Is BEER A FOOD PRODUCT?
Department Of Agriculture Takes UF
Investigation.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 3D.
That beer is a food product and that
it is fast coming to be classed with
the least harmful beverages. is a
claim now receiving the close attention

with the department of agriculture.
The department Of agriculture is, and
has been for some time, pursuing an
investigation of the nature, effects and
value of beer.
DR.. w. H. Wiley, chief Of the bureau
of chamistry, of the department of ag-
riculture, is especially interested in the
subject, having referred to it frequent
ly in lectures. DR.. Wiley is not yet
ready to make any statement or report
on the question as to whether beer is
a food product.
Il will say this much,' he said to-
day, that the use of beer and wines
