THE VALUE OF PINEAPPLE JUICE

The man who brings out a new food
preparation usually has to create the
''long-felt want7' which he fills. In
tackling the pineapple juice problem,
no such difficulty confronted James D.
Dole of Honolulu.
When we eat pineapple it is for the
juice alone. When the doctor orders
pineapple in cases of throat trouble or
certain stomach and intestinal diff
culties it is the pure, uncooked juice
pressed from the ripest obtainable fruit
which he wants his patients to have.
1t is this same refreshing juice which
the nurse gives fever coDvalescents
where cooling and slightly acid drinks
are desirable.
The problem was how TO get the pure
juice of pineapple on the market in
such form that it would please the
healthy lover of the fruit, and be use
full to the doctor and nurse. Mr.. Dole
spent years in experiments which
finally resulted in the Hawaiian Pine
apple Juice which bears his name. It
is the juice of "picked ripe" Ha-
waiian pineapple pressed out and
bottled on the islands where the fruit
grows. Filtered, refined, sterilized in
the bottle, retaining all the natural
favor and aroma, not a bit of sugar,
water, preservative, or anything else
is added. It has been four months on
the market, and its success has been
most gratifying and unprecedented:

January 9Th.
A voice that is pronounced supreme
in delicate shading of "color,' - above
that of all living singers, and per-
sonality so naive and winning that it
brings all hearts to her feet-this is
the rare combination that gives Tetraz-
.zini her power to thrill and move the
great audiences that come to greet her.
Everywhere she carries the enthusiasts
by storm.
At San Francisco Tetrazzini had at
the end of the Rossini aria returned
nine times to the stage without consent
ing to sing second encore After the
final number the thousands of patrons
called and recalled and still kept up
the clamor until the diva had walked
back and forth more than a dozen
times; but there was no more singing.
Personal appeals for another song,
"just one more were made but Te-
trazzini insisted that she had no more
songs, that the orchestra was gone,
What she had no pianist, and all the
popular slamor was in vain.
Tetrazzini will sing in Spokane Fri
day night, January 9th, at the Audi
forum. The sale of seats opens Jan
uary 4th, but out-of-town patrons may
mail orders for seats at any time, same
