Beer a Food"

Professor Charles Frederick Chano-
ler of Columbia University, a we'll
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 per cent solid food. only
2 to per cent alcohol and also
lecithin, 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. It is appetiZing 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"

County Option.

The liquor problem must be
handled, but it must be handled prac-
tlcally. The trouble with county op.
tion as it is now proposed is that it is
neither fair nor practical.
County option makes a good deal
of noise in Minnesota, and seems to
have a good many followers. Yet
there is no evidence yet that the state
is determined upon getting it. Four
years ago Democrat, Mr.. Gray, ran
Tor governor on county option
platform, and was beaten. This year
Mr.. Lee, a Republican, ran for gov.
ernor on county option platform,

They are generously going to teach us
in lectures, the way to avoid the physical
and mental pitfalls which are all about

Times has been giving considerable space
upon this page from day to day.
They are not goina 10 wait until we are

American Youth Make
Sorry Showing AS Essayists

The Burns club of Detroit offered
prizes to the high school students Of this
city some time ago, for the best essay
on Robert Burns. The students respond
ed in large numbers and all the high
schools but the Cass Technical, contrib
uted. The prizes have just been award
ed and it may be somewhat significant
that the first prize was given, without a
dissenting voice to German, ]. Clarence
Kaufman, of the Northwestern High.
Thr second prize went to Ezra Litkin.
of the Central high, Russian boy who
four years ago could not speak English,
and another second prize had to be
found for Christina Cameron, of the
same school.
The third prize went without question
to Helen LETTERS, of the. Western high
school. The Rev. Hugh Jack, Edwin
Henderson and Edward Goodwillie were
the judges. Not one of the four prizes,
it will be observed. was awarded to the
budding native youth (of American par
entage) of this country; youth being used
in the masculine sense.
This may mean nothing and it may
mean much. 1t is possible that our boys
are only little way behind, but here are

Grafton Of new women close seconds.
Just what shall we think of all this
Lecturers from Europe are constantly
telling us that most of the intellectual
development of this country is finding its
most fertile breeding ground in the wo-
men; that the men are so absorbed in
their chase for the almighty dollar that
they have no time for such things;
that even college students are incapable
of original thought, excepting along lines
of business.
If all this is true, we are in bad way.
The higher development of the female
brain is much to be desired, but, unless
with it, comes the intellectual advance
ment of the masculine, we will not be any
farther along.
In this country abstract thought is
given no place in our daily lives and the
boy at school usually considers il as the
old fogy part of school system to be
gotten along with as easily as possible
and then cast aside. ...c1 1t
