Our Gospel Team continues
to bring encouraging reports of
their work. Last Sunday, at
one service, two ladies made an
open profession of their faith in

HIDDEN lMPURITY

''If American women knew how
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 1t 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. c. Harwood. And Mr..
Harwood 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 F.
c. Harwood, personally, and it is here
that his power in the Coffee Industry
manifests itself to the qualification of
Denisons 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-pieked berries find their
way into Denison Coffees. His care
is your safeguard against impurity.

SEA FIGHT SPOILED FOREVER
At Least SO Far as Being Favorite
Theme for Artists Is
Concerned.

Truman Fl. Newberry's comments on
our naval equipment serve to remind
US that a favorite theme Of the artist
the sea battle-is spoiled forever.
Modern vessels fight at from ten to
seventeen miles. if they fight at all,
and thrilling pictures such as Jones.
Perry, Farragut, Nelson and Dewey
have inspired probably will not be
painted again.
Marine warfare has become very
largely a matter of hide-and-seek any
way. So far has the gunmaker out
stripped the armorplate builder that
were equally matched vessels to en-
gage, a few seconds firing would re-
duce millions of dollars worth of
ships to scap-iron shambles.
And when the skulking menace of
the submarine is considered we can
understand how completely the ira
ditions of sea fighting have been up
set.
1t was predicted that modern war
fare on land would be stripped of all
its former aspects, but we are told of
bayonet charges, of trenches 40 yards
apart, of steel helmets and even of full
suits of armor being used. Yet on the
sea what destruction has been
wrought has been through methods
far removed from the old-fashioned
stand-up fight through which heroes of
other days won their fame.

TRIBUTE TO THE CANDIDATE
Had Known Him All His Life But
Didn't Know What He
Looked Like.

One morning. when Tom Ship was
running for congress in Indianapolis.
a man called him up on the telephone
and requested an interview with him.
Ship had a busy day before him. and
intimated that opportunities for inter
views were limited.

I've always been devoted to your
interests. You know that don't you,
Tom?"
-Of course" agreed Ship.
And always" relentlessly pursued
the admirer. I've watched your ca.
reer and noted with unspeakable pride
your rapid advancement. It has made
me happier than | can say. You know
that, don't you. Tom?'
Certainly" replied Tom, whose arm
was beginning to ache from holding
the receiver.
You say you're too busy to see me
in your office?" asked the admirer in
an incredulous tone.
I've got an engagement somewhere
else" explained the candidate.
Where will you be about half an
hour from now?"
Shipp considered for a moment
In the lobby of the Claypool no

Sea sIeds for Coast Defense.

Sea sleds are the latest craft to be
considered by the United States navy
for coast defense work. The navy is
experimenting with a half-motor boat,
half-hydroaeroplane, which neither
flies over the water nor cuts through
it. but skips along it's surface. A24-
foot boat of this type has made 361h
miles an hour at navy test. II is
hoped to obtain a boat that will carry
men at IS or 60 miles an hour. 1t is
said 200 of such craft could be built
at the cost of single scout cruiser
and would be much more effective.
