Interesting Facts About the Preparation
of "the Drink Irresistible"
Where Orange-Juice Gets its FLAVOR

Where Ordnge-Juice Gets its FLAVOR
Long ago it was found that the dominant
favor in fresh orange juice was present
also in the fresh, golden outer skin of the
orange in the form of tiny, fragrant glob-
ules OF Oil artfully concealed in minute
cells. These globules, it was found, could
be preserved without flavor deterioration.
The presence of a small amount of this de-
llclous oil in combination with natural
sugar, citric acid and water gave orange
Juice the rare flavor of which it is justly
famous.
What Orange Crush Is
Orange Crush is simply skillful blend of

Perhaps you hare been surprised that Orange Crush
could be served to you at such a reasonable price
lOhen oranges cost from SOC to 81 dozen.

this delightful drink and learning the for its
favor, deliciOusness, purity and quality.
The courier-index. (Marianna, Ark.) 1917-current, 1919-07-18

1t is the presence of these minute and de-
icious particles of oil, distributed by the
Ward process uniformly throughout the
brink which gives the inimitable flavor and
the fruit-cloudy appearance to Orange
Crush.
In the Heart of the Orange Country
The gathering of the fragrant globules of
oil from the oranges is done by experts in
the heart of the orange country where the
choicest oranges in the world grow Gentle
pressing causes the cells to break open and
exude their lucious content. It takes mil
lions of oranges to supply the pure fruit
oil now used each year in preparing Or
ange-Crush.
The courier-index. (Marianna, Ark.) 1917-current, 1919-07-18
The Fruit Acid

Every ordinary size glass or
bottle of Orange-Crush con-
tains approximately the same
amount of purest citric acid
that is found in an ordinary
ripe orange. 1t is this re-
markable, refrigerant acid
which gives the delightful
tartness to oranges, lemons
grapefruit and other members
of the citrus family. The cit
ric acid in Orange-Crush is
obtained from these fruits. 1t
is both delightful to the taste
and extremely beneficial to
the human body, as any ply
sician will tell you.

The process of preparing Orange-Crush
|was perfected in Los Angeles in the
midst of the beautiful orange groves of
Southern California. 1t took many years
|ef investigation and experimenting before
The drink you now know was produced

these delicately favored globules of oil,
pressed from the outer skin of fresh or
anges, purest sugar, citric acid (the natur-
al acid of the orange), water and a small
amount of harmless coloring. Sterilizing,
which would injure the flavor, is unneces-
sary, as the sugar in the concentrated
sirup which is delivered to bottlers and
soda fountains, is, in itself, preservative
sufficient to prevent deterioration in any
climate. No preservative except the sugar
is used.

The EXCLUSIVE Orange-CrIlsh
Process
1t was only after many pa
tient years of experimenting
that the exclusive process,
whereby the delicately flavor

fully introduced into the drink
was achieved. The discovery
and perfection of this remark
able process was accomplish
ed by N. C. Ward, a soft-drink
chemist of national repute.
The process is known and used
only by Orange-Crush Co.

BILLS PROVIDE
TRAFFIC COURT
Zihlman and Sherman Push
Action to Minimize Auto
Accidents in D. c.

The creation OF a~traffic court and
tire appointment of a separate judge
TO handle nothing but traffic cases
seems to, be assured for the District
in the near future.
Representative Zihlman, Of Mary
land. in the House. is drafting such
a measure. Senator Sherman, Of IL
linois. yesterday announced his in
tention, OF incorporating the same
provisions in the bill to place more
stringent regulations upon District
traffic. II is fair to assume that
Congress will pass favorably upon
the measure in view of the prevalent
alarm among members over the in
creasing number OF traffic accidents
here.
Senator Sherman stated yesterday
that it was his intention to call up
the traffic bill for consideration by the
Senate District Committee Monday II
a quorum can be obtained.
Another important provision will be
the regulation of pedestrians as well
as vehicle traffic.
The system of depositing collateral
for appearance in court and then
failing TO appear also will be abolished
IL Senator Sherman has his way.
Strict examination Of all applicants
for automobile licenses is another
safeguard to be provided in the
measure.
There have been 55l cases Of traf-
fic violations since, the agitation COM
menced two weeks ago. said the
Senator. zone hundred cases were

Tinkham Bill Providing Sys

Finds Little Support.

Hearings on the Tinkham bill to
establish a civil service system for
District employees received scant
consideration yesterday in the
House District Committee and were

votes were recorded against post
ponement-Chairman Mapes and
Representative Drain, of Florida.
The latter said he too would have
voted against the proposition only
he did not feel like being unkind
to Representative Tinkham when
the result would involve "indefin-
lite" postponement
Little sympathy was expressed for
the proposal and the civil service
system was branded as a fake" by
several members of the committee.
The administration OF Washington
affairs was lauded highly and little
| indication of a desire to change was
seen in the comments Of the COM
mittee members.
