Hot Days and Cool Root Beer A Wholesome Cooling Drink- But lc a Glass What could be more refreshing and cooling on a warm day than a spark ling, delicious glass of cool home made root beer, made from Hires Household Extract! The tendency in hot weather—es pecially of the children —is always to quenching. But at" the same time, bev rages containing artificial flavor ings must be avoided. Homemade fc t beer, made from Hires House hold Extract. however, contains neither substitutes nor artificial flav orings. Hires Household Extract is made from the juices of pure bark, berries, herbs, and roots, including ginger, spikenard, wintergreen. and birch bark. This means that it is pure. You can drink as much as you want of the root beer you make from Hires Household Extract! And It's surprisingly easy to make. All you need is a bottle of Hires Household Extract, sugar, and a yeast cake. That 25c bottle of Hires House hold Extract makes forty pints or eighty glasses—costing less than lc a glass! Collect all those old bottles which have been accumulating down the cel lar —short-necked, long-necked, quart and pint. You can use them all! If you need corks for them, you can get some Hires specially prepared air tight. bottle stoppers from the grocer when you buy your bottle of Hires Household Extract. But you will enjoy your homemade root beer! f gooseberries Gooseberry jelly tastes good, sometimes when nothing else does! Its cool, tart flavor is so refreshing! A full preserve shelf means money saved next winter. The cost of your sugar is a small part of the value of your preserves, but it is important to have the right cane sugar.

CHARGE MONEY IS BUYING TITLES Old Nobility Becoming Jeal ous of Having Caste Lowered 'London, July 24. The tender spot in British political life to-day is the dispensation of titles. These' are awarded, of course, by the King, but on the nomination of the Prime Min ister, and the criticism of reformers is that titles have been given for a long time and by various Prime Ministers for purely party services and practically bought of contributions to party funds. The House of Lords has a peculiar interest in this matter - because the old, noble families are jealous of having their caste lowered by the addition of the newly rich, and purely rich to the orders of nobility. The question was threshed out last year and there was a general under standing that hereafter when honors were announced the reason for their bestowal should be published. This has been done in form but it is alleged not in substance, because several much criticized honors in the last list were described as "for public services," which might mean almost anything. The new National Party, which has a few members in the House of Con mons has taken up the question. The Chairman, General Page Croft, has written to the newspapers proposing to prove before any judicial committee that since 1910 one member of Parlia ment has rejected an offer of a title in return for a cash payment to party funds and that the father of a member of the House of Commons was offered a baronetcy for £25,000. He charged also that a member of Parliament who was created a Peer after the beginning of the war sub scribed shortly afterward a very large sum of money to a newspaper .that supports the Premier. He mentions also instances in which he says titles were granted to a politi cian of so notorious a character as to be regarded as unfit to be a candidate for Parliament, to another politician re garded as unscrupulous and to a third man "previously involved in a notorious social scandal." General Page Croft offered to prove all his charges.
