"The farmer has been asked to plant more acres to corn, oats, buck wheat, barley and other essential farm 'Tops, but the home gardener mus devote attention to vegetables, and the vegetables should bo those which can be canned, dried or pre served for winter use. It is well for tho people with home gardens to re member that they are their only customers. Over-production of let tuce, radishes or vegetables that will not be available for use next winter is waste at this time. We must not give too much attention to the things we like to eat fresh from the garden, but we must give closer attention to such articles of food that can be saved for the un productive cold months that are be fore us.

MAY 23, 1917; WHISKY TO GO FOR WAR PERIOD Senators Favor Brewing of Beer Because of Big Revenue Washington, May 23.—When the Senate takes up the Gore food bill, dealing with control of the alcoholic output, it is expected that whisky will be dealt a fatal blow. The Sen ate is understood to be ready to vote almost as a whole against the use of grain for alcoholic drinks dur ing the war. What whisky the manufacturers now have, it is contended by the Sen ate, ought to be the limit of supply for the country. While some rabid prohibitionist senators would like to see all alcoholic drink.i cut off, the majority are not disposed to deprive the Government at the time ft needs all the war revenue it can get, of the tax from malted drinks. A senator familiar with present tendencies to attempt to jam through the varied prohibition amendments, informed the press to-day that the majority of senators will not coun tenance shutting off the entire reve nue obtained from the manufacture of alcoholics. Expects Stiff Figlit The Government's revenue from malted drinks, the senator said, is $120,000,000 a year, and an effort will be made to prevenjt them being put on the prohibited list. He ad mitted that undoubtedly there will be a stiff tight for the broadest pro hibition, including beers, but he be lieved the Senate would hold out against it. To put the country upon a drastic prohibition basis would mean cutting off $500,000,000 from the war reve nue derived from alcoholic drinks, almost the biggest item in the entire revenue. While this senator con fessed himself an ardent prohibition ist, ho saw the advantage to the country in putting it upon a modified prohibition basis by allowing the brewing of beers and the output of wine. To shut down on whisky, he said, would deprive the Government of 5 The Bloom of Berries in your cheeks —you can get it by cutting out the heavy, expensive foods of Winter that clog the liver and burden the kidneys.

Y. approximately $380,000,000, but the argument raised was tenable in that it is intended to conserve the supply of grains. Legislation aimed at sav ing the country's food supply, he said, was entirely practicable, even though it took away a large slice of revenue. Hut the. situation on beer and other malted drinks was different, and there was no consideration ot saving foodstuffs. The principal In gredient, he pointed out. Is barley, and that does not form an item of the nation's food.
