Clinton, Ontario important Legislation The following announcement was issued on Saturday last and was read from many of the pulpits on Sunday. It was good news to many who have labored long and faithfully for the curtailment of the privileges of liquor manufacturers and sellers: Ottawa, Dec. 23.—Offibial announce- ment was made by the Prime Min- ister on Saturday of the prohibition of'• the importation of intoxicating liquors into Canada after 1Eonday next. The only exception is in the ease of purchases made before that date. The transportation of intox- icating ntoxicating liquor into ang part of Can- ada where the sale of such liquor is illegal is prohibited after April. 1st next, and it is also announced that the manufacture of such liquor "with- in Canada" will be prohibited on and after a date to be determined upon. Tlie announcement reads : "On December 17th the people gave to the Government an unmistakable mandate for the vigorous prosecution of the war and. for the employment of all the country's energies and re- sources necessary to achieve victory. It is essential, and indeed vital, for the efficient conduct of the war that wasteful or unnecessary expenditure should be. prohibited, and that all ar- tides e.apable of being utilized as food should be censerVed, It is beyond tp scion that the ides .of liquor effects adversely 1410 reltlieetion of this p.ut- pose.

'Fhe entire production in France this year of cereals, potatoes and bent -root was only 222,000,000 hundredweights as against a produc- tion in 11018 0l 358,000,000. From this it is evident that with the most rigorous raticn'ng, France will re- quire to import during the coming year not less than 40,000,000 hun- dredweights of cereals. It lips chiefly with the North American con- tinent ontinent to make up this shortage. The Food Controller is being given authority to license dealers in food supplies, and a general plan of licensing is being prepared. ISblore it is applied to any particular trade, representatives of—that trade will be consulted. A sestem of monthly, returns from all wholesale dealers in fish has been instituted by the Food Controller and willbe the basis for regular statis- tical market information, which is expected to be beneficial to the fish trade of the Dominion. An investigation is being conducted colder the direction of the Food Con- troller into the poultry situation. A study is being made of such questions as the cost of producing eggs and Poultry and of the cost of feeding. The whole subject of the exporta- tion of milk from Canada to the United States has been taken up with the United ' States Food Administra- tion.
