London, Feb. 7-Americ<n marines at Vladivostok intervened when Japanese soldiers attempted to pre- vent revolutionary troops from cap turing General Rozanoff, Russian cap ernor-general, when the city was taken by the Reds, according to a Vladivostok dispatch to the Mail.

 Describing the capture of the city, the correspondent says the first revo- l1tfondsts entered by stealth, seized the street railroad and used the cars to carry them up the main street to the house occupied by General Rozanof. When they tried to surround the building, the Japanese blocked the way, but the officer of an Am merican marine detachment announced he would not permit it. The Japanese then withdrew and all of the forces observed a neutral attitude suIbse- quently.

Tokio, Feb. 3-Russian officers
 who have been serving at V1adfvostok
 under the command of General Ro-
 zanoff, Governor General of the Rus
 sian maritime province, have arriv-
 ed, with their families, in Tsuruga
 harbor on the southern coast of Ja-
 pan. They were on board two Rus-
 sian warships which entered port
 early today, and their arrival, which
 was unhera1ded, appears to indicate
 an exodus of Russians from the cas- tern part of Siberia
 Reports received late last week re- hected a serious state of affairs ir Vladivostok, and it appeared the Bol- sheviki had assumed control of the country up to within a short distance of the city. Nfkolsk, 40 miles north was in the hands of the Reds at that time, and American forces along tho railroad between that place and Vladivostok reported encounterins units of the Soviet army.

This week, while grocers Of the
entire United States are devoting
themselves to special displays of Cof-
fee, it is highly desirable that the
readers Of this paper consider few
facts in regard to this most popular of
all beverages.
This country drinks nearly one-half
of all the Coffee grown in the world.
And the American appetite for Coffee
is constantly growing.
In the last six months of 1919 we
Americans drank three billion more
cups of coffee than we drank in the
same period Of 1918.
This liking for coffee by Americans
is easily understood.
America is an active, virile nation.

AS nation we require food that sus-
tains body and brain at high efficiency.
Coffee is pleasing to the palate, but
it is also refreshing and invigorating.
1t supplies strength and staying
power. II stimulates the brain and re-
lieves fatigue Of mind and muscle. 1t
helps men and women to endure ex-
posture and withstand hard work.
Let Coffee be your everyday drink.
Drink Coffee because it is nourishing.
Drink it because it lightens fatigue,
sustains energy and aids digestion.
Drink Coffee because it is satisfying
and healthful.
Make Coffee Week the occasion for
an intimate Coffee-chat with your
grocer. He will see that you are suited
absolutely on Coffee.

the newspapers that never MENTION

There's a picture OF her win u

down about her smiling race. Ihere

so gay and full Of laughter only
few days ago was found dead In

She sang for the guests OF the
hotel before she went upstairs TO

II she knew that her life was in
dreadful and disgraceful danger.
It's a pitIful. foolish. cruel little
story-like so many other piutui,
foolish, cruel stories. They begin
differently, some OF them In tene-
ment houses in crowded city streets.
some in swestshops or factories.
some In downtown offices with the
rich boss" and some. but these
are fewer, in comfortable, loving
homes. But they all end the same
way or almost the same.
Sometimes it's suicide. Just a
poor, dripping body, drawn up out
OF the water and hurried to the
pauper's f1eld.
Sometimes it's murder. with a
.cowardly. selfish man, tired OF his
victim, skulking away in the dark
and leaving the pretty face he pre-
tended to love so dearly cold and
set in death.
Sometimes 1t is a case like this
and ends so. The poor, foolish girl
throws her life away to suit the
within OF some careless man or to
follow some vagrant impulse OF her
own. And then, disgrace is on the
way and she makes the last des-
perate attempt to escape the con-
sequences OF her own mistake. So
they find her somewhere-dead in
agony and dishonor.
Poor. frightened. guilty. desperate
creature. How can anyone feel any
thing but pity for such as she?

came from a little country town,
where everyone knew her and where
none OF the girls OF her own age
were allowed to play with her
when she was little. When she
