little attention, the opening, which ranged
from 11s@1Ac lower to 1sc advance with

And It's Never Adulterated, So Columbia
Man Tells Master Brewers' Convention

Prof. Charles Frederick Chandler is the
ranking Professor of Chemistry at Columbia
University, New York City, the largest
University in the world.
Beer, " said Prof. Chandler. ''is a bever-
age prepared from barley, water, hops and
yeast. Beer is food American beer con-
tains per cent. solid food only 3 to A per
cent. alcohol and also lecithin, which is
real brain food. Beer and bread are both
made from cereals; 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 ordin-
ary quantities and beer is one Of the foods
that is free from bacteria. It is appetiz-
ing and aids digestion. / have had some
experience with beer and have been a con-
sumer. have enjoyed most perfect health
and guess am a pretty good specimen
of the food value of beer.
II 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 large part of the population of a
wholesome article of food. There you have
reasons enough why beer has become our

OBJECTIONS TO CONSOLIDATION

(From a staff Correspondent
LINCOLN. May 5.-tSpecial) )-Members
of the Grand Army Of the Republic. Sons
OF Veterans OF Lincoln and kindred or
ganisations are making extensive efforts
20 entertain Commander-in- David
J. Palmer Of the Grand Army on Satur-
day evening. May 10, when he comes

of the First Presbyterian church
Colonel Palmer will be on his way 10

objections 10 consolidation.
Mr. Tecd of the state superintendent's 8
office was in Howe last niSht at u
meeting Of the patrons OF several dis
trict schools outside of Howe to discuss
the consolidation Of the districts into
one school. Eight districts were repre-
sentod and the movement appeared TO
meet with much favor. There is one
drawback to the consolidation. which ap-
pears to be the case in most Of the places
where consultations are desired.
The patrons of the country districts DO
not want to go in with the village
schools. For some reason there is a
sort of jealousy between the country and
the village schools which may hamper
the successful carrying out OF the CON
solidation scheme.
Generally speaking, in tho smaller
towns it would he easy TO consolidate
the districts adjoining with the town
school. but this does not seem to be dc
sired. The consolidation proposition has
been a great success in other states and
il is hoped that the same success will
be brought out in this state. Countin &
the city schools with the country schools
is shown that there is eighteen pupils
on an average TO each teacher.
In Indiana there are twenty-five pupils
to each teacher and in Massachusetts,
where the consolidation system has been
running for thirty-five years, there ore
thirty-five students TO each teacher. II
is Just as easy and Just as cheap TO
teach two dozen pupils or more as 1t Is
to tech half a dozen, and for that reason
tho state superintendent desires that the
consolidation scheme be generally
adopted in districts where a better con-
dition could be brought about
Miss Lathrop went to Trumble tonight
to work up the proposition there and
Superintendent Thomas will follow to-
morrow, when he will address the pat
rons on the consolidation scheme.
