The Use and Abuse Of Coffee.

The following excellent practical ad.
vice is from the Manufacturer ana
-D,ssscsor. uOw sGrong Hss.d coffee Dc
taken, is an inquiry OF nafch practical
importance. How much should be
taken at meal is scarcely of less mo-
ment. Coffee, like any other beverage,
may wholly ruin the health; the very
use of it tends to this, as certainly as
does the use of wine, cider, beer or any
other artificial, stimulating drink.
There is only one safe plan of using
coffee, and that is never under any cir.
cumstances, except of an extraordinary
character, exceed in quantity, frequency
or strength-take only one cup at the
regular meal, and of given unvarying
strength. In this way it may be used
every day for lifetime, not only with.
out injury, but with greater advantage
than an equal amount of cold water, and
for the simple reason that nothing cold
should be drank at regular meal, ex.
cept by persons in vigorous health. We
have personally known of the case of q
lady who was for long time in poor
health, to the mystifcation of several
PhJpASAolo WI6U
at last we discovered that she made q
most extravagant use of coffee many
times day-in fact, she had pot Of
coffee always at hand. Following the
advice to abstain from coffee, resulted
in an immediate end of all her trouble,
In regard to the strength, it is main
tanned by some that one pound of the
bean should make sixty cups of the
very best coffee. If man takes coffee
for breakfast only, one pound should
last him two months or six pounds q
year. One pound of coffee should be
made to last a family of ten persons,
young and old one week. Put about
two ounces of ground coffee in quart
of water, or rather divide the pound
into seven portions, one for each break
fast in the week, and make quart of
coffee out of it, which will be sixty-four
tablespoonfuls. Give the youngest two
tablespoonfuls and the eldest dozen,
the remainder of the one cup being
filled up with boiled milk. This will
give cup of coffee sufficiently for all
healthful purposes for the respective
ages; and for various reasons, pecuni-
ary as well as physical, some such sys-
tematic plan as this should be adopted
in every family in the land. How to
make the cup of coffee good, is a third
question. It is perhaps as good and as
easy plan as any to buy the coffee un-
ground, pick out those grains that are
imperfect, wash it, parch as much as
will last day or two, with your eye
upon it all the time, until it is of rich
brown, with no approach of black about
it. Grind only enough for the days
use; grind it fine, for the greater the
surface exposed to the hot water the
more of the essence you will have; pour
the boiling water on the coffee and close
it up. Some boil it little, others pre-
fer not to boil it at all, but let it stand
to clear ten minutes, then use.

"Here / am Again"

The Florence (Arizona) Citizen saws :
Once more the stage from Tucson has
been stopped and plundered by single
highwayman. The stage left Tucson
with two passengers, and as it happened
Arthur Hill was again the driver. John
Miller one of the passengers, was sitting
on the outside, and as they neared the
point of the mountain he asked Mr.. Hill
to show him just the place where the
coach was robbed on July 81. Mr.. Hill
replied it was only a short distance
ahead, and he would point out the spot.
They reached the place. "There," said
Mr.. Hill, ''the robber was hid behind
that BUSH" Mr.. Miller nodded, 'and
there he is again." shouted the driver
with the same breath, as the same
masked robber sprang from behind the
same bush and pranced before the
horses shouting, "Yes, here / am again,
throw up your hands," etc. The sur.
prise of the gentlemen on the box can
easily be imagined. In fact, there is q
decidedly ludicrous side to this ''stage
of the game" or game of the stage, or
the same stage-robber, or-but more
serious incidents follow. The mail
sacks and express box were thrown out.
The man on the inside lost only about
SO; but Mr.. Miller was more unfortu-
nate; he was obliged to give up his
pocket'book which contained about
1926.

Katie's AMictiOn,

Katie Prehm, of Traer, Ia, is aged
eleven. She recently wrote letter to
"Dear Uncle Sam," at Washington, to
say that her father and eldest brother
were about to take up claim in Kansas;
then she went on "I thought that
maybe if asked you you would let me
take claim of 100 acres for farm. 1
am strong and hearty, and as willing to
work as any man. My ma says that ]
have ambition enough to run splendid
farm. could get my father or brother
to break my land for me, and I will agree
to fence it all around with willows, and
I have got half peck of maple seeds
that / could make nice grove with if
you would only please give me the land.
If was there would give you a good
hug and sweet kiss if you will only
give me a deed to 160 acres of land in
Kansas" The commissioner of the land
office has written to Miss Prehm to ex-
press his regret that the homestead act
requires the applicant for land to be at
least twenty-one years of age and the
head of a family.
