She was perhaps not more than 20. Her evening dress—a jeweled slip with a rose half torn from the shoul- der—was stained and crumpled. Her black hair fell about her. In their gold slippers her feet were the smallest he had ever seen.

She. rose heavily, a squat, swart, bulging figure, and waddled behind him. Gabreau followed.

His ‘onc>-famed spitball didn't start working until July this year, but then he won two games in three days against the St. Louis Browns, and a third against the ‘Washington Senators, to prove that he still has on occasional winning streak left in his system. Red has worked nearly 3,800 in- nings since he joined the White Sox in 1914—winning 240 games and losing 186. His last “big year” was in 1922, when he won 21, while losing 17. In 1915 he won 24 and lost 13; in 1920 he won 23 and lost 13, and in 1921 won 25 and lost 15.

Hills Bros. Coffee Has Matchless Flavor There are many risks attached to roasting coffee by ordinary meth- ods. For a man must guess when the roast is right. If he misses his guess, the flavor of the coffee usually suffers. Hills Bros. eliminated guesswork when they invented and patented Controlled Roasting—an automatic slrocesl that develops the fullest vor in every berry of the blend! As the accuracy of the hour-glass depends upon an even, continuous flow ... a little at a time. . . so the unvarying flavor of Hills Bros. Coffee is produced by Controlled Roasting — the patented process that roasts evenly, continuously . . . a little at a time. Automatic con- trol of heat and flow of coffee does what ordinary methods often fail to do. Every pound is roasted to the same degree of perfection, and every pound has the same fine flavor. To preserve this delicious flavor, Hills Bros. pack their coffee in yacuum cans. Air, which destroys | the flavor of coffee, is removed and kept out of these cans. Ordinary, “air-tight” cans won’t keep coffee fresh. But Hills Bros. Coffee can’t o stale! Order some today. Ask or it by name, and look for the Arab trade-mark on the can. ° Hills Bros.
