CHANCE FOR AN INVENTOR
People Are Looking for a Satisfactory
Non-AlcohoIic Beverage

London, June Wanted, a really
satisfactory temperance drink. During
the recent warm weather London S
cafes and restaurants made tentative
displays of the stereotyped non
alcoholic" beverages.
However, it was not warm enough
to make many people sufficiently
thirsty to drink them, tho the fact that
they were once more in evidence
caused many teetotalers TO complain
that they were at loss as to what to
drink in winter.
The trouble with temperance
drinks" manufacturing chemist init
mately connected with the trade"
said, is that they are either brewed-
and so contain alcohol-or concoctions
of incongruous material dissolved in
water mechanically aerated, and there
fore necessarily lack distinction and
character.
1t will probably be news to many
that the law allows non-alcoholic drinks
to contain 27a per cent of proof spirit,
and practically all brewed teetotal bev-
erages do contain it.
Home brewed ginger ale, such as
one buys at country refreshment cot
tages, frequently contains more alcohol
than bitter beer does.
Having dismissed such drinks as
being alcoholic, there remain only the
gassy bottles Of variously favored water
to which different fancy names are
given; or lime juice cordial and lemon
squash, both lowering to the system if
too freely consumed.
No one is really satisfied with these
concoctions, but the trouble is that it
has not been found possible to evolve
anything better.
The fact is, no substitute for alco-
hol has been invented, and until some
one discovers a substitute with the
bite Of spirit, but without its intoxi-
eating qualities, the problem will re-
main unsolved.
For the man who can invent a
palatable teetotal drink fortune waits,
nor will the brewers be able, speaking
generally, to compete against him by
making and initiating his product.
For example, a tremendous guam
tity Of ginger wine is drunk in this
country. The taste for this has sur
vived from the time when every house
hold in England made its British wines,
but now, owing to the massing Of the
people in the towns and the want Of
accommodation for such work, il is man
ufactured by old firms, and much of it
is sold to the brewers to be retailed in
their tied houses.
Notwithstanding the quantity Of
this brewed beverage that is drunk, the
brewers do not make it themselves.

Some three hundred Wenatchee peo
pie came here last Sunday on a special
train to witness the second game Of the
season between the Red Apple team
and Leavenworth's Best. In addition
some fifty came in autos. The largest
crowd of the season attended the game.
The regular baseball reporter is not
on the job now and 'NA writer knows
nothing about ball nns and in the
future if the ball crowd want the game
written up in dope" style they will
have to furnish the copy.
The following summary and score
was brought in by one Of the boys, and
in the absence of proof to the contrary
is presumed to be correct:

This will make you sit up and take par

Such an unprecedented figure sets you
wondering whether you could afford 20

House. bay horse has been nightly crop

The owner has turned him out in the
very small hours Of the morning. after
midnight, and for several hours the horse
has made a silent pilgrimage over the
unmowed lawn. The grass has proven
excellent gazing. and so far the animal
has not had to go beyond a small radius
Only the footprints in the worked
over lawn remain when day breaks. as
after few hours grazing the animal
has been returned to the stable.
Land on this unusual grazing pasture
brings generally at least 81 a foot, yet

realize what luxury his horse has been
getting in these nightly sallies.

TAFT TO CRUISE,
ON MAINE COAST
Vacation to Be Partly Spent
on the MayfiOwer.

Beverly, Mass. July 7.-PTesident Taft
is going TO spend part OF his vacation
on shipboard. Unofficial announcement
was made at the executive Office to-day
that the President would make a ten
days trip up the Maine coast. The voy-
age is going TO begin July Is, three days
after the absolute vacation which the
President Is now enjoying. The presi-
Dental yacht, the Mayfiower, viii become
the summer capital. According to the
plans, Mrs. Taft. Miss Helen Taft and
Mr.. Charlie raft. Secretary Norton and
Mrs. Norton. Capt. Butt. and possibly
H. D. Taft, the Presidents brother, viii
be taken along. The Mayfiower viii set
out for Bar Harbor. but a stop may be
made at Biddeford Pool, Me, to pick up
Mrs. Louis T. More, OF Cincinnati. a sis
ter of Mrs. Taft. who is summering there.
It is expected that the President viii
stay at Bar yHarbor for at least three
days He probably viii remain aboard
the Mayfiower at night. but will explore
Mount Desert Island by day. A circle
around that island on the yacht is in the
plans now being perfected. The Pres
ident is not especially fond OF the water,
but It Is believed that the trip will add
the finishing touch to his real vacation,
and besides Mrs. Taft is understood to
be anxious 20 make the voyage.
The Mayfower was the favorite OF Col
Roosevelt and can make the run up to

which duller people talk about and

All the really smart people have been
originals, and have liked to make the
common herd wonder. In dress. in man

ways astonishing. To be leaders they
have to devise new things. They must
give the note. and not take it. and as

Women are losing much of their fond
ness for candy, say the purveyors Of
sweetmeats, or at least the New York girl
no longer INDUCES her taste as freely as
formerly. says the New York Press.
There was a noticeable falling OF this
Easter in the demand for candies, and it
would seem that flowers were preferred In
many more instances than usual as the
customary Easter gift. Close observers
Of men and maidens say the continued
vogue of the tight-htting costume is
chiefly accountable. Fear Of losing their

women 10 give up eating sweets alto

announce to her men friends that she has

the apparent revolution in taste is said 70
be the steady growth of cigarette smoking
among women. Tobacco~ and sweets
never did go well together, and faced
with a natural choice between the two,
