$25 FAILS TO GET BESS
Police and Boy Scouts Search City
' for Kidnaper and Little One.
Bess was only a little black and
tan terrier, but her friendly disposi
tion apparently appealed to someone
with a thieving disposition and a love
for dogs.
At any rate she disappeared from
the home of her mistress. Mrs. G. L.
Brown. 645 Ladd avenue, last Friday
and all efforts of the police to locate
her have been unsuccessful.
In the hope of recovering the ani
mal Mrs. Brown offered a reward of
$25, but even this has so far been
without results.
The boy scouts were yesterday
asked to take up the hunt in the be
lief that they might be successful
where the police have failed.
The dog had a harness etudded with
steel buttons at the time of her disappearance.

CHICAGO, Aug. 5. A request that
former Premier Huszar of Hungary,
who is now in New Tork, be asked
not to visit Chicago was filed today
with Berthold Singer, Spanish consul
here, by representatives of the Hun
garian societies. The appeal was ad
dressed to Mr. Singer because Spain
is handling Hungarian interests In
America. Spokesmen for the Hun
garian societies said they feared an
outbreak if Premier Huszar appeared
here, as many Hungarians hold him
responsible for pogroms and oppres-
ion of Jews in Hungary. reeling
here is so strong against the former
premier, they told Mr. Singer, that it
would be impossible to guarantee
Huszar's life in Chicago.

tend to visit Chicago," Karl Huszar,
former premier of Hungary and now
in America on official business, said
today.

their city have taken those steps for
nothing. I intend to return to Hun
gary In two weeks after finishing my
business here in relation to relief for
Hungarian prisoners in Siberia."
He denied the statement that 50,000
Jews would be massacred in Hungary
if he was harmed here.

SCHLITZ cannot be made in a day or a week. Months
are required for its proper aging, in order that it
may not offend your stomach.
From 1660, when the Dutch scientist, Leeuwenhoek, was
first to examine fermentation under a microscope, through
over a hundred years of experiment, when scientists
demonstrated that fermentation results from vegetable
activity, to Pasteur who originated the accepted process
of sterilization to kill ferments after their work was
complete, the brewing of a cereal beverage has been
the creation of science.
You who savor the smoothness, the tang, the delicious
flavor of Schlitz do not realize the vast work of chemistry
and biology which lies behind this master brew.
No "two-day" beverage, no "green" drink, no "experiment
in velocity" yields flavor and purity equal to Schlitz. Such
beverages, rushed through to meet a hurried demand, will
set your stomach churning, cause flatulence and indigestion.
Avoid these interior discomforts; drink Schlitz. For Schlitz
is fully fermented, aged, and brewed scientifically.
