He did not have a chance in the

LETTERS OF TESSlE AND JOE

Dear Tessie:
! missed out on a chance to sell a
case Of Daisy Canned Soups today be-
cause / am too modest. The bird | was
trying to sell TO was all stocked up with
regular soups and he asked me if D. c.
Soups had any medicinal value. and in
my natural nOdesty I told him that al
though they contain 3456 calOries to the
square inch and 5G77 vitamines TO the
can. i couldn't conscientiously say they
have actual medicinal value
The result was, he didn't give me an
order although with a slight stretch
Of the old imagination ] could just as
easily have said they were positively
reeking with medicinal value, because
l defy you TO name another brand of
soup that's been the cause of more
doctors being called in or more medicine
being put in circulation
Anyway, the experience gave me an
idea. I'm going to try to induce the
drug stores to lay in a stock of Daisy
Canned Soups. My selling argument
Will be that it looks mighty small and
mean and understood for any up-to-date
drug store where you con buy everything
from prussic acid to postage stamps not
TO have a supply Of canned soup in case
somebody asks for it-and of course
during the lifetime Of a drug store some
body asks for everything.
But TO go back to my natural mOdesty,
/ trust the baby won't inherit it from
me. because this is q hard world and if
you don't blow your own horn other
people won't blow it for you. In fact
you're lucky if they listen while you
blow it for yourself. 1t might be a
good idea to start the baby on the right
track good and early by holding him
up to the mirror and encouraging him
to smile at himself.

FEAR LOSS or ELK HERDS
Animals In Ysllowstons Park Are Rap
idly Dlsappsarins. According to
OFFICIAL Reports.

Officials Of the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture are alarmed
over the threatened determination OF
the Elk herd in Yellowstone park. On
the ranges Of the park. where ordi-
narily thousands Of these animals
could be seen, only a very few have
been observed this winter. Several
theories have been offered to account
for the marked shrinkage in the herd.
Among these Is the, probability that
the majority died from natural causes
or had been killed during the last
year. Another is that the open fall
and winter caused the elk to remain In
hiding In some retreat deep In the
mountains and in the higher and more
inaccessible portions of the park.
Open falls in the past, however, have
not caused the elk to abandon their
usual customs and habits.
That there has been an alarming
shrinkage in the Yellowstone herd dur
Ing the last five years is an estab-
lished fact according to figures sup
piled by the Department of Agrictl-
ture. In 1914 it was estimated at
about 25,O00;. in 1917, 1880 were
counted. and, Il the figures for the
present year, estimated by those close
in touch with the situation. are true,
there remains much less than half this
number. In 1919, $500 head were
killed in the Yellowstone band. the su-
pervisor Of the Absaroka national
forest reports. - :; III
The Department Of Agriculture
points, ont that no herd Of wild AMI
mails can sustain an annual shrink
age in numbers for any length Of time
and not face complete determination
within few years.

OLD BREWERY on esMAARkET
Institution Of the City Of London, Cen
turtles Old, Has Been Offered
. .......,-- for Sale. .,--.--. = 2

A solid piece Of history is for sale,
announces the London Times. It is
the site in Thames street, next to
Cannonstreet station, Of the City Of
London Brewery, known since the
days of Queen Elizabeth as the only
brewery in the city Of London. The
date Of the foundation Of the brewery
is so remote that it is difficult to fix
the year. There are proofs in various
ancient documents and archives Of the
brewery that it was flourishing In 1880.
Stow mentions 1t. The Calverts, a
family Of brewers celebrated in the
annals Of the trade for. the quality
Of their porter, were the most notable
men who brewed beer with Thames
water on that site. In 1760, Sir VIII
liam Calvert was the fourth brewer
in London, and Calvert and Seward, Of
Whitecross street, were the first, the
former brewing 51,7S5 barrels, and the
latter 74,7O4 barrels in that year. Lit
tie Of the old buildings remain save
an old mill loft and part OF the
wall Of the Watermen's hall, which
had been burnt down In the fire Of
London in 1866. rebuilt On the site Of
the Allhallowes church, and after
ward Incorporated with Galyerts, At
the end of the eighteenth century I'M
portant additions and alterations were
made and some Of the walls OF the
present buildings date fFom 1872.
