BERLIN, Jan. 2. - Berlin's
peace hopes are dispersed. Now
it is war to the last drop of human

Summed up that is the Berlin press

Dangers of Watered Coffee

Watered stock, watered milk, and ernment 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 a piece of dishon- esty practiced by interruptions coffee roasters. They turn the hose on the coffee while 1t is being roasted, so that it won't lose weight, as coffee will, when properly roasted. In roast ing, coffee should lose about 169o of Its weight. If it is watered it loses but 49o. 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. 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.

The Lost Doa.

Among war stories sent from the battle front in France to a London newspaper is this one: We could do nothing. We were trapped" said the brigadier, who was taken with his whole staff The brigadier wept a little. He confessed to the humiliation of be- ing captured with such little loss among his men, We thought the Vimy ridge impregnable,' he said. But his greatest grief was not for the de- feat, or for the capture or sufferings of his men. My little dogw he said again and again. Has anyone seen my little dog? It has been with me ever since the beginning of the war" He had lost his little dog when he had come out of his dugout and held up his hands, and then came down with his mob of men.

A suit was filed in Chancery Court by Attorneys Murphy and Stallcup for Gregory and Thompson. Little Rock, that promises to develop into the mosr important litigation in the Hot Springs courts in years. There are 120 de- fendants in the suit, which seeks to dissolve ownership in what is known as the Fairdale and Forrest Hill addi- tions, which comprise more than 1000 acres.
 Several years ago the Home Build CTS Association was organized and bought the property. It is alleged the association paid part of the purchase price, the owners retaining lien on the property It is further alleged the Home Builders Company divided the property into lots which were sold, but Thompson and Gregory contend the original purchase has not been had. and they seek foreclosure. It is said that more than $6,000 interest re- mains unpaid, besides part of the orig inal purchase price.

 MONTHS OLD BABY
Mrs. Hawkins Was So Weak Couldn't Move in Her Bed
 Without Help.
HAD SUFFERED TORTURE
We'll and Strong Again After Taking Tanlac and Weighs More Than She Has in Over Eighteen
 Years.

'I was down in bed and couldn't raise my head or move without help and now I'm able to do all my house. work, even to my cooking and garden work and I weigh more than I have in eighteen years and have been taking Tanlac only about four weeks" said Mrs. Doliie Hawkins, 1906 Second ave nue, South, Birmingham, Ala, recent ly.
 For years" continued Mrs. Haw- kins, q suffered with rheumatism and acute indigestion. The rheumatism got me down in bed and had me bound so hard and fast somebody had to move me about and the pain was ter rible. I couldn't lift my six-months-old baby, and had to hire someone to wait on me and do my work. 1 was so nervous the least little thing dropping on the floor would startle me and my heart would almost stop beating. l couldn't eat any solid food at all and was in such rundown condition my baby fell off until it was just little skeleton and fretted and cried all the time. No kind of medicine did me any good and I was getting worse all the time.
 If ever medicine did wonders, Tanlac did it for me and my little ba- by. I felt better in just few days after I began taking it. I have taken three bottles and I am not nervous in the least now and my sleep is fine and rests me The awful rheumatic pains and misery is all gone. I can eat any thing I want and my food not only gives me nourishment but my baby is as fat as little pig and sits for hours at a time on a pallet and plays with out a whimper. Tanlac has made we'll woman of me and a fat, healthy baby out of my little Sickly one, and I'm. just so thankful for what Tanlae has done for us I want everybody to know about this great medicine"
