TT| MO every generation Of Ameri-
~ cans George Washington is
ssaSSSSS3 justly held to be the purest
figure in history superb ex-
ample Of the perfect citizen-a just
and righteous ruler and "a light for
after time"
This commanding personality had
a magnificent physique. He stood
over six feet in his stockings, was re-
markable for Workmanship, agility
and strength the finest gentleman
and athlete Of his day.
His constitution was of iron and
he knew how to keep it so. His BIZ
ographers declare that in eating and
in drinking as in all things he was
normal; enjoying the juice Of the malt
all the days of his life. He drank it
around campfires, as well as in his
own home and upon social and state
occasions.
Furthermore, upon his Mount
Vernon plantation he had a brew
house, as was the regular custom Of
wealthy Virginians.

occasions a pot OF vegetables on one or

These ovens are nC- very expensive,
are used on both oil and gas stoves. and

stove. This oven l.. very light may
easily be lifted or. and when not IN use
may be placed on the floor under the

DRESSING TABLES

Though carved and polished mahog-

than plain tables draped with sheer
muslin or lowered cretonue. TO have
these arranged by professional drapefs

q series of crimes in San Francisco
soon after the earthquake and fire of
April IS, 1906, and from the weapon
they used, became known as the "gas
pipe thugs"
They were executed for the murder
of M. Murakata, a Japanese banker.

they were guilty of two other MUIR
ders and several assaults and rob-
berries. Siemsen, who was a native of
Hawaii, had long criminal record
and once served a term in San Quen-
tin for. grand larceny. Dubner was a
mere boy from the interior of the state
and fruitless efforts were made to Sc
cure Communication of his sentence to
life Imprisonment on account of his
previous good character.
