WEDNESDAY, OUTGBER 8B, 1919 the Po O establish that the 2.51% beer to be voted on--the "Beer of the Ballot"--is not intoxicating, The Ontario Brewers' Association deposited $5,000 with the Canada Per- manent Trust Company on September 16th. § On September 19th, The Ontario Brewers' Association formally challenged the Refer- endum Committee through the Press to deposit an equal amount with the same Trust Company to support their con- tention that this beer is intoxi- cating. - § That challenge has never been accepted--clear admittance by the Referendum Committee they do not consider that they have a case. It is too late now to make the tests and render a decision before the day of voting --October 20th--but the failure of the Referendum Committee to answer our-challenge will not be overlooked by the man or woman who votes on facts and evidence, and 'not on sentiment or-false statements. q We again assert that 2.51% beer--'""The Beer of the Ballot' -- is not intoxicating. Tests-have only recently been made "which prove this conclusively--we will mail a copy of the test to anyone sufficently interested to write - for it. * § Moreover, while the "Beer of the Ballot" has an alcoholic strength of but 2.51%, official tests made by the laboratory of the Inland Revenue Department --published in Bulletin 196-- showed that the beers on general sale before The Ontario Tem- perance Act and Prohibition were enacted, had an alcoholic content ranging as high as 7.33% by weight measure--practically three times as strong as the . beer to be voted on October + 20th. Even such American beers as were 'sold in Canada and always spoken of as "very light, non-intoxicating beers," were over fifty per cent. stronger than the "Beer of the Ballot." Q The "Beer of the Ballot" is a mildly stimulating, healthful and refreshing beverage, brewed from a high grade of malt and hops--containing only sufficient alcohol to make it digestible and nourishing. | Ontario Brewers' Association a 3 yn om AFTER FORTY YEARS THERE.

Beer be- fuddles and unnerves. N this new world of machinery and power the "boozer" has no place. In the railway business the confirmed "boozer" can't be trusted with the livesof his fellows. The Railway Brotherhoods don't want him. Beer makes him 'un- steady. On the streets and highroads the "joy rider with' booze on board" is a menace to traffic, te his own life and to the lives of others. Beer makes motoring dangerous. : ~ Flying-men learned the disas- trous results of alcohol taken pre- -paratory to encountering the en- emy in mid-air. Alcohol was proved by casualties to shake the perves and destroy control. Beer impairs judgment. In business and industrial or- ganizations, the drinking man is . the "last man hired and first man fired." Beer makes men slow, stupid, and unreliable. ~ Beer and all other intoxicating beverages have no (place in a. world run by machinery. The safety of too many others is in- volved when an unsteady hand and a drink-befuddled brain is left iri control of the steering wheel or thé engine throttle. Remember that the Beer of the ballot is intoxicating beer. Mark Your Ballot with an X after each question under the word **No." If you don't mark an X after each question your ballot is spoiled.
