sERv.Us MINCE MEAT

Package condensed mince meat is made up today of the best quality Of dried fruit and other items which can be found, all of which are found in the United States with the exception of spices and entrants The study of packing condensed mince meat has ex- tended over a period of 100 years and today is as near its perfection as we can possibly conceive. The sanitation in the factories in which 1t is packed is beyond reproach as the competition today in these lines necessitates the guarding of the most minute detail of the business. The apples used are of the best grade of New York State, where in our opinion Is grown the best favored apple known. The raisins used are of the best quality seeded variety. No expense is con- sidered in procuring the very highest grade of spices, and sugar, as we all know, is always sugar, the different grades merely representing the differ ent flavors or different granulation re- quired for different purposes. Every particle of fruit or any other article used in the manufacture of mince meat is thoroughly cleaned and hand-picked by people trained to know what should and should not be used and in this manner the article comes to the house wife cleaner by far than she could possibly take the same articles in her own kitchen, regardless of how clean may D6, anu Indhe up Lnc TUT her mince pie. The old idea of dirt being prevalent in quantity is today disputed by the greatest authorities on food products. The meat used in mince meat is of the choicest and to- day the same corn-beef which you and I would use on our table is what is being used in Serv-us Mince Meat. There are very few pies made which can be used as handily by the house wife as mince meat for all it requires is a little water and being heated for ten minutes and it is ready for the crust and then the table and she may without fear of loss carry three or four packages of mince meat in her pantry, having it ready at any time for the chance occurrence of unexpect- ed company and it will be a good dessert free from dirt It is our thorough belief that a mince meat pie made from condensed mince meat is about as cheap a dessert as can be prepared and yet as good.
 For many years mfnce meat was considered a winter dish. Each year for the last ten our factory has had to increase its capacity during the summer months until today it runs every day of the year with a regular force of helpers. We ship goods to every part of the country the entire increase in the use of these goods over when mince meat was eaten only in the winter months which means an i'm creased sale over the. former winter consumption.

ANALOSTAN BOASTS
A BANKERS FOUR
Avon Nevius Has Had Crew Out
Three Nights Each Week
for Month.

The Analostan Boat Club which ha:
recently come to be regarded as one
of the leading rowing organization:

something new to Washington in a

the District National Bank. who rows
No. 3. and W. w. Spaid. a member of
the firm of W. B. Hibbs & Co., who

The Bankers Four was quietly
organized about a month ago by the
four oarsmen for the very lauda BILE

Quick to see that he could do some
real missionary work, Nevius invited
the others to the boat house for a
spin that evening and they accepted.
Getting them into the boat was no
easy job when they got glimpse of
the frail craft but once in and under
the guidance and encouragement CT
Nevius, the valiant crew was of for
its first spin.
Now it's no secret that Nevius has
been a fiend over the rowing game for
years and would rather pull an oar
that do anything else. Hence, the lit
tie row was a schoolboy's picnic for
him while none of the others would
suggest that they had had enough
for one day for fear of being called
cutters. After about an hours row
