HOLDS REED LAW
BARS BOOZE EVEN
FOR PRIVATE USE

Washington, Jan. 13.-The su-
preme court held today that the
Reed Bone Dry" prohibition
amendment prohibits interstate
transportation between states of in
toxicating liquor for beverage pur-
poses even when intended for per-
sonal use.
Justice McReynolds. in dissent
ing opinion concurred in by Justice
Clarke, declared the Reed amend
ment was not an interstate COM
merce regulatory measure, but a
direct intermeddling with a states
affairs and beyond federal power.
AS interpreted by the court, the
law nulliffes state statutes permit
ting limited amounts of liquors to
be brought in for personal use.
The opinion was rendered in pro-
ceedings brought by the govern
ment under the Reed amendment
against Dan Hill, who was charged
with taking a quart of liquor into
West Virginia as the state laws per-
nit. The lower court dismissed the
Indictment holding that the liquor
had not been transferred in inter
state commerce within the meaning
of the law because it was intended
for Hills personal use and not for
trade. This decision was reversed
today and the case remanded.

We can say with good deal of as
surance that the health of half of
the working population of Washing
ton in 1916 was impaired by made
quate diets. The food regulations,
and to far greater extent, the
increased prices of food, particular
ly meats, meal and flour have modi-
fled greatly the dietaries of Ameri-
can workingman'S families. From
all the evidence at hand it seems
probable that these changes in diet
have resulted beneficially rather
than harmfully To the health of our
working population. Real wages
have probably not fallen. Budget
schedules indicate a falling off in
the use of meat and an increase in
the consumption of vegetables.
This, and the fact that flour is now
made from the whole wheat, some
times apparently. stalk roots and all
would indicate that the war has left
US dietetically better off than it
Sound us"

an expenditure for food of not less
than % cents per day. Retail prices
of articles of food weighted accord
ing to their Importance in family
consumption increased by about 40
per cent from 1907 to 1916. Add
ing 40 per cent to % cents gives US
81 cents per day, equivalent to about
$113 per year to feed an adult male.
Surely this is not an extravagant al
lowance for food per man even in
that golden age when strictly fresh
eggs could still be bought for 3
cents apiece and round steak for
% cents a pound. Yet, of the white
families with incomes ranging from
$1,000 to $500. more than one-fifth
spent less than S112.50 per annum
per adult male for food, while 50
per cent of the colored families in
this income group spent less than
that much.
Taking all income groups to-
gether, half of the white families
GAO spent less than $137.50 per
adult male for food and rs per cent
of the colored families (314) spent
under that amount.
From my study of the Washing
ton schedules l conclude that MAX
ing a proper allowance for unavoid-
able waste, a diet sufficient both in
amount and variety to maintain a
workers family in reasonable
health and comfort, would cost not
less than $137.50 per adult male
per annum in 1916. Even this liber-
allied allowance for food does not
permit of extravaganza in buying
and wastefulness due to ignorance
of the fundamentals of the trans
cendent art of cookery.
Changes Benefit.
Half of the white families of
Washington spent less than S1375O
per man for food in 1916. Hence
