CHICAGO, Dec. 18.—Reduce the
volume of alcohol in beer to 3 per cent
so as to make it a temperance drink
is the proposal of the leading brewers
in the country as a means of checking
the prohibition wave which threatens
to sweep away the great brewing in
dustry.
The brewers also join the ranks of
those who are fighting to do away with
the barroom. They propose, ip place
of the saloon, a place resembling a
restaurant, into which women will not
be ashamed to enter.
The opinions of the brewers were
gathered by the American Brewers’
Review. The concensus shows that
the brewers want to bring about
these changes:
Elimination of the bar.
Keep drinking places open to view
from the street and do away with all
secrecy.
Win for places where beer is sold
such a character that a man will not
hesitate to take his wife into them.
Convince the public of the error of
the idea that beer is a strong drink.
Separate the sale of beer from the
sale of whiskey.
Have the brewing industry aid in
the rigid enforcement of all laws re
lating to the sale of liquors.
New issues and new leadership for
the brewing industry.
Some of the brewers were in favor
of only 2 per cent of alcohol in beer,
but a majority seemed to prefer 3 per
cent as the maximum. At present
light beers average about 6V2 per cent
alcohol and ale and porter about 7
per cent.

Keep Your
Money?
Meyer Daniels had been accumulating
money for three years. It amounted to $1,700.

— be safe, he kept it in his house. His house was
destroyed by fire, and this $1,700 in paper
money, representing three gears’ economy, was
consumed.
If you are keeping money in your house, you
are running the risk of its loss by fire. Your

stroyed by fire.
