Waterbury Republican,

The homemade drinks such as Ci- der, elderberry and blackberry wine and grape juice will be permitted under the wartime and national pro- hlb1tion enforcement act. The senate has so decided, and representatives of the dry forces say that they will make no attempt in conference to eliminate the concession. But after these gentle homemade drinks have stood about for a while and villain ously allowed their alcoholic content to rise above one-half of one per cent they may not be legally trans ported or sold or otherwise made an article of commerce. All that their owners can do with them will be to use them at home.
 That will give the farmer and su- burbanite distinct advantage over the city dWeller. City people who have country relations may be ex- pected to develop a sudden fondness for them next summer. Uncle Hiram who has hitherto been looked upon as good deal of hayseed and whose occasional trips to the city have caused his nephew no little em- barrassment will suddenly be found to have considerable virtues after all His farm, too, will become a most attractive place to spend a vacation, or even a week Uncle will find his city relative developing an un- suspected interest in the flora of the country and will be surprised, per haps by solicitous inquiry as to the prospect of the grape and cherry
 crop, the blackberry and elderberry outlook, and the effect of the winter on the apple trees
 Uncle Hiram, who is canny soul, will probably not be slow to capitalize his new popularity. He will see to it that his cellar is we'll provided with ~all the beverages that may be man. ufactured from the indigenous flora. He will welcome his nephew--and any other boardors that a little ju- dicious advertising may be able to bring him. He and his neighbors,
 who have always shown keen con- ] sciousness of the possibilities of profit in separating the summer boarder from his cash, may be expected to cultivate this field with redoubled in tensity. Where, in a few years, will be the farmhouse without it's quota of boarders and it's stock of grateful beverages?

A Soldier on Prohibition.

Sept. 3, 1919. Editor Herald:
 Dear Sr:-In both editions of your have read pieces on prohibition and wish to say I quite agree with Sin cere" an, would like to have you publish this answer to Dr. Mann if you will.
 Most people take things for grant, ed, one of the many things is that the soldier is the most suitable being to place all sorts of credits or dis credits upon.
 Having been a soldier for nearly three years, and eighteen months of that were spent in France in the present campaign, wish to state that prohibition did not win the war. I don't believe that there is one person who does not know tha t. Prohibition was not enforced until July 1st, 1919, fully seven months aft CT hostilities ended.
 Every soldier who saw service in France either directly against the enemy or in the $. o. s. will agree that prohibition was a joke.
 Here in America the soldiers were dissatisfied while where the fighting took place, wine and beer were plenti- full and stronger drinks also. The French gave their soldiers a daily ration of wine, and at times cognac, while the English received rum and we had whatever we chose
