When Coffee
Roasts Itself

When the mass OF hot coffee is taken
out of the rooster it should be turned
stone cold Immediately. If this isn't
done. its own heat will keep on roast
ing the berries at the inside OF the mass.
This means they'll be overoasted and
spoiled in favor.
Thus all the care we take to roast it
perfectly by our special process and
our trained operators would be more
or less thrown away if the cooling
were inadequate.
We've overcome thar danger BIZ our
process of quick cooling which in,tan-
taneously reduces the temperature of
every grain of the coffee TO the tenn
perature Of the air. This fixes" the
favor at just the right point.
This is one of the many points OF de-
voted care we give to making Chocolate
Cream Coffee unvaryingly delicious in

thing with the street cars and the

The Tribune is convinced there is a

which sum remained in the hands of
the public utilities companies as long
as the service was continued. If dis
continued. the subscriber was supposed
10 get it back but unless ultra persist

Now. at one fell swoop. the railroad
commission has abolished this charge

HELPING THE FARMERS.
CMarion I,eader-Tribune) }

Every year the farmer markets a
big crop, there is trouble in market
ing it. In some localities this trouble
is marked. In others it is not so much
so. After a winter of continual ex-
penditure, and a summer of hard
work, harvesting time comes and
finds the farmer without his means
necessary for sending his crops to the
market. Bankers and private indi-
viduals have helped out this problem
before. Now the government is about
to take a hand The government has
announced itself as ready and willing
TO provide funds for the farmer to
enable him to send his crops to mar
ket. Nor is this all. The government
is also going to give its advice-the
advice of its eXperts-to the farmer,
to enable him TO market his crops
most advantageOusly.
This is in line with bringing the
government and the farmer closer to-
gether. The success and prosperity
of the rural community spells the
same for the city and the nation.
That is why ii is vital that the farmer
be given every assistance possible by
the officials.
it was announced that it would be a
boon to the farmer, in that it would
place him in position to secure money
easier when money was needed. This
is just what the government is about
to make available. Through the re-
gional banks the government has

DEMOCRATIC VIEW OF MIR. TAFT
charleston News and Courier.)

Keeping ones self before the public
is supposed to be an aid to political
advancement and success. Whether il
really is or not is problematical; but
the theory is widely prevalent; and
the public man who keeps himself be-
fore the public is generally supposed
to do so with an eye to the main
chance. Sometimes the public ac-
cents good humoredly the publicity
achieved by such a man, sometimes it
pokes fun at him, sometimes it dis
plays irritation and utters sharp re-
Dukes.
1t is significant that its attitude to-
ward Mr.. Taft belongs in none of
these three categories, not even in the
first OF Americans who do not hold
public office and who are not directly
connected with the public business.
there is probably not one whose name
is in the papers as often as that of Mr..
Taft This eX-preSident receives an
enormous amount of free advertising.
Compared with him, Roosevelt is
comparatively a stranger to the front
page. And yet nobody pokes fun at
Mr.. Taft because he is forever getting
into the papers, or gets irritated with
him. or really believes that he tries to
keep himself before the public or is
after advertising because of the po-
litical profit it may bring him.
This ought TO be highly gratifying to
the man whose people declined to let
him serve a second term as president
of the United States. IL ought to &c
a long way toward compensating for
his failure at the white house 1t is
a tribute to his honesty rather than to
his brains 1t does not mean that any
/ very large proportion of the people OF
the country want to see Mr.. Taft presi-
| dent again. 1t does not mean that
| they consider him fitted in extraordin-
airy degree for the highest office and
the greatest honor in the gift of the
people. 1t means simply that they per-
ceive Mr.. Taft to be in the truest sense
