COFFEE
VS.
To put coffee up in tin cans at least ono quarter of the
selling price is the cost that you pay for the tin. Under present
conditions you should endeavor to obtain one hundred percent
food value for your money.
Why stand for twenty-five percent unnecessary waste.
Remember also that paying our now exorbitant freight
rates in addition to the cost of the tin ciin a minute reflection will
assure you that no coffee dialer will be in a position to give you
the required food values.
Our Fresh Roasted coTee at a lower price should convince
anyone to use it at all times against the high cost stale canned
coffees.

chines were mailed to' many officials

ment.
One attempt was made here to kill
Attorney General Palmer, whose
home was badly damaged, while the
family sleeping on the second floor
secaped uninjured.
Another bomb which was exploded
near the Washington home of Sena
tor Swanson of Virginia failed to do
any damage.

Mayor Davis of Cleveland, Ohio, Fed
eral Judge William Thompson and
Chief of ImmigraUon Sibray of Pitts
burg, Judge Charles Knott of New
rA* <A* *.9*
York and Representative Powers at
Newtonville, Massachusetts. None
of thci ntended victims were injured.
The Secret Service men have iden
tified the badly torn body of a man
found dead near the home of Attor
ney General Palmer as that of a no
torious anarchist from Philadelphia.
A pamphlet found near the body,
signed The Anarchistic Fighters said
that the time had come when the so
lution of social questions connot be
delayed and that the war for the lib
eration of humanity is now on and
must end with victory for the inter
national proletariat.

and Secret Servxice officials say that
they have identified the dead bomb
thrower found near the home of At
torney General Palmer as a notorious
anarchist of Philadelphia.

found in front of the Palmer resi
dence shows that 'its possessor ar
rived at Washington at ten thirty i>
m. last night from Philadelphia. He
went directly from the Union Station
to the Palmer home and was observ
ed only a few minutes before the
explosion alighting from a street
car only a few blocks away.
