BRANDYWINE FILLING UP
Cutting of Wood Causes the Lowest
Water For Years.

The Brandywine is filling at the pres
ent time and the recent rains are hav-
ing a most beneficial result upon IT,.
II is higher than at any time since last
Spring, and there viii be a small con-
tinued rise for some time. This Is OF
the greatest benefit TO the farm land
long it's banks and auguro well for
good crops next season. II is also doing
much good 10 the growing wheat
During the last month the stream
has been the lowest known for years
and at most points Il had for some time
been possible TO cross II without walk
ing far merely by stepping from one
stone 10 another. Speaking of the inn
mense drop of water in the stream a
man who has made observations for
many years says II was due TO the
cutting of the trees IN the forests
about the head Of the stream. Where
the timber has been cut there is tho
winter and early spring. but all this
water goes down with a rush In the
floods. Formerly tho floods were small
err but now there are frequent rushes
of water. which change the course Of
the stream and cause considerable
damage.

CREOLE COOKS MAKE
THE BEST COFFEE

The main reason that coffee is 80
insipid is that the cooks are careless
about time and measurement. They
take little pains with either tea or
coffee. They do not allow the water 20
boil. they keep the pot away from the
fire, they pour fresh water on old cof-
lee.
They also have the very bad habit
Of letting coffee stand. They make II
early and put It aside. The art OF
making fresh coffee just before II is
served is unknown TO the majority.
II IS always thought that the French
know how to make the best coffee. but
good as Il is, il Is equalled II not sur
passed in New Orleans and Mobile.
one reason for this is that the Gre
ole cooks in that part Of the country
consider coffee the first article in any
meal No wonderful dish Of herbs and
eggs or brolled pompano or gurNo tile
is put ahead Of a perfect pot o. ~,ffee.
There IS no girl so accomplished in
the drawing-room that she is not able
to turn out a cup OF coffee that equals
one made by the best chef. It Is not
until other American women realize
the value Of good coffee and learn how
to make It that we will have it unlver-
sa,.
To begin at the beginning. as all
good recipes and fairy tales do. the
Creole roasts the coffee at home and
grinds a little at a time. When il is
roasted Il is turned into a thick wood
en- box.
Early every morning the sound OF
the coffee grinding Is over that land.
from the French market TO the levees.
This method keeps the aroma OF the
coffee. When one buys IL roasted and
ground up there is no way to have the
coffee fragrant.
The water is violently boiling before
the coffee is ground. and the pot Of
heavy brown earthenware is hot
through and through.
Above IT IS a clean cheesecloth bag
resting on the edge over which the lid
can fit. The fresh ground coffee Is
quickly put into the bag. a cup OF
boiling water poured through. and the
lid put on.
After two minutes another cupful OF
water is put on. and so on until the
right quantity is made. You do not
fnd these cooks carelessly pouring or
the whole quantity OF water at ono
time
Even after il is all in. II is poured
back through the coffee in the bag a.
least once. and often twice. IL Il
then served at once. The smell is al
delicious as the taste and the correc
color is a rich golden brown

HALLOWEEN FUN

At a merry Halloween party tic
game OF Fortunes Wheel was played.

II a player fails TO touch the wheel
as II passes. or sends It into the MIDI

Charcoal has been used for absorbing
foul odors and neutralizing noxious

Fetid breath, whether from stomach

Charcoal oxidizes all gases, OF in
other words. changes foul smelling
odors into oxygen, thereby doing away
with all foulness and rendering even
such gases beneficial to the system by
giving IL more oxygen. The lungs puri-
fy the blood with oxygen from the air.

DR.. SHORT STRONG
FOR JUDGE TAFT
Former Local Pastor Believes
Him Proper Person for
President
A MAN OF SANE VISION

Because Of his public utterances to the
effect that religious beliefs should not be
dragged into politics, the Rev. Dr. Fran
els Burgetto Short. now pastor OF the
First Methodist Episcopal Church at Salt
Lake City, Utah. has become the sub
iect of considerable criticism in his home
State according TO an article in Inter-
Mountain Republican. OF Salt Lake city,
He has received many letters from per-
sons who have taken an opposite view
and believe that Methodist Episcopal
minister should not lend his support TO
William Howard Taft. because the presi-
Dental candidate is a member of the
Unitarian church.
DIR. Short declares that the letters he
has received have not shaken his views
and while he does not rebuke the authors
Of the epistles, yet he clearly and con-
cisey directs them along the path Of
duty as American citizens. He reiterates
his former public statements and in an
interview last night further voiced his
opinion in the matter at issue.
Some weeks ago Or. Short was at Gin.
quarters to see Mr. Taft 10 present the
regards Of a friend of the candidate
While there he spoke eloquently In behalf
of Mr.. Taft His words were sent broad
cast throughout the country. In his state
ment he said;
Man Of Sane Visions.
Judge Tafts efforts to raise a hgl
standard Of life at home. his interest ii
and solicitudo for the nations across TIN
sea. mark him as a man Of sane vision
and desire. Such a man this nation need
and requires at its head if VIC are to con
tinue to hold the undivided admiration
Of those. at home and those abroad. Sucl
man we must have if we would max

A few days later letters began 10 pou
in upon the minister from various par
Of the country Many writer's expresse
their surprise that Mr.. Short should gi'
