Coffee Questions

How do you know if your coffee is
good ?"-of course you will answer,
by the taste" but if someone asks
you how you know. when you buy
the coffee, which kind will make
good coffee, you would perhaps be at
loss TO answer, for it takes an eX-
pert to determine just what strength,
what flavor and what quantity each
pound of coffee will yield. The Grand
Union Tea Company, EOS North Sec
ond street. employs a number of
trained coffee experts to test every
bit of coffee that they sell, and no
coffee, or indeed any other product
is offered at this store which does
not measure up to the highest stand
ard of quality and excellence.

Harry. "She'd snap you up in min ute"
 "Shut upI" commanded Jim, in the tones of one who is creditor of the man he addresses to the extent of sev- eral thousands.
 Harry shut up, and Jim became un- easy. He had been thinking that he could not do better than ask Ethel until Harry spoke; and now he was thinking of Nora again.
 Harry's visit came to an end, as every infliction must. Harry had tried to touch his brother for a final thou sand, and had been turned down.
 9TH get even with you for that" he grinned.
 And he did-on the evening before his departure. Both the brothers sat at a reception, Jim constrained and shy, Harry the life of the evening. Just as the brothers were getting ready to go home Harry came out of the conservatory, where he had been | sitting a long time with Ethel.
 T congratulate you, old man," he Said to his brother.
 Come home and don't make a fool of yourself" said Jim. You've been out there with Miss Fisher for half an hour.'
 "Jim," said Harry, "rve asked her to marry you"
 "What?" yelled Jim, quite forgetting where he was. "A regular case of Miles Standish over again, Jim. I told her you were languishing with love for her, and hadn't the grit to ask her to be your wife. She's accepted you, my boy" "You blithering asst" said Jim.
 "You'H make a splendid pair," said Harry. q meant to pretend to be you and propose in your name, but guess we don't look enough alike for that. Good luck, old boy" +-
 Jms hand fell on Harry's collar. 'Is that straight, Harry?" his brother de handed.
 Absolute truth.''
 "Pll never loan you another cent And I'll go and tell her at once that you were playing the fool"
 Harry grinned as he twisted himself out of his brothers grasp. You ought to have lent me that thOusand," he said. "Go and tell her by all means See, here she comes!'
 They were little away from the other guests, hidden from their view by a bank of flowers. Jim, standing in a daze, saw Ethel Fisher approach him, with "a happy. face. She's came | quickly up to him and-and kissed him.

How to Become a Classic Dancer

"How may I become a classic dancer?" wrote a young woman to a Columbus newspaper. The paper gave the following answer:
 "Go home and cultivate dislike for bathing dishes refuse to make the beds, sweep or dust, because such com mon things will interfere with your lofty ideals. After you have sufficient ly composed your mind, remove your clothing, put on a nightgown, provid- ing you have a very thin one. Let your hair trail down your back, arIn yourself with a little tiL whistle, which you must be sure and call a lute, and then seek the front yard. Jump high and wide, much as if you had inadvertently stepped into bum- ble bees nest. People will come to look at you and most of them will re- mark in a low and vulgar way that you are either playhouse or nutty. But they will not know. They are just the common people. And if you jump high enough and get your picture in the papers you will have succeeded"

PROUD OF THEIR MODEL SON
Of Course He Was Young, but Just Then Ills Habits Were Abso-
 Iutely IrreproachabIe.

"Ah, well, wife," said John Rumbles, the honest farmer, though our corn was stricken with quinsy this year, and our pigs all got the ear disease, and our cabbages were all hollow, and our wheat had appendicitis, we have the consolation of knowing that we have a model son. Just think, Roland has never smoked cigarette in his whole life"
 "Nor anything else. for that mat ter," replied Susan, his honest wife. And he would no more think of talk ing strong drink than he would of fly ing"
 "True," asserted Honest John, with sickly smile. "Ahd the regular hours he keeps!"
 "Yes," put in Honest Susan, eagerly. "To bed right after supper every night regular as clockwork."
 And for while John smoked in con- templative silence, while Susan knit ted away in her easy chair.
 "But of course, there's this," said John at length. "We can't tell how he'll be later on. We must remember he's only six months old"
 "Ah, John, we mustn't borrow trou- ble. We have enough already, good ness knows," snickered Susan.-De- troit Free Press.

A BrotherlU Proposal
 S&1
By GORGE MUNSON

Copyright 1916. by W. G. Chapman)
 Ethel Fisher and Nora Doyle were the two prettiest girls in Hopetown, and Jim Scanlon was the richest young bachelor. From this triangle a huge variety of situations can be construct ed.
 The situation was complicated by the fact that Jim was girl-Shy. Not a woman-hater; afraid, little, and fear full of making the irrevocable choice before he could make up his mind. Jim had paid attention to both Nora and Ethel. Nora Doyle was a shy, auffy-haired little thing, with heart of gold. Ethel was a dashing brunette. When Jim was with one he liked her preferred the other.
 "Why don't you get married, Jim?' asked his scapegrace brother, Harry, who had run down into the country for a few days, and incidentally touched" his brother for loan. You ought to be married for the credit of the family"
 'I guess the family credit can take care of itself," answered Jim hufily, for Harry had asked him the question that had been bothering him a good deal of late.
 Harry was entirely opposite to Jim as regards character. The girls adored Harry. Scapegrace though he was, he was a gentleman; they knew they could trust him to the limit.
 "It's a shame you don't ask Ethel Fisher to become your wife, Jim," said

Home SEEKERS TO-BE
IN AMER|CUS THURSDAY
PARTY OF TWELVE TOURING THE
STATE IN Automobiles IN
SEARCH OF HOMES WILL VISIT
THIS COUNTY.

There's chance that Americus and
Sumter county will get some new citi-
zens this week
A number of former residents of At
lnata, who are touring the state in
automobiles in search of desirable
places to locate, will be in Americus
on Thursday. There are about twelve
in the party. These people have sold
their homes in Atlanta for cash and
have the money with which to invest in
south Georgia counties.
Mr.. F. L. Allison, we'll nowkn real
estate dealer, is interested in their
coming, but thinks that the advantage
to be gained by the city and county
should overshadow any possibility of
individual gain and it is his idea that
the Chamber Of Commerce should ar
range welcome to the visitors. This
probably will be done
