DOCTORS APPROVE BEER
AS AID TO DIGESTION
Authorities Agree: Beer Is An
Efficient Stomach Tonic, Pro-
notes Increased Appetite

A study of doctors opinions con-
corning beer, by the Brewers Institute
of Maryland, Inc, shows general ap-
proval of the moderation beverage.
Walter E. Moles, Professor of Ex-
perimental Psychology, Yale Univer-
sity, in an article in Haven Emerson's
book, quotes from Ernest H. Startling
of London, as follows: Speaking of
a glass of beer with the meals, Star
ling says, Man has obtained not only
greater enjoyment with his meal, re-
sulting in increase of appetite and
consequent improvement in the proc
ess of digestion, but the greater en-
ioyment is due itself to the fact that
this small dose of alcohol has given
him repose Of spirit from the endless
worries of the days work. Under the
quoting influence of a glass of beer,
he acquires a restful and contented
frame of mind, in which he takes a
more sanguine view of the present and
of the future. He leaves difficulties
and dangers It'll tomorrow, when he
will be prepared to deal with them
refreshed and restored by the nights
Sleep"
DR.. George Butler, Professor of
Therapeutics and Pharmacology, in
the Chicago College of Medicine and
Surgery, in his textbook wrote, CAL
cohol in the form of beer taken before
or during meals is an efficient stomach
tonic, tonic for weakened digestion
which accompanies or follows an
acute disease. Convalescents are
often greatly benefited by beer"
Professor Hobart Hare, Professor
of Therapeutics and material medica,
at the jefferson Medical College, Phil
adelphia, in his book says: 'TNot only
is beer a food, but it is a tonic, a mild
stimulant, and tissue builder"

If brighter paths should beckon you

Impartial Survey
Before Considering
Charter Changes

Before any attempt is made TO
reconstruct the Tacoma city char
ter of 1927, or to revise it in the
interests of better municipal gov
eminent, the most important re-
quirement is an impartial expert
survey of local government here.
That was the conclusion and re-
port of the special executive COM
mitee, which called together

throp Tuesday evening,
Approximately so attended the
gathering and, as individuals.

report. Efforts now will be con-
centrated on getting the full text
of the report into the hands of all
interested individuals and before
all civic clubs.
MAYOR STARTED IT
Attorney Joseph Fl. Gordon jr.
presided at the Winthrop meeting,
as chairman of the reporting COM
mittee.
Gordon's committee was the out
growth of private meeting of
citizens called by Mayor Kaufman
Dec. II, at which time the mayor,
announcing his intention not to be
a candidate for election in this
spring campaign, asserted many
flaws exist in Tacoma's govern
mental functions under the present
charter.
GO SLOW. THEY SAY
Although kaufman then insisted
the charter needed complete re-
vision, and urged immediate action
to elect freeholders for that pur-
pose, the committee, which has
spent the intervening two months
in study, definitely recommends
no attempt be made to elect free
holders or revise the charter until
an expert survey, with recommend
atoms, can be obtained.
One point of the committees re-
port stresses the Importance of
such a survey being financed d.
