UNUSUAL GOODNESS OF FAMOUS COFFEE
 INTR|GUES EXPERTS
Find That Delicious Flavor is the Result of Patented
 Roasting Process

Probably no coffee sold today has enjoyed the success of Hills Bros. Coffee. Everywhere it has been introduced it has become a leader.
 This popularity lies in the fact that Hills Bros. Coffee has a deli cious, uniform flavor such as no other coffee has. While the rare blend is partly responsible for this, the patented process, by which it is roasted, is one factor that has made this matchless, uniform fia- vor possible in every pound.
 Instead of roasting in bulk, Hills Bros. roast only a few pounds at a time. By this process-the de- gree of roast, the continuous flow of coffee through the roasters, never vary. Hence the name of this proc ess-C Controlled Roasting. s
 Grocers everywhere sell Hills Bros. Coffee. It is always fresh because it is packed in vacuum cans from which air, which de- stroys the flavor of coffee, is taken out and kept out. Ordinary cans, even if air-tight, do not keep coffee fresh. Ask for Hills Bros. Coffee by name and look for the Arab the trade-mark-on the can.

HOW ONE WOMAN
 LOST 20 LBS. OF FAT
Lost Her Double Chin Lost Her Prominent Hips Lost Her Sluggishness Gained Physical Vigor Gained in Viyaciousness Gained a Shapely Figure

If you're fat-first remove the cause!
 Take one half teaspoonful of KRUSCHEN SALTS in a glass of hot water before breakfast every morning-cut out pastry and fatty meats-go light on potatoes, butter, cream and sugar-in weeks get on the scales and note how many pounds of fat have vanished.
 Notice also that you have gained in energy-your skin is clearer your eyes sparkle with glorious health-you feel younger in body keener in mind. KRUSCHEN will give any fat person a joyous sur prise.
 Get an 85c bottle of KRUSCHEN SALTS at Juneau Drug Go. or But ler-Mauro Drug Go. Qasts weeks). If even this first bottle doesn't convince you this is the easiest, safest and surest way to lose fat-if you don't feel a superb improvement in health--so glor- iously energetic-vigorously alive your money gladly returned.

 'Wcnder if the police acted or that letter they found pinned or Spiders waistcoat? I call that i pretty cool, to sit down alongside the stiff'un you've just bumped off, and write a confession with the full description of yourself the murderer-with name and ad- dress complete"
 "Is that what he did?' inquired Nurse Jones.
 According to the Morning Star account of it. replied the doctor.
 But what was the game in de- scribing some imaginary person and giving bogus name and ad- dress as well?" asked Dr. MacAdoo.
 "Oh, dust your brains, Manoel,'' 2 snapped the doctor. If it put the police looking for a guy in Glas- gow or Bristol, while you're mak- ing tracks for The Monastery, it's something to the good. Especially if they think they recognize the description of the imaginary person in the letter."
 Sure thing-if it was .magin- ary," observed MT James porten- tously.
 The other four eyed him with bewilderment and horror
 You don't mean to suggest he'd give the actual name of some in nocent persona" said Dr. MacAdoo.
 T certainly do. And his proper name and address, too" growled MT. James. He's a real bad guy. Bump him off, I say"
 Consternation settled on the faces of these reformed ladies and gentlemen.
 He's a walking mystery, and there's nobody I'd sooner see bump ed off, if it were a little safer" said the doctor, at length, but we've no call to think he's as bad as that, Jimmy. Nobody could do anything as bad as that. Why, if I thought that of him, I'd let you loose on him right now"
 Does the paper give the whole letter with the description and the name and addreSs?" asked the Matrorf.
 No; the police would see to that, and it seems to be the only paper wise to the fact that the murderer had had the nerve to concoct his little confession or else his eye witness's version for the benefit of the police"
 Once again, who is he?" ln- quired Nurse Jones.
 Good morning, ladies and gen. tlemen. Staff conference? The de- voted friends of the afflicted in council?" said a mocking voice, as MT. Wave seated himself upon the low sill of the big window, and looked into the room.

Dyeing Furniture.

"I recently saw some wicker furni-
ture that had been dyed a soft dull
green. Can you tell me how this Is
done? MRS. M. B"
Wicker furniture or wood furniture
that has never been painted may be
colored very attractively by means OF
dye It is less trouble to use regular
paint, but you will be able to get in
teresting soft tones by means of dyes.
Select some good sort of package dye
and proceed according to directions up
to the point in the fabric dyeing where
the dye mixture is put into the dye
BATH This usually means mixing the
dye with little boiling water, boiling
a few minutes and straining through
cheeSecloth.
If you want the wood a deep tone
use undiluted. If lighter tone is de-
sired dilute the mixture. Experiment
with the dye on an unexposed part of
the furniture or on a smooth piece OF
wood. Use a paint brush that has not
been used for oil paint. Proceed with
the painting as you would for ordinary
furniture paint, applying the dye as
evenly as possible.
When it has dried thoroughly get
some wax and dissolve 1t in turpentine.
Use a small saucepan and melt over
boiling water, taking care not to let
the flame come in contact with the tur-
pentine. When thoroughly melted and
smooth rub this evenly over the dyed
surface.
