Charity Department Rations
 Doled Out Every Morning 200 WERE IN LINE TODAY
Beans and Coffee Are the Staple Foods Given Out-Najority of Those Seeking Food are Span- iarils.

Although the city has not as yet established "soup Kitchen or bread line,' where those out of work and without funds may be fed, the municipal "beans and coffee line" is daily growing in numbers. Each morning hundreds are given sacks of beans and bags of coffee, at the store house of the charity department on Washington place, in quantities suffi- ciently large to comfortably feed them for ono day.
 Investigations are made by the de> partment before any food is ra- toned in any case. Those who are found to be actually in need of as- sistance are sent from the City Hall office to the storehouse. Nearly 200 were in line this morning.
 Since a majority of those who make up the ''beans and coffee" line are Spaniards and are not listed as resi- dents.'' the city will be reimbursed by the state for practically all the money spent

BEER NOT MEDICINE,
 DIR. WILEY DECLARES
Pure Food Expert Also Brands Home Brew" as Worst and Most
 Dangerous in the World.

Washington, May 20.-BeAr has not been recognized as a medicine by the medical profession in three or four decades, Dr. Harvey w. Wiley, pure food expert, told the house Judiciary committee today at hearings on the volstead bill to prevent sale of beer to the sick.
 There are no medical properties in beer, whatever may be said of it as a beverage" Dr. Wiley declared. The nearest thing to it is malt extract. which is so made as practically to exclude even a trace of alcohol. I never saw a prescription which con- tained beer as a remedial agent.
 The man who drinks too much beer is apt to develop obesity, and obesity is recognized as a disease. It is better to be under normal weight, than over.''
 How about home brew?" Dr. Wiley was asked.
 Ut is the poorest brew and the most dangerous in the world," he re- piled. eff you are going to have beer, it ought to be made scien- tifically."

FIRE CHIEF ALSO OBJECTS

By order of City Engineer Joseph D. Williams, the Connecticut company was restrained this morning from construct ing an overhead wire system near the Savings bank on Main street The pur- pose of the wires is to steady the trol- ley wire, it was explained.
 The city engineer was informed this morning that the wires were being placed without a permit from the cleo trical superintendent, the public works board or the police department En- gineer Williams, Electrical Superintend- ent George Cooley and Fire Chief William J. Noble conducted an investi- gation.
 In the opinion of the fire chief, the wires would greatly hamper the work of the fire department should a confiagra- tion develop in the buildings near Central park. The aerial ladder, which is one of the most useful pieces of ap- paratus in the local departments equip ment for fighting fires such as would be likely to break out in the center of the city. would be rendered entirely use- less, he explained.
