WHAT ARE WE DRINKING NOW?

Now that alcoholic drinks are pro-
hibited by law, millions of persons are
turning to the soft ones, which may or
may not be just as satisfying. 1t is
especially desirable that these be pure
and refreshing, and no mistake will be
made by the person who chooses a
simple kind such as grape juice.
Such an iced drink is nectar fit for
the gods. The juice of the grape al
ways has been celebrated in song and
story. Bacchus, the merry god of
Greece, was crowned with grapes and
vines, and the convival people of
earliest Bible history sang the praises
of the juice of the purple grape. 1t
is merely matter Of arresting the
fermentation which makes the modern
temperance beverage. (N
The unqualified success of the sweet
blue grape juice is due to it's being
pure, unauthorized and undiluted. It
is gathered from sunkissed grapes,
gathered when fully matured, and
pressed the day they are picked. In
quality brands every assignment of
grapes is inspected rigidly and the fac
tory equipment is most sanitary and
modern. Aluminium heaters and steam
jacketed kettles are used. Nature does
the work of Qualification by precipita-
| ton, and after three months the juice
is rebottled.
Although purple grape juice already
is immensely popular, it's newer sister,
the golden Catawba juice, merits equal
praise. 1t is of the fair color of cham
payne and is delicious, especially with
sparkling carbonated waters.
! Still more golden is the orangeade,
a concentrated product made of pure
orange juice and cane sugar. 1t stands
dilution with simple syrups. The Bos-
ton style is not so highly concentrat-
ed, and therefore, is not susceptible
to syrup addition, but may be served
as manufactured.
The highest grade cocoa is made by
a process that eliminates most of the
cocoa butter and leaves a smooth
chocolate syrup, entirely soluble,
Nothing is more delicious than hot
chocolate and it is food as we'll as a
beverage, contributing actual nutri-
ton.

Works His Way on
Foot to Northwest
Passage Region

Seattle. Oct. 1S.-An American ex-
plorer, Harold Noice, formerly a
member of Vilhujalmur Stefansson's
party, is working his way eastward
on foot along the route Of the north.
west passage on the northern rim OF
the continent, according to word re-
ceived here. He expects to reach
the Hudson bay country and clvlllza-
ton some time next summer.
Storker Storkerson, formerly sec
ond in command Of the Stefansson
party, who arrived here recently from
the far north, said that Noice, ac-
companied only by Eskimos, is pro-
ceeding slowly and mapping portions
of the coast lines as he goes. A
stretch of the coast line OF Victoria
Land, heretofore unmapped, is beng
charted by Noice.
Noiee may visit the interior of
Victoria Land, which, according to
all reports, has never been explored
by white men. All explorers, ira.
ders and trappers who have touched
Victoria Land have only journeyed
along it's shores. Steffansson found
the tribe of "blond Eskimos" in the
Victoria Land country.
Noice has no ship and but few
supplies. He depends almost en-
tirely upon his gun for his living.
Stefansson, his former chief, who is
noted among explorers as being able
to live off the barren white lands OF
the north, probably taught NolcS
how to get about without carrying
many supplies.
Noice's parents live in Seattle.
The explorer is young in years, hav-
ing graduated from a high school
here about eight years ago. He
went north in 1912 with Captain
Louis Lane on the schooner Polar
Bear. When Stefansson purchased
the Polar Bear from Lane, Noice
shipped as a member of the crew
Later, when Stefansson decided to
return to the outside world Noice left
the party and remained in the north
His parents expect him to return to
Seattle next year.

HUGO HAASE SAYS SIS 49,
GERMANU SHOULD
SIGN THE TREATY

Berlin; June 5.-(Delayed).-
Hugo Haase, leader of the Independ-
ent Socialists, declared in an inter-
view today that Germany should
sign the peace treaty regardless of
whether she can obtain any modiica-
tions.
Personally, I believe the German
delegates should do their utmost to
secure notifications, but they should
sign in any event." Haas said. ut
is more disadvantageous for Ger
many not to sign than to accept the
treaty, even in its present harsh
form"
Haase said he saw small chance
of the Independent Socialists taking
over the government the
workers generally demanded it.
"If all join in demanding a real
Socialist government, then I believe
all the socialist factions will under
take to form a coalition govern
ment," he said. "But such a move
ment would not be attempted by
force"
Haase admitted he had heard ru-
mors of a plan to attempt to over
throw the government June z, but
said that investigation had proven
the rumors false. Reports were in
circulation that several members of
the cabinet are prepared to resign; if
the peace treaty is not altered.

NAVY MUST NOT REST
NOW THAT WAR is, OVER,
DANIELS TELLS CADETS

Annapolis, Nd, June 6.-Secre-
tary Daniels in an address at the
graduatin gexercises at the United
States naval academy today, declra-
ed that the closing of hostilities did
not mean the United States navy
could rest on its oars" but that it
must surpass it's great war record
by a greater record in peace"
The asa members of the gradual
ing class, the largest in the history
of the academy, were urged by the
secretary to apply all their initia-
tive and energy in the great task
of developing the efficiency of the
navy.
"You are coming into the navy in
a period that will challenge all your
resource and initiative" said Secre-
tary Daniels. We are determined
the navy shall not, as it did after
the war between the states and the
Spanish-American war, mark time
for decade. Our policy must be
that it shall move constantly forward
making new records and new discov-
cries. The navy has made a great
record in war"

MURDERED NEAR THIS

eating Murder.

terribly frightened and none of
them could give a satisfactory ac-
count of the happenings. The men
coming behind the car in which they
were riding, the shooting commenc-
ing so promptly, prevented their be-
ing able to give an accurate descrip-
ton of any of the men. They all
knew, however, that white men were
responsible for the crime. Perhaps
a dozen other negroes saw some parts
of the shooting or saw the men as
they left the scene of the shooting.
None of these, however, so far as re-
ported, are able to give any
definite information upon which a
conclusion could be drawn as to the
men responsible.
Body Not Found.
Smiths body has not been recov-
cred. Evidently in the careful plan
ming of the crime the body was to be
disposed of so that a question might
be raised as to whether in fact the
negro was dead, or perhaps the per-
petrators of the crime sought to re-
lieve the public as much as possible
of the narrowing surroundings.
Sheriff Burts, with his deputy, Mr..
Cam, is making investigation Of the
crime. Upon them rests the respon-
sibility of apprehendingathe men who
have added another fouf crime to our
already bloody record in this county.
The people expect that hey will
bring these men to the bar of JUS
tice.

Mark Smith is the negro who some
