The new decision becomes eflfective immediately for all wines

such products actually manufactured prior to the adoption of the

compliance with either Food Inspection Decision 109 or Food In-

made were actually manufactured prior to the date of this decision

against saloons because of the fact that the saloons are purely re-

sorts for men. The women say, 'What is there in the saloons for
me ? What do I get out of them ? I can not even aee what is go-

ing on in them.' This is a very immoral view to take. It is the

view of the grafter. It is the view of the greedy persons who can

see no good in anything unless 'there is something in it for them.'

Women of this class are easily appealed to by the prohibitionists.

All that is necessary to win them over is to play on their selfish-
ness. It is true that there is nothing in a saloon for a woman. But

there is nothing in the millinery store or the ice cream parlor for

a man. We find also some among women who think: 'It may be

good to close the saloons and my husband or my son cannot get a
drink any more.' With these women the prohibitionists, when

they came with their petitions, find it easy to niake converts, and
many a vote has been lost for the liberal party, in this way. If
men would plan to close millinery shops to prevent their wives and

daughters from buying costly hats or close the candy stores to

prevent them from buying confectionery they would be considered

very miserable. Yet, they would be no worse than the women
who would close saloons to prevent their husbands and sons from
getting drink. The women may argue that they do not see what
good drink does a man. Many men can not understand what good

a $20 ostrich plume on a woman's hat is. But it really is imma-

terial whether or not the women understand what good a drink is
or whether the men understand what good an ostrich plume is. It
is simply none of their business. If women would be liberal they

ANOTHER OF THE UNIQUE SOUVENIRS OF CHARLES
MEINECKE & COMPANY.

ANNUAL CONVENTION OF THE KNIGHTS OF THE
ROYAL ARCH.

The Knights of the Royal Arch held their annual convention at
Fort Bragg during the second week of June. The convention wa.s
one of the most notable ever held and was a complete success in
every way. Very important steps were taken to fight the State
amendment for State prohibition at the coming November election.
For four days the delegates present were busily occupied in the
consideration of measures for the improvement of affairs in the re-
tail liquor business and as a final act they took steps to raise suffi-
cient funds to make their fight at the coming election.

The liquor dealers are perfectly satisfied that the prohibition
amendment cannot carry next November, but they will not leave
any stones unturned to make the defeat of the measure so unquali-

fied that it will likely not be brought before the voters again for

many years.
At the conclusion of the session a grand banquet was given to

the visiting delegates and many members of the community. All

the officials of the town, including the mayor, were present and in
a neat speech the order was complimented by the executive lor the
orderly and gentlemanly conduct of the members of the delegation
during thir stay in the town.

Through a resolution passed at the convention, the Royal Arch
decided to affiliate with the National Retail Liquor Dealers' Asso-
ciation of the United States. They felt that affiliation with kindred

associations is necessary in these times of trouble.

San Francisco was selected as the meeting place for the 1915

convention.

The following officers were elected to conduct the affairs of the
organization during the coming year: Valiant Commander, D.

Knabbe of Oakland ; Lieutenant Commander, J. W. Salter of Los

.Angeles ; Treasurer, Theodore Gier of Oakland ; Grand Orator, E.
J. Mulvey of Sacramento; Grand Recorder, F. J. Rooney of San
Francisco ; Master of Ceremonies, F. A. Nuesberger of Napa ; Cap-

MR. MUNSON G. SHAW VISITING PACIFIC COAST.

Mr. Munson G. Shaw, head of the house of Alexander D. Shaw

& Company, one of the largest importing firms of America, arrived

in San Francisco from the Eastern States during the latter part of

the month of June. One of the purposes of Mr. Shaw's visit is to

personally investigate the conditions affecting his important inter-

ests on the Pacific Coast. Mr. Shaw speaks enthusiastically of the

affairs of the San Francisco branch house of his firm and describes
them as being highly .satisfactory, the conditions being due to the
energetic and efficient methods of the Pacific Coast manager, Mr.

Edwin Hammer. The head of the house of Alexander D. Shaw &

Company is a man of fine apearance, his presence producing in his

environments that optimism which ensues from a genial personality.

As Mr. Shaw is well informed as to the status of the trade not only

in the United States, but throughout the world, it is cheering to note
that he anticipates a marked revival in trade in California immed-

iately following the election on State-wide prohibition in November

next.

This product of the Goodway Brothers Manufacturing Company

has many distinct advantages over similar preparations. It con-

tains no acetanilid, which has the effect of depressing the heart no
;

bromides, which are habit-forming owing to action on the nerves;

no caffein, which is also habit-forming; no ingredient which results

in reaction. It does contain, after effervescence, an excess of bi-

carbonate of soda, which neutralizes a sour stomach ; a dose of pep-

sin for every teasp)oonful, which will digest all the food in an over-

loaded stomach; a sufficient quantity of oil of peppermint to serve

as an excellent stomach tonic, and enough oil of spearmint to make

it popular because of its flavor.

Pepso is not only valuable for the relief of headache, but it is

excellent for indigestion, cramps, seasickness, flatulence, sour stom-

ach, heartburn and similar ailments. It will cure eight out of ten

headaches by putting the stomach right and thereby removing the

most frequent cause of headache, stomach disorder. Goodway

Brothers Manufacturing Company, whose general sales agent's

office is at 681 Market street, San Francisco, reports an extraordin-

ary increase of sales during the past three months. The general

agent has 18 representatives in the field, which extends eastward

from San Francisco to Chicago and southward to New Orleans. In

all the big cities a regular agent is established. For the next few

years San Francisco will be the center for the sales of Pepso, which

is generally recognized as one of the most delicious eiTervescent

beverages within the reach of consumers.

annually a return of approximately $30,000,000. The industry

supports 75,000 persons. The breweries of the State represent an

investment of more than $50,000,000 and give employment to 4,000

workers, whose annual earnings total $6,000,000. There is con-

sumed annually by the breweries $1,000,000 worth of California

barley, $175,000 worth of California hops, and $2,500,000 worth of

other essentials. They pay the general government an annual

revenue of $1,350,000 and an equal sum to towns and counties.

Two hundred and eight-two thousands persons are employed

or dependent on those employed in the manufacture and distribu-

tion of liquors. In the business of distribution alone $10,000,000

are invested, and the annual license tax paid is $3,000,000.

In California the history of the wine industry begins with the

coming of the padres, those splendid sons of the Church who

blazed the trail for civilization and set up missions from San Diego

to Sonoma and made glorious the early pages of our history by
their noble work. It was they who planted the first vines and so

gave start to what is now one of our greatest industries. Indeed,

so great has become the industry, and so far-reaching its interests

that the State itself has seen fit to establish a school of viticulture

in connection with the University of California.

Already we are shipping wine as well as fruits to most parts of

Europe, and with the reduction in freight rates which will follow

the opening of the Panama Canal, a still greater field for exporta-

tion will open up.

It may be urged that this is only a material view of the case,

leaving out the moral considerations, but if it be conceded that the

temperate use of light beverages is not an evil, then the moral con-

siderations are not a part of the issue, and the material develop-

! ment of the State assuredly is.
