EAGLE BREW IS

Lynda Has Glass of His Old Beer Found by Dr.
 Simpson

After sixteen years s. zynda's Eagle Brew beer is just as good as ever-just as clear, the color as bright and the taste as good, ac- -cording to Dr. Robert Simpson and S. zynda himself
 The sixteen year old bottle of Eagle Brewing Company beer, made in Juneau, was found not long ago in his basement by Dr. Simpson. For the last three weeks it has been on display in window Of the Nugget Shop. Even this didn't spoil the beer or make it cloudy, MT. zynda remarked after sampling the beer at Dr. Simpsons invita- tion yesterday afternoon.
 T am proud of that bottle of beer, and pleased and surprised" said MT. zynda. who had always had reputation for cleanliness in the making of his beer. No beer could be so good after sixteen years if it hadn't been good and clean and made right in the be- ginning"
 There was foam on the beer too, but not as much as it should have had because the cap had allowed little of the gas to escape, MT. zynda said.
 zynda operated brewery in Ju- neau from 1904 until 1918 when Prohibition became effective He is known as one of the few brewers who ever made a success of the industry in Alaska
 Beer is good for you" he con cluded. After I had a glass of beer, I had such an appetite that ate twice as much dinner as usually do. l appreciate Dr. Simp- sons kindness in giving it to me" :"

PORTLAND, Ore. GN.S0'
When women quit wearing cor
sets the whaling business blew
up, according to Charles D. Brow
er, veteran Arctic ocean whaler'
Brewer has made Point Barrow
Alaska, his home for 40 years, but
he hasn't been whaling since the
ladies went collegiate" in their
dress. Bower said:
"WhalebOne used to be worth
SIS q pound, when the women
were proud of their figures; now
it is worth nothing, SO to speak,
so cents a pound in Paris, I'm
told. Why, a fellow can't even
think of going whaling at that
price,"
Bower has taken to fur trading
in Alaska. Most of his eaten
comes from foxes, nearly all OF
them white, with a few reds
blues and an occasional silver.

GRATEFUL HENS
AID POLICE

P1TTSBURGH.-There is an
old limerick that runs:
Once a great Congregational preacher
Told a hen you're a beautiful crea-
ture."
And the hen, Just for that.
Laid three eggs in his hat.
And thus did the Henry Ward Beecher.
At any rate, the police of Mt.
Lebanon township, Allegheny
county, are convinced that hens
really are grateful. The other
night they came across a man
who had Is chickens in his
automobile and could not prove
ownership. The police automat-
ically became custodians. They
provided a nice coop and the
next day found II eggs in it.
At the end of the following day
the total Of eggs had run up to
30.
Then the chief sold the
chickens and gave the money to
relief association.
