The Tea and Coffee Pots.


Many otherwise exemplary house
keepers are most careless in regard to
the care given the tea and coffee pots.
Much OF our poor tea and coffee might
be traced to an unclean pot.
The tea and coffee pots should be
as carefully washed and cared for as
any of the table dishes. AS both tea
and coffee have so strong an odor. 1t
is necessary in order 10 have the pots
sweet to give them a good summing In
the air.
When the pots are not In frequent
use they are apt to grow musty. Try
keeping loaf OF sugar in the pot to
absorb the impurities.
When the tea is brewed In the kitch-
en-, n stone or crockery teapot is the
best to use.
Coffee pots should never be allowed
to stand around with the grounds In
them. They should be thrown out and
the pot boiled out with cold water.
There are many cooks who keep the
coffee over and warm It up. with fresh
water. for the next meal. This should
never be permitted, as there Is DIT
ter principle developed which Is mos'
injurious.
