What sacrifice it is to watch others enjoy it
while you-who are perhaps susceptible to caf
fein-must content yourself with nothing, or a

But now all those who have been DENYING
themselves coffee can forget their nerves and
their sleepless nights and 60 back again to real
coffee . and without the slightest danger from

Sanka Coffee, the famous cafeinfree coffee
that has captured the fancy of all smart Europe,
is. now available in handy tins at your own
grocer's or dehcatessen..
Sanka is pure, unadulterated coffee every
grain of it. 1t looks and feels just like any other
coffee you have ever used When you taste it
you'll never know the difference, except that its
delicious flavor and rich, fragrant aroma will
convince you that it is one of the worlds
outstanding blends.
But the really important difference is that
Sanka is o7oo free from cafein. Even if ordinary
coffee disagrees with you, you can drink all the
Sanka you want even at midnight 1t won't
keep you awake or affect your nerves.

"sHOW-0FF" DRAMATREs FAMILIAR AMERICAN TYPE
 SHOWING TONIGHT ONLY

Have you little show-off in your home? Or perhaps in your home town? Of course you have!
 Then you are sure to enjoy Para mounts new comedy, "The Showoff," which opens at the Liberty theatre for tonight only, because this film version of the famous stage play by George Kelly dramatized this familiar American individual in satiric style and with striking fidelity. According to Malcolm St. Clair, who directed the picture with Ford Sterl- ing in the title role, Aubrey Piper, the "Show-off" is the most typical American character the screen has ever known.
 Essentially" emphasized St. Clair, "The Show-off" is an American crea- tion like baseball, skyscrapers and Broadway, but he is by no means an exclusive U. s. A. product. You will find his counterparts the world over in Europe, Asia and darkest Africa.
 There are all kinds of "show-offs", female as we'll as male. AS a matter of fact, there's a little of the show-off in everyone's nature. When we look around a bit, it is surprising how many Aubrey Pipers we can recognize in one form or another. The fact that they abound so-plentifuHy in real life Is the main reason why people get a Tkick' out of seeing them on the stage or screen. Remember folks, tonight only. A new show again tomorrow night.

FOGs ARE PENETRATED
 BY NEW sEARCHL|CHT

NEW YORK, Sept. 21. P)-An in- vention has recently been made by the Scottish inventor Baird, of an invisi- ble searchlight which it is said will penetrate fog and make naval and military smoke screens useless in war fare The new invention called moe tovision" is the application of the earlier "television" by the same in- ventor.
 It is understood that "notovism" will be applied in the form of an in- visible searchlight having 16 times the penetrating power of beam of ordinary light through fog or smoke
 It is reported that a coasting steam CT running between London and Dun dee has been fitted, during the quar- ter, with this apparatus. A telephone may be connected to the photo-electric cell or electric eye-a vacuum enclos- ing rare elements-which is the soul of the televisor, to make the invisible beam produce a sound when it en- counters a ray of light or solid ob- ject, and the nature of the object can be determined by focusing it on the screen of the noctovision.

 The Signal Corps basketball team is fast rounding into form and it won't

 of any team in Alaska, bar none, no foolin'.
 Smith is an able coach and expects big things from his squad this season.
 He gave them strenuous workout Monday night in preparation for the expected practice game with the crew
 of the Wildcat Wednesday night. By the way Smith is somewhat of a foot ball artist too, he was showing a few of the boys some of the plays he
 used to put over in the Big Time Lea que last night and how he used to stop some of the plays directed thru his po- sition with his ears. In order not to
 be out-done by his firery manager, "Gimpie" Harris then demonstrated
 the Marathon mountain glide with less disastrous results than his first at tempt last August to the huge enjoy ment of the numerous spectators. Slim Lenhart of radio fame also strutted his stuff, it is said that he might be the culprit who broke the basketball bracket up on the board by getting his legs all tangled up in it. No one has a chance with Slim when 1t comes to jumping center and with a little more experience he is going to be hard gent to keep off the team as we'll as the ceiling.
 Spark Plug" Galloway has temper arily laid aside his basketball uniform until he gets his battery recharged, according to the latest report "Sparky" had the heaves, what ever that is, after the last practice game. Here's hoping he gets back soon.
 Abraham Soloman Jesus Uric has signed up as the official mascot for the army team as he claims to be the only one in captivity who can bray like mule and no army team is com plete without it's mule. Tn return for his services the boys have promised to present him with the we'll known brown derby with the red ear flaps.
