INTO every generation of Ameri-

l. held to be the purest figure in
history-a superb example of the
perfect citizen Ia just and righteous
ruler and ga light for after time"
This commanding personality had
magnificent physique. He stood over six
feet in his stockings, was remarkable for
Workmanship, agility and strength-the
finest gentleman and athlete of his day.
His constitution was of iron and he
! knew how to keep it so. His biographers
declare that in eating and in drinking as
in all things he was normal; enjoying
the juice Of. the malt all the days of his
life. He drank it around campfires, as
well as in his own home and upon social
and state occasions.
Furthermore, upon his Mount Vernon
plantation he had brew house, as was
the regular custom of wealthy Virginians.
