Drink a
Little Beer
Occasionally

IT'S one of the things I
often prescribe. 1t will
do you good if you use
it moderately, as all men
do who know what real
temperance is.
Beer is refreshing, exhil-
arating, nutritious, and a
tonic. 1t promotes diges-
ton and is a wholesome
food beverage. When a
man drinks beer he drinks
and eats at the same time,
just as when he eats a bowl
of soup. The terms "eat"
and "drink" are inconsist-
emily used in pointing out
the difference between
what is merely quenching
our thirst and what is actu-
ally consuming nourish-
ment. In my opinion, a
man might more properly
be said to eat beer than to
eat certain kinds of soup,
or indeed watermelon.
Drink beer and eat moder-
ately. The moderate beer drinker
and eater is in a far better posi-
ton than the total abstainer, who
often consumes an excess of
solid food. Beer builds tissues,
restores waste, furnishes heat,
and produces energy.

u. S. EXPERTS FIND
NEW DISINFECTANT
Made of Pine Oil-Said to Be Cheap,
Harmless and Stronger Than
Carbolic Acid.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 9-The United
States public health service announces
that as a result Of experiments con
ducted in its laboratory new disin-
tgctaut has been discovered possessing
qualities superior to ordinary disinfec-
tants. and that this discovery is par
ticularly important now because of the
shortage in coal tar derivatives as Il
result Of the European conflict. The
bulletin says:
''The new preparation is derived
from pine oil, by-product in the man
ufacture of turpentine. 1t is easily
prepared by mixing certain proportions
of the oil with rosin and sodium hy-
droxide solution, the finished product
being reddish brown liquid, rather
thick and oily in appearance, but free
from turbidity. With water it makes
perfectly white emulsion, much re
sembling milk.
9Th has n pleasing odor, no objec
tion able taste and attacks neither fab
rics nor metals. 1t possesses over fouI
times the disenfectant properties OF
earbolic acid and Is almost non-toXic
so that it may safely be used as ;
| throat spray or mouth wash in solu
tions Of the ordinary strength.

markably low, as it can be manufac
tured for less than 50 cents a gallon
