the Hollanders about 200 years ago Il
discover that the roots OF the cnicorJ
plant dried, ground and roasted pro
duced drink like coffee, both pal
atable and healthfuI.
During the Napoleonic wars strles
blockade of the continent OF Europe
was maintained and all importations
of coffee, tea and cocoa ceased. This
forced the people to turn to chicory
as beverage and it soon came into
general use
So good was its taste, SO rich was
its aroma that the new beverage at
once became exceedingly popular
with the good Dutch housewives, who
are known the world over for their
ability as cooks.
After the war, when ample supply
of coffee could be secured, the Hol-
landers were loath to give up their
chicory. As result they blended
coffee and chicory and produced good
old Dutch coffee, now served in nearly
all hotels, restaurants and homes In
Europe.
Not only did this blend produce
that rich aroma and flavor. but 1t
was found that chicory counteracted
the bad effects of straight coffee.
These who found ordinary coffee in
furious drank the combination and it
proved both refreshing and healthful.
Thus 1t is seen that chicory has
been used for centuries In Europe,
where it is regarded as a necessary
addition to coffee.
Americans began using chicory as
soon as they realized 1t was put on
the market to improve the quality of
coffee and not in any spirit of dishon-
esty. Fortunately the new United
States pure food law requires all
makers to state on their packages
What the contents are, and this pro-
ects the buyer from all substitutes |

nsures a grade equal to that from /
which the old fashioned Dutch bever- |

7ord of mouth until those who have
heretofore been disappointed In Sc

hat by buying coffee mixed with
hicory they secure the exact combin-
ton they have been seeking.

Smoking in Clubs,

The question Of smoking was a
burning one in the mid nineteenth
century, and it was not until 1s45
that Whites gave up a room to the
users OF tobacco. And in all clubs

most dismal apartments. It was King
Edward, when Prince of Wales, who
broke through the tradition, and when
