JOKE BEER

1t begins to look as if the Canadian province of
Ontario has been playing practical joke on Ameri
cans, or its own people, or both. The famous beer
that is flowing, after long delay and vast
amount of publicity, is the joke.
The "four-pont-four,' it develops, is not "per
cent but proof" This is highly technical dstinc
ton the upshot of which that the beverage only has
half the amount of alcohol it has been supposed to
have, in volume, and still less if reckoned in weight.
1t appears to be about equivalent to what Americans
would call per cent beer. Our preprohibtion "beer
with kick in it," which connoisseurs recall with such
gusto, is said to have been three four times
strong.
Yet Americans swarm to Canada to get drunk
that mild beverage And strange to say, lot of
them to succeed. Great is the power of the hu
man imagination Many professor of psychology has
obtained scandalous results by giving his students
non-alcoholic beverage and telling them it intox-
icating The who wants happy jag" enough to
go to foreign land for it get it on almost any
thing.
If the figures correct normal man, drinking
in Missourian spirit might drink enough Ontario
beer to make him burst before arriving at stage of
demonstrable ntoxication His cargo of malt liquor,
Of course, would make him feel and act "dopy"
or later. similar cargo of water soup has been
known to have the effect.
Moral if any: Americans might we'll stay home

SAVE THE OUTDOORS

Probably no picnieker or automobile tourist who
leaves behind him litter of rubbish burning camp
fire deliberately proposes to show bad do
any damage. The present generation of picnckers,
too is hardly any careless than earlier genera
tions.
Yet the menace to camping grounds, parks, woods
and any attractive outdoor place accessible to picnic
parties is growing right along There are more
people going outdoor jaunts and because of the
tor car they go farther and invade greater
and ruin beautiful scenery than formerly
For these it does necessary for civic
organizations nature clubs and publcoffcias to keep
up the campaign of public education this subject.
OF everybody gets tired of being told continu
ally not to leave litter about not to leave fires
burning not to pull branches off trees and not to pluck
Widflowers pull up plants. Yet, if this years and
next years pcnckers do not heed the warning time
may come when there welcome shade peaceful
woods unspoiled springs and charming streams for
anybody to enjoy.
