SCREENING OUT MOSQUITOES.
Health Authorities Wrrn That Small
Mesh Screen IS Needed to Keep
Out Pest.

Richmond, Va, April 16.-fSDeciaN
Officers of the State Board of Health
who are now engaged in ma'aria'-
prevention worl, in the south side
cou~ tiec have rerorted to the head
quarters of the BOARD here that riti-
zens who are anxious to screen their
houses against mosquitoes are exner-
fencing some difficulty in getting
wire netting with a suffic;e~t small
mesh to bar the pest. They stat"
that most of the wire netting on sale
is twelve meshes to the inch. This
is sufficient to ',eep out flies hut It
offers slight obstacle to the mosquito
The board has recommended for
screening purposes, Ia mesh wire net
ting, covered with a thin coating OF

HIDDEN iMPURITY

eff American women knew now
much of our Coffee lies on the ground
for days, before the berries are finally
swept up and harvested, greater care
would be exercised in purchasing
this food. For this Coffee is impure.
But its moldy color is lost In the roast
ing, and the partial decay Is concealed
until it comes up harsh and bitter in
the cup. This fact is not generally
known to importers, for few of them
have studied conditions existing prior
to the arrival of their ships in port"
So writes F. G. Harwood. And Mr..
HARDWOOD knows. His long experience
in the tropical coffee growing coun-
tries, his deep intimacy with planta-
ton owners, his close study of their
customs, their methods and the
Tricks of their Trade" has acquired
for him fund Of knowledge which
places him far in the leadership of
coffee connoisseurs, both here and
abroad.
Denison's Coffees are selected by +.
G. Harwood, personally, and it is here
that his power in the Coffee Industry
manifests itself to the qualification of
Denison's Brands. His wisdom and
critical discrimination is appreciated
by Coffee Growers the world over, and
their respect gives him first choice Of
the worlds finest crops. Thus, only
pure, hand-picked berries find their
way into Denison Coffees. His care

SAY U-B0AT HID FROM ARABIC
survivors, of Steamer Dunsley Declare
German Submarine Concealed
y Herself Behind Hulk.

Liverpool Aug 23.-According to
survivors of the steamer Dunsley, tor
pedoed by a German submarine just
before the White Star liner Arabic
was sunk, the underwater craft hid
behind the Dunsley's unsunk hulk to
lay in wait for the larger vessel. The
survivors declare they had been order
ed off their ship and were in lifeboats
when the submarine concealed herself
from the approaching Arabic.
1t is stated that when the liner
came close enough to make an attack
possible the submarine submerged
went around the Dunsley's stern and
launched the fatal torpedo. Survivors
say that the German boat, which came
up alongside the Dunsley bore no
number.
No previous definite statement as to
the fate of the Dunsley has come
through from London. 1t was announc-
ed that she had been torpedoed, but
It had not been known whether she
succeeded in reaching port with her
passengers.

Waterproof Matches.

Hint for camping and fishing par

the annoying experience Of finding
yourselves miles from a store and all
the matches in your possession so
damp that they could not be used.
A fact worth knowing is that matches
can be made waterproof without in
jury by dipping them in very hot
melted paraffin, allow them to cool
and they are ready for use. The par
ATTN does not interfere with their use
in the regular way and they are alb

DECIDES UPON TWO STEPS
Wilson and Advisors Fix Tentatively
Upon Course to Be Taken as
to Germany.

Washington, Aug. 23.-Before the
signed to terminate the diplomatic
Interchange regarding the submarine
issue was cabled to Berlin, the Presi-
dent and his advisors deemed it wise
to fix tentatively upon the steps that
would be taken if Germany dsre-
garded the warning then given.
Although no intimation was given
that the government had any suspic-
ion that the German government
would commit a breach of the prin-
ciples stated by the United States,
the fact was that the actual decision
was reached at that time, so that the
future relations of the United States
with Germany were made to depend
entirely upon the conduct of the lat
ter nation.
Decide Upon Two Steps.
According to the best information
secured in the interval since the note
was dispatched, two steps were de-
cided upon tentatively. These are:
First-the severance of diplomatic
relations--a step which the president
may take upon his own constitutional
authority.
Second-Congress to be called into
session Immediately to receive full
information from the executive branch
of the government as to the acts of
Germany so that it may exercise it's
prerogative deciding what further
steps if any shall be taken to main
tain the honor of the country and
protect the rights of it's citizens.
National Defense Program.
1t is believed that the first move
the president would make after SUBJ
hitting the issue to congress would
be to present his national defense
program.

serious complications to arise out of

An attache of the German embassy,
without disclosing his source Of infor
nation, asserted positively that the

torpedoed, and that the shot was fired
only after the captain of the White
Star inner had made desperate effort
