Show I I THE LAST OF THE 5 BREWERIES. $ Brewing of beer stops tonight nt midnight in the United States. This is a war measure decided on months ago, but just put into effect. X It was intended as a food and fuel saver during the war period. With , the war virtually over, the brewers sought to have the order rescinded, but the special committee to study the 1 subject refused to make a recommen- dation and the breweries must close. ; With nation-wide prohibition in -m sight, the order will work no greater jj hardship on the brewers than is con-.'; con-.'; templated in the wiping out of the In- dustry, except to close the beer plants some months earlier than otherwise would have been required. America is approaching the day C when the whole country will be either "dreadfully dry" or "delightfully dry," according to the individual's -way of seeing things. |
