tho count and then took the lead
at 30 lo 29 in tho twenty-ninth in

down match until Hall was stopped
by three consecutive kisses In the

shattered Hall's nerves. The hard

DOUGHNUTS ARE
BETTER IF C00KEE

Likewise Coffee Ha,s More
Delicious Flavor When
Roasted iii Small Lots
Experience shows that if too
rhany doughnuts are 'put into the
hot fat. at once, the cooking process
ia hindered. The .temperature of
the fat is reduced and the dough
nuts become greasy.
A similar situation occurs tehen
coffee is roasted in bulk. It is diffi
cult to apply the heat evenly, and
as a result some -of the eoffefi
berries may , be overdone anc sornjj,
underdone. Such variation in the
roast causes disappointing varia
tion in flavor.
Hills Bros, overcame this by in
venting and patenting a process
COntrdlled Roasting that roasts
every coffee berry evenly. With
automatic control of heat and speed
of operation, a few pounds at a
time pass- through the roasters.
Uniformity of roast and unequnled
flavor is the result.
Hills Brds. Coffee is always fresh
when you buy it because it is packed
in vacuum. This process takes air,
which destroys the flavor of coffee,
from the can and keeps it out.
Coffee will not stay fresh in or
dinary cans, even if air-tight. Gro
cers everywhere sell Hills Bros.
Coffee. Ask for it by name and look
