APPETITES CHANGED
Because of Prohibition, Says Noted
Caterer

The day OF the famous bcefsteak
dinner has gone, according TO Gilbert
Cowan, President OF the American
Caterers Association, at the opening
of the Hotel and Restaurant Equip
ment Exposition at the Chicago
Colosseum. lie declared that salads
and sweets are taking the place of
beefsteak and heavy foods on the
menus of men since Prohibition went
into effect. Continuing, he said;
"Never before in the history Of the
world have mems palates been so
sensitive and particular, Food must
be better prepared and better sea-
soned, and of better quality. 1t must
be more dppetizing than in the days
when one or two pre-dinner cocktails
stimulated jsded appetite"

The country can not conceive of
the magnitude of the blessings OF
Prohibition during this period Of bust
ness and industrial depression with
tens OF thousands OF men idle. Were
our cities full OF saloons, the story
of this period OF unemployment would
be entirely different. Think of the
difference in conditions in Ohio were
Saloons worse than wasting more than
500, 100000 a year as was the case
before they were closed by Prohibit
ton.
1t is fact we'll known that in for
ner similar periods many of the idle
men congregated in the saloons.
They drank more than was good for
them. They spent money which their
families needed Under the influence
of liquor their grievances were mag
nihed. Booze made them rebellious.
They were right and the other fellow
was wrong, The more they drank,
the less sense they had to meet criti-
cal conditions There were industrial
disturbances riots, destruction OF
property, and bloodshed. The wild
labor agitators and the saloon formed
dangerous combination
Remember what happened at East
Youngstown a few years ago when
men, crazed with liquor, carried buck
cts OF beer in one hand and torches in
the other, and lives were lost and
many thousands OF dollars worth of
property destroyed? Remember how
in the old saloon days when there
were strikes and riots, authorities

A. 0. N. P. ENTHUSIASM RUNS HIGH
Names of Patriots() Expected to
Overthrow Prohibition Amendment,
Announced

T. Dewitt Cuyler, president of the
Philadclphia branch OF the Associa-
ton Against the Prohibition Amendr
rlent and prominent official of. the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company, has
announced the names of the executive
committee of the outfit working in
his section OF the country to over
threw the Constitutional Amend
ment. The report is also given out
that enthusiasm OF the new organiza-
ton is running high. Plans are being
made to hold two enormous mass
meetings on the same night, one in
the Academy OF Music and the other
in the Metropolitan opera house. and
it is also expected that there will be
pulled off a great demonstration in
the form OF parade through the cen
trial section of the city. National
officers OF the Association predict that
when this Philadelphiz parade comes
off it will be the largest one in the
country.
/ All these wet paradcs are large un-
til the actual count is made of those
in line The country will not soon
forget that 100000 half million
were to parade New York streets on
the Fourth of July, but by actual
count there were little over $4,000
i'll line and large percentage of them
were Foreigners.

RIGHT IN THE OPEN
Prohibition Was Not Brought About
in an Underhanded Way
&C. P. Connolly in Philadelphia
North American)


Let me cite few facts as a re-
hinder to the citizen who honestly
thinks that Prohibition was the pro-
gram OF few narrow-minded zealots,
enacted overnight in some sort OF un-
derhanded, unworthy way.
Before nationwide Prohibition was
adopted, majority of the American
people residing in threefourths OF It's
territory had voted for Prohibition
over and over again, and had adopted
it as a permanent policy.
When the nation adopted it, it was
really a majority of the people speak
ing for the nation.
Before nation wide Prohibition
state Prohibition laws were passed BY
popular vote in twenty-one states o.
the Union. and by legislatures i'll {
number of other states
In several OF the states where thu
law was passed by the legislatures
it was afterwards approved by thu
people at the polls.
Prohibition has had the approval o
the population OF those states where
it has been longest tried.

to evade the responsibilities of mar
riage. The magic OF the uniform and
the going away of the boys to war
were responsible for many hasty,
mis-ht marriages, and the aftermath
is now seen in divorce courts and the
Court of Domestic Relations.
The lessening of the number OF di-
vorces because OF Prohibition is not
great enough at this time to over
come the increase due to the war and
unsettled conditions generally.

STIFF CINCINNATI FINE

Cincinnati Judges are awakening to
the fact that the way to stamp out
illicit selling is TO assess heavy fines,
The heaviest penalty ever imposed in
the municipal court of that city for
the violation OF the Crabbe act was
assessed the other day by Judge Yate-
man when he fined Paul Nagi total
OF $1,000 and costs on charges OF hav-
ing made and possessed liquor.
Judge Waterman also urged the dis
trict detective to continue to break
up such harmful practices. 1t ruins
the health and eventually destroys
the sight"

HOTEL CAFE PATRONS
DEMAND BETTER FOOD

A Chicago dispatch OF July
; quotes Gilbert Cowan, presi-
dent OF. the American Caterers
Association who is to be one OF
the speakers at the opening of
the American hotel and restau-
rant equipment exposition IN
the Coliseum, July lilo, as
saying that salads and sweets
are taking the place of beef
steaks and heavy foods on the
menus of men since Prohibition
went into effect. One OF the
important questions that will
come up before the hotel and
restaurant men at the Coli
scum meeting, Mr.. Cowan says,
will be that of "the changing
palate
He said:
Never before in the his
tory of the world have
+, mems palates been so SEN
sitive and particular. Food
must be better prepared
and more carefully sea-
soned and of superior quail
ity. 1t must be more ap-
petizing than in the days
when one or two pre-
dinner cocktails stimulated

HIT EN- HARD

Two or three weeks ago six brew
cries in New Orleans were raided by
agents of the federal government and
were found to be manufacturing real
beer. Uncle Sam was soon busy and
as a result of his efforts, these brew
cries must pay fine of more than
100000 and even then the govern
ment does not promise them IMMUNE
ity from prosecutions on the charges
OF having violated the Volstead law.
