Coffee.

The best coffee In the world grows In
Brazil and never leaves there. "Coffee. :"
says Brazilian prUverb, "should be %
black as night, az hot as Hades, a. strong
as the devil, and as sweet as love-" To
taste q really perfect cup OF coffee one
must visit Brazil. 1t IL roasted fresh
every week and the roasting is always
done in q kettle used for no other pur-
pose. A kettle which has ever contain
ed grease of any sort is considered abso-
lurely fatal to the perfect flavor OF the
coffee. 1t Is roasted very black, much
blacker than one ever sees coffee In
this country. The roasting is usually
done over a charcoal fire out OF doors.
1t is then pounded very fine in stone
mortar. Coffee mills are regarded with
disfavor, because they do not grind the
coffee as fine az 1t is possible to pound 1t
In the mortar. A tablespoonful 10 allow.
ed for each cup and the required amount
is placed in bag and hot water IL pour.
cd over it. The best coffee makers say
that the kettle of hot water should not
actually boil, but that the water should
be used at the crucial moment just be-
fore it actually begins to boil. The hot
water extracts the delicious flavor leav.
ing the harmful properties behind, and
coffee made In this way Ii much less
harmful than that which 10 boiled.

One Million Dollars for a
Good Stomach.
THIS OFFER SHOULD BE WARNING To
EVERY MAN AND WOMAN.

The newspapers and medical Journals
recently have had much to say relative
to q famous millionaire's offer OF a
million dollars for new stomach.

busy to worry about the condition OF
his stomach. He allowed his dyspepsia
to run from bad to worse until In the
end it became incurable.
His misfortune serves as a warning
to Others.
Every one who suffers with dyspepsia
for a few years will give everything he
owns for new stomach.
Dyspepsia is commonly caused by an
abnormal state of the gastric juices,
or by lack of tone in the walls OF the
stomach. The result Is that the stomach
loses its power to digest food
