In awarding damages caused by the
building Of the great Boston reservoir
the State of Massachusetts has estab-
lished an important precedent. When
a town like West Boylston is
practically wiped out it is understood
that the owners of property must be
compensated for the losses sustained
by them, and also it is necessary to pay
for damages sustained by storekeepers
and manufacturers. All this the State
did, and then went a step further. 1t

Beer Disease.

According tn Van Lear, who has
been studying the special diseases for
bacteria which affect beer, there is
such thing as beer disease. 1t APP
pears that acillus develops in beer
associated with viscous fermentation
and converts practically the carohy-
drates into Tactic. aoetic and utyric
acids. This practically destroys the
quality of the beer, and makes it in the
language of beer men "double faced"
Its flavor may be increased, but its
effect are depressing and resemble
those of narcotic poison. 1t is said
that many beers on the market are in
jured by this acillus, whose presence
is largely unknown. 1t is evident
from this that beer is not the simple,
harmless beverage supposed. Journal

example OF this.
