finding of a ''stifr" In n South Side alley

story up with the single tax theory and
the woes that come to the community
In which II has not been put into effect.
This had the effect of bringing the value
of Mr.. Jones services as a newspaper

AMERICA BREWS THE PURESL

In the opinion Of Dr. NJ. Hcnius. Of
the American Brewing Academy. the
proposed legislation In some Of the
