part of the brewers to oppose the
tax.
“The brewers,” said Mr. Unter
meyer, “are patriotic citizens,and
they r a'ize that in the present
emergency all loyal citizens should
cheerfully assume their share of
the burdens of the war. There
will be no increase in the price of
beer, but it will be the general
policy of the brewers to equitably
div'dethe tax between themse’ves
and their customers, the retailers.
This will be effected, not by charg
ing so much more per barrel, but
by reducing the rate of discount
which the retailer gets from the
brewer, so that each may’ pay 7 ap
proximately #1 per barrel. The
retailer cannot, of course raise the
price, but it is not impossible that
he may reduce the size of the
glass so that the consumer will in
directly pag a certain proportion
of the tax ”

the world mpst precious to her—her baby.
The terrible nervous tension under which
many live and suffer because of
some Weakness or disease of their sex,
keeps them on the very verge of insanity.
The constant drag and drain upon the com
plicated and delicate organism affects the
whole nervous svstem and works upon the
brain with an almost irresistible madness.

not seriously affect the great brew
ing interests, but that many small
concerns would stiff >r, ai d that
some of them would in all probabi
lity go under.
While in the tobacco trade there
js no deposition to resist the tax,
there is not a little dissatisfaction
with what is called the retroactive
clause, which places 50 per cent of
the new lax on existing stock, deal
ers having largely increased their
holdings under the impression that
they would not be subject to the
