except at a pinch and under certa-a
national administrations, but must
have beer and other things that are
stronger in satifaction gwen than
in actual nourishment."
This sentence is part OF an arti-
Gle on "Beer-the workingman'
good food" in the current edition
OF the Coebel Brewery's Pure Food
Magazine. As in its previous edi-
ton, the magazine hioes the fact OF
its ownership behind tne name OF
Lewis w. Knapp. NJ. d.. Or. Knapp
being the advertising manager of
Goebels.
With the statewide prohibition
campaign now IN full blast. there is
less effort being made to conceal
the purpose OF the magazine. which
is sent free TO whoever asks for Il.
Every article contains some arg1i-
ment in favor of license. or else
such statements as. "In the entire
distorted prohibition movement Of
our country there Is included lib
eral complement of hypocrisy"
In fact, the whole paper bears the
appearance Of having been started
by Goebers brewery for campaign
purposes. The articles in this Is.
sue are entitled Hops and malt are
Gods gifts" The digestihility Of
cereals" Malt for expectant moth
ers." What beer really is" why
the consumption OF beer is really in
creaslng in the United States" and
The importance OF cereals TO the
prosperity OF the country"

Because OF the increased burden
on the fund, Postmaster Nagel said

doubled. The fund is working on
the basis that every case taken of
It's hands increases its ability to

aspect Of the case, the chiropodists

Would Submit Ques-
ton to People
WINDMILL POINT
SITE is IDEAL
Fine Sand Beach Would
Provide Ample Ac-
cOmmOdatiOns

A large expenditure to increase
Detroit's public bathing facilities
would be better economy than TO
keep on making small extensions,
according 10 Park Commissioner
Dust. who is in favor OF having the
question put before the voters at
the spring election next year. In
this view. he is supported by tho
common council committee on parks
and boulevards.
The park commissioner and Aid.
Ellis and Krimmel visited Windmill
Point. wednesday. TO look over
sites for another public beach in
line with Dust's Recommendation TO
the council Monday a,gnt. which
emphasized the inaoequacy OF pres
ent accommodations on Belle Isle.
IL was found that the most suit
able site Is stretch OF shore line
iioih TOA 'it'h ~ ~ mt quar-
ter OF mile eastward, where sand
beach extends 1000 feet into the De
troit river before reaching a depth
OF six feet. The property is valued
at $400 a foot.
Commissioner Dust said the cost
OF a beach at this point would
reach half a million dollars, but at
that igure bathers could be taken
care OF for Is or 20 years, allowing
for continuance OF the city's rapid
expansion.
Fifty thousand bathers would be
accommodated al Windrlill Point AT
one time" said Dust. There Is no
use In a small enlargement program
which the city would soon outgrow."
Proposals for beach In the
western part OF the city on the old
Fort Wayne grounds are not favor
ed because OF impure water at that
point Much sewage passes the
grounds. while no waste is djscharg-
ed into the river above Windmill
