HIDDEN lMPURITY

'n 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 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 a fund of knowledge which
places him far in the leadership of
coffee connoisseurs, both here and
abroad.
Denison's Coffees are selected by F.
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
is your safeguard against impurity.

Breaks legislative Record.

Madison.-When the Wisconsin
legislature came to close on August
Oath, the 224th day of legislative
record was passed, exceeding all rec
ords of Wisconsin lawmaking bodies.
Two years ago the session was 213
days long. One peculiar result of
the long session was the fact that
messengers, who drew $3.50 per day,
each received $50 more salary than a
member of the legislature. Their to-
tai incomes for the session will have
been $3.50, while the members get
only $500 for the session.

DESERT AUTO is NO CAMEL
These Men Forget to Provide Water
for Their Desert Ride and
One Dies.

Failure to thing about evaporation
in an automobile radiator brought
death to one man and frightful tor
lures to two others, who arrived in
Los Angeles from the desert and told
of their sufferings. The trio-James
S. Roche and John H. Welsh, attor-
neys, and James G. Clarke, a real es-
tate dealer-left here Sunday in an
automobile for Ell Centre, in the I'M
perial valley.
Monday morning the car stopped in
the sand. The radiator was empty and
they had no water. Roche and Welsh
started after mirage which they be-
lieved was the Salton sea. Clarke
waited a day, and then, believing
them dead, made his way to Mineral
Springs, where he was resuscitated
after falling himself in faint and or
ganized a rescue party. They found
Roche unconscious and Welsh dead.
Roche said they drank lubricating oil.

Family DAYS,

Family occasions ought to be cele-
brated frequently, even if the celebra-
ton is the simplest form of little fes-
tival. Bringing the family together
helps to promote affection. Whatever
the event, birthday or wedding ami
versary or a welcome home from a
journey, it ought to mean something
to every member of the family, and
can be made an occasion that will
remain bright in memory when the
family circle is broken.
