FINDS BEER IS
 NECESSARY FOR
 HEAVY WORKERS
England Hears Experts Who Tell of Beverages Food
 Value For Men.

LonSdon, May 1S.-Inf1uential repre- eentafions have been made to the Ministry of Food that the continua- tion of brewing in Great Britain is likely to make it more difficult to get increased export of cereals from America Kennedy Jones, Director of Food Economy. gave the Associated Press an authoritative statement in regard to the restrictions already inn posed on brewing and the complexi- ties of the problem. He said:
 I've quite realize that misapprehen- sion may exist in the United States regarding our beer consumption. That is only natural We are daily receiv- ing letters from numbers in this coun- try who consider that they are ab- solved from the necessity Of saving bread because other people drink beer and who demand that, as first step in food economy all brewing should cease.
 As things stand no more barley will be matted in this country except a small quantity for use as co1oring matter, The last barley was matted in February. Therefore the only question is. would there be a very valuable saving in food by mixing the malt which exists with flour and lAAAAnSi ~ 4iktO "'h <~cSA DkA1OA lAAr1h ny using it for the brewing of beer? A strong body of scientific opinion holds that beer has it's food valre. Apart from that 1t is fact that only a small percentage of malt-not more than five per cent-can be mixed with four in bread making as it produces q sticky and unpalatible loaf.
 'tWhether the brewing of beer shall be stopped at once and the barley al- ready matted used for mixing flour is question of policy and hinges on the point whether the malt in bread or in beer will secure the most efficient prosecution of the war. Unlike Amer lea, beer has been for centuries part of the daily diet of our working class9s. The first duty and the first effort of those responsible for the or dering of public affairs is to secure a maximum output of work for the prosecution of the war from all work CTS, A great number of men engaged in very heavy manual labor, as, for example, men working at blast fur naees, must drink considerable Tnalty liquid. This is not only a practical fact; it is a scientific fact The bulk of these men are in the habit of talk ing that liquid in the form of beer The question is not wi1sther cold tea Tputd be better for them, but whai

would be the effect on the output of work by suddenly, cutting off their supply of beer.
 Moreover, we may well take a leaf out of Germanyis book in this matter. That country, which again is unlike the United States in that beer is part of it's normal diet, is in the matter of food now scientifically organized, with a view to supplying it's workers with a maximum of energy for the prose cution of the war. South Germany is still brewing 35 per cent. of it's pre- war quantity of half per cent, yet no one would suggest that the food sit uatson in Germany has not been seri- ous for the last 12 Inonths.'' @

HURRY-UP HOP

 FOR A BENEFIT
Belgian Relief Affair Is To Be Given the Big Wind-Up Tonight
 at EIkS' Hall.

It was on this afternoon, but the real big ending is tonight at Elks' hall In other words the benefit card party. knick-knack sale and general bazaar given as a benefit for the relief of starving Belgians which was arranged by the ladies of Juneau, started with the card playing and tea this afternoon. To- night the grand finale will be pull ed of and this is no more nor less than the "hurry-up" jitney dance, also card playing. The ladies pos itiyely refuse to diYulge what else will be sprung-but it is sufficient to know that they are wise to it and this new stunt will be appre- ciated. Tonight. prominent men of the city will be found assisting the ladies.
 Owing to the small charge for the different features, cards. dancing and supper. the attendance is ex- pected to be large and as the ob- iect is a most worthy one, it is practically a foregone conclusion that all Juneauites will participate some time during the evening.
