Beer a Food"

Professor Charles Frederick Chanu
Ter OF Columbia University, a well
known chemist, declares that beer is
the best brain food. In a recent ad.
dress he said: Beer is a beverage
prepared from barley, water, hops and
yeast. Beer is food. American beer
contains 6 per. cent solid food, only
3 to per cent alcohol and also
lectthin, which is real brain food.
Beer and bread both made from GER
eals; bread with water and is solid;
beer with more water and is LIQUID.
Yeast converts both into palatable and
readily digested food. Both contain
alcohol. Beer is not Intoxicating in
ordinary quantities and beer is one
OF the foods that is free from bac.
terra. 1t is appetizirg and aids d.
gestion. l don't believe there is any
beer made in the United States that is
what you call adulterated. 1t may be
misbranded, but not adulterated. If
the prohibitionists drive beer from the
household they will deprive a large
part of the population of a wholesome
article of food"
