How is That for the Price OF coffeea

SIS a pound That was the high price
charged for coffee when it was first in
| troduced into France about the year $40.
1t is said that the first cup of coffee ever
made in Paris was prepared for the Dau-
phin who later became the famous mon
arch Louis XIV.
The delicious beverage had already
been introduced into England. EVELYN
IN his diary says that when he was in col
4 lege there was Greek named Nathaniel
Conopios who introduced the custom, and
achieved quite reputation thereby. This
was the beginning of that long list of Cof-
fee Houses which made the London of
that day memorable in history. The
most famous OF these was Wills Coffee
| House which was at the corner of Russell
and Bow streets, and which had achieved
an earlier notoriety under its name of the
I" Rose and the Red Cow" Here
! Diyden might have been seen sitting in
his great armchair in winter, or lounging
on the little balcony in summer, slipping
coffee to his great delight, and with many
flourshes OF his long pipe, discoursing on
literature and the politics of the time,
with the brilliant circle Of followers who
made Wills Coffee House notable as the
wits Coffee House by their lively and
sparkling conversation.
/. would appear as If coffee stimulated
the flow of conversation, for Sidney Smith
wrote the famous axiom "If you want to
improve your understanding, drink coff-
ee." Even as noted an authority as Sir
James Macintosh used TO say"The differ
ence between men is the difference in the
amount of coffee which they drink.
But Sir James was wrong. 1t is not
the amount but the quality that distin-
guishes the drinkers If you do not be-
lieve this Just buy single pound of the
b and of coffee known as Lion Coffee.
This is the absolutely pure Brazil berry of
full aroma and great potency. A single
pound OF this coffee will make 40 cups.
When you drink cup of Lion Coffeeyou
can say to yourself that you are drinking,
perhaps for the first time, the absolutely
pure atticle-genune coffee.
To protect this famous coffee from
adulteration it is never ground nor sold in
bulk. 1t is sealed in one-pound cartons
in the mills, Immediately after roasting,
ard when opened in the kitchen the
aroma will be found to be retained in the
coffee to a remarkable degree.
1t has been said that pure air, pure
water and pure coffee are what men and
women most need in this busy, busting
life of the Goth century. Pure air comes
from above, pure water comes from be-
low, and pure coffee may be found in one
pound sealed packages with lions head
on the front and the words Lion Coffee
enclosing it; the name of the Woolson
Spice Co. appearing at the foot. These
one-pound packages may be bought at
any store where groceries are sold-that
is. If the proprietor is up-to-date.
