COUNTESS IS1
London Money Lender Asks Worn
Friend of King Edward to
Repay $25,000.
London.—The Countess ,of Warwick,
one of the closest friends of the late
King Edward, has been sued by a
former London saloonkeei)er for $25,-
000, and only the intervention of pow
erful Influences has kept the case
from coming up publicly in court. The
suit shows that the countess was the
victim of a huge swindle in her deal
ings with Hooley, the former London
financier now bankrupt.
A climax to the countess’ troubles
came when she no longer had a king
to guide her in her attempt to re-

The Jotirnal of Commerce lately said: ,stir-

‘•The coffee world is discussing what is to'be

the largest roasters in the South asking -what can

‘‘The matter should have been taken up by
the Brazilian dov'i when they were completing
their Ijcautiful valorization scheme.”
Then the article proceeds to de
nounce Postum and works into a
fine frenzy, because we have pub
lished facts regarding the effect of
coffee on some people.
The harrowing tale goes on,
“Where a few years ago every
