Coffee Beans a Good h.
 vestment

Coffee beans improve with age Five year old coffee is better than the new crop and fetches a higher price in the market. In two years coffee will lose D per cent in weight but it will increase more than 10 per cent in price, Coffee should be used quickly after roasting 1T the brown beans appear oily the oil shoud be dried off in quick, hot oven, otherwise it vii undergo a chemical change which will affect the flavor
 While coffee beans dry with age teas absorb moisture even when in zinc-lined chests. Tea likewise deterorates with age. IL doesn't lose strength so much as it does it's drawing quality, which is another name for flavor or bouquet So careful are the tea packers to insure an entire absence of moisture from the tea when being placed in the zinc-lined chests that they have the tea leaves sun dried and then heated before packing. The tea goes into the chests too hot to handle with bare hands and is sealed up in air-tight packages before it has time to cool and before the slightest sugges- ton of moisture reaches it.

The Evil in Veils

The habit wearing veils," says well known London pathologist, "is one that can only have been suggested by the arch-enemy of the human race at time when he desired to propagate broadcast disease of the respiratory system.
 "A veil that covers the nose and mouth is kept constantly moist and warm hy tho eXhased breathing. and the breath, when it Ieaves the lungs, is laden with waste products of the body, and those waste products are exactly the right food for the germs of consumption, ca tarrh, inhuehza, diptheria, bronchitis and pneumonia.
 The conditions are just right for their growth, for not only does food for them collect upon the strands of the veil, but if is kept moist by the water contained in the breath, and the breath keeps it warm.
 So you have moist warm food for these bacteria, and they flourish amaz- iEgly. Not onlS do they collect on the veil, but they multiply upon it and ev- cry puff of dust from the street adds to the number of parent baeili"

 l. Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today.
 Never trouble another for what you can do yourself.
 3. Never spend money before you have it.
 Never buy what you do not want because it is cheap; it will be dear to you
 Pride costs us more than hunger, thirst and cold.
 G. We never repent of having eaten too little.
 | Nothing is troublesome that we do willingly
 S. How much pain have cost us the evils which have never happened.
 g. Take things away by their smooth handle.
 10 When angry count ten before you Speak; if very angry, hundred.

From Judge.
 Nothing keeps a man so busy as the
 attempt to idle away his time.
 Many a man won his wifes hand sim ply because he refused to take no for
 an answer. More than one man has failed in life simply because he persisted in having spats and in wearing them. Nine times out of ten, when a lover tells his betrothed that he's not half
 good enough for her, he speaks only half the truth. Three is a crowd, but not in the eyes of the man who must pay the prima donnas salary.

ment to the energy and faith of the
people of this oldest mining district
OF Colorado. 1t has solved the prob

of low grade ores to the mills and con-
centrating plants. The first discovery
of gold in paying quantities in this
state was made within half mile of
Idaho Springs. 1t is then moderately

on this occasion, the sanitarium, the

lures for tourists and homeseekers.
The Newhouse is not the only tunnel:
