BEST WAY TO
BUY COFFEE
Its Supysr iivanias" - Reasons Why
Hous.tsspers Should Adopt It,

The old way Of buying coffee IN
bulk from the bin has been found TO
be unsanitary and unreliable, The
advent OF package coffee denotes that
the housekeeper has daveoped moro
discriminating taste. and so has
grown infinitely more particular.
II is a well known fact that coffee
must be packed In Dramatically sealed
tins, else It loses much OF that deli
cate richness and full.bodied coffee
taste which 50 easily makes the good
coffee distingulshabe from the bad.
Many manufacturers have adopted
this new package idea, so that nev
grocers almost everywhere have
taken II up; and as a consequence
the old-style dust-catching and un-
sanitary bins are rapidly disappear
ing.
But like other new and improved
ideas, this one has It's share Of !nfe-
rior limitations. To be absolutely
sure OF getting the best coffee-real
coffee-coffee that Is coffee in every
sense OF the word-you should ask
for Hotel Aston Coffee and Insist
upon getting It.
This most perfect coffee was or!g!.
nally blended for the exclusive use
Of the Hotel Astor, but is now packed
for family trade in one and three
pound alright tins-in the bean,
ground or pulverized-and 10 guar.
antesd to be the same coffee IN every
respect a. that served now and az
ways at the famous Hotel Aston, New
York.

istying and the most economical cot.

Prohibition.


 The Star is perefeetly willing tc give statutory prohibition a fair trial in Alabama. The editor of this news paper believes that statutory prohibi- tion should be tried for several years before 1t Is made a part of the con stitution of the State. Enthusiasts and sentimentalists should remember that eighteen states have tried prohibi- as the most satisfactory solution of question that is very old. It is not a time for sensational statements about evils resulting from whiskey crimes and sorrows directly charge able to liquor selling. The same Is true of deadly and demoralizing drugs. That liquor is an evil, demanding care has never denied. At heart The Star is for local option. but never again for the open saloon. Where liquor voters, The Star believes that 1t should be sold in a dispensary. owned and order to enforce a law a majority of the law falls Into contempt. In this enlightened age men are adverse to dictation. First of all you must ap- you say to fellow citizen. T don't want liquor. and you shall not have it," immediately you arouse a spirit of antagonism that bodes no good for the faults and frailties and opinions of others Is essential in solving the liquor problem. You must lead by kindly hands. You must get on higher plane yourself and bring your brother up to a higher sense of duty to himself and his community. Right living Is It's own reward. When you have educated your nelghbor up to that standard of belief. its not going to be necessary to have local option or prohibition laws to keep hinp good However, first of all. you must learn that laws do not make men good. Get their heads and hearts right.e That's the best gold cure-the best prohibi- ton measure that the world has ever known When a fellow tells you he is unable to stand temptation, you should get a doctor for that fellow, instead of a law book.

JACKSON ENTHUSIASTIC.
Bfrmingham Man Urges Commiss

bArmnmGh0m Man urges COmmssssom ss M Government.
 Birmingham, Aug. 14-(Special.)-- "The fight for the passage of the Ur- cuhart bill Is won if the people of Bir- mingham will do their part" said F. M. Jackson. who has been in Montgomery during the past few days working with other representative citizens to secure the passage of this law.
 ''The question as 1t stands now Is simply this: Shall the people be al- lowed to vote for the form of govern ment they desirer This is a right that should be granted them and 1t will be a very remarkable state of affairs should the Legislature deny them this right.
 '@Ths difficulty now is the great body Of citizens are leaving 1t to few to carry on the light. The men who have been giying their time and labor to this work expect nothing from 1t ex- cspt a better form of government and they should receive the hearty co-op- eration of every citizen in the greater city.
 "Every man in Greater Birmingham who wishes to see this measure put through and the people accorded the right to vote upon the form of govern. ment under which they are to live should let his influence be felt in Montgomery. Every citizen who appre- ciates what it means to be denied the right to vote on a question of such vital concern should go to Montgomery and voice his protest against the Leg islature denying him this privilege
 "The contest is now up to the peo- pie. If they will go down to Mont gomery and let the lawmakers know how they feel upon this subject the fight is won. Monday and Tuesday should witness a great outpouring of Birmingham people toward Montgom- cry. Every one who can get to the capitol should go and let the lawmak- CTS know that the people are behind the movement. It is strictly a light for the people and the people should respond.
 "The success of the reform meas ures passed at Montgomery depends in a large measure upon efficient of- ficials and if these laws are to be giv- en fair trial it is up to the people to see that they are accorded the right to discharge any official who fails to measure up to his duty.
 'Tt should be a very pressing en- gagement that will serve to keep the friends of good government (who be- lieve in the right of the people to rule, from going to Montgomery next week and working for the passage of the Urquhart bill.
 'Let great crowd go down and the cause is won."

Iowa. iNisconsin, Minnesota and the Dakotas. where a considerable increase in box ears, assembled in anticipation of the movement of the enormous crops just harvested or to be harvested, offsets the decrease in other kinds of cars.
