Noted mon and women of this country are already alive to the situation and besides Miss Phoebe Cousins and Dr. Joseph Fcislcr of Northwestern Unt- ycrSity, many others of note give thCIr endorsement to beer as.a means to na- tional temperance.
 Miss Cousins, for q quarter of q cen tury the most eminent woman sui fragc advocate in the West, said in q recent interview: "There never will be q law that will compel prohibition, and the sensible thIng for the W omen $ Christian Temperance Union to do is to aid in the substitution of mild, nourishng drinks like beer, which scl dom produces drunkenness. X promi- ncnt army officer who served ill the Southwest, operated cdntecns at three different posts. He made the cantoens so acceptable to the soldiers, who found beer satisfying their demands, that he actually ran all the low dives of the surrounding neighborhood out of business
 Pitbst Beer meets all the demands fer a mild, healthful. refreshing beVer- age such aS Miss Cousins suggests. It is made of the exclusive Pabst eight day malt. choicest hops and pure water.
