Willys, president of the Willvs-Overlnnd Company, who was ap pointed chairman of tjie committee to ra.se funds, offered the services of the Overland Concert Band and the Over land tilpe Club for a benefit concert. Between $3,500 and 54,000 was raised at the concert which was given last Tuesday evening in Toledo, when the Overland organizations were assisted by Mrs. Albro Blodgett, soloist. A huge audience tilled the theatre in which the concert was given, the boxes having been auctioned off at big prices.

Frederick's War on Coffee In a manifesto issued bv Frederick the Oreat in 1779 the mighty monarch deplored "the increased consumption of coffee by my subjects and the amount of money that goes out of the country in consequence. Everybody is using coffee. This must no longer 'bo. My subjects must drink beer. His majesty was brought up on beer, and so were his ancestors. Innumerable battles have 'been fought and won by soldiers nourished on beer, and the King does not believe that coffee drink ing soldiers can be defended upon to and ure hardships or to conquer his enemies should another war occur." Coffee roasting was made a government monopoly, and a prohibitive price was charged for the 'berry. "Coffee smel-" lors" were appointed all over Prussia to check illicit roasting. Coffee was, therefore, ousted from popular favor.— London Chronicle. What's In a Name How we like to hypnotize ourselves with names!

In the winter months muskrat meat is in considerable demand in the mar kets of the 'Middle Atlantic States, but its sells 'best as ' * marsh rabbit' * or " water Squirrel."
