Geroapv and Food.

One does not hear so much about
lack of food in Germany any more.
AS soon as the armistice was signed
the German leaders cried out that the
allies must feed the, German people
or starvation and anarchy would re-
suit. Evidently the Germans thought
they were going to get big Dement'S
by surrendering. Now that the var
ious factions are using machine guns
on each other, the leaders don't have
so much times ito think. about their
stomachs. They are trying to grad
the reins of power. 1t seems to %
the fact that Germany is not nearly
so badly off for food as she pretend1
ed To be. While there Is certainty no
abundanse of food and in some places
there may be scarcity, no such fooa
ehortage exists in Germany as IN
Russia aud Armenia. Syria and othef
narts Of tae old T,rNish empire.

Washington, d.. c., Jan. 1S.-The
great battle for the nationwide pro-
shibition amendment to the constitu-
tion practically over, there is looming
iup another struggle which in some
respects promises to be quite as in
tense, that over law enforcement.
| Moonshine whiskey, home made
alcoholics, drugs and all sorts of con
Icoctions to meet the cravings of ap-
lpetites accustomed to drink-these
are going to be the objectives for the
believers in strict prohibition law en-
foroement
Any notion that the antisaloon
league, the organization which has
led the fight on liquor for so many
years, Is now going out of business,
is an error, said officials of that or
ganization today. On the contrary, it
has a great work cut out for it in
seeing to it that prohibition really
prohibits, and that other forms of
stimulants than those dispensed over
the bar do not prove worse evils
than the one on which the country
has placed the stamp of it's disap-
proval.
One agency of the government
at least there is which is not look
ing forward with any delight to the
coming on of nationwide prohibit
+, ton.
This is the internal revenue bu-
reau The enforcement OF the man
date of the people will fall upon it.
according to present indications as
!, 10 the share enforcement law will
take. If the country does not become
Earid. it will be blamed. III.
Officials who for years have
wrestled with the problem of moon
shine liquor in the mountain regions
of the south, who have seen govern
ment agents shot full of holes, are
not anticipating the carrying out of
their task with much joy. They think
that the work they have had on their
hands for years will be multiplied a
good many times
One of their sources of trouble,
they opine, will be hard cider, APP
plaiack, homemade wines, homemade
beers and kindred DISCUSSES of Old
King Alcohol. How to reach these
it Is admitted is a real problem.

Drys in congress are deeply graft
fed over the rapid action of the
legislatures in ratifying the prohibi-
tion amendment. Threats Of legal
fights i'm some of the states are not
looked on as likely to prove effec-
tive. The amendment becomes effec-
ltice one year after ratification.
Stories that returning soldiers VIII
insist on restoration. of wet status
are said by the drys to be absurd.
EThey point out that 1t will be I'M
possible, at least for generations,
to get wet amendment into the
constitution and that is what would
have to be done in order to over
como the amendment which has
reached the goal of ratification.

It is the one safe, sure, vitalizing preparation that you can trust from youth to old age.
