Tasty Spaghetti Dishes

It's mistaken idea to suppose
that only in Italy is Spaghetti really
at its best. You can prepare it your
self in as many ways as the most ex-
pert Italian cook, and with just as
good, if not better results, provided
you use Faust Brand Spaghetti, and
are aided by the book of over twenty
Useful reciper which will be sent free
on request.
Faust Brand Spaghetti is a most
wonderful food. Nourishing a. meat
mo end to the ways of preparing it
and sold at an astonishingly low
price-a price not at all in keeping
with its great cooking usefulness and
food value
Because of it's delicious flavor Faust
Spaghetti is always welcome. Because
of its wonderful adaptability it never
becomes monotonous. Because of Its
economy it should always have a
prominent place on the grocer's order.
Prove its goodness by getting five
or ten cent package today. Nearly all
grocers sell it. And don't forget to
write for the free recipe book.

manufacture of red dye because IL in

COUNTERFEITS
This Section Flooded Just
Now With Bogus Half
Dollars

Look out for bright new half dollars,
dated 1907. equal in almost every detafi
to the genuine. but which are the most
dangerous counterfeits that have been
thrown upon the public in many years.
Pittshurg, it is said, is the present center
Of operations OF gang that is scattering
these coins throughout the East
For several days past complaints have
been coming to the United States Secret
Service offices Of the circulation OF these
spurious coins in cigar stands. stecet cars.
incline planes. and among fruit dealers
The complaints have increased from day
to day, and all displayed the Same type
of coin and told the same story. Not one
bui at least half dozen persons were dea-
cribed as the one from whom the coins
came.
Occasionally a slight defect has been
noticed in applying the nitrate Of sil-
ver. but it is so slight to the casual OBJ
server it would not attract notice.
So soon as the seriousness OF tile week
was learned the Secret Service officials
at Washington were notified and opera
tives from Washington, New York and
Philadelphia were ordered to Pennsyi-
vania in a hurry and they are hard 1t
work on the case.
