The colliery engine was twisted into

believed that long fuse was used to
give the Bolsheviki n chance to get away
before the explosion.
The property is we'll guarded. The

This leads to the belief that the dyna-

There Is no clue to work on. No men

RUTTERMILK IS DECLARED ONE OF
 FINEST DRINKS

Pure fresh creamy buttermilk Is cooling, refreshing, declicious., Espe- cially during the hot su1try days of midsummer there is no drink excell- ing a glass of pure fresh ice-cold buttermilk.
 As a beverage it Is far superior to many other drinks served at soda fountains and similar places. Many former friends of John Barleycorr are finding a great consolation in buttermilk as an appetizer. It is both a. delicious drink and an excel lent food It has been known for years that buttermilk is a healthful drink. Many physicians and dieticians are recommending buttermilk for dys- pepsia and other ailments of the di- geStive tract.
 Up till recently it has been difficult for many city dwellers to get fresh. clean wholesome product but many a wide awake dairyman is grasping the opportunity and supplying his customers with this valuable and inn portant food and health drink.
 There is a great future for butter milk as increased quantities are sold each year. Already progressive res taurants and soda fountains all over the United States are selling big quantities and especially since July 1, 1919, it has become very popular as a national drink.
 It would be well for milk dealers and creamerymen to consider butter milk as one of their side lines Sur Illus milk from creameries and milk plants can be marketed in a most economical way by converting 1t into huttermilk.
