BREWERS ARE EXCITED.


Call For Next National Convention
Abounds In Tragic Explanations.
Like an avalanche Prohibition stalks
over fourishing states and grasps them
in its clutches" This is the excited
battlecry which the brewers used in
their national convention at Atlantic
City June 1-3.
The beermakers are terribly worked
up.
1.-The adversaries of the brewing and
liquor trade have grown to power
that continually increases with the ad-
vantages achieved" continues the con-
vention call in the American Brewer,
official organ Of. the United States
Brewers association.
So rapidly are they being wiped off
the map that the brewers have even
convinced themselves that popular
government is failure.
How is it feasible" cries out the
editor of the Brewer, ito calm again
the raving masses?"
"How can the oars be taken from
their hands?"
How can the movement be check
edT"
Apparently nothing but absolute
monarchy, with King Gambrinus on
the throne, will prove effectual.
Hypocrisy leads with its banner
raised, and fanaticism excites the wild
hordes," gently argues the Brewers
editor, here referring to the Ignorant
American voters" by whose ballot their
trade is being doomed.
''Sumptuary legislation, local option
and Prohibition threaten larger and
larger territories, and parts Of the
country heretofore held as secure to
the cause of personal liberty have sue
cumbed," despairingly concludes the
appeal.
Meanwhile the official government
figures show a decrease in the pro-
duction Of beer in the United States

decrease in beer production as COM
pared with the ten months Of the pre-
ceding year aggregated So, 525,0 s6.S0.

To Aid Temperance.

One of the last acts of the Sixtieth
congress was the enactment of revi-
sion of the federal penal code. This
includes a provision that an act for
hidden by the law of the state in
which it occurs is forbidden by the
federal government. 1t provides that
liquor when shipped from state to
state may be sent only to bona fide
purchasers in prohibition states, that
the package must plainly bear the
purchasers name, with the statement
that it contains liquor, and no such
package of liquor may be sent c. o. d.
This is aimed at the practice of evad-
ing state laws through sending liquor
C. o. d. by express and practically
making the express agencies liquor
sellers under federal jurisdiction.

DAILY DIET HINTS

Food 5, ccialist.
AVOID TOO HUGH VARIETY.

Mixing foods Unfortunately
is, next to hurried eating, which
means over-eatin5, the most pro-
life cause of dietetic troubles. A
healthy child (Which is rarer
than we suppose) will select one
article of food and satisfy the
appetite on that; the stomach
will do the same, and so diges-
ton will be uEdisturbed. Apples
digest in an hour, pork in four;
the pork is not ready to leave
the stomach when the apples
should; there Is a conflict, which
a person of weak digestion can
feel and which affects the strong
est. Some foods are especially
inharmonious; no two are per-
fectly harmonious.
1t has been shown that the sys-
tenn secretes the particular kind
of digestive juices which each
food requires. Mixtures must.

those veterans and widows who are en-
titled to pensions from the state, but
who have not heretofore applied or been
eligible These applications are to be
filled out by the county pension commits
sioners before the amount of each PEN

the pensions are paid upon pro rata
basis.
All told, there are nearly 10000 PEN
sioners in the state, about one-third
being veterans, onc-thrd widows and
the remaining third divided between the
two preferred classes, with fixed stipu-

in these preferred classes, and they get
their stipulated pensions, while the re-
