Schlitz Quits Beer; Goes in for
Candy.

Milwaukee Oct. 3O.-Candy is
supplanting liquor as an article
Of refreshment in dry states, ac-
cording to Leonard Sch1itz, ncPh-
ew of Joseph Schlitz, founder OF
the Schlitz brewery.
Mr.. Schlitz, until recently, was
travelling representative of the
Schlitz Brewing company and dis
covered OH a trip through the
Western states that there is a big
demand for candy. AS a result
he was instrumental in the or
ganization of the new corporation
which will manufacture candy in
Milwaukee. <~s
"Yon can quote Mr.. Schlitz as
saying that the use of candy in
dry states has increased almost
proportionately to the decrease in
the use of liquor and that he sees
an opportunity for a good busi-
ness in the manufacture of these
products said Aid Wehe, his
business associate.

Columbia Miss, Oct. 31.-Jack

Laruc Holloway near Columbia

them where the keys were con-
cealed.
The men tied the jailer to the
bed with leather straps and ropes.
The party then assembled the
stairs and took Hughes from his
