but silently assisted by MT Stevens of Minnesota, acted now as groceryman. now as druggist. and now as bartender. there were Q dozen or more packages of breakfast foods with their familiar labels. A reference to table weights and skillful dropping of packages np. on a balance scale in front of him en- abled MT. Mann to show that in a great many cases the public paid full price for an abnormal amount of pasteboard box. In scarcely any case dld the pre- pared food weigh twice as much as the box. and in many instances food and package were In nearly equal propor- ton.
 Everybody knew. as Mir. Mann stat ed that about 25 per cent of all the coffee used in the United States Is sold as a mixture of Java and Mocha. He was prepared to i.how from official figures that while we used last year more than a billion pounds of coffee, and while about 250.000.00o pounds were supposed to be Mocha and Java, there were actually imported into this country last year only fraction over 1000, 900 pounds of Mocha and 1O,0OO,- 900 pounds of Java. or approximately less than 13.000.0O0 pounds. or only D per cent of the popular blend. It is staggering to know 95 per cent of the people who think they drink Mocha and Java every day have been deceiv- ed. and yet the facts seem to be rather plain.
 Demonstration Amazes Members.
 Figures like these, however. although ordinarily impressive and convincing. did not attract so much attention In tha house, because the members were so absorbed in the practical demcn- stration of the extent to which fraud ulent manufacturers of food products have been willing to go in the way ot swindling the public.
 Only two of the twelve hours allotted to the pure food bill were used ap to- day. There will be four hours more of general debate tomorrow and then six hours running into Saturday and possibly into Monday for amendments under the five minute rule. There is a disposition in the house to amend inc bill materially and 1t is liable to be nrettv badly patched up by the time 1t gets into conference. which will be some time next week.

Tn line with this was 6 dramatic demonstration when the Chicago pure food expert held up be- fore the house a bottle supposed to contain a quart of vinegar and slowly poured 1t into a large graduated glass.

 Tt Is the department stores and mail order houses" said the demonstra:or, which make profit from short weight cans and undersized bottles. We are seeking to protect the legitimate gro- Ger and the honest canner from men who are willing to make money by depriving people of things they think they are getting. All we urge Is that an approximate weight of measure may be put upon each one of these packages and then, if the public chooses to buy a smaller package at smaller price, 1t may do so. but the manufacturers and dealers must not any longer de- ceive the people as to how much they arc buying"

Why Perfect Beer
Means Health.
Good Beer Is Possible Only With
Eight-Day Malt "a Scientific
Fact.

perfect beer is healthful-it builds up strength
promotes health, aids digestion and acts as q
tonic In giving renewed vitality. perfect beer Is
possible only with perfect malt and perfect malt
can only be made by the eight-day process used by
Pabs;.
Malt Is made from barley. Barley contains In
Its elementary form the constituents that 60 10
build the human system, bone muscle blood
and brain. The process OF making malt as some
OF our readers may know, Is much the same as
the process OF digestion. The grain is started
growing the as II planted In the ground The
chemical changes that take place In the growth OF
the rooties when II sprouts are similar to the ac-
tion Of the digestive fluids in the body II the grain
were eaten The Psbst eiztt-day mailing process
thus retains In predigested form In the beer all or
the nutritious. life-givns elements of the grain.
Pabst has proven BY scientific experiments and
years OF practical brewing that eight days are re-
auired In making matt to bring about these neces-
ssry chemical changes by which the perfect pre-
digested malt IS produced In many breweries the
old shorter process lie still used. This covers
period Of not more than three four days and the
malt is Of forced. unnatural development, lacks In
nutrition and is In all ways inferior. much Of the
vital nutriment OF the grain being lost.
Pahet eight-day malt. the perfect malt, doubles
the cost Of brewing-but Pabst Malt, with the ex-
elusive Pshst method Of brewing makes pahst
Blue Ribbon Beer superior as a nourishing tonic
and delicious beverage.
