GENUINE GRAETZER BEER.

Graetzer Beer which has enjoyed for more than op years a favourable reputation, is brewed from the best German wheat malt and the finest hops, without any further mixture. It will keep good indefinitely in all climates, remaining always clear as crystal and bright as gold, without pasteurising. On account of its large percentage of genuine and health giving carbonic acid, it has a refreshing and thirst quenching effect and stimulates the appetite.

Graetzer Beer is strongly recommended and frequently prescribed by physicians for con valescents, sufferers from stomach complaints and even diabetics. Its excellent qualities combined with extraordinary stability make it a

First Class Export Beer,

It is a speciality in Beer and therefore particu. larly adapted for shipment to the Tropics.

ITALIAN SUCCESS IN TWENTY-

FOUR HOURS' TEST. Signor Ramponi and Count Lurnul, of Italy, in an Alfa-Romeo Double car. won the British Twelve hours' race at Brooklands recently at an average speed of 6 miles an hour, A Bentis (81.30) m.p.b.) driven, by Sir R. Gunter and S. C. H. Davis, was second; a Salmon (67.03 m.p.h.), driven by M. Vincedon and F. J. Clarke, was. third; and an Alpha-Romeo (73.0 m.p.h.), driver by B. Ivanovsky and W. E. Dunkley, was fourth.

The Prince of Wales arrived on the course about lunch time, and walked round watching the progress of the competitors.

The second half of the race began when thirty-five much-begrimed cars started off.

Soon after the race restarted a drizzling rain fell, and as the morn ing advanced the weather conditions became worse. The truck became sticky, with the result that there was lower speed generally. At one o'clock Ramponi and Lirani, who were the leaders at the end of the first day's run, were still leading by a short distance.

THE WOMAN'S CORNER.

SECRETS OF THE CASSEROLE.

[BY JOSEPHINE VINCENT.}

To the busy housewife, as well as

to the good and economical house- keeper, few cooking utensils are so useful and worry-saving as her casserole dishes, be they of tough,

brown crockery or dainty green, red and blue with gilded edge and hand- les, or fire-proof glass. Glass is particularly suitable for fruit or vegetable casseroles..

Yet few cooks know all the many things that a well-treated casse- role, will do for them. You can cook a small roast with its accompany. ing vegetables, for instance, in a atout, unlidded casserole 'over a low gas-jet with economy and labour saving, and the meat in preparation will need far less attention, retain more of its savour, swell rather than shrink, and, if tough, certainly prove tenderer, than if put in the

oven.

"PURE SILK" AND

Do you know the difference be tween pure silk and all silk" fabrics It is important..

Silk possesses the power of ab. sorbing certain chemicals whereby its weight and volume can be great- ly increased. "Pure silk means... that the fabric is all silk and con-

tains no

But weighting matter, "al silk" only means that the fabric contains no other fabric than silk-that is, no cotton or artificial Bilk, etc.; it may contain very much weighting

The average crêpe de chine sold is almost half silk and the rest of its weight is due to loading or weighting.

Experiments made by the Burenli of Standards of the U.S.A. Govern ment showed that when exposed to sunlight weighted silk loses strength about two and a half times as fast

as pure silk. After exposure to a hundred hours of sunlight pure silk lost a quarter of its strength and weighted silk lost two-thirds of its strength.

Weighted silk is, therefore, not enduring material for outdoor frocks or tennis frocks, nor is it well suited for long life articles, such as embroidered shawls, etc.
