The Man or Men

/ Who can drink the quantity of drug ktore whiskey in one day that those New Haven detectives did, and re- member all their doings that day, must be heteroclitical fiibbertergib- bet. But the people who are foolish enough to drink the tea and coffee which some people are guilty of selling knocks the spotters sky high. We can't understand why sensible people will pay good money for poor tea and coffee, when they can just as easy come to our store, and get the good kind for the same price they pay for the poor quality elsewhere. Well, the liquor spies are through with their sensational work and the excitement has all blown over; now. since such is the case we hope and trust they have shown hundreds, yes thousands of people. that it's all folly to drink in toxicating drink every time you're thirsty. It's all nonsense to have such ideas. Just try some good, clean, nice fasting tea or coffee when you are thirsty next time and sec how much happier and contented you will feel. Remember. one pound of our Tea will make 3To cups of q delicious beverage. Tignre it out and see how much per cup it costs you. 90 cents DOT pound and 4 bars of best soap with each pound. Say. who would see their child without sled in winter, when you can purchase q good one for Fl gents at
