BEER ADULTERATION.
Investigated by Senator Mason's
Committee.

New York. Nov. 14.-The United
States senate committee on manufac-
lures today continued its inquiry into
the adulteratiOn of aIeS, porter ana
beers On Thursday the committee Will
receive reports from several professors
of Yale and Harvard, who have been
invited to submit their views as to the
establishment of a. standard of purity
of all food products.
Senator Mason of Illinois conducted
today's session. The first witness call
ed was Max SchWarz, a chemist, con-
Sulting brewer and director OF the IN
tied States Brewers academy.
Senator Mason asked about the use
of personalities by brewers in the I'm
tied States and the witness said he
knew of none except salicylic acid,
which is manufactured from coal tar
and compounds OF suphurOus acid. The
use of such personalities, Mr. Schwarz
said. was a necessity to stay the nat
uraI decay in the component parts of
beer The preservatives are only used
for beer to be shipped and not for beer
manufactured for home consumption.
Replying to Senator Mason, Mr..
SchWarz said the proportion of sail
cylic acid, when used as a. preservative,
is one half ounce for every barrel of
beer.
Mr. Schwarz declared the proportion
of preservatives in the English and
other imported ales and beers is much
greater than in the locally brewed
beers. The PaSteurizatiOn of beer in
bottles, the witness said. is not a GER
tain preventative
Albert w. Wigan, a brewmaster, said
he agreed throughout with all Mr.
SchWarz had said except as to the
quantity of personalities necessary.
He thought Mr.. Schwarz's estimate Of
half an ounce of salicylic acid to the
barrel of beer too large. The only other
preservative the witness uses is bisul-
phite of lime. No substitute is used
for hops, but cereals are substituted for
malt, because the popular demand is
-a1-Tg
than, can be made from pure malt.
Frederick Kreusler, a brewmaster,
gave testimony similar to that of
Wigan. To make a light beer, he said
about 20 per cent of rye is added to the
malt and hops. He uses no glucose OF
colOring matter.

ARIZONA,s DISPLAY.
One Feature at Paris Will Be Car
Load of Fortified Wood.

Phenix, Ariz., Nov. 14-One of the
features of the American exhibit of
Paris is to be a display of petrified
wood of northern Arizona. Advice that
the general land commissioner has Civ
en- permission for taking a car load of
specimens, trees that are down and
scattered fragments. the commissioner
insisting that no tree be cut down in
the effort to secure good specimens, -
has been received.
1t appears that the land commissioner
and others in the east think the petri-
fed wood district is really a forest of
stony and erect trees. The truth is
there is not "a tree in the whole petri-
fed forest. PROSTATE over a large area
are thousands of logs of what was once
pine, while the ground for miles square
is macadame with f1inty chips and ir-
regular fragments. slicihed or agatized

stood by all those present that an offer
from the Convention hall management

tract would be very acceptable Both

Cancelled, and the Missouri men have
already declared themselves. Those
who were present at the meeting of the

openly that they would be pleased II
the hall MANAGEMENT would cancel the

as much.

MOVEMENT OF SHEEP.
Three Hundred Thousand Head Going
to Winter Grazing Ground

Flagstaff, Ariz., November 14.-Over
half the sheep in Northern Arizona,
on their way to the winter grazing
grounds on the Salt and ella rivers.
there to stay until lambing and shear
ing have been completed in the early
spring. The sheep industry has never
before been in such prosperous condi-
ton.
With the southwark movement of the
floc6s hOstiities with the cattlemen
have been resumed. One of the most
prominent of the sheep drOvers lately
received a letter, warning him not to
drive through Pleasant Valley if he
wished to avoid trouble. The Tonic
basin cattIemen are also far from
pleasantly inclined, for each passing
drove of sheep ruins grass for a. half
mile swath. The general feeling, even
among the cattle owners. is that the
sheep industry will soon become para
mount, and that cattlemen will be linn
tied to the districts not favorable to the
grazing of sheep. The Sheep Owners
association is taking all possible mea-
sures to cOnciIiate the cattlemen, and to
avoid trouble,
