ST. LOUIS. Feb. 34.-The pretzel,

grown in popularity.
Thus speaks C. F. Bets, known
as the "Pretzel King Of America"
who says that business in a pretzel
way has increased 500 per cent in
the past three years.
Instead of the saloon the home
now buys the sailed pretzel which

The explanation might be-home

amount when Volstead was only an

terms.
