B l5 i; I 5fifiVK" FftRKSKE GREATEST VICTORY !t Threshold of National Prohibition Through Ex-, igency of War ' SHORTAGE IN GRAIN CROP Cereals Required for Food Sup plyLiquor Men Argue Treas ury's Need of Revenue . . , WASHINGTON, April II. Antl-llquor forces are standing today on he threshold of their greatest victory. The final drive or the prohibition forces Is rearing completion. For under tho lash f war and economic necessity, the Admln Utratlon Is seriously considering the sup. tresalon of the manufacture of alcoholic liquors for the duration of the war at least. Prohibition and temperance advocates are exerting every pressure known to the rt of conviction to bring this about. Onco the manufacture of liquor Is stopped, once the vast machinery of the distilleries Is knifed, they believe that It will never be fV ai.med. ih Th moral Bide of tho question Is not being considered by the Government om tills. That they believe Is a moot ques Uoh much to be said "for and ag'ln It." But facing a 40 per cent reduction In the Bttlon's winter wheat supply, stringent nmfdlal measures are absolutely essential. "DUYS UltGC PROHIBITION To this end there has been placed before President Wilson and his Cabinet figures 'showing that by stopping the manufacture cf liquor thcro will be an annual saving ' of (00,000,000 bushels of wheat alone. Corn, barley and rye also figure equally ns Im portantly In the production of alcoholic stimulants. It Is known that the matter has been discussed by the Cabinet. Repre sentative Asbury F. Lever, of South Caro lina, chairman of tho House Agricultural Committee, conferred with President Wil son at the White Houso jesterday. A short time before he had been In confer ence with Secretary of Commerce Iledfleld and Secretary of Agriculture Houston. The Department of Commerce has pre pared figures showing Just how much grain would be saved by adopting the nntl-llquor forces plan. It reaches an astounding total. Some sort of drastic action against the liquor traffic Is assured. Of that there can be no doubt. Only the form the action will Uke Is being debated. The liquor forces In Washington have marshaled their forces. They hae pointed ut to the Goernment that If the manu facture of their product Is stopped It will mean the loss of millions and millions of eVlars annually to the national treasury. They hae urged that, with the Uocrnment floating the most gigantic loan in tho his tory of world finance $7,000,000,000 everv dollar In revenue Is going to be needed. They hae put the pertinent question to offi cials of how the Government Is going to make up tho deficit of these stupendous amounts taken away from the Treasury. And no one, they have pointed out, can ac curately forecast how long the world war will last. Tho Government may be sadly In need of "whisky dollars" and every other kind before peace again comes to the fcorld, It Is argued. "SALE" AND MANUFACTURE A form of sop has been thrown to the liquor people by "the argument that the Government would not suppress the "sale" of liquor, but only the "manufacture" In order to conserve tho nation's grain. Of ficials have pointed oiy. to the liquor men that drinks can be imported, but the dis tillers' representatives have countered with the question of "where are wo to get It?" sThe grain shortage Is not national; It Is world-wide in Its scope, and every nation under the sun, belligerent or neutral. Is suffering from food shortage. All are try ing to conserve their grain supplies Two propositions, are before the ad ministration stop the manufacture of liquor or raise the taxes on Its production vto such a prohibitive degree that it will offset, or nearly so, the loss of the grain that goes Into it. Prohibition advocates favor the former; but they feel that In either event they have won a victory In the cause to which Neal Dow and John U. Cough devoted their lives.

Tho housewife probably will want a little bed ot parsley, sage, chives, mint or othef herbs, not be cause they are cxpenslvo to buy, but be causo of tho convenience of being able to pick a sprig Just when It Is needed.
