BEER NOT A CLOUD BREAD"


1t is hard to conceive q more mis-
leading statement than to call beer
"liGuid bread" The facts are that the
grains out of which beer is made do
contain Il deal of nourishment, adapt
ed both for fuel and tissue-build
ing In the process of beer-making the
materials are mostly destroyed and
removed by the process Of clarifying.
AS result the final product has lost
practically all of the tissue-building
material it ever contained, and most
of it's fuel food has been converted
into alcohol, which has less fuel value,
to say nothing Of it's poisoning effect
upon the nervous system. Before the
fermentation the material might pos
sibly be called "liquid bread" but not
after the fermentation and claritica-
ton; for these processes have de-
stroyed nearly all the value it orig
inally possessed. The final product
has no tissue-buildlng value. only a
little fuel value and in addition has
poisoning action upon the nervous
system. Bread has large value as a
tissue-builder and also as q fuel, and
in addition has no bad effect upon the
nervous system. TO call beer ''liQuid
bread" is therefore utterly false and
badly misleading.-Prof. II. w. Conn,
in the Christian Advocate.

A BANKERS TESTIMONY TO THE
ADVANTAGES OF A DRY STATE.

Mr.. Gordon Jones, a leading banker
of Denver, writing in the Denver Post
concerning the effects of a year of pro-
hibition in that city, says:
"The most remarkable thing about
Dcnver's change from wet to dry
regime was the ease with which that
change was made. There was no cri-
sis in finances, and business affairs
were conducted under the new condi-
tons without perceptible hitch in
their machinery.
"ln the banking business. especially
in bank that has savings depart
inent. ii is not difficult to trace the
benefits Of q cessation of common and
public drinking. The fact that in the
first ten months of 1916 the savings
accounts in Denver banks We're in
creased by nearly $4,000 is proof that
prohibition has enhanced thrift. Tax
collections in six months were as large
as for the entire year Of 1915, showing
fhat the money that went into the pur-
chase Of liquor has gone to pay the
expenses of government.
81 have lawyer friend who is at
torney for FIVE former liquor dealers,
and he tells me he has talked over the
situation with them and that all de-
clare they would rot only never re-
enter the business if liquor We're re-
stored, but that if the opportunity ever
came TO them they would vote for pro-
hibition.
"To sum up the effect OF prohibition
on business, / can say that collections
have been generally better: men are
buying better goods and better food
real estate men say that their rentals
are paid more promptly; there is no
idleness among our workers; our
people are more thrifty; but. above all.
there is spirit of cheerfulness that
was never so pronounced as in the first
twelve months of dry Colorado

manufacture of liquids which sap the
vitality and efficiency of its people
without adding any desirable or useful
qualify, thus leaving the nation de-
pence upon the outside world for its
bread and cereal foods. Such q prac-
tice is fundamental economic error,
ard it seems to have taken This great
war to teach the folly of such a
method" says Farming Business Of
Chicago.
"The great war has taught the ma
tons of the earth, as no moral wave
or religious campaign ever could have
taught them, the absolute uselessness
Of alcoholic beverages. IL is NOT a
moral lesson which is being taught so
much as it is an economic lesson. And
out of this war will come the great
est good which ever yet has been done
to the cause of temperance and OF per-
sonal and national efficiency for it will
have taught very forcefully the indi.
yidual and national damage which
comes from diverting the grains of the
world to the manufacture of harmful
drinks rather than using them for the
manufacture of bread and other foods"

Tho Shame Of Missouri.

LFrom the st. Louis Globe-Democrat.]
The Sixty-fourth congress has passed
out of existence with dark blot upon
Its record, put there during its expiring
moments by little group OF senators
who took advantage Of rule Of the
senate or the lack Of a rule to defeat
the almost unanimous wish of the con-
grcss and to leave the nation in per-
ilous state of uncertainty at a moment
when certainty is essential to main
tenancc Of our proper position before
the world as well as for the retention
Of our self respect. That this opposi-
ton was led by the chairman of the
foreign relations committee adds to
the shame the country must feel in this
disgraceful tiasco, and particularly to
the shame Of the people of the state
whom he so unworthily represents.

COMMENT On FAILURE
TO BACK UP WILSON
Papers Generally Condemn Sen
ate For Not Passing LegisIa-
ton President Strongly Urged.
People Must Be United.

FeoPIo MUST DC Onite0s
Following is the comment of various
papers, picked at random, on the fail
ure of congress to pass the armed mer-
chant ship bill:
[From the New York Journal Of Com
nlerce
There is every reason for trusting
the president and the naval force at
his command not to commit any overt
act or provoke war, whatever the mis-
guided and misruled Germans may pro-
TESS to believe. His own countlymen
have every reason for understanding
his purpose, which they would be glad
to have carried into effect if it could
be honorably done. If this is not to be
the case, which seems likely now, the
people must come together with no
thought of party, and if it should he
necessary to call the new congress to
determine upon an inevitable declara-
ton Of war it is to be hoped that it
will not countenance any such unseem-
ly behavior as that which disgraced
the congress that has just expired.
1t is devoutly to he hoped that the
president will be able to hold steady
and skillful guiding hand and make
an earnest and effective appeal to the
better sense Of the people, which will
bring them to the support of their gov
eminent, before there is any occasion
for calling the new congress together.

PIGS. BLIND AND OTHERWISE.

Liquor men would have us believe
that blind pigs flourish only in dry
communities. 1t is. therefore. surpris'
ing % to learn that in New York city
1000 places are selling liquor without
q license. This statement was made
by q member of the New York excise
board in an appeal to that body in be-
half of "the poor licensed bars" pigs
which are protected-pigs in clover
50 to speak.
Then there is San Francisco. A
liquor jour,ial-the Wholesalers and
Retailers Reviews authority for
the statement that "the blind pig stu
alton in Sen Francisco has passed all
reasonable bounds. According to the
best opinion there are now about 1000
places il this city in which liquor is
sold without I, license

CLOSE THE MAILS TO LIQUOR
TRAFFIC.

There is u growing protest all over
the country against the use of the
United States mails for liquor adver-
Using and solicitation, and congress at
the present writing is being deluged
With petitions asking that law be
enacted prohibiting such use.
'The government found it possible
to close the mails to the Louisiana lot
terry and it did so for the sole reason
that men and women were being de.
stroyed by the lottery" says Mr. Rich
ard II. Edmonds. editor of the Manu-
facturers' Record. But where the
lottery destroyed one, the liquor bust
ness destroys ten, and where the gov
ernment had one reason for banning
the lottery from the mails, it has ten
for closing the mails to the whisky
men,"

The People Should Be Heard.

[From the Portland (Ore) C-egonian.l
The Oregonian believes that the
American people are truly represented
by the 4O3 representatives who voted
for the armed neutrality bill and by
the eighty-four senator's who were
ready to vote for it, not by the thir-
teen representative who voted against
it nor by the twelve senators who pro-
vented vote on it. The time has
come for the great voice of the Ameri-
can people to he heard.

"Merely a Question"

From the Des Moines Qa) Registerl
1t is not matter Of leaving the
country without protection for its mcr-
chant vessels or unprotected with re-
gard to any Of its other rights or du-
ties as neutral or as participant III
the war. 1t is merely Il question
whether new and hitherto undelegated
powers shall be conferred upon the
president or whether we shall cling
to the precedents Of the fathers and
leave with congress everything having
to do with a military establishment,
getting ready for war and declaring
war.
