In ths room realized what was to come
of the French and titled lady's inter
ruption and only looked upon her a*
an Inconvenient bore, to bo disposed of
as beat could be.
"Oh, that dreadful woman again,"
sighed Mary.
The countess entered and came over
to Rodney at once, speaking to him in
French:
"Vousetos Monsieur Martin V she
cooed.
Rodney nodded.
"Ah. cher Monsieur Martin? J e sols
enchanfee de vous voir."
"The dame's loony," said Peale In an
aside to Mary.
"No; she's French." *ald Mnry. "8he

doesn't speak English. I snw 1?er up
at the house."
"Well let her talk to me," Rodney

"Coffee Don't Hurt Me"
Can lie get away with it ?
The drag, caffeine, in coffee, alxml 2'/2 grains to the
average cup, hurts many coffee drinkers, at somo time of
life, and often hurts them hard.
Caffeine is a powerful irritant that un^teadics the
nerves, races the heart, disorganizes the digestive organs and
plays havoc with the health of a large proportion of coffee
users.
Of course, there are some who go on drinking coffee
for years, without apparent harm, at least they don't sus
pect it, until the cumulative drug, caffeine, has got in its
work.' Isn't it the best plan to play safe with health ?

As "necessity la the mother of
Invention," the gas companion, when
forced out of the cream of the light
ing business by the invasion of the
electric lighting companies, succeed
ed In cheapening the cost of produc
ing gas so that It could be used for
cooking purposes. This use has
greatly Increased, so that today, in
stead of the greatest consumption of
gas being on Christmas Eve. as was
ihe case twenty-flve years ago, It Is
r.ow on Lho Fourth of July; In fact.
If the gns companies had not been
ar>:e to reduce the cost and increase
the rfnc'.er.ey of that product so as
to make !t practicable for rooking
purp"os, there would have been re.
organizations of a large percentage
of our nation's gas co mpanies since
the Invasion of the electric light.
Instead, its the gas companies have
been able to adapt their product to
oooklng gas, th*lr output ha* con- 1
tlnually Increased and gas securities
bav0 a most enviable record for sta
bility and strength; In fact, it :s
claimed that no other class of bonds
nhows such a small percentage of
defalcations as gas securities.
