new YORK LETS
$4,000 FAMILIES GO
WITHOUT FOOD

New York-FP- Tammany Hall
delivered a blow against the unem-
ployed in New York City April
10 which will cause untold suffer
ing among $4,000 families, accord
ing to observers.
For several weeks $4,000 jobless
heads of families have been en-
ployed by the Prosser committee
paid SIS for three days a week.
Their pay came from a fund of
$S,000,000 raised by donations last
fall. The fund is exhausted and 900
charity agencies of the city had
asked the city board of estimate
to appropriate $1O,OO0,OO0 TO con-
tinue hiring these men. Socialists
had demanded that rs million dol
lars be appropriated. The Prosser
committee has been spending ST.
C0O000 a month, hiring a third of
the jobless heads of families, so
10 million dollars would help little,
they pointed out.
Mayor Walker, already under
charges for graft and incompe-
tence rushed thru an appropriation
of 100000 instead of the $780,
100000 deemed the smallest pos
sible fund. Part of this $2,000,-
600 will go for materials, to be
bought from Tammany supply men
and no one of the jobless hungry
family heads can be put to work
until the entire civil service list
of Tammany hangers-on has beer
hired. The result is that the 24,0O(
head of families must see theil
, families go hungry. The Presses

 ROASTING PROCESS CONTROLS FLAVOR OF COFFEE
No Other Roasting Process Can Develop Such Uniform
 Goodness

Coffee drinking has become joy forever to the millions who daily fill their cups with Hills Bros. Coffee. Of all coffees sold there are none that can duplicate it's delicious. deep-favored goodness.
 This matchless flavor is due to the accuracy of every process from the blending to the packing of the fragrant coffee.
 Of special importance is the con- trol of the roasting process. Instead of roasting coffee in bulk-the or dinary way-only few pounds at time pass through the roasters in d continuous stream. The flow of coffee, speed of operation and the heat are accurately controlled. Every berry is roasted evenly by this process-Controlled Roasting invented and patented by Hills Bros. Naturally, the resulting flavor is uniformly delicious, something that is rarely the case in bulk roasted coffee.
 As fast as Hills Bros. Coffee is roasted and ground, it is packed in vacuum. By this process, air, which destroys the flavor of coffee, is taken from the can and kept out. Ordi- nary cans, even if air-tight, do not keep coffee fresh. Ask for Hills Bros. Coffee by name and look for the Arab-the trademark k-on the can. Sold by grocers everywhere.
