THE SECRET

of good coffee is to get pure, sound coffee
If you ask your dealer he will tell you
that all coffees are pure, as the law pro-
hlbits the sale of substitutes as coffee.
Not all apples are pure although they
are apples. Some of them are often rotten
Some coffees are windfalls, and whilst
the law allows them to be called coffee
they are impure and have harsh taste.
Denison's Coffees are picked coffees, the
berries picked by hand from the trees,
consequently they are always pure and
sound in every sense of the word, reliable
and delicious.
Denison's Coffees are always packed in
cartons, bags or cans with the name on
every package. All others are limitations.
If your grocer does not stock Denison' s
Coffees, write the Denison Coffee Co., Chi
cage, ILL.,, who will tell you where they
can be obtained in your vicinity.-Adv.

Money From Snakes.

Lewis Anthony, well-known Ware
farmer, expects to take legal action
against negro named John Ham.
mond because the negro killed a large
rattlesnake on Mr.. Anthony's farm, ao
cording to a Waycross (Ga) CORE
spondent of the New York Sun.
Mr.. Anthony catches all snakes in
figures that the negro has caused him
loss of at least $40 in killing the rat
tier.
Hammond was working near Mr..
Anthony's farm, and when he saw
a rattler he lost no time in getting
1t out of the way. The snake had
thirteen rattles and button.

Calals-Paris connections are excellent
and find himself forced to spend
ZONE hours in the city, the first thing
lie remarks is that there seems to be
u Dozen or more women to every man
upon the streets. While, of course,
the relative disproportion is nowhere
near so great, still girls and women
DO largely outnumber the men, as
the lace industry is continually draw
ing them from the surrounding coun-
try to its factories. Wages in this in
dustry are very low, and many of its
operations can be performed as well
by young girls as by men.
The loiterer next notices lace signs
everywhere, upon commission houses
and factories. Generally, these signs
appear in three languages, French,
German and English. In spring and
autumn he will meet a continual
stream of his countrymen, buyers for
the big importing houses.
Factories Are Worth Seeing.
Of his own free will, however, the
traveller seldom stays. He is always
willing to leave Calais for most any.

caslon for enduring the monotonous
twentieth century atmosphere when
one is on pleasure trip. There are,
nevertheless, many things worth see-
Ing in the fiat, dingy, strictly practical
port city. Visits to the great lace fac
tories are well worth while, and
usually give one a new reverence for
the possibilities OF insensible machin-
cry. To see the most intricate pat

This done by massive, complicated
piece of machinery, at one end de-

perfection of mans inventive genius.
And then, this piece of machinery OPP
crates automatically, much like the

Calais shares with Nottingham,
England, the honors for the manufac-
ture of machine-woven laces. The
other two leading lace towns make
what are known as the embroidered
and burnt OUT laces, on entirely diff
ferent machines. Calais smuggled its
industry from England, but 1t has add
ed to the original English processes
and machinery enough to be in posi-
ton to claim perfection of its own.
Aside from, and beyond, it's momen-

liveliest interest for the person wide

Selection of the vegetables for din
ner has much to do with the success
of meal Those which resemble each
other should be avoided, as squash
sweet potatoes and parsnips, and With
these pumpkin pie should be omitted;
also, more than one vegetable requir

rather than those that bear a near re-

ruined by the war is ST. Gall,
Il in neutral Switzerland. 1t has
seen its trade of centuries
growth swept away by a struggle in
which its people have no interest. st.
Gall is town of one industry and
that for the export trade, says the
National Geographic society. 1t Ia u
world-famous center for the manufac-
ture Of machine-embroidere white
goods, and it's wares have found sale
over the whole earth. 1t has done an
annual trade in these articles with
America of between six and seven
million dollars year. II also had
heavy business with the countries of
Europe and South America and those
Of the Orient. Since the outbreak OF
the war its export routes have been
closed, while some of its largest GUS
toners have been forced by their war
expenditures to stop all purchase OF

The town has grown wealthy
through the centuries and 1t has con-

Grew Around Monks Cell.
81. Gall perches high up on a noun
taik shoulder, considerably back from
the Lake of Constance. 1t grew up
around the mountain cell of learned
Irish monk, ST. Gallen, who, taken
sick here In the seventh century
while on pilgrimage to Rome, built
him cell 1000 feet up the mountain
side, and, upon his recovery, vowed
to devote his life to the conversion of
the mountain tribes. Around his cell
there has grown up city of more
than thirty thousand, which bears his
name, and which is known to the dry
goods buyers of all countries.
An abbey was built, and its Irish
monks, distinguished throughout Eu-
rope for their devotion to learning,
here made a safe retreat for their
studies. Centuries before the Renais-
sance the monks of ST. Gallen studied
both Greek and Latin, and painstak-
ingly copied many of the ancient
texts. These manuscripts are still
preserved in the library of St. Gall,
and they form priceless nucleus Of
it's collections.

been attracted to this energetic little
manufacturing city. Some Of the
