The ptedge of the Woman,sChriBtii,a; Temperance Unimo is against the use-of and traffie ia "all distilled, fermentbdand malt liuora." The chemist has taught us that the fermentation of. sugar, yeastand water produces alcohol. In the manufacturo of root beer' there is the fermentation of the substances flavored with the herb extracts ; there must, therefore, be alcohol in it' varyinj? in quanity according to the lengtb of time it stands, before using. Analyses of tho drink by unprejudiced and well qualified analysts, have shown that the pnoportion is often larger than in malt beers, while the alcohol in it. uhieli not even the manufactures of the extracts deny is produced in brewing it, makes it a most insïdious foo of temperan., klndling and fanmng by imperoeptible degrees the alcoholic appetite. Sir Benjamin Ward Rlehardson. thé greatest of living physiologists, saya of this power of alcohol to créate a taste for itself, '-So as a man Ú takin even a small quantity of aloohol,so long as the systemis underits influence eve'r so little, wj iind his taste always pressent." We can therefore but class root beiers with intoxicating beveragas, and use our influenee to discourage their use.
