While treasury and department of justice branches concerned with pro -1 hibition are planning to dry up “high power beer” sources under a permit Under Secretary Winston, of j the of political treasury, is fighting for an avalanche pressure in the new enforcement machine. The various field marshals are confi- 1 dent, however, that their battle lines will hold. Assistant Secretary Andrews, of (h e treasury, and Mrs. Mabel Wille I i brandt, assistant attorney general, has devised a new brewery permit system, and have arranged for clos I er co-operation between their depart i ments for more rigid prosecution of I prohibition law violators. “Every potential brewery” begin¬ ning operation without first obtain ,n K a federal permit will be construed as outside the law, and these plants will be watched to determine wheth er beer of more than the legal alco¬ ' holic content—one-half of 1 per cent by volume—is removed from them. Elimination of delay in prosecution of cases is to be sought by employ¬ ing periodic reports from prohibition agents, indicating the progress of various actions in court. Under the reorganization, the state prohibition directors are to be sup¬ planted by regional directors, and these few positions, paying up to $7,- 500, have brought forth several con¬ tests. They also have developed sug¬ gestions that the enforcement areas be changed to group states differ¬ ently than as planned, but Assistant Secretary Andrews is unwilling to revise his program, which has the full approval of President Coolidge and Secretary Mellon.

GINGER ALE IS PET TOPIC OF BRYAN AS HE RESTS BETWEEN ROUNDS IN COURT Dayton, Tenn., July 14.—It is not of evolution, or religion, or text books that William Jennings Bryan talks as he relaxes between the rounds of the evolution battle in the soothing shade of a giant magnolia tree. He talks about his pet brand of giner ale, of cold water, the value of a piece of ice to an orator and the munificience of nature in creating palm leaves for fans—these and oth er topics such as ru nthrough the mind on blistering days. “Do you know,” he observes, “that when I am addressing an audience in a particularly warm hall, I take a small piece of ice about the size of a pullet’s egg. I put it in the palm of my right hand and hold it tightly. Then I shift it to my left hand, hold¬ ing it in either hand for about five minutes. “Then I pass my cold hands over my forehead. I have always found this very effective.” His “Trick Shirt” And then there is his “trick shirt.” It is an invention in which he and Mrs. Bryan combined forces. That portion of the shirt that usu¬ ally contains a collar band is cut away and a neat white band is bast¬ ed in a low V-shape. The sleeves are cut at the elbow, after the fashion of a tennis shirt. Bryan is one of the few men of Dayton who depends upon his belt to keep his trousers up. The others fa vor galluses, And, although he still speaks cold water as his favorite drink, he has his own recipe for gm ger ale and tries to keep a supply of his favorite product on hand.

(Incorporated) ] FRUITS AND PRODUCE COMMISSION MERCHANTS 207-209 TWENTY-FIRST STREET Pittsburgh , Pa. July 7th, 1925. / John H. Jones, Editor, Leader-Tribune, •p i Fort Valley, Ga. My dear Mr. Jones: I have been receiving an advertiser’s copy of The Leader- - Tribune, and inasmuch as we have so many good friends at Fort Valley, we naturally have been looking the paper over each week. I think it is only due you to, take this occasion to write and tell you that Fort Valley ought to be proud of your paper.

My particular brand is made without sugar, confides the com mandmant in chief of the forces of antievolution, It has a tang, an in vigorating, refreshing flip which fills me with new life. With this he mops a perspiration beaded brow with a handkerchief of ample proportions and waves a large palm leaf fan. He looks upon the palm leaf as another proof of “the great eternal plan of adapting all na ture to man’s use. “It is only further proof of the great goodness of God, he concludes, , with more fan flourishes, | Bryan finds methods of : 1 many re laxation, of which the easy chair be j neath a giant magnolia is but one. Visits Drug Store. He is frequently seen sauntering along the many shaded country roads, uncoated and with his now famous “sun hat.” He passes the time of day with everyone and is a daily visitor at the drug store where it happen ed.” Invariably his order is either gin¬ ger ale or water. He has learned to eat “hot dogs on the half shell,” a dish native to this section. The general atmosphere in and around Dayton is extremely relaxing to one engaged in so arduous a strug¬ gle, he says. At the end of almost any day you may find him beneath his favorite magnolia—and, here, it is not of the evolution arguments that he is likely to talk, but of cool drinks, cool j starts smake and such hot weather conversation topics . ^ up any average on Main street.
