DYING A NATURAL DEATH
A Brewer Who Finds a Better Use
for His Brewery.

The liquor business is dying a nat
ural death. The so-called small brew
ers have been given their death certi-
ficates and the profits to be gained
In the big breweries are so small that
they are not good investments.
This is statement made by Freder.
lex Wolf, Philadelphia brewer, quoted
in the North American Mr.. Wolf
permitted his brewery license to lapse
and explained why he did 80. He
said
II am quitting business and will turn
my brewery into factory. There is
no money In the brewery business
and It Is getting worse every year
The cost Of labor and material Is ris.
ing, and on the other hand many are
cutting out beer and liquors. There
is but one alternative and that is To
quit the business.
IF anybody takes the trouble to ex
anime the records Of the internal rev.
enue department, he will find that the
liquor business is receiving some hard
smashes. There is less consumed
each year and month. That means
that the small brewers must quit, and
the little business left will be done
by the large concerns. They are IN
position to fight for life, because
their capital will permit them 70 help
the retailers. The latter are also do
ing business and must be helped to
buy their licenses The brewers must
go to their aid"
In one week, according to the North
American, 20 liquor licenses were al
lowed to lapse in Philadelphia. In
the list were seven retail, ten whole
Gale, one bottling and two brewing IL
censes.

POOLING THE cREDULoUs

Fraudulent schemes suppressed by

over $239,000.000 from the gulliblc
American public in the past four
years. One concern had receipts of

Of fake anti-fat preparation was able
to spend $4,000 in a single month on
advertising. People in i'll health seem

ring, called an electrochemical ring,

all excess of acid in the system and
thus to cure and keep cured such dis.

BEFORE BREAKFAST

If you are accustomed to wake up
with a coated tongue, foul breath or
a dun, dizzy headache; or, II your
meals sour and turn into gas and
acids, you have a real surprise await
ing you.
Tomorrow morning, Immediately
upon arising, drink a glass OF hot
water with a teaspoonful OF limestone
phosphate in IL. This Is intended to
first neutralize and then wash out or
your stomach, liver, kidneys and
thirty feet of intestines all the indi-
gestible waste, poisons, sour bile and
toxins, thus cleansing, sweetening and
purifying the entire alimentary canal.
Those subject to sick headaches,
backache, bilious attacks, constipation
or any form OF stomach trouble, are
urged to get quarter pound OF lime
stone phosphate from the drug store
and begin enjoying this morning in
side-bath. II is said that men and
women who try this become enthu-

the skin pores do not absorb impuri-

while the bowel pores do.

it. Just as hot water and soap cleanse,
purify and freshen the skin, so hot
water and a teaspoonful OF limestone
phosphate act on the stomach, liver,
kidneys and bowels. Limestone phos-
phate is an inexpensive white powder
