STRANGE. lsN,r "a

A woman sees a hat or bonnet in a
milliner's window. 1T Is In the latest
style, so she determines to have that
hat--or one just like It.
No use TO try to dissuade her-she
wants that kind OF haiti No other
win suit her.
There she displays her win power.
and probably does the same with
everything she buys for herself or her
FAMILY. She makes, as 1t were, a fem
snine declaration of independence.
Is It not surprising. therefore, to find
some few women who still allow their
grocers to choose for them in import
ant matters like foodstuffs?
In spite of the fact that grocers as a
ruie have long ago realized the neces-
aity OF catering to their customers
rather than their own desires. there
are still few of the other kind left.
who show marked inclination to per-
suade customers to take what they do
not ask for or desire.
Take Lion Coffee, for instance. the
leader OF all package coffees, an estab-
nshed favorite for over twenty-five
years In millions of homes, on account
OF its absolutely pure and uniform
quality.
Wouldn't you thing 1t impossible
that a. single grocer can 9Th exist who
would oppose such an invincible argu-
ment of merit, by trying to persuade
. customer to buy loose coffee in pref
erence to Lion Coffee?
Loose coffee has no standard quality
nobody can guarantee that 1t Is
even clean.
OF course, really independent and
1nteiiigent women know this, and SO
do up-to-date grocers, but IL women
were as particular about coffee as
about hats. no kind of grocer could be
without Lion Coffee.

win BE mo- Disseminated.

Absolutely no discrimination will be
made between Mormon or non-Mor-
mon In this contest. The only desire
of the promoters is that the handsome
reward offered will induce the literary
and musical people of the state to pro-
duce an anthem touching the history,
characteristics, resources or hopes of
Utah that will be distinctly state
song. The committee that will sift
the manuscripts will be announced in
a few days, and will be composed Of
the best known and most reputable
literary and musical people In the
state.
1t will be great honor to be known
as the author of the words or the com
poser of the music for the state an
them of Utah, and in addition to this
the six successful competitors will re-
ceive for their work sums in excess Of
the amounts paid by the highest class
magazines to the best writers and
composers in the country. In offering
the large sum as an inducement to the
writer's and composers of the state the
promoters of the enterprise hope to in
duce every lover of poetry and music
in the state to take an interest in this
contest and either compete or see to
1t that their friends do so.
People, Alone, Will Decide.
The safeguards which have been
thrown around this contest assure
every one who will compete absolute
ly fair treatment. Neither The Trib-
une nor the committee win have any
thing to do with the choice of the
public. 1t is the intention to make
this purely a popular anthem, and In
order to do so there will be no posi-
BILE chance left to permit of discrimi-
nation or unfairness because of the
political, social, or religious standing
of the competitors. The unknown
writer is as liable to win as the ex-
perienced one In contest of this kind.
Some of the best compositions in the
history of music and literature are the
work of unknown writer's and musi-
clans. The successful competitor for
the honor of writing the words or
music for the state anthem of Utah is
as likely to be poor and unknown as
rich and noted.
1t is the intention of the promoters
of this contest to close 1t in every par
ticular so as to make the awards on
Christmas day. The financial respon-
sibility of The Tribune is an absolute
guarantee that every promise will be
promptly kept.

The "TalI Enders" That Follow GEN
uine Articles.
1t Is sometimes interesting to watch
the curves imitators make to get the
public to buy limitations of genuine
goods.
Every now and then some one will
think there is a splendid opening to
fix up something like Postum Coffee
and advertise the same way and take
some of the business.
An imitator is naturally ignorant of
food values and how to skillfully
make a cereal coffee, on scientific
lines.
Such men first think of preparing
something that looks and tastes like
the original, with no knowledge Of
how the grains should be treated to
prepare them so that the starchy part
is transformed properly and the val
liable nourishing elements made di.
gestible.
Such limitations may be foisted on
the public for short time, but the
people are critical and soon detect the
attempt, then the imitators go out of
business.
Something like 400 of these little
factories have been started in various
parts of this country in the past
years, and practically all of them have
