TEMPERANCE AND BEER * & "Beer should not - be (glassed as an anco- holie drink, but as a stimulating beverage; and that the brewers of beer are not engaged in the liquor industry." This is a bit. of "pews" sent out by "The Quebec Moderation League." "It seems that the general misunderstanding about beer is the fault of the Government. that has carelessly classed beer "with wine, and so called hard liquors, under one all embracing classification." Such a misunderstanding is most unfortunate - (from the brewer's point" of view) because the : "Such is the patriot's boast, where'er we roam: His first, best country ever is at heme." . need not be deluded in this respect either.

Food value of Beer "When a man drinks beer, he drinks and eats at the same time." "One part of beer is equal in food value to two ounces of bread, or nearly one once of meat, as to quantity of al- .-bumen." : A "part" is not defined, so we are a little at _ sea as to quantity of beer req ed. To gain this nourishment the population o Ontario consumes annually 21,618,909 gallons of beer (6.2 gallons per capita); and the population of Quebec 19,- 383,426 gallons of beer (6.7 gallons per capita.)

But it would be safe to say that Government tax would be looked upon as part of the overhead expense, ~ which deterimnes the_price of" beer, and which in turn requires the consumer to. pay the tax.
