No. 4
House HANDS BOOZE
A FINAL KNOCKOUT
Congress By 287 To 100
Passes Dry Enforce
ment Measure

/ Washington, July 22-By vote of
nearly three to one, the House, weary
of talkson prohibition, to-day passed
a bill for it's enforcement, with pro-
visions and penalties. so drastic as to
bring from the men who framed it the
prediction that it would forever sup
press the liquor traffic on American
soil
! Exactly 100 members-fifty-tw
Democrats and forty-eight Republi-
cans-refused to support it, Against
this even hundred, the prohibition
lists. putting up a solid front to the
very last, polled 2S7 votes.
! A broad smile spread over faces
of prohibition leaders, for their work
I in the House was ended and the
measure was ready for the Senate,
where many of its restrictions may
be modified or stricken out. ClCak-
room rumor persisted that all If this
legislative effort migh, end on the
shoal of a presidential veto, although
the general view was that it would
: be signed and passed.
Opposition is OVcrcOme.
Before the House put the bill on
it's passage one final feeble hand
was reached forth to strike II q 'wu
and put in it's place 4 brieier a.d
more liberal measure. This t.1k the
form of a three-paragraph bill by
Representative Igoe, Democrat, Mis-
souri,. introduced some days ago, and
offered to-day in the form of mo-
ton to recommit, which meant its
substitution for the general enforce
ment measure, if the House saw fit.
But the House did not.
Mr.. Igoe's motion was defeated 225
to 1876, and this vote analysed meant
that at least thirty-siX members who
favored more liberal bill took the
more drastic ones when there was no
other choice.
There was no unexpected reversals
Hustled, Republican, New York, who
in the individual vote Representative
voted as a member of the Judiciary
Committee to report out the bill, was
recorded against it, while Represen-
tative Classon, Republican, Wiscon-
sin, who signed the minority report,
was recorded for it.
Calls Bill Impossible.
Representative, Pou, Democrat,
North Carolina, an ardent prohibit
zionist, voted against the bill, after
having pointed out that a law so Sc
we're as not to permit farmers wife
to make a bottle of blackberry wine
for her own use, never could be en-
forced.

Pop Corn As Food.

Besides being source of enter
tainment for the children, pop corn,
which is the corn kernel cooked
whole, instead of being ground and
then cooked, obviously has a high
food value, as we'll as a good taste
and when properly prepared for the
table it may acceptably take the
place of many of the breakfast foods
now on the market. Pop corn may
be eaten with milk and sugar like
other breakfast cereals, or the parch-
ed kernels which do not pop out
can be ground like coffee, and eaten
with cream and sugar or can be boil
ed with water and served like oat-
meal.

or cattle the world contains prob
ably AIS million head, of which the
United States has about one-seventh'
OF sheep the world contains APP
proximately 500 million head, OF
which the United States has about
One-tenth.
or swine the world contains in the
neighbornoJd of $50 million head, OF
which the Jnited States contains con-
siderabIy moro .han one-third.
In othe: words, swine are less nu-
merous than either sheep or cattle in
the world a large, bu. are more nu-
merous tAaI either in the United
States.
Or the same classes may be consit-
cred in this way:
In cattle ne United States is second
TO India, with three other countries,
Russia, Brazil and Argentina, follow
ing.
In sheep the United States is sec
ond TO Australia, with Argentina,
Russia, and New Zealand, the princi-
pal sheop-raising competitors.
In swine the United States is east
" first, and this year has more hogs
than her 10 nearest competitors all
combined. The closest Of these are
Brazil, Germany and Russia.
So the greater abundance of swine
is perhaps the most noteworthy diff
ference between the meat resources
of the United States and most other
countries.
