 There is no doubt that beer is in more general use today than 1t has been at anytime during the Worlds history. The science of making beer has progressed to such a point that now a beverage is turned out by the breweries that is pleasant and refresh ing to the taste and at the same time has medical properties that nothing country are recommending beer to persons who are run down and as a builder in these cases it has no equal.
 Tn these days of open warfare on the part of some of our citizens against what they please to call the liquor interests. it might. be well. to stop for a moment and consider the health giving qualities of beer. and not make a wholesale condemnation of 1t because it happens to be designated as one Of the mott liquors My dear reader, did you ever stop to consider the far reaching effect the closing down of the breweries of America would have2 How many men in the woods cutting stave bolts, how many coopers. how many glass blowers. to say nothing of the thousands and thousands of employees in the estab- lishments themselves would be thrown out of employment? But it goes still further than that, it reaches the hop grower. of New England and the Pa cIfic Coast and the barley farmers of nearly every state in the union. The market for the barley that Is raised in America is the breweries.. Of course. the fellow who cuts no stave timber. makes no barrels. blows no glass. raises no barley. nor hops. may favor the prohibition against the manufac- ture of beer, but has this. .would-be re- former, anything to offer the countless thousands that he would deprive of a livelihood. whereby they can make a living? No. he has not.
 Arizona has a brewery conducted by the Arizona Brewing company at Prescott that not only makes beer. but makes a beer that In private and health giving qualities. has no super for in America
 The brewery has a capacity of 25.0O0 barrels per year and work is now be- ing done that will. when completed. increase this capacity to 75.000 barrels.
 The plans of the work under con- struction, also call for the building of a large malt house and when this is in operation we will have a market right here at home for all of the barley that can be raised in the Salt River valley Mr Jos. Bold. the manager of the brewery. has had samples of bar ley raised here. analysed and 1t Is found to be as rich as any barley In the country. It has also been demon- strated that hops. superior to the Pa cific Coast product. can be grown. here. Thus it will be seen that We can raise the materials out of which beer is made and We have in our neigh boring city the brewery to make it. Beer is here to stay. Thousands of i our best people drink 1t daily and 1t Is no more than right that they should buy the home product This would result in keeping thousands of dollars : In the territory that would be deposit ed in our banks and be for use in exploiting the many worthy business , es. mining and manufacturing inter eSts. There may be an argument against drinking beer but If you do drin- it there is no argument against spending your money for a home pro- duct
