cUSTARD DESSERTS WILL BAKE BETTER
 IN SMALL DISHES
Coffee is Also Better When Roasted in Small Lots =
 Hills Bros Method

The smaller the dish, the more evenly and quickly the oven heat can penetrate to the center of the custard. Such results cannot be counted upon when large baking dishes are used.
 Applying this principle to roast ing their fine blend of coffee, Hills Bros. found the way to develop uni form flavor in every ounce. A con- stant stream of green coffee is introduced into the roaster in auto- matically measured lots of about three pounds, and passes through in a steady flow, roasting a little at time. There is accurate con- trol of both the flow of coffee and the temperature.
 This process, patented by Hills Bros.-Controlled Roasting-de- velops a delicious uniform flavor no other coffee has. The ordinary method in bulk-is vir- tually lacking in control.
 Grocers everywhere sell Hills Bros. Coffee in the vacuum can that keeps it ever-fresh. Air, which destroys the flavor of coffee, is re- moved from this can and kept out. Coffee packed in ordinary cans, even if air-tight, does not stay fresh. Ask for Hills Bros. Coffee by name and look for the Arab the trade-mark-on the can.

WAVES LIFE ENSURED,

Surprise me?" replied Dr. Stud ley, and he laughed. I'll absolute ly guarantee you against that, my dear Sir, if you are nervous. And so, I'm perfectly certain, will Dr. Charters and Dr MacAdoo. I'd like to be sure that I'd live to reach the age that ycu will
 Thank you, Doctor You reas- sure me completely Do you know, I'd actually got into my head that I might be found dead here, one morning Silly of me wasn't it2' and John Wave smiled pleasantly at MT James and Dr Charters. T feel perfectly certain now, that shan't die in my sleep or be taken suddenly i'll and die hero" and MT. Wave lit another cigarette.
 That's all, studley, thanks, said Dr. Charters, and winked heavily to his colleague, as one sane man who conveys to another acknowledgement of their mutual appreciation of a difficult situa- ton.
 Decidedly puzzled, Dr.. Studlay retired.
 NO, Simon" observed John Wave as the outer door was shut T don't think I shall be found dead and 1 don't think I shall dis appear-to the bewilderment oi my solicitor and banker, not to mention Sir Bernard Matthieson- and I don't fancy you'll give me up to justice"
 Look here, my clever friend, said the Doctor, his voice quiet and menacing, "supposing that, on the one hand, your health remains good here and, on the other hand the police don't tear you from us exactly how long do you propose to give us the pleasure of youl company"

EARTH HIT
 BY METE0RS

IOWA CITY, April 6. = Eight hundred million meteors day striking earth's atmosphere is the latest estimate.
 It is given in a report to the American Association for the Ad- vancement of Science by Porf Charles c. Wylie of the University of Iowa.
 These include the meteors too small to be observed without tele- scopes. The naked eyev meteors Prof. Wylie estimates at about 24,C00,000 daily, very close to the figure given by Sir Isaac Newton.
 About 300 meteors a year get through the atmosphere and ac- tually hit tne United States, &C., cording to Wylie's estimates, based on figures that probably one meteor a year strikes for each 10000 square miles. Few are seen, because they are mostly small.

"Too risky" was the curt reply. Simply because this man Wave knows as much about it as we do, and hasn't shown his hand He goes to you with his hints, and shows that he knows the price, but he hasn't come to me with any talk of rakeoff for himself. I don't like it, I tell you. He's got me guessing, and I'm worried" and again the Doctor sat in deep ard anxious thought.
 Anyway" he continued, this Lauderdell business is eff, and the girls going to get better"
 And you're going to let 10000 pounds slip?"
 q am,' replied the Doctor with decision.
 And you're going to lose. that half-share we joked about" he added. Nothing whatever is going to happen to Marjorie Lauaereell

 Like most other people, Dr. Mac Adoo was curiously uncomfortable when alone with MT. James. Something troubling you, Jim my?" he inquired nervously, break ing the sour silence. Huh! Therell be something troubling the lot of us before tlong-and that's the police, unless ! the Old Man watches out. Why in blazes can't he tell this Wave guy
 where he gets off? Why doesn't he either do him in or kick him out?'
 Well, he's given us plenty of
 good reasons for doing neither

 not like him to take any guys
 bluff. He's got me guessing.
 Seems to me the Boss is weak

 deftly he rolled cigarette with
 his left hand, while his right hand
 remained behind his back, a fav-
 orite attitude with MT. James-and
 one which always troubled Dr
 MacAdoo, whose left hand liked tc
 know what MT. James's right hand
 was doing.
 "I1l say the Boss is weakening
 Jimmy" he agreed. Don't yol
