yet he Is interested In the doings Of
the twentieth century and abreast of
the current of events in the year 1908.
He is exceptionally honored and trust

Properly Made Coffee

With all due respect to the crit.

the morning cup properly made can
hardly be injurious, and is to people
OF a certain form OF nervous tempera-
ment a food. Coffee is so seldom
properly made, and yet there are
many ways Of accomplishing it. In
some OF the French restaurants milk
is used instead OF water. and 1t is
therefore not only much richer. but is
really nutritious. Three tablespoon.
fuls OF coffee are used to a pint. The
milk is put into the pot and when AT
the boiling point the coffee. always
freshly ground, is put In and the
