true that if all semblance of justi-

by the stopping of unnatural rapes,
lynching would cease. Now when
so many offenses of this kind are
being reported, it is significant to
find in paper OF the Pacific Coast.
The Portland Oregonian, these
editorial utterances: There is one
remedy for lynching that is little
discussed, but which would prove
effective, and that Is for these negro
ravishers to let white women and
girls alone. If they will stop This
one crime, justice will be permitted
TO take its measured way with their
other offrnses. This 1t Is which
sets every women Ia the country

him let white girls alone. \

Here thought arises. Rape is
not capital crime in many states,
but popular sentiment In cases
where II Is unprovoked approves OF
the death penalty for it. A law
which Furnishes rape with a mere

lowers the dark cloud of race

to observe some respectable papers,

Removing Your Coffee Troubles.

Coffee is one OF the hardest things In
the world to buy-speaking from the
standpoint OF the housewife.
The quality Of most articles can be
judged or tested in some manner, but it
is impossible to tellanything about coffee
until you prepare it and serve it. Even
with it except that it doesn't taste right,
and people generally go ahead using un-
satisfactory coffee because there seems
to be nothing else to do. Trying some
thing else is no guarantee OF satisfaction
and often proves case OF jumping from
the frying pan into the fire.
VIM. Schotten & Company offer the
housewife way out of this difficulty.
Their new brand of coffee, Schotten's
1904 Roasted Coffee, is sold under guar
nntee Of high quality and uniformity.
Every lot is subjected to the most rigid
drinking tests before being packed and
it is thus made absolutely certain that
the quality, the grade and flavor remain
always the same. Consequently, IL you
like the flavor Of this coffee, you will
have no more coffee troubles. You will
always be sure Of getting what you got
before. Schotten & Company vii! see to
that.
This coffee is q blended coffee made
with the utmost care Of the best coifees
raised throughout the world.
It is packed in pound cartons and sells
at only 25 cents, although its quality is
said to be superior to that of ordinary
30-cent and 35-cent coffee.
VIM. Schotten & Company have just
published a book, entitled, "Coffee
Hints" which is not only an advertise
ment for this brand Of coffee, but which
also gives much valuable information
and suggestions about this important
topic. This book is sent free upon
application.
