Facts About Beer Os beer, Liebig, the great chemist, says: “There is more nourishment in as much flour as will lie on a table knife than in nine quarts of beer.” “Beer, wine, spirits, etc., furnish no elements capable of entering into the composition of blood, muscular fibre, or any other part which is the seat of the vital principle.” Dr. R'.dge says: “There is as much nourishment in a pennyworth of bread I as in a gallon of ale.” Sir Michael Foster goes still further and says: “There is no more nourishment in a gallon of beer than found in a lump of sugar.” “Beer is not real food. You may put all the nourishing portion in a gallon of the best beer ever brewed on the end of an ordinary table knife. So little nourishment is there in it that you would have to be drunk over and over again before you could swallow enough beer to supply nourishing food sufficient for a square meal.” Washington a Mason.

INDIANA MILK THE PUREST. ; • Chicago s Milk Supply to Come Mostly From Indiana. f I’he Indiana dairymen will, before long, supply almost all the dairy pror duets used in Chicago, ie a report made -by State Food Inspectors Bert W. Cohn 1 I and F. . Tucker, who nave returned from the dairy exhibit in Chicago. In r conference with H. E Barnard, state t food and drug commissioner, on their 1 । return, they quoted Dr. 11. W. Evans, . ' health commissioner of Chicago, as hav- - ' ing said: I “Indiana is far in advance of Illinois in the matter of sanitary milk producti ion, and unless Illinois dairymen get 1 together and bring their products up to the high standard of those in Indiana, the latter state, instead of the «Elgin district, will soon be supplying all the Chicago trade. Chicago has an ordinance providing I that no dairy product shall be received in that city except from dairy farms inspected aud approved by commissioned inspectors The ordinance was primarily aimed at the northern Indiana field and to protect the dairy interests in that part of the state Itie Indiana *■- ii- i d-ug ar: ■ t ou- -4 ---.5 two vears ~ imcr ' k ^'A 1 A I sefu! and Ornamental v n :■ ' . c - .. j- r - ‘ RJSS HARDWARE STORE j £w era Keys isi Locks ■ware Ts**are -■V . - GEO.
