BARLEY OFTEN OMITTED Witness Representing- Consumers' League Tells of Company That Offers to Make Beverage From Cabbage Leaves. TVASHIXOTON, Aug-. 1. A letter written by Secretary Wilson of the De partment of Agriculture, was read be fore the Board oT Food and Drug- In spection, which Is Inquiring Into the Ingredients of beer, today. The letter was written January J4. 1911, to 8. D. KOmp, of Indianapolis, Ind., a barley dealer. Secretary Wil son saya: "I have Just been Interviewing; our chemists and pure food experts along barley lines and it Is in their minas and mlns to reach something definite with regard to what beer Is. We could require that beer made from anything else than barley should have a label showing Its component parts: I think we can get that far. If we find that any beers Injurious to the public health are being- made, we could de clare them adulterated and stop the In terstate trade In them.. People in Darkness. "It seems to be a subject concerning which our people know less than al most anything else, but I have been urging Inquiry Into It: I am In sym pathy with you along this line. Inves tigation will bring the facts and we will have an Investigation made." Lawrence Maxwell, of Cincinnati, ex United States Solicitor General and now representative of thousands of corn growers In the Middle West, pro tested against the movement to label specifically the beers made from pro ducts other than barley malt and hops. Large display advertisements In brewing Journals offering to the brew ing trade various kinds of chemicals for coloring and preserving beer were produced by John R. Mauff, of Chicago. Cheaper Grains tTsed. Mr. Mauff, who represents the Ra tional Consumers' League, as . well as the Barley Growers of tbe Northwest, also charged that letterheads and ad vertisements of brewers themselves contained Illustrations of barley, malt and hops when, as a matter of fact, their beers were made of corn, rye and other substitutes. . He said barley was not used because other grains were cheaper and that "cheap beers had brought about the disastrous cheap saloons." "Why." said Mr. Mauff. 'there's one company saying It can make beer out of cabbage leaves." " One advertisement said: "If you only knew what we know about beer, you would drink no other than our beer." "Yes." commented Dr. Wiley, "maybe If we knew what they know about beer we would not drink beer at all." BULLDOG KILLS HOUSE FAMOUS THOROUGHBRED GETS OWNER IX TROUBLE.

PALMER PROPHETIC which, he said, he had opposed before the measure was passed, although" he added that he would not now avocate the repeal of thla agreement. The con sumer here, he acknowledged, was get ting the benefit of Cuban reciprocity. "How many acres would be required to raise all the beets needed to sup ply the home market?" asked Repre sentative Madison. "About 3.000,000 acres, but this would mean that about E2. 000, 000 acres would get the benefit of the beet sugar In dustry because the farmers should ro tate beets with other crops and plant a tract with beets only once every four years. Thus 12.000,000 acres of land would be enriched." In discussing the coffee Industry. Mr. Palmer said enormous profits are made In that business And. that most of the coffees sold at high prices labelled as select brands are ffotwhat they pur port to be. He said capital would not continue to go into the beet sugar industry without assnranoe that the tariff would be left alone. He said the retailer gets tha largest part of the profit In tea. sugar and coffee and that the Ameri can people paid more than $2,000,000,000 over and above the factory or Import prices for these three articles between 1907 and 1S08.
