Guarding the Whisky Supply.

There are nearly 6o.ooo,oo0 gallons Of
whisky left in bond in this country, with ex-
ceedingly poor facilities for protection. for
which the owners take the risk. In case It
is stolen. as several thousands OF gallons have
been since Jan. 16, the owner not only loses
the goods but is compelled to pay $40 per
gallon revenue the government assuming with
good reason that the liquor has been with
drawn" for beverage purposes
1t is estimated that half million gallons
a year will be all that will be needed for legit-
innate medicinal uses. In other words, the
supply will last 120 years, at the probable rate
OF consumption. So it is not surprising that a
movement has been started for the government
to provide place for keeping the spirits and
to arrange for an adequate guard. II the cost
OF protection is assessed against the liquor and
added to the price, it is clear that there will be
some really fancy quotations on wet goods
along toward the middle Of the next century.
Guaranteeing the safety Of the whisky sup
ply for the period named involves great deal
OF responsibility. One hundred twenty years
is also long time for the owners to wait to
get their money back.

II you are cold and selfish and re-

cheating yourself out CT much that

marries for her loving heart and
