Bread and Beer

Six States have now ratified the ma.
tional prohibition amendment. Mon.
tana is the latest to take the decisive
action The tally stands Mississippi,
Virginia, Kentucky, South Carolina,
North Dakota, Montana. Thirty rati6-
catious remain to be effected. One
sixth OF the road to national prohibition
has already been covered. 1t is not
without interest to remark that i'll the
first three legislatures to ratify the
amendment the aggregate vote in favor
of ratification was 333, while the total
vote opposed was but IS preponder-
ance of prohibition sentiment of I to 1.
This is a significant hint of the tone of
the public mind on the question of the
elimination of alcoholic drink.
While the necessarily slow process of
legislative ratification of the constitu
tional amendment is in progress there is
another and more immediate pressing
aspect of this great question that de.
mands attention The food problem
that confronts this country is artificial one.
We must feed our allies. That is one of
our most vital functions in the great war.
Meanwhile we must not starve ourselves.
That way lies national inefficiency.
As people we have responded cheer
fully and intellectually to the propos
ais of our Food Comptroller as to personal
sacrifice in the use of foodstuffs. Thrice
week we go without wheat products;
thrice week we go without meat; once
a week without pork. We have learned
to mix with our precious white flour
The Breckenridge news. (Cloverport, Ky.) 1876-1955, 1918-03-06

other cereal products for the making of
war bread. We are glad to do our share
in the saving of the wheat flour to 90
across the seas tor our soldiers and our
allies.
But there IS still a gap in our pro-
gramme of saving. Nationally speaking
we are still using great quantities of
cereals in the brewing of beer. Fifty
million bushels of barley went last year
into the breweries to be DESTROYED as
food for the making of drink and several
million bushels of corn and rice. What
we drink we cannot have to eat
1t is by no means necessary to argue
that beer drinking is an unheathful or a
reprehensible practice in order to con.
tend that in time like this the drinker
of beer should make at least an equiva
lent sacrifice of his refreshing glass on
behalf of the general food supply. He
should make it all the more cheerfully
since he is only fraction, greater or
smaller, of the community. Not all of us
drink beer; but every one of us eats
bread New York Sun.
