circumstances whose absence might have been well
coined have of late years given increasing publicity
the word graft This is somewhat OF a newcomer as
compared with DOODLE which appears have earned a
needed if absolutely legitimate place with lexi-
cographers The Hartford Times recently discussed the
words graft" and pull" as follows
The word graft invented by tramps to signify
any method of appealing to the sympathy of the public
by story Of misfortune appearance Of suffering
is creeping into general It has to mean
any perverson Of trust private benefit The presi-
dent Of corporation who is voted salary greater
the value of his services is CRATER" much the
sturdy beggar who Stimulates blindness Both get living
out of other people by false pretenses
The word pull" is almost as disagreeable as the
word graft" It suggests ilegitimate influence You
have pull to set political graft the word
is used in way that suggests that merit the
of services have little influence political appointments
Graft it need hardly be said in the ordinary sense
is derived from word meaning write on account Of
the resemblance pointed pencil the used
the process of reegrafting Pull has been in common
political for generation way that was sug-
gested those knowing anything politics 1t
often allied with characteristic terms such as pulling

Coffee the Lancet declares, is a stmuant like alco-

likely prove grateful Information TO the thousands OF
Americans who think they begin the day without
free indulgence in coffee and who often consume that
beverage with each of the three daily meals.
The increasing demand for the berry from which this
drink throughout the United States and in many
other countries we'll despite the effort to prove that
effects upon the human system are deleerous would

things they like, matter what the consequences.
