The same standard Of purity, strength

1t is not stimulant and is taken in

not help other golfers to clutter up
their attic with useless cups. The
utilitarian type Of prizes for golf con-

ever since.
The largest collection Of cups won

Of Charles Evans, Jr., of Chicago,
the only man to win both an anna

the same year. Evans has turned
over all these cups to his club, and
the Edgewater Golf club now has the
work Of keeping them polished and
insured against loss. The cost Of
insurance on some 200 cups is consid-

In addition to useful articles Of jew
