no hesitation for choice. The prime
necessity was to save her, Mary, from

around her. For himself, in the; days

Know How to Brew Beer.
But TO know the letter Brewing com
pany thoroughly you must know Fred
Drew, the vice president, and August
Radzuweit, the secretary. Fred Drew is a
native German and he learned the brew
ing trade in Germany. He knows it from
beginning to end. with Drew, beer max
ing Is an art. He has a special desk in
the new brew house and there he sits
while the brewers are making the famous
letters Old Age" That is the pride Of
Drew's old age, for he is no longer
young. The secret Of the Old Age beer Is
his secret. He and Balthas letter. former
head OF the letter Brewing company,
spent many months in Germany studying
and working on the Old Age brew. 1t is
patterned after the old German Munchen
style, being a heavier draught than the
usual domestic beers. The Old Age brew
Is different from the ordinary brew In
that Il is a double brew. In the great
copper kettles, which cost the plant $40, 900
TO install, occurs the fermentation from
the ingredients OF his secret recipe. An
artesian well OF 1877 feet was driven es-
pecially to obtain the right kind OF water.
From this we'll there is flow OF $50 gal
Ions a minute. Bohemian hops are used
in the brew, and many extracts, but Of
this Drew will not speak. That is the
secret OF Old Age.
Drew has been with the letters for
twenty-five years. He IL taciturn almost
to fault unless you know him; then he
opens up into a most interesting char
aeter. Together with Martin letter the
head OF the company ne has watched the
plant grow from two OF three little stor-
age buildings to six-story mill house
and a fiye-story brew house. From a
total capacity OF few hundred barrels he
has seen q plant spring up whose ca
pacity IL 10000 barrels ana whose annual

Young Martin threw himself into the

Quietly he pushed the product of the old

from a local distribution to a large ex-

reminded of the cleanly homes OF the old
Germans OF the Rhine. Everything is Sc

where tho hops are stored, Is kept cooled
by an artificial cooling system. The floors

Glass enameled watts have been steadily
displRcing the old wooden watts used in
most breweres. letter thinks that glass
enameed watts keep the beer from any
danger OF wooden mould and the woody
taste that sometimes is noticed on beer.
Each OF these glass enameled watts holds
from 200 to 300 barrels OF beer. After the
beer has aged sufficiently II Is drawn off
over pipes ranging from fire heat TO ex-
IRENE frigidity. over these pipes the beer
fresh from the kettle Is allowed TO flow

You cannot get beer out of the letter
cellar under six weeks no matter what
the weather or conditions. The time of
draught is dependent upon the weather.
In some weather the beer ages more
quickly than at other times. When the
Old Age is ready to be drawn off IT is
sent through a special chemical process
which puts the foam and gives 1t the
