MORE FOAM ON BEER.
Price WIN Go Up 81 a Barrel IN
Short Time.

On November l. or soon after. the price Of beer
in New York and Brooklyn will be raised by al
the big brewers at least 81 a barrel The reason
advancing the price IS the increase in the cost
of malt and hops and all other raw materials used
IN the manufacture Of beer and the higher wages
demanded by the employees.
What the retailers will do to meet the raise has
not yet been decided upon but IL is certain that
unless the price of glass Of beer is raised. that
same glass will contain less than at present.
The big brewers. when asked last night about
the increase. expressed surprise that the advance
information had leaked out A meeting 70 decido
on the amount Of the increase will be held soon
and until that time 1t was hoped to keep the mat
ter quiet.
One prominent brewer said: Yes. IL IS perfectly
true that the price OF beer will. be raised in the
near future The breweries making no money
with the present high price OF raw materials and
labor Just how the saloons will meet the raise
I do not know but I guess the pint trade will be
the worst sufferer"
George Ehret jr.. refused to deny or affirm that
the price was TO he advanced
u is predicted that. with the increased cost or
beer many OF the smaller saloons will be unable
20 make profit and will be forced out OF business

sleepy kiss is the only fare:
Drifting away from the world we 90,
Boy and I in the rocking chair.
See, where the frelogs glow and spark
Glirter the lights of Shadowland:
The raining drops on the window-hark,
Are ripples tapping upon its strand.
There where a mirror is glancing dim
a lake lies shimmering, cool and still;
Blossoms are wavering DER its brim-
Those over there on the window sill.
Rock slow. more slow, in the dusky light,
Silently lower the anchor down;
Dear little passenger, say Good night"
We've reached the harbor of Shadowtown.
