Professor Charles Frederick Chand ler of Columbia University, a well known chemist, declares that beer is the best brain food. In a recent ad dress he said: "Beer is a beverage contains 6 per cent solid food, only 3 to 4 per cent alcohol and also lecithin, which is real brain food. Beer and bread both made from cer eals bread with water and is solid 1 beer with more water and is liquid. cottv Ye 8 ert both into palatable and T.S...STM readily digested food. Both contain alcohol. Beer ig not intoxicating in offfinaty quantities and beer is one 'of the foods that is free from bac teria. It is appetizirg and aids di gestfon.
