It's Different Now

Five years ago a man dressed in a Palm Beach, Silk or Linen Suit was a curiosity. Today, any man who hasn't two or three such Suits avail able for hot days, isn't properly equipped for Summer.
 This "thin-clothes-idea" isn't just a fad;s or a mere passing style, either. It's good sound sense to wear what s appropriate and comfortable for the weather of the day; millions of men are finding it out; and these feather weight Suits you see everyone wear ing, are the answer.
 When you buy them, remember this. They're not all alike. A good many such Suits are made to sell at a price. You can't expect good fit, style or laundering qualities unless you pay a fair price. You can get good ones here at $S up; finely hand-tailored by Schloss Bros & Co, just like the best Woolen Suits; they're the Rind to buy.

Beer Best Brain Foot, SaysPrOE Chandler
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 bever-
age prepared from barley, water, hops and
yeast. Beer is food. American beer con-
tains per cent. solid food, only 3 to 4 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-
airy quantities and beer is one of the foods
that is free from bacteria. 1t is appetiz-
ing and aids digestion. l have had some
experience with beer and have been a con-
sumner. have enjoyed most perfect health
and guess am pretty good specimen
Of the food value of beer.
Il don't believe there IL 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
national beverage"
