A PLAIN STATEMENT.
Quality of Beer Depends Upon ST.
periority of Materials, Treatment
and rlaturity.

Purity is a universal essential in all
beers. The observance of cleanliness and
sterilization will secure it,
Healthfulness, combined with flavor
and taste constitutes real quality, and
these are impossible without the very
best materials and the highest order of
treatment. This is what science and ex-
perience teach.
Quality, depending upon the character
OF materials and the methods employed,
is the real goal or competition among
brewers.
Materials: To provide the public with
a really good, palatable and wholesome
beer of the highest quality, we use the
best barley-malt, the highest grade hops
superior yeast. and in our pale beers a
small per centage OF rice. In all Our
beers we use the best and purest mate
rails, regardless of cost.
Corn we never use although it is not
excluded by authority, and has the ad-
vantage OF cheapness. We use no sub
stitute of any kind to reduce our ex-
pense. We spare neither money nor care
to fortify and increase our well earned
and long established reputation.
Treatment and Maturity: We employ
only the most modern methods in brew
ing; our latest acquisition being 200
glass-lined steel tanks made by the
Pfaudler Co., of Rochester, New York.
The beer after leaving the brew kettles,
is conveyed to glass enameled fermenting
vats. After fermentation it is lagered.
aged from four to five months in the
glass lined steel tanks beforei it is bottled;
thus absolute purity of our beer is in
sured, because it is in glass from the
time it is brewed until it is consumed.
Our present storing capacity OF 900 900
barrels is more than that of any other
two breweries in the world. These facil-
tiles enable us to age our beer the length
of time necessary to guarantee its purity
and maturity-not in printers ink-but
in fact.
For these reasons Budweisr, the King
of Bottled Beers, must and does COM
mand higher price than any other beer,
and at the same time has greater sale
than all other bottled beers.

Harry J. Lincoln's Latest Song Hit.

Just at the Break of Day" is the
latest song of Harry j. Lincoln, the
clever composer. Published by the
Vandersloot Music Company, Will
Transport, Pa. Mr.. Lincoln has
many big hits to his credit. Among
Others he has composed the following:
"Heaven's Artillery" march. 1.-THE
Palm Limited" march, "The Buffalo
FLYER march, Midnight Fire
Alarm march, A. Southern Dream"
waltzes, 'Vallamont" Revere, etc,
etc, which have an international rep
utation.
In a criticism of the song Just at
the Break of Day." the Williamsport
Sun says:
Beside being a recital of an incident
that appeals to sympathy. the author.
Harry J. Lincoln, has caught the spirit
of patriotic pathos that clings to the
human heart and ent wines itself on one
memory like the lingering echo Of some
sad, sweet story. And the rythm too,
appealing to the ear like the melody OF a
cadence born of JOY, leads one from pleas
ure to ecstatic bliss-and one wishes,
when the song is done, that it might go
| on forever.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is only
one way to cure deafness, and that is by con-
stitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by
an infamed condition of the mucous lining
OF the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
infamed you have a rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed,
deafness is the result, and unless the inaam-
nation can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but
an inflamed condition OF the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness Caused by catarrh) that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure Send

Who have stopped to enquire are told
that the material used is wood fibre
plaster. This is something new in
these parts but it has been tested by
years OF use elsewhere and adopted
by leading builders and contractors
as greatly superior to lime plaster.
Contractor Weaver was the first to
introduce wood fibre plaster in Hen
dersOn. 1t was first used on the ad-
dition to Mr.. J. L. Currin's residence
last fall. The contract calls for the
new Graded School building to be
finished with it,
Wood fibre plaster is as far supe-
rior TO lime plaster as that is to or
binary clay null. The cost is Il little
more-about three cents square
yard-but when you put it on wall
it there to stay. 1t will not crack or
peel off and can be worked in all
kinds of weather. One hour to put
it on and an hour to ''set" and the
severest freeze does not affect it. You
can drive a nail in it without crack
ing and when withdrawn a clean
round hole is left as if it had been
driven In Il piece of wood. The COM
position of the acknowledgements
rock and wood ground together by
a secret process-shOws that it pos
sesses qualities and advantages over
any other known plastering mate
rial.
