One mistake many women make
in buying coffee

coffee which has the same fine taste and strength
every morningl It can be done. You can do it if,
when you buy coffee, you are careful not to make
the mistakes so many women make. Read the ex-
periences below-you yourself have undoubtedly had
one or both of them.

The PUBLIC FORUM
TO FORUM CONTRIBUTORS
Every day enough letters come in to
The Day Book to more than fill The
Public Forum columns. We are
forced, therefore, to sidetrack some
of the letters. In doing this The
Forum editor makes an attempt to be
as fair to all concerned as possible.
For instance, we may get two or
three letters from one writer in one
week. And one a piece from a great
many other writers. In case of this
kind some of the several from one
person may be left out that others
may get in; the idea being to give
everybody a chance. We figure that
variety is a good thing, both in topics
and writers.
This will probably explain why
some letters that readers have sent
in have not been used. Anybody who
has a kick coming against us, don't
be backward in placing it. Drop in
and talk to The Forum editor or write
him a note.
And in writing to The Public FO-
rum, keep your article condensed as
much as possible and write in as
plain hand as possible. We believe
it is best not to deal in personalities
too much, and, instead, to make let
tiers of general interest to all those
who may read The Public Forum.
Also we think that it makes a letter
much stronger when the writer is
willing that his or her own name be
used, and when possible the address,
too. All letters, however, must have
the writer's name and address at
tached, whether for use or not.
Thank yOu.-Forum Editor.
