 FLAVOR IN COFFEE
Controlled Roasting Gives Hills Bros. Coffee Flavor $
 No Other Coffee Has ,I

As everybody knows, the flavor of coffee varies according to the way it is brewed. Especially dis appointing is the result when coffee stays on the fire too long or is taken off too soon.
 Similar unsatisfactory results can occur in the roasting of coffee. If the blend is roasted too long or not enough there is a noticeable difference in flavor between the two lots. Even with watchful care such variation is exceedingly difficult to prevent when coffee is roasted in large quantities..
 Realizing this, Hills Bros. origi- mated and patented a continuous process which roasts coffee a few pounds at time, instead of in bulk. The quantity of coffee passing into the roaster does not vary. The speed of operation and the tempera- ture remain the same with the result that Hills Bros. Coffee is absolutely uniform and has a flavor no other coffee has.
 Hills Bros. Coffee never "goes stale" because it is packed in vacuum. By this process air, which destroys the flavor of coffee, is taken from the can and kept out. Or dinary 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. Sold by grocers every. where.

 Our little village of Orchard Hill, with the First National Bank, the Owl Drug store, Harriet's house, the home of the Careys and the county jail, to Old Tony is a stage set. The back drop is a scene of rolling hills with farm houses and fields showing here and there amid the woods. Tonys house is well down stage-close to the footlights, as it were-at the edge of the vil- lage overlooking the river, the val ley and the wide sweep of country beyond
 The Orchard Hill set nas been changed since Antonio Latour's first entrance over 70 years ago. The simple peace and quiet of the country village where Harriet and Tony played their parts is gone now. Modern improvements have come to Orchard Hill-Rotaries, Li- ons, Kiwanis a Chamber of Com merce, an Advertising Club, Boost CTS. When I remark, with lamen- tations, on these changes the old actor says, "Oh, well! the artists of the theatre, you know, have al- ways been forced to yield little to the box office"
 Many of the actors who were on the stage with Harriet and Tony in those opening scenes have made

 One evening when we were sit- ting in the summer twilight the old gentleman said, Tt is strange how that part of my life when was an actor-seems to me, now, to be only a dream" And then he continued as though he had forgotten my presence: But my childhood and youth which I spent here in Or chard Hill with Harriet-those years of my life are very real"
 They who pride themselves upon being too sophisticated and world ly-wise to indulge in sentiment will laugh with hard laughter at this old mans memories. They will say that Antonio Latour's story is sen timental bosh.
 We'll, of this I am convinced: All normal men and women who have truly lived do have such emo tional memories. And I believe, too, that if the truth were known, the heart experiences which the SC world-hardened critics SO carefully hide. are the dearest treasures of their years.
 As for what are termed the realities of life-do not fear. Be- fore Antonio Latour's story is fin ished you shall hear enough of be- trayals, and robberies, and mur- ders, and tragic death.

ovan, Pierre's father, had no soul with which to endow his son. l knew that long before Donovan met Harriet, but what could I do?"
 tonio's forefathers were French, and Harriet's ancestors were of the same race. Harriets $ father, Doe" Noel, was a druggist and he and his wife were highly re- spected in Orchard Hill. Mrs. Noel died when Harriet was born and the child was raised by an ugly old housekeeper, feared by every youngster in the village. Forced to live too much within herself, the little girl soon learned that she could trick the housekeeper or her father into granting her almost anything and so grew up doing much as she pleased.
 She was never preJty child, as so many little girls are pretty Her face was freckled, her nose strong ly inclined to turn up; she had large gray-green eyes, a wid e mouth, broad forehead, and a general air of elfishness that pro- voked the villagers to wonder what the child would come to-"
 In the years of their childhood Tony and his little girl neighbor were often together, but she was no more to him than his other boy and girl playmates. He did not become conscious of her until the year before they graduated from the public school. Tony was IA; Harriet was two years younger. She had been grade behind him but that year she caught up with

 One evening, with a chuckle of mirth, Antonio said: T overheard that Buxton woman talking about me today She and two other Wo- men stopped in front of my house.

SCOUTS BACK
 FROM EAGLE
 RIVER OUTING
Boys Get Lucky Breaks and Have Unusually
 Successful Vacation

After one of the most successful encampments in the history of the Juneau Boy Scouts, twenty-two Scouts, accompanied by Curtis Shattuck, Director, returned to the city from Eagle River Saturday af- i ternoon.
 Unusually fine weather, specializ- ed instruction, and additional tent facilities this year were largely re- sponsible for the camps success, according to Shattuck.
 The Scouts had but one day of rain during the twelve days that were spent at Eagle River. On seven days there were instructors in Camp, and on some of these day there were two men to work with the Scouts.
 Five New Tents Five twO-man tents were pur- chased before camp started, and these aided considerably, as they allowed more space per boy and permitted a higher level of disci- pline to be maintained.
 'On the whole the general be- havior of the Scouts was all that could be desired,' Shattucls said. We passed more Scout tests this year, I believe, than were ever passed before in one outing"
 One hundred eighteen examina- tions were completed-Robert Simp- son, Fred Harris, Elliott Robert son and Allan Elliott advanced from second class rank to first class rank
 Those who attained second class rank were: Frank Behrendt, Brice Howard, Walter Scott, Duncan Ro- bertson, Ralph Bardi, Jim Cole, Joe Smith, Harry Sturrock and Charles Talmage.
 Twelve Win Honors
 Honor badges, awarded q on, the basis of work done in Scouting and on general attitude at camp, were presented to the following:
 Robert Simpson, Allan Elliott, Duncan Robertson, Arthur Ficken, Bill Ford, Brice Howard, Walter Scott, Bill Vim, Jim Cole, Joe Smith, Harry Sturrock and Elliott Robertson.
 With more than twice as many mouths to feed this year as there were last year, Cook Tom McMul- len kept the food bill lower than it was in 1930. A great deal of the credit for this 1881 camp is due McMullen, Shattuck declared. Not only did McMullen keep the cost down but also his meals were more complete than they have ever been in the past.
 Che of the treats of theA camp this year was five gallons of ice cream sent out by L. H. Smith of the Juneau Dairy.
 Instructors
 Those who offered their time to instruct the Scouts at camp are: Harry Sperling, Wellman Holbrook, M. L. Merritt, c. H. Flory, E. c. Guerin, Dr. w. w. Council, T. B. Judson, Forrest Bates, Harold Smith, George Nelson, Winn God dard and Simpson MacKinnon.
 The Scouts are indebted to the Alaska Game Commossion for the use of the Sea Otter, Capt. Ken Talmage, who with Art Nelson as his assistant, transported supplies and bedding to and from camp and also took the Scouts on cruise Friday.
 Thanks are also due Dr. George F. Freeburger, who loaned the boys a camp boat, the Reliable Transfer for hauling supplies, the U. s. For est Service for use of bedding and mosquito nets, Mort Truesdell for use of gun and ammunition; and others who helped give the Scouts e. pleasant two weeks at Eagle River.

THE housewife should literally
: know her onions" these dcyc
II she makes the most of this pie
bian vegetable. Properly cooked,
onions are not only an appetizing
dish. but they are of unusual food
value as we'll.
It's rather interesting to know
that the onion has been used since
the beginning of history. II was
Norshipped by the ancient Egypt
ians. who regarded its layer on
layer of rings as the symbol Of
eternity.
Our Observation-Disclosures had
great faith in the healing proper
ties of onions. Onion syrup and
onion plasters were considered ef-
fectiye remedies for colds.
Today in the light Of scientific
Investigations we know that
onions are one of the protective
foods" and do much to ward Off
colds and prevent general dis
eases. Vitamins Il and c are both
present. yitamin C being particu-
larly abundant. Rich in iron, they
are a good substitute for the So
called red meats" This quality
alone makes them 4 desirable ad-
dition to the menu when meat is
not served. They also have the
virtue of supplementing the in
adequate protein of other vegc-
table foods. All this knowledge
enables us to add onions to our
menus with increased assurance OF
their value.
Food Value Varies
The actual food value in terms
of calories depends largely on the
way onions are served, but If you
remember that one-half cup plain
cooked onions furnishes approXt-
mately 13 calories of protein, OF
fat and 81 of carbohydrates, you
will have a working basis TO figure
on.
At this season of the year. dry
onions are at their best. Since
they are not very perishable they
can be bought in quantity and
stored for future use. Although
generally considered the proper ac-
compartment to poultry and game,
they are quite acceptable with
beef. mutton and liver. Properly
cooked. they provide cheap and
exceedingly wholesome vegetable.
Onions lose minerals less heav-
lily through baking then through
other methods of cooking. 1t is
surprising how good they are sim
