This Is the DOC" That
Makes the Malt That
These Few Lines Refer To

When a person is sick, doctor IS
called.
The same with a horse, or a cow. or
a dog, or cat.
In these latter instances they. OF
course, call a veterinary.
A veterinary is a doctor, only he Is
horse doctor, or a cow doctor, or dog
doctor, or a cat doctor, as the case may
be.
The case in hand is q sick state.
The state is Michigan
Michigan is SICK OF BOOZE.
Michigan's case is found today, in this
column, in the hands Of two doctors
One of these is a doctor, in this-iH-
stance, neither Of horses, cows, dogs or
cats, but doctor Of facts-follow Us
please: doctor of doctored facts.
The other doctor says he is, and says
this other doctor isn't competent to help
Michigans case bit.
He goes on the principle that like
cures like or the same principle follow
cd by the consumer of highballs the
night before who thinks he has to have
one before he can go to work the next
morning, and who generally doesn't get
to work at all, in consequence.
Michigan having been on big spree
for many, many years, this doctor ad-
vises that what Michigan needs is more
Of the same stuff.
The doctor recommends a brewers ey-
tract for Michigan, but the exact man
ner in which he recommends 1t is best
set forth in his letter, which We viii
quote.
1t was written by Lewis W Knapp.

of the Extract Department
