STOP BREWING BEER;
BEGIN FREEZING CREAM

The National Capital Brewery viii
turn into an ice cream factory, and by
summer at least half OF the plant will
be turning out ice cream instead OF beer.
While it is not certain that the Dis
trict will become dry, Albert Carry, pres
ident of the company, and the directors,
have decided that 1t is a wise thing to
begin converting the brewery to some
other profitable use.
Mr.. Carry and an architect visited
large ice cream plants in Northern cities
recently, and will begin remodeling the
brewery at once. 1t was found that the
plant can be converted into an ice cream
factory without prohibitive expense, the
ice plant OF the brewery requiring no
changes.
We will continue our present output
OF beer" said Mr.. Garry yesterday, but
We are making changes so that we can
Chickly convert the whole plant II neces-
ssry."
The company contemplates making
1900 gallons Of ice cream a day.

You VIII Never Be Cured BY Lo-
cal Treatment with Sprays and
Douches.

Catarrh is condition of the blood
and cannot be cured by local appli-
cations of sprays and douches; this
has been proven by the thousands
who have vainly resorted to this
method of treatment.
Catarrh should not be neglected or
experimental with. The wrong treat
ment is valuable time lost, during
which the disease is getting a hrmer
hold upon its victim, and making it
more difficult for even the proper
treatment to accomplish results.
Though Catarrh makes its first ap-
pearance in the nostrils, throat and
air passages, the disease becomes

Spouse that there Is no question about
the club being willing and anxious to
accept IL, but there are some matters
that the members feel should be set
tied before any step forward Is made.
Principal among these is the ques-
ton OF the kind OF club room that
should be maintained. There are
many divergent opinions in body OF
men as large as the Alpha club. and
the question to settle Is the character
OF the room that should be maintain

thought IL best to appoint a commit

the committee to come to some con-
clusion. A set Of laws were presented

In the meantime the members all
