thousands of brands of coffee in the mar
ket, but they most all come from prac-

American coffee-high-grown, which, ex-
perts and doctors agree, is free from the
so-called coffee ills. And Folger's is packed

There is only one thing to fear in coffee.

HOOVER NAMES
WIN. Lewis, JR.
u. S. ATTORNEY

WASHINGTON, d. c. CHS -
William H. Lewis, Jr., son of Attor-
ney William H. Lewis of Boston, for
mer Harvard gridiron star, republ-
can leader, and himself former As
sistant Attorney General of the u.
S, was appointed assistant L. S. Dis
trict Attorney for the Southern dis
trict of New York state this week.
The latest helated recognition of
Negro republicans by President Hoo
Yer is reported to have come as a
result of the Democratic showing
made in the elections of New York
last week, when all Harlem went
Democratic, and large portion of
the colored voters throughout the
state turned up in support of the
Democratic candidates.
Young Lewis is % years old. and
is a graduate of Phillips Exeter
academy, Harvard university and
Boston university Law school. He il
a member of his fathers law firm in
Boston, and has taken an active part
in politics.
The appointment of Lewis fulfills
part of the prediction that the Hoo
yer administration had under con-
temptation the belated recognition
of Negro republicans in several sec
tions of the country in an effort
to offset the aversion to President
Hoover for his failure to consider
them in his list of appointments.
