...little Paraguay the blow was staggering. She has exported her "tea" (yerba mate) almost exclusively to Argentina. Other nations do not like it. Last year a campaign to launch Paraguay tea in New York as "a new drink with a.new kick" petered out. The brew is not alcoholic. Aghast last week, Paraguayan statesmen realized that whereas Paraguay has been accustomed to drink two-thirds of her tea she may now have to drink...
Senator Thomas James Walsh, legislative specialist on Oil and on Power, returned to Washington last fortnight from a private business trip to New York to mix a fresh brew of political news. Just before the Senate recessed for the holidays he introduced a resolution providing for a Senate investigation of the Colorado shale-oil charges leveled against the Department of the Interior by Ralph S.

The idea that men cannot obtain drinks in those places where there is a real demand for liquor is ridiculous. The workman can and does drink. He may prefer to make his own home brew, but if he does not there is ample opportunity to get what he wants at prices that he can or will afford. We do not subscribe to the idea that all speakeasies cater to the rich. The back room behind the corner grocery store in the average working community...
