          SPECIAL VAUDEVILLE.

          It's one of the things I often prescribe. It will do you good if you use it moderately, as all men do who know what real temperance is.

          Beer is refreshing, exhilarating, nutritious, and a tonic. It promotes digestion and is a wholesome food beverage. When a man drinks beer he drinks and eats at the same time, just as when he eats a bowl of soup. The terms "eat" and "drink" are inconsistently used in pointing out the difference between what is merely quenching our thirst and what is actually consuming nourishment. In my opinion, a man might more properly be said to eat beer than to eat certain kinds of soup, or indeed watermelon.

          Drink beer and eat moderately. The moderate beer drinker and eater is in a far better position than the total abstainer, who often consumes an excess of solid food. Beer builds tissues, restores waste, furnishes heat, and produces energy.

          E. D. Ulrich, Chamber of Commerce, Portland, Oregon.
