GOOD BEER THROWN AWAY.

It were destined like that brewed at

ate is to be poured into the sewers
With ruthlessness that would de-
ight the heart of Mrs Nation.
The explanation OF the rather sur
prising procedure is that the beer
aus sacrificed is the product of a
~ort OF school of brewing run by the
municipality of Manchester. This
provincial city is progressive place.
and some time ago it decided to start
municipal school of technology, at
which every trade practiced in the
north of England Should be taught
practically
When the school was opened it
was found that quite a number of it's
students We're anxious to learn the
brewing business, so it was decided
to add model brewery, on small
scale, to the rest of the technical
equipment. When the matter was
referred to the government, however,
the Manchester city fathers were told
that they could not be allowed to
start their miniature brewery unless
they would agree that every particle
OF its output should be destroyed
And at regular intervals since the
brewery was started an excise in
spector has dropped in to make sure
that there is no mistake about this.
The saddest part OF the whole story
is that experts who have sampled
the beverage made by the municipal
students Of brewing say that it Is,
frst-class.
