TAMMANY is 1928 YEARS OLD
Famous Political Organization of New
York Was Founded by William
Mooney, an Upholsterer.

Tammany is 12S years old. On May
II, 1879, William Mooney, an uphol-
sterer, who previously had been active
as one of the Sons of Liberty, founded
in New York what was intended to be
patriotic and social organization, the
secret society of st. Tammany, or Co
lumbar order, which in 1905 was regu-
larly incorporated as a fraternal aid
society.
1t was divided into 13 tribes, each of
ficers became known as the grand sa-
chem, the sachem, the sycamore, or
master of ceremonies and the wis
kinski, or doorkeeper.
In 1911 the society built it's first hall,
and In 1867 moved to Tammany hall,
in Fourteenth street, where it has been
ever since. Early in its history Tam
many began to take an active part in
politics. Aaron Burr is supposed to
have been it's tutor in the ways of poll
tics, and in 1900 the society took part
in it's first campaign. being instumen-
tai in carrying New York for Thomas
Jefferson.
The name Tammany is adapted from
that of an Indian chief, Tamanend, of
the Delaware tribe, who was famous
for his virtue and wisdom. He died in
1740 and was buried in New Britain
township, Bucks county, Pennsylvania.
Tammany was one of the earliest So
cial organizations in America. The
members in the early days were accus-
toned to dress in Indian costume.

LIFT YOUR cORNS

Let folks step on your feet hereafter
wear shoes a size smaller if you like,
for corns will never again send electric
sparks of pain through you, according
to this Cincinnati authority.
He says that a few drops of a drug
called freezone, applied directly upon
a tender, aching corn, instantly re-
lieves soreness, and soon the entire
corn, root and all, lifts right out.
This drug dries at once and simply
shrivels up the corn or callus without
even irritating the surrounding skin.
A small bottle of freezone obtained
at any drug store will cost very little
but will positively remove every hard
or soft corn or callus from ones feet.
If your druggist hasn't stocked this
new drug yet. tell him to get small
bottle Of freezone for you from his

Dangers Of Watered Coffee

Watered stock, watered milk, and
watered coffee-the United States Gov.
eminent is carrying on a crusade to
eliminate all three.
Everyone knows about watered
stock. Everyone has seen blue milk"
the combined efforts of COW and the
old pump. But not everyone is on his
guard against "watered coffee"
That the United States Government
realizes the danger of watered coffee
is shown by the specifications for the
United States Army supplies. These
specifications say plainly:
Coffee: roasts must be dry
roasts, no water being permitted
before, during or after the process
of roasting"
Water In coffee is piece of dishon-
esty practiced by INSCRIPTIONS coffee
roasters. They turn the hose on the
coffee while 1t is being roasted, so
that 1t won't lose weight, as coffee
will, when properly roasted, In roast

but 40. The difference, of course, is
water, for which you pay coffee value.
This is adulteration and nothing
more. The water-logged coffee is rank
and unhealthy. OF course, it is not
honest to charge for coffee, and sell
coffee beans soaked in water.
A lot of watered coffee is being sold
no doubt right in this town. 1t is more
often met with in the lower priced
grades of bulk coffee.
AS coffee is such an important bev-
erage, pure food authorities are adj
vlsing housewives TO use the greatest
care in selecting their coffee. The pure
food experts say that the best way to
avoid watered coffee is to buy some
reliable packaged brand, roasted by
reputable coffee rooster as Arbuckle
