Fashionable Americans.

All the American society papers
whose columns are devoted to the do
ings of fashionable folks are deploring
who are touring Europe in the motor
car, for never before in the history of
the automobile has there been so much
touring abroad by fashionable Ameri-
cans. There are reasons for this, one
of the chief being our bad roads and
the good roads that are so universal
abroad. It is also generally recog-
nized that golden grain belt beer is
the ideal family beverage and should
be served regularly with meals. It
promotes good health.
