BEER IS BETTER

O. D. Gallagher, Loudon re- porter, newly returned from Spain, here tells the inside story of Barcelona-where the black flag of anarchy flies over a once pay city and a million people live in daily fear of death.

FIFTY

YEAR OLD Andres Revertes was chief of Publie Order in Barcelona until a few days ¡age. He had power of life and death over the city's million people. He rode through the streets in a big,

new car.

To-day he sits alone in a cell in the prison fortress on Montjuich-Mount of Jews overlooking the city. One day this week militiamen will take him out and hand him over to one of the People's Courts.

Beer is even better than milk for your health.

At least, that is what Austrias over. the brewers, alarmed stendy decrease of the beer con- sumption in these parts of the world, maintain in flaming apology of their product.

A pint of beer is not only as nourishing as a pint of milk, but, in addition, is rich in vitamine "B" and it also contains the tnvigorating "Lupuline" stimulant.

Brewers claim that half a pint of beer contains 300 calories and, there- fore, corresponds to four rolls or lo slightly less than

As beer further has a calming effect, it is the ideal "nightcap," according to the brewers' theory.

It is extremely easy to digest and is, therefore, an- excellent food for persons, reenvering from an illness.

The

brewers, however, rendily admit in their eulogy of Gambrinus that excessive beer drinking is harm- ful.

But would not excesses in the con- sumption of other foods, for instance of milk, also have fairly unpleasant consequences?

"I see no reason why u, young man, Just because he has once done some- thing rather foolish, should be forced to go through life with the stigma of 'spy' attached to his name."

That is why Mr. John McGovern, M.P. will soon hold a private inquiry which he hopes will result in the complete vindication of Mr. Norman Boillie Stewart (the officer in, the Tower) when Mr. Stewart comes out of prison next January. It has been persistently reported that he will go to Australia.

Mr. Balllle-Stewart, formerly Lieutenant in the Seaforth Highland- ers, was found guilty in April, 1933, of charges under the Official Secrets Act. He was sentenced to five years' penal servitude.

"His mother expects that he wil} be released in three months time," Mr. McGovern sald:
