A Much Travelled Person.

A young man, who has been a gun ner's mate for number of years, but is now trying to get others to enlist in the navy, tells of his conversation with a young fellow he found digging a ditch He asked the boy whether he had ever thought of joining the ranks of those who will aid their country through the navy, and was assured quite promptly that he had not.
 The navy man proceeded then to point out it's wonderful advantages, enlarging somewhat on opportunities for travel The boy paused in his dig ging long enough to say proudly: i've travelled"
 The navy man was somewhat sur prised. Have you seen London?" he asked.
 Nope"
 Have you seen Paris, or Cuba, or South America?"
 Nope"
 "Well, where have you been? was the final question.
 "We went to Troy, N. r., once," was the satisfied reply. - Indianapolis News.

Dangers of Watered Coffee

Watered stock, watered milk, and watered coffee-the United States Gov, ernment is carrying on crusade to eliminate all three.
 Everyone knows about watered stock. Everyone has seen blue milk, " the combined efforts of a 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 q piece of dishon- estv. practfced by interruptions coffee roasters. They turn the hose on the coffee while it is being roasted, so that it won't lose weight, as coffee will, when properly roasted. In roast ing. coffee should lose about 1695 of Its W tIsltls IL It tN NatI4tu IL AO0N9 but 4qs. 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
 4 lot of watered coffee is being sold no doubt right in this town. It is more often met with in the lower priced grades of bulk coffee.
 AS coffee is such an important bev- craze, pure food authorities are ad- vising 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 a reputable coffee roaster= as Arbuckle Brothers of New York-Adv.
