JAKE'S' COLORS REVEALED

Those who like their lake" as substi-
tute for the Rock and Rye, or the "Pils-
ner" of former days, will probably be
less inclined to drink it after reading the
analysis of hundreds of samples made by
the government.
Jake, for the information of those
not familiar with the term, is short
name for Jamaica ginger, which has be-
come more or less popular among those
who must have their strong drink and
who are not particular as to what it is or
how it is made, so long as it has kick
to it.
The government analysis shows that
Jake is highly diluted with creosote or
with crude carbolic acid, to give it the
kick that those who use it as beverage
demand. The body of the drink contain
ed 80 to 80 per cent alcohol.
In recent weeks hundreds of cases of
paralysis in the south and west have been
traced to the use of "jake". Those indulg-
ing in the drink suddenly found them
selves unable to walk or to move their
arms, though remaining normal in other
respects. Some of the cases have been
cured, but death has been the price paid
by others for their pains to get the de-
sired kick
According to Prohibition Commission
er Doran, those who are drinking lake"
might Just as we'll be drinking diluted
sheep dip. The latter has never been
known as a desirable drink, no matter
how much it might be diluted.
Now that Jake" is known in it's true
light, there may be considerable falling
off in its popularity as a beverage
though there will be some who will stand
by it until it knocks them over into a
wooden box

4 DAD AND HIS BOY

Thousands of Americans who never
saw the man, will hold considerable SYM
pathy for Walter Johnson, manager of
the Washington American League base
ball club, and the former star pitcher OF
that team for more than two decades.
Johnson, always a credit to the game,
gentleman on and off the field and one
of the best exponents of clean sport ever
developed in any line, has youngster IA
years old. 1t was his hope that the
youngster might follow in his footsteps
and some day be big league pitcher like
his dad.
AS baby the boys first toy was a
baseball, and throughout his childhood
days he has been drilled in the funda-
mentals by the best teacher he could
have.
Several weeks ago the youngster, while
playing in front Of his house, was struck
by an automobile and badly injured.
Both legs were broken and one has failed
to knit properly, so that amputation is
feared.
The "Big Rain, as Johnson was affec-
tionately known in his pitching days, be-
cause of the binding speed with which he
he could throw baseball, sees his hopes
shattered. These he would willingly fore
60 if it would mean that his boy would
not have to go through life cripple.
1t is tough break for Johnson, and if
hoping will do any good, he will have the
best wishes of thousands of his fellow cit
liens that the boy can pull through.
Johnson is used to tough breaks, for he
had them year after year with the low
ly Washington club, and didn't whimper
but stuck manfully by his team. Only in
the twilight of his pitching days did the
real Johnson get his chance. He is fac
ing his toughest foe now, but the old
Johnson will be in there with his boy,
helping him fight his battle as only a
good father can.

UNCLE WIGGILY'S MAPLE
SUGAR

When Uncle Wiggily reached
home with the wooden tub he had
borrowed from Mrs. Twistytail, the
lady pig, and when Nurse Jane had
looked at it the muskrat lady said:
"That is just the right kind of a
tub for catching maple sap from the
tree SO ii can be boiled down to
mape sugar. It's a fine tub"
'1t's a fine boat, too," said Uncle
Wiggily, laughing.
"What do you mean-boat?" ask
ed Nurse Jane.
Then Mr.. Longears told how he
had used the wooden tub as boat
to paddle across the duck pond
when the Fuzzy Fox was chasing
him as ] explained 10 you in the
story last night.
'sThat was fine" squeaked the
muskrat lady. swell, here is your

CHAMBERS HEAR
ASSURANCE OF
BUMPER CROP

That the present acreage under
cultivation in cantaloupes indicates
a bumper crop of that fruit for the
coming season, was the message
given to the members of the asso-
ciated chambers OfI/mmerce of the
valley at their regular monthly
meeting held in Holtville last night,
by Charles Lee, of Brawley.
Lee went on to emphasize that
this expected increase in production
must result in superior fruit being
put on the market and also that
all unsatisfactory melons must not
be allowed to be shipped.
Fred Nebel-Thau, of FL Centre
spoke of the effect the advertising
campaign of the past season had
on the sales of valley lettuce and
the lessons to be learned from this
campaign.
During the business session of the
association it was unanimously re-
solved to cooperate with the Cali
fornia dairy conference to increase
the consumption of dairy products,
not only within the county but also
throughout the state.
The sum of $1,000 was voted the
Barbara Worth Pageant association,
from the treasury Of the association,
said sum to be underwritten by diff
ferent members of the association.
The question of full time secre
tary with offices at the fair grounds
to represent the board of trade, was
considered but no action was taken
at this meeting.
H. w. Tyler, chairman Of the com
mittee appointed to secure earlier
delivery of mail matter, told of
what his committee had done in
this matter to the present and that
the first movements were being
made to secure this much needed

little hole like this in them. And
it doesn't harm them to take some
Of the white sap, or juice, out to
boil down into maple sugar.
OF course there is sap, or juice, in
all trees, but only in the NAPLES is
the sap sweet enough 50 that it may
be boiled into the wonderful brown
sugar with such a fine flavor.
Almost as soon as Uncle Wiggily
had bored the hole some of the
white sap began TO dribble out. Then
he put spigot, or sort of faucet,
INTO the hole in the tree to carry
the sap out to the wooden tub set
on the ground and, after while,
the tub began slowly to fill with
the white, sweet juice that looked
just ike water.
Meanwhile Nurse Jane had found
the old copper sap kettle. Uncle
Wiggily used il each spring, March
being the best time TO make maple
sugar. And there was still clinging
to the edges of the sap kettle some
hard, sugary candy from the sugar
boiling of the year before.
1t was late afternoon before the
tub held enough sap to start the
boiling over fire Uncle Wiggily
had built. The copper kettle hung
over the fire from three gypsy poles
Nurse Jane having scrubbed it clean
after she broke off some Of the old
sugar to give the rabbit children
when they came home from school.
And soon they came trooping in
to the little clearing amid the trees
where Uncle Wiggily was watching
the sweet sap come to a boil.

while. 81 would pour some of this
hot maple syrup on it and 1t would
be maple wax--not as hard as maple
sugar candy, but quite as good"
"Oh, there is some snowl" cried
Jingle, pointing to where there was
a drift, hidden in a hollow where
the sun had not melted it.
"Well, now III make some maple
wax" promised Uncle Wiggily. tie
poured thin film of the hot syrup
on top of the patch of clean snow.
In a moment the syrup cooled and
became thick like sheet of wax.
And when it was cool enough to
handle Uncle Wiggily picked up the
maple wax and divided it among his
rabbits.
Buster bit down too hard on his
piece of sticky candy wax and he
conldn't get his jaws apart. You
should have heard him howl. But
all the Others laughed and soon the
wax melted in Busters mouth and
he could swallow it. Then, after a
while the sap had boiled enough SO
it would turn into maple sugar. 1t
was poured out into creased tins and
when it was hard there was fine
supply of the most wonderful sugar
in the world for eating buckwheat
cakes. After the sugar was made

promised Mr.. LOngears.
How the fire sparkled in the
darkness of evening! How the
flames cracked as Uncle Wiggily
piled on more wood; How good that
sweet, boiling sap smelled; better
than any perfume out of bottle!
From time to time Uncle Wiggily
dipped out little of the boiling
sap to see if it was thick enough
to turn TO sugar. OF course in max
ing real maple sugar the 'sap has
to boil a long time-sometimes two
or three days. But rabbit maple
sugar can be made more quickly.
