How Science Regards Beer---The
Most Eminent Scientists of the World
Agree That Beer Is a Food Product.

The great scientists of all nations
after careful analysis declare that
beer contains only 39 per cent of
alcohol or just enough to mildly stim-
ulate the body and promote healthy
digestion. DR.. Bauer. the German
analyst (whose fame is internation-
all, says: Beer has a number of
pleasant and valuable qualities. No
other beverage contains such a COM
bination of useful properties. The
water of It quenches the thirst, the
carbonic acid refreshes. the extracts
are nutritious. the alcohol furthers
digestion, the mineral salts build up
the bones and extracts of hops act as

L. 4. SAVAGE.
salem's Leading Music Dealer.

Salem's Leading Music Dealer.
No city in the west. in proportion
to It's population, contributes more TO
the shrine OF music than Salem, and
no one contributes more TO this de-
mand than Mr.. l.. f. Savage. This
statement is proven by the fact that
he conducts the most popular music
store to be found In this city.
Mr.. Savage is successor to j. Wen
ger, and has had charge of this es-
tabllshment for the past year. dur
ing which time he has enlarged the
stock and established a patronage in
Salem and this vicinity that speaks
volumes of unwritten praise for the
character OF the institution.
This establishment is located at
247 Commercial street. where is TO
be found large and complete stock
of musical instruments. embracing
mandolins, guitars, violins and
banjos. all of which are the produc-
tions of the leading manufacturers
of the country. Mr., Savage is also
an extensive dealer in all kinds of
sheet music. comprising the latest
and most popular pieces on the mar
ket. He keeps well posted on all mu-
sic and makes Il a point to always
keep the latest pieces in stock In
order to accommodate the up-to-date
musical talent OF this vicinity.
At this establishment We also find
the greatest invention of the age, one
since its inception has grown into
wonderful popularity throughout the
United States. as well as the whole
world. This great invention-the
phonograph-has done more TO make
the home enjoyable and entertain
the happy family than any other one
thing that was ever invented. In
this line Mr.. Savage carries a stock
not to be duplicated in Marion coun-
ty. and is able to meet all competi-
tion in prices and terms. Besides his
large stock of talking machines, he
also carries full line of all the lat
est records.
And now in conclusion we will say
to anyone wishing anything in the
music line. call on Mr.. Savage,
where you will find a large assort-
ment and reasonable prices. He is a
reliable and public-spirited business
man and stands very high in both
business and social circles.
