Misquoted DR.. Wiley.

Misquoted DR.. Wiley.
/ Brewers are careless Of the truth. In
their advertisements they falsely quote
persons in an effort TO aid their cause.
Time and again Lincoln has been mis-
quoted by the vets When the liquor
, interests have been challenged TO verify
! their claims that Lincoln ever said any
thing IN defense OF the saloon, they have
failed TO produce the evidence.
The brewers do not always wait for
man 10 die before mlsquoting him. This
is the case with DR.. Harvey w. Wiley,
a well-krown scientific expert. DR..
Wiley was quoted in beer advertise
ment as saying, "Beer is veritable iood
product" A reader asked DR.. Wiley
through Good Housekeeping if he had
made such a statement, and DR.. Wiley
makes this reply:
"This letter is typical OF dozens that
have received, and il is with no small de-
gree of discomiortthat think OF the many
who have read such advertisements and
been misled by them want TO assure
the readers OF Good Housekeeping that
the use OF my name in advertising beer
in this way is wholly unauthorized. j do
not know where in my writings or public
addresses ever - that beer was
'verltable food product In any case il
is never far 10 d chemist or investigator
OF any kind 10 take phrase from his con-
text and use II in this way for advertising
purposes. Furthermore, in the last lew
years, have been luesIStibly driven 10
the conclusion that the best thing Tor the
mental and physical health OF our people
would be the complete abolition OF the
commerce in alcoholic beverages. This
conviction makes il doubly irksome for
me 10 see my name continually used TO
promote the sale OF beer as a food"
The brewers made The mistake OF lying
about DR.. Wiley while he was alive and
now wish they had not done it,
AMissouripas looked over his glasses
and shook his uncut locks.

The pastors voice rang out. YOU'RE

he roared. "And things will be kept
very, very hot for you Let us now sing

Prof. NJ. Z. Jaifa, the nutrition expert
OF the University OF California, at Berke-
ley, that State, declares that different sorts
OF food have distinct but varying effects
uponthe moral character Of human beings.
"lf one eats chicken exclusively il
brings out the finest qualities OF the per
sons higher nature" he says. 81 once
knew an actor who always ate large guam
titles OF beef before playing heavy tragic
role. He found the added savsgefy aided
