Why Home-brewed
Beer Can Be Bad
For Your Health

BREWING beer at home, a habit that has

become widespread in the United
States since prohibition deprived the people
of the right to purchase pure and healthful
beer legally and openly, presents diffi-
culties and dangers of which those who
engage in it are rarely aware.

OME-BREWED beer can be actually danger-

ous ‘to those who drink it, for the home

brewer works by rule of thumb, perforce, and
usually has no acquaintance with or control over
the complex physical and chemical reactions that
take place in the brewing of beer. Pure beer can
only be made in a modern brewery by acientifi-
cally trained brewmasters who have at their dis-
posal the most modern equipment and who are
bound by the most exacting standards. _

[HE same materials which, in a modern brewery, are
made into pure, healthful beer, can become, in the
hands of a home brewer, a raw, incompletely fer-

mented, indigestible and harmful mixture unfit for con
sumption. But where an established brewery uses only
the highest grade of material—malt and hops~-tested for
purity, the home brewer is forced to purchase in stores
imported syrup concoctions of inferior malt and low-grade
hop extracts frequently blended with synthetic essences,
e product of such mixtures is always harmful to the -
stomach and digestive ayatem and dangerous to drink for
any length of time,

HE home brewer is hampered not only by lack of
knowledge of the science of brewing, but home
equipment does not include the elaborate plant ne«

cessary for prolonged sterilization and filtering to assure
a pure, healthful beer free from bacterial infection, In
heer that is the product of a perfectly equipped brewery
all fermentation fa complete; in home-brewed beer for-
mentation continues, and continues after it is consumed.
It is really an explosive mixture, whether in your stomach
or in the bottle, as shown by the way in which bottles

claims in the Babine mountains
are to come under one manage-
ment. Henry L. Messner recent-

ly arrived in Smithers in the in-
terest of New York financiers
who want something big to back.
The Babine Silver King has been
bonded through Jake Grismer
for a period of 5 years and the
Victoria group from P. J. Hig-
gins’ for a similar period. The
Little Joe and Highland Basin
groups are bonded for two years
from Martin Cain and Thos.King
There are some thirty-six claims
in these four groups, which, with
the Silver Saddle group owned by
Messner Bros, Messner and Har-.

The total sum involved is about
$400,000. The claims are situat-
ed in the Driftwood Creek dis-
trict about 13 miles from Smith-
ers and some very promising ore
bodies have been opened up on
the different groups, Pending
organization the promotors have
authorized development work to
the extent of some eight or ten
thousand dollars. This: work is
already under way. Some ore is
