in progress for the foundation of the
addition to the federal building, met
with an accident yesterday morning
which came very near resulting in his
untimely demise but owing to the fac,
that plenty of help was at hand, in
cluded in which was the big derrick
he was rescued uninjured. The animal
was attached to dumpcart and was
being backed up to get load when by
stepping on a stone he got too near
the edge of one of the pits and fell in,
cart and all, the cart on top In this
nit was some water and as the horse
landed all in heap his head was driv-
en- into the mud and water so that
only his nose was above water, which
without doubt saved him from drown

FOOD LAW STRICT
ABOUT COFFEE
Safest to Buy Package Coffee,
Which Must Be Correctly
Labeled and Prove as
Represented.

Many States have tried to solve the
noffee substitution problem, but until
the national pure food law was passed
nothing was done which could hope
10 accomplish the end sought for.
Under the new law the housewife
Is amply protected and enabled to get
lust the coffee she asks for, and be
sure of getting uniform grade every
time she buys.
The pure food law cannot protect the
user Of bulk coffees. because coffee
sold in this way cannot carry any
definite claims of quality by the
packer No one is responsible for it's
uuality. which leaves room for all
kinds Of deception both on yourself
and your grocer.
But the woman who shows a prefer
ence for package coffee can feel sure
of getting one correctly labeled so
buying. She can also feel sure of
getting a blend of coffee which is uni
form and just as represented.
Take the well-known Hotel Astor
and sold under this label is guaran-
teed to be the same in every respect
as that served now and always at
Z the Hotel Astor. New York.
E In buying Hotel 'Astor4 Coffee the
4 housewife owssexactly what she is
4 getting, and can depend upon getting
exactly the same blend in every tin
she buys.
Hotel ASt0r Coffee gives a rich
smooth. fragrant deliciousness that is
the perfection of coffee-and though
far superior in favor to other coffees
It will be found more economical, be-
cause less quantity need be used. 1t
