the god existed near the Porta
Capena by the side of well. His fes-
tival was celebrated on May 25, and
chiefly by merchants who visited the
well near the Ponta Capena to which
magic powers were ascribed.
