LONG BATTLE
ON DRY BILL
FACESSENATE
Substitute For Norris Rider
Is Hurriedly Introduced by
Senate Committee

Washington, July "a new bone
| dry" prohibition measure. prohibit
| ing the manufacture of beer and
wines after November 4. and the
| withdrawal from bond or sale, except
| for export, of whisky and other dis
| titled liquors after December 81 of
this year. was substituted for the
| Norris rider to the food production
| bill by the Senate Agriculture Com
mittee yesterday
The action of the committee was
taken at a meeting held hurriedly in
the morning. when it appeared that
the food-production bill. which is now
before the Senate. faced defeat.
The Norris amendment would have
eliminated beer within three months.
while 1t permitted the sale of whisky
for a year. Much of the opposition
to the "bone-dry" rider was based
upon the terms of the rider, which
gave such a long lease of life to
whisky, while 1t shut OF beer almost
| Immediately.
The substitute amendment was re-
ported to the Senate as follows:
That after December 81, 1918, un-
til the conclusion of the present war.
for the purpose of conserving the
manpower of the nation and to in
crease efficiency in the production of
arms, war munitions, ships. food and
| clothing for the Army and Navy, 1t
shall be unlawful to sell for beverage
purposes any distilled spirits, and
during said time no distilled spirits
held in bond shall be removed there
from for beverage purposes except
for export. After November l, 1918,
until the conclusion of the present
war, no grain, cereal. fruit or other
food product shall be used in the
manufacture or production of beer.
wine or other intoxicating malt or
vinous liquor for beverage purposes.
After December 81, 1918, and until
the conclusion of the present war no
beer. wine or other intoxicating malt
or vinous- liquor shall be sold for bev-
erage purposes except for export.
The Commissioner of Internal Reve-
nue. is hereby authorized and direct
ed to prescribe rules and regulations,
subject to the approval of the Secre-
tary of the Treasury, in regard to the
removal of distilled spirits held in
bond, after December 81, 1918, for
other than beverage purposes. also in
regard to the sale and distribution
of wine for sacramental, medicinal
or other non-beverage uses. After
the approval of this act no distilled,
malt, vinous or other Intoxicating
liquors shall be imported into the
United States.
ANY person who violates any of
the foregoing provisions shall be
deemed guilty of misdemeanor, and
upon conviction thereof shall be pun
ished by a fine not exceeding $1,000
or by Imprisonment not exceeding
one year or both"
The prohibition battle in the SEN
ate will probably be long drawn out.
as a filibuster has been launched
against the food-production bill by
the vets. The substitution of the
new amendment for the Norris rider,
however, has gained votes for the
drys, the Prohibitionists claim, and
an early vote may be forced.

IL VICTIMS OF
U-BOAT OUTRAGE
RESCUED AT SEA
Augvald Grew Had Been
Eight Days Helpless in
Small Boat

An Atlantic Port, July s.-Rescued
when almost dead from hunger and
exposure after being adrift at sea
| for eleven days in a small boat,
! eleven survivors of the Norwegian
steamship Augvald, the latest known
victim of the Hun submarine pirates,
| arrived here yesterday on a trans
Atlantic liner which had picked them
up in. midocean on Independence
| Day.
Three days ater leaving the side
of the Augvald the small boat over
turned and three of the original
fourteen were drowned. Another
small lifeboat in which Captain Egge
and twelve other members of the
Augvald's crew escaped is missing
and it is believed that the men have
been lost.
Fifteen minutes were allowed the
crew of twenty-seven men to take to
the lifeboats. AS soon as they had
cleared the ships side the Germans
hung bombs at the ends of ropes and
swung them over the sides of the
Augvald. To these time fuses were
attached. The Germans then left
I the ship and as they pulled away a
terrific explosion occurred and in a
few minutes the Augvald went down.
Storm Separates Lifeboats
For two days the lifeboats kept to-
gether, when they were separated by
| storm. What became of the cap
tain's boat and the thirteen men
none of the survivors know. The
boat containing the survivors was in
charge of the chief engineer.
Eight days of torture and suffer-
ings followed. Every particle of food
and water had been lost. Not an oar
nor a life belt was left. Finally a
vessels smoke was seen. The men
watched it as only castaways can
watch such vision, and when spars
and funnel came in sight and it was
seen that the vessel was heading for
the lifeboat they stood up in the
boat and waved their sou'westers.
But, apparently. those on board
the steamship failed to see the ship
wrecked mariners and passed on
their way. For the next six days the
men were kept alive by eating sea-
weed and drinking water caught in
their caps when it rained.
Aid Comes at Last
According to an officer of the res
cuing vessel. the lookout on the res
cuing ship on tn emorning of Inde-
pendence Day sighted off to the west
what appeared at first to be log.
The course of the vessel was chang
ed, and the object gradually took on
the shape of a small liefboat. A
closer view showed the eleven men
huddled IN the bottom. Two or three
of them lifted their heads feebly and
ATTEMPTED to stand up, but they fell
back into the bottom of the boat
A lifeboat from the liner was then
lowered and all hands were brought
on deck.
The men had almost abandoned
hope of ever seeing land again, when
the liner came into sight.
The Augvald, formerly the steam
ship Alala, was built in Sunderland,
England, in 1898. The vessel reg
istered 3,406 tons gross, 2,09S tons
net and was $40 feet long, As feet
beam and 1873 feet depth to hold
The owner was Akties Augvold, of
Haguesand, Norway.

FOR INDIGESTION
III. G. Kennedy Has Treatment That
He Guarantees to Promptly
Relieve All Stomach Distress

People go on suffering from little
stomach troubles for years and
imagine they have a serious dis
ease.
They over-eat or over-drink and
force on the stomach a lot of extra
work.
But they never think that the
stomach needs extra help to do ex-
ira work.
If these people would take a Mi
o-na tablet with or after meals It
would be a great big help to the
stomach in its strain of overwork.
Mi-o-na tablets help your tired
out stomach to do its work and
banishes the cause.
No matter what you eat .or drink
Mi-o-na tablets should sweeten your
sour stomach and stop gas belcnins
in 10 minutes. The heaviness disap-
pears and the stomach is greatly
aided in its work of indigestion.
And Mi-o-na not only promptly
relieves all distress but If taken reg
ularly will absolutely Danish indi-
gestion by building up the 1abby

Blanes for Women.

One of the speakers at the retail tradesmen school Ut the Astor house in New York predicted that men's neektieS would run to glaring colors next season. Like all men, since the days of Adam. he laid the odium upon the women, so many of whom have taken the places of men clerks. These women he says, are bound to show the young man who comes to buy the pink and glaring blue "creations" and they of course, cannot dispute the opinion taht such colors are just their style, and so having bought will have to wear the gay neckties.

FIGS

Figs for canning should be sound and firm. Sprinkle one cupful of soda over six quarts of figs and add one gallon of boiling water. Allow the figs to stand in the soda bath for five minutes. Drain and rinse thoroughly. Bring two quarts of sirup, made by using three pounds and nine ounces sugar to one gallon of water, to boil ing and add the well-drained figs. If desired the amount of sugar may be reduced. but it is not advisable 10 at tempt the canning of figs without any sugar at all.
 Allow the fruit to boil in the sirup for one hour. Place the fruit carefully in the jars and then fill 10 overtoWing with the sirup. Partially seal jars.

APPLES

Apples shrink more in canning than most fruits, and for this reason should be blanched for one minute. Plunge them into cold bath, then pack. Cover with q sirup made of II ounces of sugar to one gallon of water and process quart jars 12 minutes. Other sirups can be used in place of q part of the sugar usually required.
 This method of canning apples is not economical, because the apple is juicy and needs no water added. A better method. perhaps, is to make Il sauce out of the apples. This may be done by steaming them until tender and passing them through the sieve. Allow one cupful of sugar to each gal lon of pulp. Reheat until the sugar is dissolved. pack hot in sterilized jars and process quart jars F minutes.- United States Department of Agricul- ture.

The best sweet peppers for canning are the Spanish varieties known as pimentes. The fruit of these peppers has very thick fresh. tough skin, and is comparatively smooth and free from ridges.
