drug at all. but simply absorbs the gases
and Impurities always present In the
stomach and intestines and carries them
out OF the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking. drinking or after eating onions
and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and improves
the complexion. 1t whitens tho teeth and
further acts as a natural and eminently
safe cnthnrtic.

A Buffalo physician, in speaking OF the
benefits of charcoal, says: II advise
stuarts Charcoal Lozengers to all patients
suffering from gas In stomach and

THE MANUFACTURE OF BEER.
All Precautions Taken to Preserve
Its Purity.i

All Precautions Taken to Preserve
Its Purity.i
Beer, as the most largely used Of the
beverages in this country, naturally
claims consideration. Though in COM
mon use almost the world over, and
by reason of it's small cost within
reach Of the slenderest purse, beer is
by no means plebeian-its lineage is of
the noblest: in Northern mythology
the brewer and his art were important
factors, the beer drinking meetings Of
the Germanic tribes being really sacri-
fetal banquets. 1t is worthy Of note
that to-day several monkish orders in
Europe, and certain monastery in
Pennsylvania, brew famous beers, and
introduce the seasons brew with semi
religious ceremonials.
The beverage we know as beer is not
the traditional winelike drink ex-
tracted from barley; yet, though Of
more recent origin, nothing is really
known Of the place and date at which
1t first appeared. Hoped malt beer
is by some attributed to Jan Primus,
Burgundian prince who hourished
about the middle of the thirteenth
century. while others ascribe it to one
Jean San Peur (1371-l419l, or Gan
brivius.
The first authentic record of the ex-
istence of a public brewery, however,
dates back to 1887, in Massachusetts,
and 1898, in Rhode Island. These
were not the first brewers, though,
for licensed tavern keepers were d.
rected by the governing authorities to
brew beer, of which both the quality
and the price formed the subjects Of
early legislation and regulations be-
sides, every thrifty housewife brewed
beer for home consumption.
1t may be remarked of beer that
there is more misinformation concern
ing its manufacture and constituents
disseminated by ignorance than in the
case of coffee even which IS saying a
good deal. Perhaps description OF
these will dissipate this ignorance and
the unjust prejudice it engenders.
The ingredients used are sterilized
and filtered soft water, crushed malt
and "a per cent. of rice, or grits, and
hops-there is no substitute for hops.
The crushed malt is placed in the
Z mash tub" upon perforated copper
plate, placed some two inches above
the real bottom. Then, the rice, or
grits, which has been boiled (partly
under pressure) to disrupt its cells
which dlssolves an encyn, called dia-
stase, that with heat and moisture
turns sUarch into sugar-is added TO
the malt. After being thoroughly
mixed by mechanically operated mash
! ing rakes, the wort, as the infusion
is termed at this stage, which has
strained through the perforations, is
drained off and entered into the brew

gives us greater inspiration for the flu

emancipation; Lincoln Of the ages.
I'm the passing Of the years his fame
will grow as the aspirations for liberty
broaden with our own boundaries and
reach out across the seas. With all his
gentleness, how strong and how com
pletely he met the supreme tests that
came to him in the presidency. What
an Illustration his life afforded Of the
truths that early priyations need be no
bar to ultimate success; that obstacles
overcome are the greatest of educators,
that integrity and honor and fair deal
Ing are living factors in every real tr1
umph, in every abiding fame; that faith
In the people and devotion to their in
terests are essentials to lasting honor
IN public life.
''For the greater part Of the past
three-quarters Of century Lincoln's
influence on American public life hal
been felt in ever increasing measure.
1t was reflected in his contemporaries,
and those who have followed him in the
presidency make no concealment of
their lasting obligation to him."
