Millions Spent to
Make Clean Beer
Oleanest Manufacturing Process Is
That of An American Brewery.

We regard beer as n food and the
business OF brewing beer one of our
most important industries. When we
tell our readers that without exception

manufacture as Pabst, we speak from
exact knowledge of conditions. The
monster Pabst Brewery at Milwaukee
represents an outlay of millions of
dollars and many of those millions
have been expended to make the Pabst
exclusive process absolutely clean.
PabSt Beer stands alone today, the only
food product that from the beginning
to the end of it's manufacture is abSo-
Eliminating germs of the air.
Doctors boil their instruments in
water to sterilize them Pabst boils
his brew in closed kettles and thus
steriIizes it. From there it passes
through sterilized pipes to sterilized

sterilized pipes it goes to sterilized
Theoretically sealed storage tanks
and when bottled it is pasteurized.
Ihroughout the entire process it never
is touched by human hands and comes
IN contact only with sterilized air.
This process of manufacture is the
exclusive PabSt method. 1t is one rea-

sentation of a petition by Joe r. Lane
on behalf of voters of the two pre-

be not used as the number in each
precinct was insufficient to handle the
vote during the rush hours. Mr. Lane
stated that he was confident that the
machine was all it claimed to be, that
it was a wonder, but argued that as
there had been no opportunity to con-

be attained by having the machines at

for use II. w. Barr. representing the

From Mondays Daily
A satisfactory settlement has been
reached in the controversy among the
stockholders of the Oskaloosa Trac-
tipn & Light company and the suits
pending in the federal court which
we're to have been heard before Judge

been dismissed.
Recently a block Of 1000 shares in

Samuel Mahon, J. B. Sax, Calvin Man
ming and ]. w. Garner A few days
before the sale Harry O'Neil and j.

ing that it was contrary to the inter-
ests Of a majority of the stockholders.
Mr.. Springfield and Mr.. O'Neil own a
controlling interest in the Oskaloosa
company and in cross bill filed by
the defendants it was alleged that the
affairs of the company were not being
managed to the best interests of the

Reverence Changed, Not Destroyed.
Though critics of democracy claim
that democracy has destroyed some
of the finer characteristics of the
older days, such as reverence Of
children toward parents, pupil toward
teacher, the people toward their rul-
ers, there is in all these relations a
more genuine relation than formerly,
although their relations have
changed" Continued President Eliot.
"No nation in the world has such
reverence for women as have the men
Of the great republic. Our reverence
for symbols have diminished, but not
! for the ideals which these material
signs of religion and love of country
, stand for.
Such a belief as his toward the
effeo.. of democracy is the only one
consistent with a belief in he per-
manent uura On of democracy and a
belief in the permanence of this is
nece. :ary for a belief in the advance
of civilization /" was President Eliot's
! closing sentence.

CARNEGIE
GIVES $500
STEEL MAGNATE WILL DONATE
MONEY TO oTTUMWA sWED.
IsH CHURCH

From Mondays Daily.
Andrew Carnegie will assist the
members Of the new Swedish Metho-
dist Episcopal, church Of this city to
purchase an organ for their church
building.
Rev. G. Nord. the pastor Of the
church, received a letter Saturday
from James Bertram, the private sec
retary of the great steel magnate, say
ing that Mr.. Carnegie would give the
last $500 to pay for an organ for the
church, to cost $1,000.
Some weeks ago a letter was writ
ten to Mr.. Carnegie by prominent
business man of this city stating the
condition of the church, that the con-
gregation was small, that they had
already by great effort succeeded in
erecting a handsome new church
building and that 1t was now their de-
sire TO furnish the building with new
organ worthy of it's surroundings.
The letter after stating the condi-
tions asked If Mr. Carnegie would not
be willing to present the church with
the organ or to make donation
which would help materially to raise
then ecessary funds.
Receive Proposition.
Shortly after this the pastor of the
church received blank from the steel
kings office which he was requested to
fill out. This blank was for the pur'
pose Of stating in a formal and definite
way much the same information that
! had been given in the letter. This
| blank was filled out and returned and
! Saturday the letter containing the
proposition mentioned above was re.
ceived.
Arrangements are now being made
by the officials and members of the
Swedish church for making an ener
getic effort to raise the remaining $5OC
necessary for the purchase of the or
gan. The absence from the city today
of the pastor, Rev. G. Nord. makes II
impossible to ascertain definitely how
far these arrangements have pro
i gressed or whether any further sub
scriptions have as yet been received.
! This is the second donation given tc
Ottumwa institutions by Mr.. Carnegie
the other one being the $4,000 dona
ton for the Carnegie library.

ried to Congressman Nicholas Long

Is looking forward with great interest
to the event. plans for the ceremony
are still In a tentative state. For one
thing there Is the matter Of Invitations
to consider. Mrs. Roosevelt believes
that the personal friends Of the two

milton, and that Miss Roosevelt's host
esses Of the past in various cities
should not be counted out. Miss
Roosevelt has been SO extensively en-
tertained that were none but these
families to be invited they would fill
the allotted space.
Miss Roosevelt's desire Is for an
official wedding. She is particularly
anxious that MIR. Longworth's associ-
ates in the house of representatives
shall be first considered. She con.
tends that they all will be anxious to
see their colleague married and that
they ought to be asked.
