Ex periments in over a thousand laboratories guar antee its purity. In these days of "steeple chase" drinks, which are little more than experiments in velocity, Schlitz aging possesses great significance. Schlitz concludes the process of fermentation in the brewery. Fermentation is the work of living organisms. But these organisms alive in your stomach will cause biliousness, flatulence, and a host of other ills. Schlitz is thorougnly aged, fermented. Then it is sterilized by Pasteur's process through which no organism can live. These processes cannot be accomplished without time. It takes months to create Schlitz. During these months the brew is made according to the latest dictates of science, based on discoveries dating back 260 years to Leeuwenhoek, the Hollander, who first used the micro scope for examination of fermentation organisms. After all this care in brewing, Schlitz is filtered through white wood pulp, put into sterilized bottles of Brown Glass to protect it from all possibility of deterioration. v Order a case of Schlitz for your home today. ms On sale wherever drinks are sold.

I WILL RETURN TO Life among the SAVAGE ISLAND head hunters of Borneo is less exciting than life among the taxi drivers and gangsters of Chica go, according to Frederick Burlington, who, in company with his wife has just returned from the South Seas. Burling ton states that he was so well treated by the savages in the wilds of Borneo, that he is going to return there shortly. He says that weapons are almost unneces sary, one meeting with no difficulty un less he has wronged the natives or in jured them in some manner. The ab sence of liquor is also noticeable, de clares the traveller, who says that at native celebration the lack of wine resulted in the clipping of the heads of a couple of the celebrants to liven up the affair. The offenders were promptly arrested, and sentenced to" serve five years at hard labor. Th.e purchase of land by whites has first to be arranged with the natives, and then with the Dutch government.
