an output of 650,000 barrels per annum.
1t is interesting to note that New York
city produces ten times that quantity,
and the entire United States produces
100 times that quantity. The term ale
was used in England before the intro
duction of hops and probably came
from the Scandinavians.
Hops First Used In Germany.
The use of hops was derived from
Germany, and the name beer from
Germany was, first applied to malt Eq-
uor containing hops. 1t is interesting
to note that when the use of hops was
first introduced to England in 1649 the
English petitioned the king against the
use Of hops, saying this wicked weed
would spoil the drink and endanger the
lives of the people. At the same time
they also petitioned the king against
the use of coal for fuel in the city of
London because of the smoke which
1t produced and which 1t was claimed
polluted the air.
The manufacture of beer involves
two separate and distinct operations
First, mating. and then brewing. The
object OF mailing is to so change the

How the Brewing Is Done.
Next comes the brewing by which
the malt is converted into beer. The
crushed malt is extracted in hot wa

ton in changing the starch to dextrin
and maltese. One part of diastase is
sufficient for 100000 parts of starch.
After the malt has been sufficiently
treated the solution is drawn off and
this constitutes the wort. The remain

AS spineless as a shoestring

WHETHER BILLY" Sunday could bring
wv about the reform or not is an open
question, but there is no doubt that Repre-
sentative Dies was speaking words of sober
ness and truth when he attacked his col
leagues in Congress for their lack of nerve
to oppose measures in which they did not be-
lieve. He was speaking particularly of a
proposition to increase the pay of rural mail
carriers.
The refusal of Congressman to vote against
measures which large body of their con-
stituents approve is a trivial offense in COM
parison with the surrender of the legislative
functions of Congress to the President 1t is
notorious that the ship-purchase bill is not
favored by more than dozen Senator's but
the Democratic majority has surrendered its
judgment and is merely obeying orders If
majority of the Senate really favored the bill
It could be passed in spite of the filibuster Of
the opposition, Senator Lodge remarked
the, other day. But the majority, without the
nerve to say what 1t thinks of an indefen-
sible proposition, is forcing an extra session
of Congress upon the country with it's po-
tentialities of continued unsettlement of
business. Mckinley, according to Colonel
Roosevelt. had the backbone of chocolate
eclair, but this Congress is as spineless as
the Presidents shoestring.

Endless Series of Investigations

A MAJORITY report at the Gridiron Club
"A dinner in Washington declared that ut
is unfair to put rich man In jail. He
should support himself" That is what
famous correspondent used to call Grid
irony" but it is a good approach to a fact
of some Importance. The public would be
willing to stand the cost of keep If few
rich fellows were put into cells but what the
public is getting everlastingly tired of is the
endless series of Investigations of rich men,
each one costing a little more than the one
before it, and all ending in nothing but fat
tened bank accounts for the Investigators,
A man is investigated If he is charitable
and he is investigated if he is not. His only
escape from cross examination is failure and
poverty But the Investigations go merrily
on, the most useless and disturbing things in
our whole system of government. We might
even get rid of some of the war" taxes by
first getting rid of the army of tax-eaters
who thrive on Investigations.
