Saturday’s Primaries. The primaries on Saturday passed off very quietly notwithstanding the fact that there were several warm contests in Cen- tre county. The closest on the Demo- cratic ticket was that for the nomination for the Legislature between George A. Beezer, of Bellefonte, and Robert M, Foster, of State College, the latter win- ning by the narrow margin of 65 votes. A. B. Kimport was re-elected county chairman over W. Harrison Walker and George L. Goodart defeated Abram Weber for delegate to the state convention, Asher R. Johnson and John C. Barclay carried Centre county for delegates to the national convention and were elected in the congressional district. The com- plete returns will be found in another column. CENTRE COUNTY GOES FOR ROOSEVELT. But the administration Republicans got the biggest surprise of the day when the returns showed that Centre county had gone for Roosevelt for President by an over two to one vote, electing Harry P. Austin and George N. Fisher delegates to the state convention. The Roosevelt del- egates to the national convention also carried the county overwhelmingly and were elected in the district. C. L. Gram- ley defeated Samuel Wigton for the Legis- lature and Henry C. Quigley was re- elected county chairman over Hard P. Harris. The complete vote of the county will be found on the seventh page of todays paper. Democratic Primary Totals.

Editor Democratic Watchman: The fcllowing letter from our State Coliege relative to beverage of roasted barley and hops of open brew, sent last October from Silver avenue, that don't intoxicate, but which is rated taxable in commerce by our government, at same rate as beer made out of anything. Its very unjust to the people, and leaves no incentive to make medecinal brews by roasting barley direct. The malstering by mash spread on floor to germ and then bake-roast the same, is the cheap mode of getting most from the grain, but causes malaria, billiousness, etc. And the use of camphors, burned sugaror burnt cork for coloring and preservatives are wicked, and for want of pure roasted barley and hops, beer causes more pre- mature deaths then all industrial and travel accidents. Yours faithfully, JAMES WOLFENDEN, Lamar, Pa. STATE COLLEGE, PA., April 12th, 1912. Mr. James Wolfenden, Lamar, Pa. {ear Sir—The sample of beverage submitted by you is found to contain alcohol to the amount of 2.97 per cent by weight equivalent to 8.70 per cent by volume; solids 1.56 per cent, including albuminoid materials to the amount of .59 per cent. The quantity of alcohol comes well within the range for ordinary beer and the manufacture of such beverage would, therefore, come, I suppose, under the regulations of the internal revenue laws. At any rate, it brings the subject into question, and I would not recommend any such undertaking without first con- sulting the revenue authorities. The quantity of albuminoids is near the maximum commonly occurring of Amer- ican malt liquors, which is .614 per cent. Hoping that this information may serve your need, I am, truly, Yours ve Ry FREAR, Chemist. PINE GROVE MENTION. J. H.
