Distillers Join to
Test Dry Measure
Constitutionalitv
To Start Suits When Peace
Is Signed; Contend That
Food Bill Provision Is
Nullified by Ar1nistice

The Committee of Distilers of the
United States has determined to bring
action against the Collector of In
ternal Revenue and the District At |
torney "in some appropriate district"
as soon as the peace treaty is signed
in an attempt to prove that the
eighteenth amendment and the prohi-
blt'on statute passed by Congress on
November Il last are unconstitutional.
The distillers' decision TO join forces
in such an action was formally settled
upon yesterday at the conclusion of
the organizations two-day convention
at the Waldorf Astoria.
Levy Mayer, chief counsel for the
dlstillers. who advised the course.
stated that the distillers' argument
Will be based upon the fact that the
prohibition statute was passed ostensi-
BY as war time conservation measure.
IT forbade the sale Of distilled spirits
Tor beverage purposes, he said, "after
June 80, 1910. and until the conclusion
OF the present war" But MIR. Mayer
points out, at the tire the act was
passed, the armistice had already been
signed. " was, therefore, the dis
tillers Will contend, bassd upon
false premise. Congress, he maintains.
IN passing the bill at the time it did,
was exceeding the power vested in it,
thus rendering the act void.
Removal From Bond Lawful
Mr.. Mayer holds that under the
food act OF August 10. 1917, the manu-
facture and sale of distilled spirits
and their removal from bond became
lawful when fighting ceased overseas. |
The distillers' attorney also called
attention to the petitions for ref
erendum on the 18th Amendment now
being circulated in twelve states. MIR.
Mayer assured the distillers yester-
day that ratification by the Legisla-
lures will be nullified if referendum
fails to sustain it. In Ohio, he said. |
referendum petition has already been
completed and filed.
At Anti-Saloon headquarters William
IT,. Anderson was busy preparing de-
ing suit Of the brewers for 2.75 per
cent beer.
Suit Will Avail Nothing, He Says
derson, "this suit is going to do these
gentlemen very little good l presume
they are starting it in the hope of
forming basis for some later, wider
action. AS things stand, however, even
if it should happen that they won, they
would be getting only about six weeks
of added grace"
Mr.. Anderson declared that there was
no question but what Representative
Volstead's one-half Of one per cent bill
would be overwhelmingly passed in the
House.
Lawyers for the brewers refused to
consider this measure seriously, how
ever.
III It were passed. said one of
them, "it would be Immediately set
aside by the Supreme Court In order
to set the alcoholic content which can
be legally called Intoxicating it would
'irst be necessary to establish pretty
clearly just how much alcohol is needed !
to get man intoxicated" He added
that many soft drinks, so-called, have
an alcoholic content Of three-quarters

THE VALUE OF DRUGS -
QUALITY VERSUS PRICE-The
value of drugs should be measured
by their quality and not by their
price. Good drugs are sometimes
expensive. Cheap drugs are apt to
be still more expensive, because
poor drugs are worse than worth
less-they are often harmful.
We sell only good drugs-the
kind that are effective in curing
sickness and disease. The quality
OF our drugs is of the highest, for
we buy only the best that can be
had.
Prices are always as low as good
drugs can be sold for anywhere.

Cabbage Worms
BY z. w. WEsLER.

At this season, green worms that at
largest size are about an inch long.
are chewing holes in the leaves of cab
bage, caulifiower and kohl rabbi plants.
These pests hatch from eggs laid by
the common small white butterflies
that are noticed in numbers about the
garden all summer.
Where the home gardner has only
half dozen plants, the worms may be
picked off by hand and crushed. Pick
ing must be done frequently since the
pests will continue to hatch out and
feed throughout the summer.
The best method of control is to
spray the plants with powdered arse
nate of lead as soon as the first small
worms are noticed. Use six level ia
blespoonfuls of the arsenate to a gal
lon of water, adding small piece Of
SOAP to each gallon and make the
spray stick to the leaves.
If desired the powdered lead may
be mixed with eight to ten times its
bulk of lime and busted on the plants,
when the leaves are wet with dew.
Spraying or busting should be started
early so that the worms may be poi
soned before they get a chance to do
much damage.
Some gardeners fear the use of ar
senate of lead on their cabbage be
cause it is a poison fatal to human
life as well as to bugs" when it is
taken in sufficient amount However,
when it is remembered that the cab
bage head grows from the inside. and
that the poison strikes only the outer
leaves which are removed when pre-
pairing this vegetable for the table, it
is easily seen that there is no danger
in using arsenate on cabbage Under
ordinary circumstances 1t would be
necessary to eat a bushel of cabbage
before enough of the poison that is on
the outer leaves of the head would be
absorbed by a person to cause death
II gardeners do hesitate to use ar
senate of lead late nthe season when
the cabbages are heading" good
substitute is a much milder poison,
aheHebore." This material may be
used as a dust, diluting 1t with five to
ten times is bulk of -four or lime; or
as a spray at the rate OF one ounce
IN gallon of water

DO YOU KNOW that it was Sam
DO Jackson, a negro confectioner
in New York, that invented Ice
cream about a hundred years ago?
The story goes that custards were
Jacks speciality. One hot day he
put a tin of custard In bucket
of cracked ice to cool it. OF course,
the custard froze. Jackson tasted
1t, made some more, liked 1t, so did
his customers, and finally he evolv-
ed the frozen custard into modern
Ice cream, selling it inquart tins at
a dollar tin.
1t Is rather a lengthy story how
inventive geniuses have worked on
machinery, manner Of service,
electra, electra; suffice 1t to say,
however, that ice cream has be-
come the national dish.
Statistics tell us that last year
over two hundred and forty-five mil
lion dollars were spent for ice
cream in the United States. That's
175,244,270 gallons of ice cream and
makes a little over five billion six
mlllOn Q1SneS.
The first ice cream soda was
served in Philadelphia In 1874, by
Robt. Green, now senior member
of the firm Of Green & Sons, man
ufacturers of soda fountains.
The ice cream cone was born
only Is years ago at the World S
Fair. St Louis. and gets credit for
a still wider spread of the ice cream
business. If our memory serves us
rightly, we read that over ten bill
lion persons we're helped" via the
cone route last year. .......t
KICKS-A particular customer
we don't mean the chronic kicker
lis often blessing in disguise
to a business.
The reason is that, after all, the
one big boss of a business is the
customers. --.:
A business and its product OBJ
viously take on the character Of the
customers, and usually particular
customer is a particular boss-one
that gets things done in a partic
ular way, a quality way.
The discipline he infiicts soon es
tablishes a habit of carefulness
which betters the quality and ser
vice throughout a whole business
organization.
And if everyone hates complaints
then they do their work in such &
way as to avoid them.
