coffee as an antisoporific during their
long religious vigils. a practice
frowned upon by orthodox Mussulmans
who argued that it savored of form
of intoxication. However, the habit
spread. 1t reached Egypt in the six

Evidences OF Dcnyer's un-

coming like an avalanche through the
medium of annual totals and account
ings. The evidences have been here
for many months, manifcsting them
selves through all avenues of trade

Never before in the history of Den

posts aggregate s3l,92i,93 for 1916,
as against S25,jGl ,5G2 in 1915, an in
crease of SG,3G3,377 or approximately
% per cent. The adding OF 1928 new
accounts during the year, many Of
which were deposits of women and
children. gives the figures "A signiii-
cant aspect The total number of ac-
counts is 10000.

parts OF the United States took up
