Root Beer.

With the tardy arrival of warm weather the
contest over root beer is renewed. The facts seem
to be that while the materials sold contain
alcohol than apples or grapes yet if they are put
together according to directions alcohol will be
formed. The Inland Revenue Board reported to Par
lament that of four hundred and twenty five botanic
beers (root beers) and other temperance beverages
which analysed, more than half contained over
the legal two per cent of proof spirit the range
tending from trace up to twenty-five per
cent.
The formula accompanying the "Root Beer Ex-
tract calls for four pounds Of sugar in five gallons
Of water fermented with yeast. DR.. A. T. Neale,
director of the Delaware Agricultural Station says
that this woud yield alcoholic solution Of about
the strength of lager beer say 4.33 per cent"
The Union Signal says:
The only way the formation Of alcohol could be
prevented would be to subject the mixture to high
cold that it could not ferment. In either case you
would not have beer but sweetened water.
That paper advises honest doubters to make the
beer according to directions and to have it analyzed
The chemist need not be expert; good, high
school teacher will probably serve the purpose.
Until the root beers have cleared up the case
against them the best is to let them alone,
especially in view Of the seductive nature of alcohol
and it's tendency, when taken in small quanti-
ties. to create appetite for more.

Dnatlon In the state it has worked many changes

of saloons to about onethrd their number under the
old system of $500 licenses.-Rev. s. G.. Smith, DID.
Allowing that the reduction in the number of sa-
looms of st. Paul is wholly due to high license, can
Dr. Smith prove that there has been less drinking
drunkenness and crime resulting from the saloons
than formerly? AS to the results of high license in
the state, it is simply fact that the rising anti
saloon tide outlawing the saloon in town after

was passed. That law has greatly hindered the
progress of this movement and is today the chief
obstacle in the way Of local we'll as state and ma

We often take occasion to mention evidence of the

since the official press is careful not to say any
thing which will injure certain great party, why
should there not be multiplication of independent

Gov Drake of Iowa who is prominent member
of the Christian Disciples Church, is being de-
nounced by portion of the church press for sign
ing the law which has again thrown his state open
to the liquor fends. The Standard, the leading
organ of the denomination urges that he be severely
censured and deprived of all positions of honor in
the church, while the politician in question thinks
the storm raised about his head won't amount to
much, and that he will be renominated and re-
elected Governor What high estimate is put upon
the honor and grit of the church in these days!
