4woMEN MUST BE WON OVERT"

In threepage illustrated article,
the Brewers Journal recently urged
the trade" to push the home consump-
ton of beer. Newspaper advertising
for beer" 1t said, should be designed
to attract and appeal to women as
well as to men, for If beer is to be
used in the home women must be won
over to it." The temperance forces,
particularly the w. G. T. u, will meet
this move on the part of the brewery
interests by bringing to the women of
the country the truth concerning the
results of beer drinking upon them
selves and upon their children. They
will with more energy than ever con-
tinue to enlighten the homemakers
and the homekeepers of America as
to the nature and effects of the home
destroyer which is in beer as well as
in the stronger drinks.
