BEER FROM YEAST
HINTS THE GROCER
Growing Demand in Wash
ington for the "Riser" His
Ground for Suspicion.

The latest indication that many
Washington families perhaps are
making the beer of by-gone days in
their homes is the fact that local
grocers report boom in the sale OF
yeast.
Robert C. De Vault, local representa-
tive of a national yeast company.
confirmed the statement that the
humble little yeast cake that mother
used to buy to make the Sunday
morning bread is now a much sought
article in the corner grocery.
He was not prepared to say. how
ever. that the increase is due to the
fact that the home folks have given
up baking for brewing. He was more
inclined to believe that the use of
yeast as medicine for the treatment
of blood diseases is responsible for
the present demand.
Beer Thirst or Blood Disease?
1t is now a common occurrence. he
said, for persons to buy six eight or ten
cakes Of yeast at time from the gro
Ger. But when you consider, he said.
that one cake would be sufficient for thu
small quantity of beer the average fam
lily brews at time. it did not seem to
him that they would buy ten cakes at {.
time il they were using it all to make
oldtime "suds'' with Kick"
II have the Names" said Mr.. De
Vault. ''of more than thirty-five reput-
| able physicians of Washington who now
recommend the use OF yeast dissolved
in water as a remedy for blood diseases,
I and I am inclined to believe that this
use Of yeast is largely responsible for
| it's increased demand here"
Not in the Secret.
A member of the Corby Company,
which operates a yeast plant at Lang
don, said that firm had no way Of judg-
| ing whether there il an increased de-
| mand for the rising cake in WASH
ington, as they sell only to wholesale
