WILL MAKE BUTTER
Brewery Losing Out in Beer Making
Will Have Creamery as One of
Its Adiuncts

The Anthracite Brewing Company
has felt the effect of the decrease in
consumption of its products to the
extent that it is cquipping a portion Of
its big brewery located at Mount Car
mel, Pa, for use as creamery. Ma
lone Brothers, owners of the brewery,
possess a hundred-acre farm near
Fountain Springs, and have herded
there more than 100 well-breG cows.
The products will be transported by
auto trucks from the farm to the COM
bination rewery-creamery and in a
short time butter cheese and other
creamery products will be placed on
the market.
The Malone Brothers declare that If
the worst comes the entire plant will
be transformed into creamery.
War emergency Prohibition would
give Pennsylvania a dandy new
creamery.

THE "WE!TEST" BLOCK
Is RUDELY HANDLED
Six of the Sixteen Saloons in Kansas
City's Notorious Saloon Block Are
Closed; Vigorous Protest Entered
by Saloon Men, But to No Avail

Kansas City's famous "wettest
block located close to the Kansas
border, received severe jolt last
week when the Board of Police Com
missioners voted to close six of the
10 saloons in this block The closing
OF these saloons reduces the number
in the notorious block to the lowest
in many years.
There will probably be reduction
of at least 80 licenses for this year in
the entire city. Last July SIS licenses
were granted. Mayor Edwards voted
against granting licenses to any of
the wet block saloons, saying he fav-
ored closing all of them in view of
the long crime record charged against
them. Many murders and robberies
have occurred in this block in the
years these saloons have been open.
They have been allowed to operate
despite protests of large industrial
plants on the Kansas side and various
organizations on both sides OF the
state line.
1t is said the saloonkeepers to
whom licenses were denied died hard
although told they might seek other
locations. Mayor Edwards issued this
challenge to them: "If you think we
are wrong, go into court and manda-
mus us to compel the issuance of Ii
censes." The challenge was not &C
cepted.
One OF the saloonkeepers affected
made a personal appeal to the board
in which he pleaded poverty and de-
sire to put his three grown children
through college as reason why he
should be allowed to run.

PERSHING ISN'T FOR
Wine and BEER Use
American General in France Explains
His Recent Order as to Intoxi-
cants, Concerning Which Mis-
understanding Arose
Commander Gives Assurance He Fa-
vors Keeping All Booze From
Men in Uniforms; Shows
Difficulties

The liquor interests seized upon
report that came from General Perish
ing and distorted it to coveny the i'm
preston that General Pershing hac
declared himself to be in favor OF thu
use of light wines and beer for on
troops in France. To correct Thu
wrong impression, General Pershine
cableeramrled the War Department al
follows:
The question of prohibiting the
sale OF intoxicants to American
troops is under discussion with the
French government, but of course
there are difficulties here in
France that do not exist in the
United States. The general order
issued December Is was a long
step toward the preventicl of
drinking among our men. 1t was
not by any means intended to con-
vey an injunction to the American
troops to drink light wine and
beer but quite the reverse. 1t
was drawn to conform to French
regulations on the subject. 1t
stated only that light wine and
beer would be permitted, and pro-
hibited the purchase of and accept
ance or gift of whisky, brandy,
champagne or similar beverages.
1t ordered that all drinking places
where such articles are sold will
be forbidden American soldiers. It
is the same regulation made in
France by the British army and
the French.
Although I am heartily in favor
of Prohibition for the American
cxpeditionary forces, the situation
in France and the United States is
not the same. Comparatively few
French people drink water as we
do. They drink wine instead :.

I regret exceedingly that wrong i'm pression regarding our restaurant should have arisen in this city.
 If there is anything that we want to do above everything else, 1t is to help to the utmost of our power and ability to win the war, to do everything possible to back up our boys and our Allies who are giving their life's blood for us in France. We have compiled with every request of the United States Food Administration and the State Food Administration of Alabama from the day those administra- tions were first organized and will con- tinue to do so until the war is won, no matter how much sacrifice it may entail.
 The recent misunderstanding came about through request of the local Food Administration that our restaurant in Birmingham do away with the use of wheat flour entirely until the first of September, a request which 1 would have compiled with immediately, had it been brought to my attention, notWithstand-

Travelling for Health

Is il wise for an invalid to travel for
health? 8 o.
Travel is often highly beneficial TO
the health Cf chronic invalids. The chief
benefits of travel are not 20 be attributed
TO the change Of air or scene in the
majority of cases, but rather to the
change Of habits necessarily involved
in moving about from place to place in
sightseeing. etc.
Many persons who at home take vir-
tually no exercise in travelling. espe-
cially in mountainous regions, find them
selves actually doing as much muscular
work as an ordinary laborer or mecha mic
in performing his daily task This in
creased activity is of the greater benefit
through improving the digestion, bowel
action. strengthening the heart encour-
aging proper circulation os the blood.
increasing the action of the lungs and
blood publication by absorption OF
oxygen and general health promotion.
| Change OF diet Is also in many cases;
OF great service. especially when one
goes on a camping expedition. Heavy
meals with many courses and rich des-
serts are necessarily exchanged tor
simpler bills of fare which give the
digestive organs much-needed rest.
In the majority of cases a correction
OF tho daily habits of life, undertaken
at home, will accomplish far more in a
curative way than may he expected from
the negative benefits derived from travel.
