REASONS FOR USING
HOPS IN BEVERAGES
Taste and Aroma as Well as Pre-
sentative Quality Are Desired.

Some American growers claim that,
tnasmuch as American hops in many
cases are just as rich in the soft resins
as the best European hops, their brew
ing value ought to be equal to that Of
the Europeans. They have not, how
ever, been able to convince American
brewers of the accuracy Of this view.
They will try to do so at the barley
and hop exhibition in Chicago in Oc-
tober, 1911. The principal trouble
however, with American hops as they
reach the market is that they are pick
ed carelessly. The only part that is of
value to the consumer is the cone, and
everything in the shape of stems and
leaves that is mixed with the grains
not only diminishes the amount of
available material, but introduces a
decidedly injurious element, the leaves
and cones being rich in fannie acid,
which imparts stringent and harsh
taste.
In the international barley and hop
exhibition, which will be held in Chi
cago in October, 1911, the item of

Of individual preferences.

A substantial looking man halted for
a moment in the street, pulled out big
wallet and examined a card which he
took from it. AS he dropped the card
back and closed the book fat wad of
bills showed in one Of its compartments.
A pair Of pickpockets passing, caught
sight of the money, and, with rapid
exchange of meaning glances, they
dropped little behind and followed the
man for several blocks with the view of
availing themselves of the first oppOr-
tunity to relieve him of the roll. After
awhile the man with the wad suddenly
turned and entered lawyers office,
leaving the pickpockets facing each
other with looks of dismay.

one of them.
"Let us wait Tor the lawyer" said the
other.
