GERMANS AGAIN FIERCELY
BOMBARDING VERDUN
Pacific News Service.
PARIS, July 21.—After a brief sus
pension of activities during the
Franco-Rrltish offensive along the
Somme the Germans have again re
newed the terrific bombardments
against the defenses of Verdun and
tons of huge shells front the seige
guns are again tearing up the soil
around the French works.
Throughout the Somme drive the
Germans have made but little effort
to further reduce the French defense
ill this section, seemingly having di
verted a large portion of their reserve
forces to the British front. The pres
ent great assault is undoubtedly the
prelude to further attempts to con
ipier the great French Stronghold.
Along the Somme front the Ger
mans attempted fierce counter attacks
against the French positons during
the night. The assaults were all re
pulsed and the war office announce
ment this morning states that the
French are now solidly planted in I
the positions lately captured and" can
be dislodged only with the greatest
difficulty. The French are today con
ducting a heavy bombardment along
this line.

Pacific News Service.
OTTAWA, Can., July 21.—Samuel
Hughes, Canadian minister of muni
lions, has been completely exonerated
of the charges preferred against him
in connection with the granting oi
munitions contracts for the Canadian
military forces.
Hughes, together with a number of
prominent parliamentarians, were ac
cused of having granted ammunition
contracts to certain American firms

reached the proportions of a scandal
and resulted in tin investigation by a
royal commission of which Meredith
Duff is chief commissioner. Huff has
just announced after an extensive in
' esligat ion that the charges against
Hughes are without foundation al
though the prices paid for munitions
under the contracts a re admitted to
he decidedly high. It is shown to the
satisfaction of the commission that
Hughes was not connected directly
with the letting of the contracts. It
is announced, however, that, the mat
ter will lie further investigated .anil
the commission will return to France
to investigate other phases of the
matter.

Extract of Letter just received regarding

Every housewife is interested in Clean, sanitary food for the table. One of the most essential
requisites in the manufacture and handling of food products is cleanliness. This is particularly i
true of blitter because of its susceptibility to contamination. Iteccnl developments lend added inter
est to the subject of cleanliness in the handling of food.
Cleanliness In handling the cream, both before and after passing through the true pasteuriza
tion process; cleanliness in handling the product, and above all, absolute cleanliness in the sur
roundings, are requirements which must obtain in order to secure a pure, clean, sanitary product S
fit for human consumption.
It has been the aim and ambition of the officers of this company for years past to, at the proper
time, construct a plant for the manufacture of our product that would bo an "IDEAL” Creamery, j
“up-to-date” in every particular in efficiency, elennVinoss and sanitation, and we arc proud that wo
arc in a position at this time to be able to state that the desired end has been accomplished.
Our new building Is constructed of hollow lib', with numerous windows, transoms and vcntill.it
ing devices of the most modern pattern, thus giving us an abundance of light, and clei n, fresh air; i
our floors are of concrete, all sloping to a drain which carries off. all water immediately after being i
, used; our machinery is run by water power, thereby cutting out all the dust incidental to a steam
| operated plant; our walls, chums, receiving and pasteurizing vats are all white enamelled; all win- j
•lows and doors are thoroughly screened, and, as a consequence, everything In and about the plant is j
| as splc and span as a new pin and very easily kept In this sanitary condition. ;
! Operating under these clean and sanitary conditions and surroundings, with a butter maker in i
charge who has years of practical experience behind him and with able ami competent assistants; ac- ■
| cepting nothing inti clean, pure anti wholesome cream, anil pasteurizing by the latest ami truest
| processes known, we are able to offer to the public in our “ALBERT.',” brand of butter, a product
that has NO superior in the Northwest. If there is any maimer possible In which to produce a better j
or more wholesome, cleaner or purer grade than ott r "ALBERTA” “no g mi" butter, we do not know
i ' whnt it Is. . I
