Klein chuckled softly to himself. “Now listen here,” he caid soothingly. “Once I told you you had brains. It’s up to you to use ‘'em.

When it does occur, chimney fires are the greatest menace. Everyone has cause to worry and the City Coun- cil must spend money for special {watchmen on that account. | Most of the chimneys are full of soot at the present time and should be burned out now when every- thing is damp and there is no danger from doing so. The Fire Department requests residents to secure one of the hardware store preparations for burning out chim- neys and by its use be prepared for dry, windy weather. PLEASANT EVENING ON TONIGHT BY D.

Coffee Distinctive Flavor By a radically different process |of flavor-control, Hills Bros. have | given their rare blend of coffee a ‘]flnvor such as no other coffee has. “A little at a time” is the basis of this patented process-Con- itrolled Roasting. A constant (stream of green coffee is introduced |into the roasters in automatically measured lots of about three pounds, and passes through in a steady flow, roasting a little at a time. The heat is autonfatically |controlled so any variation in the roast is absolutely prevented. Such uniformity of the roast is not possible by bulk methods. In spite of watchful care some of the Icofl‘ee is roasted too much—some too little. Flavor variation is there- fore inevitable. As fast as Hills Bros. Coffee is roasted, it is ground and packed in vacuum. By this process air, which destroys the flavor of coffee, is taken from the can, and kept out. Ordinary cans, even if air-tight, ‘will not keep coffee fresh. Ask for Hills Bros. Coffee by name and look for the Arab—the trade-mark—on | the can. Sold everywhere by grocers. Hills Bros.
