WHERE'S THE COFFEE

Dealers Explain Why Breakfast Cup
Has That Bitter Taste
Nowadays

Coffee like mother used t" make" is
missing at many breakfast tables throughout
Philadelphia. because, as many who COM
plain say. Its bitter
The reason is not that there is no good
coffee on the market. 1t is because many
people decline to pay the increased prices
asked for good coffee now. Instead. they
pay Just about what they paid before the
war for O coffee not good as that which
OLE prices used to buy.
The demand for coffee has increased fifty
per cent in the past three years, the dealers
say And this despite the fact that prices
of coffee have increased in price with every
thing else.
Green coffee of the best grades is now
being sold to the coffee roasters at thirty
cents pound. Before the war it cost the
coffee roasters from twenty four and one
half to twenty five cents. The poorer grades
of green coffee are selling at twenty three
and one half cents pound a t present, while
before the war they sold at about ten cents.
Therefore, the importers and coffee roasters
point out the best coffee has increased in
price only five or five and one half cents,
while the poorer grades have increased thir-
teen and onsh half cents pound.
The difficulty of importing coffee. coupled
with increased cost of transportation, and
the greatly increased demand from the con-
sumers, is held responsible for the increase
in cost Competition in business. it is
pointed out. has in some cases put the poorer
grades of coffee before the people.
The best coffee is selling in Philadelphia
at retail for from AZ to 45 cents a pound.
The poorer grades are bringing 35 cents.
A representative of one firm of importers
said today that the poorer grades are harder
TO get than the best coffee. The demand for
the cheaper coffee is greater than the demand
for. the best grades. he said. His state
ment was indorsed by several retailers. He
said that there is an abundance of the best

Two dealers spoke of unsettled condi

the prices asked for coffee could be con
sidered almost normal considering trade
conditions in general.

United States produces 900 million pounds of

half a million dollars worth of cob pipes from
five towns in Missouri alone.
The fragrant weed had been known all through
history. People Of Tibet smoked It $500 years
ago. They called it thama-kha-whic Is moth

DR.. Wenck has proven that tobacco smoke kills

GOING-GONE E
No. 5

It is a triumph, Joanie dearest, when you can (under some difficulties) rouse a man to interest-and then withdraw behind a little veil of snow.
 That is what I did yesterday to Capt. Wallis.
 Oh, girl I can see your darling prim lips draw down into a straight line, your soft eyes grow hard and your 1 lovely brow corrugate disapprovingly as you read. But, friend of my heart, take off the brakes for once and try to let yourself go. Understand me. i For I am only a typical girl. Loving | is woman's first nature. We all go about with our little divining rods, saying, 'Is this the man for me? Is this the one? Oh, where is he?" And when ever man attracts us in one of the three great ways, personally, men, tally, spiritually, we rush to learn whether or not he responds For it is
 woman, and not man, whose chief business is Love and the perpetuation of Life.
 Capt. Wallis committed the crime of | failing to follow up at the psychologi- cal moment his advantage! He per- mitted himself the luxury of rest. He found me from the very start only too
 willing to BE A REST to him. He was fresh home from the. war. I too,
 in my way, was a warrior I had
 struggled with the world for five, hard,
 weary years, Joan. And without the
 pomp and glory and acclaim of war.
 So that I understood him. And gave
 him what he most needed-yet with
 the coating of feminine lure. I offered
 him rest The others challenged him
 to further conquest.
 He doesn't know women well. Else
 he would know when NOT to take things for granted. A man must ever keep up at least the appearance o1 pursuit.
 I wrote you how we returned from the tramp to Sunset Point and he dashed and puzzled at my sudden cool ness, determined to leave Lively Beach , In saving goodbye he used the word , dear" I suppose there never was a woman since Grandmother Eve who i had not thrilled to the core of hel , heart the first time a man used that , little word.

TRIED TO DETROy
 LIQUOR EVIDENCE
 SO BOND |S RAISED

If William Seda. otherwise Sadey, is convicted of transporting intoxlcat- ing Iiouor within this state his con- viction will be obtained on the recol- lection of Constable Haze Burcn, Deputy Sheriff John Ivy and other attaches of the sheriff's office of what the stuff smelled like. for the stuff itself will not be present. That eVl- dence, which in bootlegging cases has been regarded as essential, was de- stroyed, though Deputy Sheriff Ivy scooped up a few spoonfuls of 1t, mixed with the dirt in which 1t was running to waste.
 Constable Burch had been informed that Seda was disposing of liquor made of grape juice, sugar and yeast, Tn a rather wholesale way. and was on the lookout for him on Tuesday night as he was leaving his place of business. The constable was in concealment, but Seda passed near him, recognized him and then stopped. He was carrying a | five gallon milk can. The officer i asked him what was in the can and Seda replied that it was empty. On investigation the officer found a bottle and, taking out the cork, got strong whiff of what he believed to be an alcoholic content of something more
 than PTS per cent.
 Seda protested against a1is arrest but at last he was taken to jail. Justice
 Wheeler, who was called up, fixed his
 bond at $500. Seda asked to go to the telephone to secure friends to come
 and fix up the bond. Meanwhile the
 bottle of evidence" was on the desk Or the return of Seda he seized the 1 bottle before he could be prevented and smashed it against the wall. The
