Mauss.

Washington, ID. G. July 81
eEntering the illustrious names of
Herodotus, Caesar, Plago and other
ancients as earnest drinkers Of beer,
barley growers and brewers through
out the country today began tasti-
mony before the board OF food and
drug inspectors today began testi-
mony before the board of food and
drug inspectors.
DR.. Harvey w. Wiley, chief chem
4 list, who heads the board, shared hon
ors with the ancient conticilises by
announcing early that his chief
complaint was that too little beer
was found in the ordinary glass Of
commerce sold to the thirsty.
I'm tired of buying foam said
the pure food expert Indignantly
There should be line on glass in
dieating whore solid, beer ends. ;"
Chemist Wiley looked thirstily at
the pitcher that adorned the speak
er's table. 1t contained only water.
John II Mauss, representing the
National Consumers league and the
Wisconsin Board OF American So
ciety of Equity argued that most
people were Of the impression that
beer was made OF barley, malt hops
and water when in reality inferior
gains or chemical preseryatiyes"
were substituted.
He asserted that the brewers could
lose nothing by labelling their pno-
ducts and that consumers soon would
indicatae preference for various lines
of beer manufactured.
Mr. Mauss exploited the methods
of making beer and charged that the
public did not get enough for its
money. f.g
He referred to the fact that whea
the consumer is sold "pint" or o
quart" was in reality given what is
known on brewers invoices as a
small" or large" and since the
Spanish American war the FIVE
quarts to gallon measure had never
been changed.

rules of the league. Manager Flood
protested against one Of the charac-

All of the Cairo players having
been used in the game it was i'm
possible to bring any Of them back
to take Manager Floods place. and

finish the game for that reasoh Um-

forfeit. There not being more than

there shall not be on the team,
(though Vincennes home town OF
President Gosnell, now has more
than the limit on the pay rolls) an

and since il was impossible to use
any of the men who had pitched or
been relieved, Cairo could not put
any one on second base to succeed

The work of Umpire Conklin was
condemned by all except those who
were with the Umpire determined
that the game should be won by the
locals at whatever cost. Umpire Con-
