Heading: The Decree Must Be Modified.

Text: Following the usual formalities in the decree there are seven numbered paragraphs of factual statements. Immediately following these are several unnumbered but distinctly separate paragraphs defining the relief accorded plaintiff. In the first of these relief paragraphs it is decreed that plaintiff is entitled to the exclusive use of the term `8 Bells' and `Eight Bells' as its trade mark. Obviously, the word Bells has been inadvertently used instead of O'Clock and the decree is modified in this particular by striking the word Bells and substituting the word O'Clock in each instance. In the second of these relief paragraphs the defendant is enjoined from the use of the word Bell or Bells or O'Clock in any manner or combination in connection with the sale of coffee. There is nothing in this case justifying such restriction upon the proper use of these common words of the English language. This paragraph of the decree will therefore be modified by striking therefrom the following language: and/or from using the term `Bell' or `Bells,' whether associated or not with a numeral indicative of time, in connection with the sale of coffee, and/or from using the term `Clock' and/or the term `O'Clock,' whether associated or not with a numeral indicative of time, in connection with the sale of coffee. As so modified, the decree is affirmed.
