when such diet causes sickness
there is little or no depression of

fHs.e>g, EEoiIFd Water Necessary

All tea and coffee drinkers can tell
by their taste if the water from
which the beverage is made has not
boiled or has boiled too much.
Either Of these conditions will spoil
the flavor of the coet..vst tea Or the
best coffee berry. But not every one
knows the reason or how to avoid
the resu't.
The secret is in putting good fresh
water into a clean kettle already
warm and setting it to boil quickly,
then taking it right off to use In tea,
coffee, and other drinks before it is
spoiled. 1.-THE water is allowed to
steam and simmer and eyaporate till

Notary,s Oath Not Valid.

WASHINGTON, May 2l.-The OPT Mon
of the United States Supreme Court in
the case of the United States vs.. John
d. Hall was to-day the subject of earn
est discussion among officials of the
General land Office One of the points
at issue was that Hall had made oath
before a notary public. The Supreme
Court decided that where an oath is
required by United States statute the
oath can only be administered by an Of
fcer of the United States, hence no
tary public, being State officer, can
not administer an oath to United
States official, except where the stat
utes specifically state that the oath
NAV be made before such a State Off
cial.
