This Sentiment Responsible fer

Guarantees Enforcement Of Dry
Laws
Without Legislation the Liquor
Interests Would Have Kept
Nation Wet by Diligently Ex-
panding Trade

The New York Times of March Is
discusses the question of the posi-
oilities OF this country having gone
dry eventually without the aid of dry
legislation. The writer seems to in
Sine to the view that it would
A waiter in ono of the Broadway
restaurants is quoted as saving that
II has been so long since he had
served champagne to anybody at
luncheon that he had almost forgot
ten how to draw a cork.
Business men these days when
they go to luncheon avoid alcohol
and have been doing it for years"
says the waiter. Luncheon is no
festival. 1t is another way of holding
a conference. Men who meet at noon
or Whereabouts, ostensibly to eat,
generally foregather to put over some
deal. They have way of disfguring
white tablecloth with mysterious
. markings and diagrams, all of which
stand for trade and commerce. They
don't care to lower their efficiency by
consuming heavy mixtures.
AT any conference or meeting Of
the large business clubs such as the
bankers. the recess or the downtown
association, drinks are not ordered as
matter OF course. Soft drinks OBJ
tain at meetings OF the hardware men
and even dealers in wet goods. Men
need clear brains in the middle of the
day and after they go back TO their
Offices. They do not care to be
loggy. A man who appears after the
noon hour with a redolent breath is
subject of suspicion"
The writer then sets forth the atti-
tudc OF large manufacturing concerns
toward the men who drink and con-
cludes that drinking customs were
rapidly changing.
All of this is true and maybe in the
course of many years the country
would have gone dry without legisla-
ton. It would not have done so if
the booze interests could prevent it
and it must aforementioned that these
interests were bending every energy
in an effort to educate people to drink
ing habits 1t was this sentiment
manifested in the many ways de-
scribed by the New York Times
writer that brought about the legis-
laton that put the quietus on John
Barlcycorn and that sentiment is
growing stronger every day and will
insist upon strict enforcement OF the
Prohibition laws.
All of which seems to point to the
fact that the opposition to Prohibi-
ton does not come from the people
but from those engaged in the manu-
facture and sale of intoxicants.

used in the manufacture OF kumyss. a
milk preparation. alter Prohibition
takes effect He is quoted in the New
York Tribune as saying, we will
keep our plan intact, as we believe
that the manufacture OF beer will
again be allowed and | do not think
that more than three years will elapse
before this will be the case. In the
meantime we will use our plant in the
manufacture of kumyss, which has
been manufactured heretofore by DR..

are organizing a company to be
known as the Kumyss Incorporated
Company, of which concern Jacob
Rupert will be president and DIR. E.

ration will be manufactured by the
Rupert brewery plant Immediately.
Some new machinery will be installed
though most OF the old brewery
equipment can be used. We will keep
all of our employees and intend to
start an extensive advertising cam
paign for the sale of milk products"
Mr.. Rupert is TO be commended
for his good business judgment in
going into another line of business,
but he is badly mistaken if he seri-
ously believes that the manufacture
of beer will again be permitted with

Dilution Made Up for Increased
Taxation

The increase in 1o01-2 followed the
increase OF cd. per barrel on beer and
far more than covered the extra tax,
and the increase in duty from 25s. per
standard barrel to sos, which came
into force on April !, 1918, has also
been more than covered by the reduc-
ton in gravity imposed by the food
controllers order. During the March
quarter, 1918. the duty assessable
against each bulk barrel in England
