TN cooking, when an ingredient has
L lost its strength, you use more than
the receipt calls for. When buying, it
pays to get fresh goods. That means
full strength and your moneys worth.
This is especially true Of coffee. Roasted
coffee, exposed to air, quickly loses
strength, and double the Quantity is
required. Many women pay as much
for cheap coffee as Chase & Sanborn's
famous "Seal Brand would cost. Seal
Brand is shipped in alright cans on
the day it is roasted. You get the full
strength. Try it once!

that he ought to be invited to set forth
his intentions more clearly. Ultimate
,ly it was decided to appoint a commit
tee empowered to address a communi-
cation to Senior Palma asking him to
state more fully his intentions and his
purposes If elected president. Gen.
