meat sandwiches, cheese sand
wiches, pie, cake and cookies are
all in evidence with lemonade, ice

THE GREAT AMERICAN GULLET

The great American gullet, after the
shocks and surprises of the first few
months of repeal, when all manner of
strange and fiery drinks were poured into
old pre-prohibition preferences. In recent
weeks, Dr. James NJ. Doran, former pro-
hibition chief and now Administrator of
the Distilled Spirits Industry, has noted a
steadily increasing demand for blended
rye and bourbon WHISTLES. In the last six
MONTHS rye and bourbon blends have
definitely been established as the favorite
American drinks.
Before prohibition more than seventy
per cent of the whiskies consumed in the
United States were blends. In the first
flush of repeal however, the public con-
fused the term with the bootlegger's prac-
tice of cutting, and there was curious
demand for straight WHISTLES, which tempt
ed some distilleries to rush green liquor
but recently distilled, into the shops.
The blending of whiskey, like the
O1CiAuihS Vi COIIee, tea, champagne or TO-
bacco, is more or less of an art. No two
concerns do it exactly the same. Some
particularly nowadays when there is lit
tie matured whiskey in the distilleries
operating in the United States, use for a
base, whiskey that is immature and mix
it with sherry or neutral spirits
Other concerns, more eager to build
an enduring reputation for tomorrow than
to get rich quickly today, used as the base
of their blends one or more full-bodied
WHISTLES which have been aged for at least
four years in charred oak barrels.
One company alone holds in excess of
100000 gallons of Canadian whiskey.
which is five years old and more. Con-
siderable quantities of this liquor are be-
ing imported for use as the basis of blends.
1t is serving to tide over the years that must
elapse until ryes and bourbon distilled in
the United States since repeal have at
tanned a decent maturity. The green
straight WHISTLES poured into the watts after
repeal set in are only raw distillates as vet.
but some of them have been artifically
colored and shipped to retailers
The authorities state that in order to
be sure of what you are drinking, make
certain that the base of the blend is ma
tured whiskey, emanating from the ware
house of q reputable firm.

SUCCESSFUL FLoRIDIAN
Tampa Tribune)

What would you do if you suddenly lost your
family and S3.45 cash? Ask the government to
take care Of you?
About two years ago a fisherman was burned
out down at Naples The fire took everything that
he owned-clothes, nets, fishing gear and furniture
He faced the world with a wife and nine children
with $345 as his entire capital But he didn't cry
wolf to Uncle Sam. Ronald Halgrim tells his
experience, in the Fort Myers News-Press.
Instead of begging for charity relief, che
took his courageous little brood into the woods
near Slater, in Lee county, and started life all
oyer again. First he fashioned palmetto matched
hut to keep off the rain. Cabbage palm buds and
fish furnished foodt while the house building was
going The children did not need MANY clothes
out in the woods. With most of his $345 capital
the harried husband bought vegetable seeds and
vegetables went to feed the under-nourshed chill
dren, some were traded for eggs and few store
groceries. More seeds were planted and soon the
hard working bread winner was selling surplus
vegetables to neighbors and getting enough cash
to buy clothes and send the children to school, The
children of school age went to Bayshore. Neigh
bors helped some but most OF the time this family
helped themselves. The fire was two years ago ::
the family still live in the matched house but the
husband has saved enough money to buy second
hand truck and is farming four acres of land
and well on the way to make even better living
for his family.
"Of such stuff" the writer remarks "were
our first Americans made. Hats off to the hard
working husband-but we have an idea that his
wife was really the heroine of the story, so hats
of to the entire family"
This is a success story even if his success has
not reached the extent of providing town and coun-
try estates and steam yachts. Quite number of
other Americans like him live in Florida.
