WHAT BEER REALLY BUILDS
Not Physical Strength and intellectual
Capacity, but Almshouses, Pris-
ons and Scpulchers.

One of the most wilfully deceitful
announcements on the huge signs
which deface the landscape of New
Jersey, close to the tracks of several
great railways between New York and
Philadelphia, proclaims the virtues Of
1.-The beer that builds" That particu-
lar beverage does build, but the ad-
vertisement carefully conceals what it
builds. The brewer would leave the
impression that IT builds physical
strength and intellectual capacity. On
the contrary, 1t diminishes and ulti-
mately destroys these, while 1t builds
almshouses, insane asylums, prisons
and sepulchers. The amount of nu-
triment in a glass OF beer is less than
the quantity contained in as much
-four as could be heaped on the point
of knife blade. The amount of po-
tential waste of brain and Drawn, of
character and spiritual efficiency in
such a potation Is beyond calculation.
The pure-food law should be amended
in such way as not only to compel
the manufacturers of articles for con-
sumption to declare their ingredients.
but also in case they promise results
to the consumer to indicate specif-
cally what kind of effects are produced.
The beer that builds" should bear on
the label Of each bottle precisely what
1t builds.-The Christian Advocate.

SOME HINTS FOR SUMMER
MEALS.
SOME

During the hot weather, food spoilD
so quickly that it is wise to purchase
just enough to last over the twenty
four hours. Fruits of all kinds, green
vegetables and little meat should con-
stitute the bulk of ones diet.
Fruits needs mastication. even the
very ripe and tender varieties. Those
who are distressed after eating fruit
are usually those who are careless
about mastlcating it.
Summer breakfasts are usually a
problem to the householder, especial
ly If her family has a diversity OF
tastes. There is nothing more re-
freshing and satisfying than fresh
fruit in it's season, and nature has sup
piled us 80 abundantly that even the
fussy person may have the kind he
likes.
Fried fruit seems out of place. as
does oatmeal, except at rare intervals.
There are always cool days when
hearty foods are relshed, so that va
riety Is thus given.
Housewives who are careful of their
linen have small colored napkins for
tho fruit course which saves the
bite napkins from many stains.
Ome!ets are always acceptable as a
breakfast ash, especially in warm
weather. and they may be varied by
| different sauces or seasonings. A de-
/ llcious sweet omelCt which may be
| served as a dessert is prepared as fol-
| lows: Have the Omelet pan hot and
web buttered, then add a handful OF
blanched almonds just before putting
| in the omelet; when 1t is cooked.
ready to fold, the almonds will be well
| Drowned BE careful not to scoTch
| them. Serve this with ii hot maple
