use Of the coffee is continued the all

.er doses of the drug are demanded.
Then comes a day when the victim
realizes with horror that he has be-
come the slave of. a terrible habit, the
most difficult to overcome OF any known

their graves every year because Of drug
addictions, and the proportion Of those
who recover is very small indeed, for

Very few. perhaps ever deliberately

tinuance but with each dose the power
TO resist the appetite it creates grows
less. And those who do not Understand
the dangers OF coffee indulgence are.

Candied Cranberries

<sandied cranberries are quite as pretty
anu appetizing as the candied cherries
that are used so much for frosted cakes
and puddings or serving with creams and
sherbets. That they are much cheaper
than the bright maraschinos goes without
saying. TO prepare them, select the bright
red Caps Ga Vranberries and allow half
as much suscy as berries and half as
much cold water as sugar. Put the berries
inD'a deep dish, sprinkle sugar on top
like a crust, and pour the water on top

break into a boil cover just few mo-
