benefit Of their experience. Give
him a chance to call you the
greatest coffee maker in the
world. When you see how en-
thusiastic he is over the flavor of

has solved the problem of over a
million women - why it is by
far the most popular coffee in
America todayl

II the Democratic leader who ad-
vocates putting dyes on the free list
to encourage the industry were a sur
geon his method of setting a broken
limb would be to amputate the pa
tents leg at the neck.
Optimism Is what makes the Demo-
cratic party, which has fooled some
Of the people only three times In fifty
years, and has never yet fooled all
Of the people some of the time, think
that it can now fool all of the people
all Of the time.
President Wilson hasn't been able
to figure out yet whether he is going
to be on the stump or up one.
