Graham flour derives it's name from sylvester Graham, Connects cut clergyman, who advocated the use of unbolted wheat flour as more co nducive to health than white flour.

1t is easy for wet news handlers to
color stories even in headlines. A
New York newspaper printed the
heading, Norway Admits Inability

item contained nothing whatever
about Prohibition, as Norway does
not have Prohibition. In that coun-
try the government has control of the
liquor trade. In fact, Norway never
actually tried Prohibition. Until
she does try it. any representation
that she admits inability to enforce

geous prices, through restricted
channels, to the healthy, not to
the sick. The doctor will prac-
tically become the bartender for
his perfectly healthy customers.
We deny that there is any emcr-
gency demand for beer for the
sick. The cereal beverages made
by us i'll strict compliance with
the law contain 20 per cent more
OF the soluble substances OF the
ingredients from which they are
manufactured than the average
good beer brewcd in the United
States. If beer is good for the
sick-and we believe it is--our
cereal beverages are better.
There is, therefore, no excuse for
the sale OF beer for medicinal pur-
poses. If the patient needs alco-
hol, the physician can prescribe
it. If he needs merely tonic, he
can get that without the alcohol.
All this can be done and the Dig
nifty and sanctity of our laws pre-
served.

INSPECT FIND IN
. TOIYABE RANGE

W, p Brooks, who secured an op-
tion on the National group of four
claims in the Toiyabe range, owned
by H, F. Kalkbrenner and Miss E.
Jones, accompanied by Captain A.
Case, William F. Mcleod, G. l.. Bris.
sell and E. L, Brown, left yesterday
morning for the scene of the new
discovery to make an examination
of the property.
Samples of ore from the National,
which were secured at a depth of
three feet in a trench 80 feet long,
show literally of free gold, and the
new find is considered of Importance
in view of the fact that the prop
erty years ago produced heavily of
ore. In the prospect de-
Velopment the ore vein has a width
of about inches, which was devel-
oped from a knife-blade seam at sur.
face, and assays show values running
as high as $3.50 a ton in the yellow
metal.
The party went equipped to stay
a few days, if necessary, and while
there photographs of the property
and the surrounding country will be
taken by Mr. Brissell. The National
property is located four miles south
of Millett and 80 miles north of To-
nopah, and prospectors who are IA
