Where French Market Coffee
Won Its Fame
Over 153 years ago the old French Market at New Orleans won fame
through its exquisite coffee. It was a rare treat to stop at this celebrated
market and sip of the delicious beverage —the only place in America where
it could be secured.
The society dames of all the Mardi Gras Balls would not consider the
event complete without a cup of French Market Coffee as a “nightcap.”
In the War cf 1812, after Andrew Jackson’s brilliant victory, he stopped
at the Market House and treated his troops to French Market Coffee.
Then it could be had nowhere else. But today you may all serve it at
your table—for the old French Market blend is perpetuated by
The Same Unique Hygienic Roasting Process
No matter where you live you can obtain And it is untouched by human hands from
this rare coffee biend with ail the enticing the plantation to the cup. Order from your
aroma and natural strength preserved, for grocer today. Try some, and you'li agree
we pack it in hermetically sealed cans. "there is only one French Market flavor.”

VAST TREASURES
OF ENGLAND’S KING
Marvelous Jewels, Gold Plate,
Books and Prints
Detectives Live In Windsor Castle
and Buckingham Palace-Contents
Valued at sß,soo,ooo—Gold Plate
tor Banrjuels Weighs Five Tons.
London, Eng., April 26. —When King,
George V. came into possession cf;
Windsor Castle ai d Euck'ngham Pal-'
, ie, ho found their contents in a very
i different condition to that in which
they were at the death of Queen Vic
toria, when Edward VIE. inherited
them. At that period the valuable
jewels, p-late and works of art had
been locked up for years, and were;
; neither catalogued or protected from
lire.
Oi e of the first things King Ed
win d did was to have electric lights;
installed through both the possible an-i
I-liance and arrangements for fire
fighting. Te extended the royal li
brary, and had all the treasures of
Windsor Castle and Buckingham Pal-!
; nee properly inventoried and dis
played.
It is said that the \alue of the plate
inherited by King -George is practi
cally inestimable. What is termed
li "gold pantry” at Windsor consists
-of two large fireproof storeroom*. In
i which is kept plate of a value of at
. leasts $8,500,000. The gold plate used
for state banquets weighs over five
. tons, though, of course, it is not all
solid gold. If the larger pieces wer'
. unalloyed, they would be too heavy
to lift at all, and, as it is, some of the
■ apergnes tax the strength of four men,
. though they are only silver gilt. Os the
I pure gold pieces it takes one man to
, carry two dishes or eight plates.
There is not much plate in the “gold
pantry’’ of great antiquity, as the ex
igencies of the civil war forced Charles
1. to melt down all he possessed to coin
into money, but there are some very
fine specimens of foreign workman
' ship. Among them are a great silver
flagon taken from the flagship of the
Spanish Armada and the famous "Xau
: til us Cup,’’ made by Benvenuto Cellini.
There is a shield of the same great
Italian artist, and the wonderful gold
tiger’s head taken from Tippo Sa
hib's throne after the storming of
Seringapatam in 1789. It is life size
and its teeth and eyes are cut out of
pure rock crystal.
Another leic, captured at the same
time, is the jeweled bird called the
Fma.” In shape it is like a pigeon
i with a peacock’s tail, its feathers
blaze with precious stones and a mag
nificent emerald hangs from its breast.
According ’to an old Indian legend,
whoever owns the “Fma” will rule
India. There is also another shield,
formed of snuff boxes and valued at
$3,000, and a great quantity of cups
. and salvers, among them a rose wai
ter fountain of silver, designed by the
Prince Consort, husband of Queen
Victoria, and weighing nearly 3,000
ounces.
The plate and jewels are guarded
day and night by detectives, who live
in Windsor Castle as ordinary officials
and inspect every stranger who is seen
1 in the vicinity of the famous “gold
pantry.” These jewels are the private
property of the royal family, and ha'/e
nothing to do with the crown jewels,
which are kept in the Tower of Lou-,
don.
Queen Mary’s, like Queen Alexan
dra’s personal jewelry is of immense
value, and for precaution’s sake has
all been duplicated in paste. So far
no enterprising knight of the jimmy
lias attempted to break into Windso”
Castle and steal. There i's an old and
still unrepealed law which enables the
reigning sovereign to put to death
f any person or persons through whose
carelessness any one of the royal
gems may be lo3t. This royal prerog
ative was not exercised when some
of the royal jewels were stolen from
L üblin Castle a few years ago.
The royal library of Windsor con
tains over 100,600 volumes, and dn
-5 elides many volitems that would fetch
enormous prices if they iwere put up
1 1 auction. There is a Metz Psalter, it
.s said, for which any collector would
sell anything he possessed; also a
1 Charles 1., Shakespeare, a Caxton on
' vellum, and other treasures too nu
! nterous to mention. On the floor be
low the library is a room containing
one of the finest collections of prints
in existence, which, it has been esti
mated, would fetch $350,000 at aui
tion. The rooms also contain 20,000
> drawings of the old masters and over
1,000 miniatures, which Queen Vic
-1 toria collected.
In addition to all these King Geo ,- ge
V.. has also inherited the great collec
tion of valuable objects gathered to
gether by his father. These include
1 tln» coronation presents made nine
yars ago, which are worth $1,250,000,
and many gifts from India, including
a magnificent embossed shield of gold
given by a number of rajahs. It has
been stated by those experts who are
in a position to know that no reigning
monarch, not even the Czar of Russia,
has such a wonderful collection of val
uable objects as King George V.
Xo woman can be happy who has
too much time to think of the things
that are none of her business.
Nothing short of a surgical opera
tion would amputate some men from
their money.

Please Read These Two Letters.
The following letter from Mrs. Orville Rock will prove how tinwi-e
it is for women to submit to the dangers of a surgical operation when i:
may be avoided by taking Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound.
She was four weeks in the hospital and came home suffering
worse than before, Then after all that suffering Lydia E. Piim
ham's Vegetable Compound restored her health.
llfillE IS HER OWN STATEMENT.
. Paw Paw, Mich. — “Two years ago I suffered
/£- .Ts'yVvery severely with a displacement -I could not

treated me for several months without much re
— '£.ilief, and at last sent me to Ann Arbor for an op
mC?' "ffi d eration. I was there four weeks and came Lome -
\ y , suffering worse than before. My mother ad
\£. / vised me to try Lydia E. Piiikham’s Vegetable
V ' Compound, and 1 did. r, 'o-'!ay lam well ami
strong and do all my own housework. I owe my
vRV-V-’vV health to Lydia E. Pink ham’s Vegetable Coin

“There never was a worse ease. :;
Eockport, Inrl.—“There never was a worse case of woman’s
ills than mine, and I cannot begin to tell you what I suffered.
For over two years 1 was not able to do anything. I was in bed

cure me. My father suggested Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetal)!
Compound; so to please him I took it, and 1 improved wonder
fully, so I am able to travel, ride horseback, take long rides an
never feel any ill effects from it. 1 can only ask other sufferin
women to give Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound a tri;
before submitting to an operation.” Mrs. Margaret Meredith,
