'this would mean an equated payment

Mr. Itatchelder points to the fact that
"i-a atnte which does not provide Inter

and says that a road brings common

available to those living In tile terri

come from a distance. He believes
that the commonwealth should build
arteries of communication and meet
the wants of the largest number of

DRINK HOT TEA
TOn A BAD COLD
Get a amall package of Ilamburg
Breast Tea, or as the German folka
call it, "Hamburger Brust Thee," at any
pharmacy. Take a tablcspoonful of tho
tea, put a cup of boiling witter upon
it, pour through a sieve and drink a
teacup full at any time during tho
day. or before retiring. It is tho most
effective way to break a cold and cure
grip, ns it opens the pores of the Bkm,
relieving congestion. Also loosens the
bowels, tLus driving a cold from the
system.
Try it the next time you suffer from
n cold or tho grip. It is inexpensive
nnd entirely vegetable, thereforo safe
and harmless.
Royal Ciub Satisfaction
Begins With Breakfast
and lasts throuihout the day. There is no
finer Coffee blend than ROYAL CLUB it is a
combination of the finest Sumatra and Central
Pnffno rnmfiillv blended in the green
and "neutralized." To properly "neutralize" a blend it
is necessary to mix the different green coffees and let
them "age" for a year or more. The small roaster
cannot afford to "tie up" his money in this way he
must mix his blend and roast it immediately.
The green coffees for ROYAL CLUB are bought a
year in advance blended by experts and "aged" into
a perfect, smooth, satisfying and distinctive flavor.
This and the high qualities we use accounts for
ROYAL CLUB superiority and popularity. As one
man expressed it, "you haven't tasted real coffee until
you've tried ROYAL CLUB."
