need OF PURE FOOD

Process Of Producing Vanilla
Extract Shown To Be
Unsanitary

There Is a growing demand on the
market for pure foods. The federal,
khe state and the city authorities
maintain q strict supervision OF manu-
tactured articles.> meats, milk. etc,
that are sold for table consumption.
Drastic laws have been enacted to
prevent the sale of unwholesome or

The average housewife has been ed
heated within the last few years to
exercise the utmost care In making
her purchases In the grocery and In
The meat market. She Is willing to
bay an extra price for the best that

Bhe eggs must be strictly fresh and
The nour must be the best wheat

The outposts are new luxury for
the Belgians. They were unable 10
establish them prior TO the German

had poured In upon them too rapidly.
The reserve forces are another lux

OMAHA SLIPS BACK
INTO SIXTH PLACE
Des Moines Wins, Making it a Clean
Sweep Of Series, and Sioux
Cop Two Games.
ERRORS RESPONSIBLE FOR LOSS

Being rather intent upon the course of
his brave crew toward the well known
Western loop pennant and having no
regard for the feelings of our Rourkes'
Mr. Isbell Of Des Moines not only made
Il a clean sweep of the series by coping
the combat yesterday afternoon, but he
also gave Marty Krug's warriors gen.
tie shove into sixth place. The game
ended 6 to 4.
Three straight took the Des Moines
gang. But saddest of all our boys fell
notch in the percentage column. For
Sioux City captured two games ana
passed us quite briskly.
Tom Blodgett was the unfortunate
twirler who lost the game. 1t wasn't en-
tirely Toms fault. His mates behind
him made five errors and each and every
error had it's part in contributing runs
to the opposition. In fact five of the six
runs made by the Boosters are directly
traceable to the miscues.
Rally Falls short.
Omaha made a desperate rally IN the
eighth and slipped four runs over on Mr..
Lefty Thomas, who was toiling for the
hostile bunch. Krug opened with double
and Hippo McChesney scored him with a
single. Schliebner walked and BlancK
beat out an infield hit, choking the run
way with live stock. Hippo counted on
Wells infield out and Smiths ripping
single to center marked schliebner and
Blanck.
But four runs couldn't win the game
and Thomas pitched in keen form in the
ninth. thus cutting off any chance our
side had for victory
Today will be Booster day, with the
Denver Grizzlies as the attraction. The
game will be called at $3.50. At $50 the
wrestling exhibition by the stecher
brothers will be staged. Score:
