The Reason Why.

Inc reason why.
Editor virginian:
Sir,--Dr Wilson, chairman Of the
executive committee of the stimuli
taneous Evangelistic Campaign Move
ment, is apparently much depressed
over the lack of attendance at the
midday meetings at the Central Y.
NJ. G., A. Yesterday he declared that
unless the attendance was larger he
saw no reason why the meetings at
noon should continue.
Allow me the space to suggest that
there are hundreds Of young men
who would be glad to hear the
speakers and who want to attend the
MONDAY services. They must, how
ever. give up their dinner or luncheon
hour to do so. Now there are many
hard working men who are physical
~ unable to go without lunch to hear
the excellent dlscourses from min
listers who will be able to dine after
the service.
DR.. Wilson asks for suggestions.
Why not then let the ministers from
man employing other men or women
either for that matter add half an
hour to the luncheon hour. informing
them that 1t lie in order that they
may attend this service?
In my opinion there would be han
dreds to respond Isn't Is worth

DIR. Semmes Attack On Unfermeutcsi
SafTamental Wine.
Editor Virginian:
Sir,--ft Is to be regretted that so
good and servfceable man as Rev.
Thomas Semmss should make the al
! ok in this mornings Times-Dispatch
upon the prevailing general custom of
the use OF unfermented wine for sac
ramental purposes. He thinks that
| the Temperance women" are weak
Iening the cause OF temperance by this
extreme position" which is alleged
| to be contrary to the Divine purpose
| and scriptural teaching whereas. pre-
sumably, majority of Protesta mt
J congregations In this city use infer
mented wine in the sacrament. and
9 me of the Christian denominations
have incorporated this requirement in
their church canons. The statement
that the saviour used "fermented
wine in this sacrament and as test
of strength or to promote spiritual
growth IS. Of course. founded on Rev.
Semmes inferential deductions. and
certainly not upon any such scrip
turai declaration. Nor do read any
where in the Book anything that at
all tustifes the position that man
who rs not immune to temptation to
alcoholism at the sacramental board
is a. weakllnE. undesirable ioT - 'ist
Kingdom. The "weaklings" excited
the Se-.our's special sympathy and
selicftude. and the strong" are en-
Joined to bear the inhrmities OF the
weak" Az matter Of fact there
have been instances In this city OF
reformed men having been tripped by
the use Of termented wines in the
sacrament, They were In this re-
gard weddings indeed, but possess
ed souls for which the Saviour died.
No one wishes to force the unferment-
ed wine practice on DR.. Semnes, nor
deny his right of opinion; but the
position OF the alleged extremists Is
scripturaI and logical and IN keeping
with the genuine temperance trend Of
the times to discourage the use OF
alcohol

BREWERY BECOMES
MILK MANDATORY
Coors' Plant Is Making Success Ia
Handling New Products--Output
OF Ton a Day.

Denver, Col, March 1s.--Trans-
formation OF Coors' brewery plant In
to a matted milk factory has been
successfully accomplished, and Ceors'
matted milk is past the experimental
state as an additional product. the
concern Is undertaking the manufac-
ture from milk of refreshing drink
called Mannah
1t In reported that, after months
of experimentation. the matted milk
product Is now satisfactory to even
the supercriticsl taste of it's makers.
The product turned out heretofore
has been largely an experiment. but
the Coos factory will soon start To
manufacture the milk in large guam
titles
Last week the milk was packed for
the retail trade for the first time. The
Foss Drug Company, of Golden, re-
ceiving the first consignment of fam
iiy-sized Jars Heretofore all the milk
which has been manufactured has
gone TO the soda fountain trade.
Most of il has been used in Denver
and nearby territory. Now the Coors'
matted milk viii be sent throughout
Clorado and the other mountain
States.
VIII Make Ton Day.
Machinery has been ordered. and
will be installed by the first of July.
which will enable the plant to turn
out more than ton of the finished
product daily
Grover Coors. who is in charge OF
the new departure, has overcome
seemingly insurmountable difficulties
in the new enterprise. Not only was
he not able to buy milk making ma
chinery, but the few companies which
possessed the secret of manufacture
guarded 1t closely. Mr.. Coors was
not dfsmayed but by long experiment
tation, worked out the process Tor
himself. and at the same time adapted
much of the brewing machinery 70
the new task.
The new product. Mannah, which
the Golden factory has been manu-
featuring since the first OF the year,
is meeting with great success. The
sale of this refreshing drink has sur
prised even its inventors. and Is
serving to keep a part Of the big
Coors plant busy.
