MAKING GOOD COFFEE
CERTAIN RULES THAT WILL
HAVE TO BE OBSERVED.
Buying It Green and Roasting 1t for
Oneself Is Always Advisable
Material Never Should Be
Placed in Tin.

Buy your coffee green and roast 1t
yourself. Thersin lies the main secret
of the good cup of coffee. Coffee aft.
er having been long roasted loses its
aroma and delicacy of favor. From
ready ground or ready roasted coffee
the best results are impossible.
But if the roasting is not done prop.
erly the brew may be worse than the
worst made from prepared coffee. If
roasted too much the flavor Is spoiled
and the beverage injurfously affects
the digestion. To prevent the decom-
position of the acid, gum and resin
in the coffee bean it is necessary that
the roasting proceed uniformly with
out excess of heat. It ie better to en-
ploy closed receptacle. which should
be shaken thoroughly about every ten
minutes to prevent scorching. 1t
should be removed froan the oven in
about forty-five minutes, when the
coffee is reddish brown. An expert
can tell by the odor wien the roast
ing is sufficient.
Real Mocha coffee-something rare
" seen, by the way-requires less
roasting than any other because of the
great amount of oil In the bean. In
other coffees the dam9ness prevails
over the oil and the excess of mois-
ture disappears with the roasting.
Mocha is roasted enough when 1t has
a cinnamon color; other coffees
should have more of a chestnut color.
In no instance should the coffee ap-
proach to blackness.
When properly roasted the coffee
should be enlptied On stone or
marble table, taking care to separate
the beans. The sudden contact with
the air and the cold surface arrests
the evaporation of the essential oils.
AS soon as the coffee is cooled 1t
should be placed in glass jar and
hermetically sealed. Never should 1t
be placed in tin. It should be used
as soon as possible after roasting, for
no matter how carefully kept its
aroma rapidly disappears. The best
plan therefore is to roast only enough
for one day. That insures the really
good cup of coffee.
Every housewife should have cof-
fee mill and grind the coffee just be-
fore making the brew. grinding only
enough for immediate use. When you
do not use a percolator the best re-
suits are obtained by not grinding too
finely. A tablespoonful Of medium
ground coffee to a cup Of water and
zone for the rot" is the usual rule for
making good strong coffee.

GOOD TREE FLOWER BASKET
Latest Idea In Outdoor Ornament VIII
Help Enhance Attractiveness
Of Any Place.

,; A feature which has been termed
"The Tree Flower Basket" is one of
the latest things presented in the
western part of this country for the
ibeautifying of the home property. The
owner Of the home place knows that
almost any kind of flower holders, If
they are put to work, serve to add to
the appearance of the property. Fur
thermore, where a novelty, in the way
of flower basket, such as is seen In

erected, it does more than merely
serve to enhance the attractiveness OF
the place-it adds individuality to the
dwelling.
Surely this feature adds the "indi.

Nelahborhood Parks Needed.

All of our cities need more small
neighborhood parks. The masses
must have breathing places and small
parks or squares best meet these re.
quirements. The development Of cit.
les should be controlled by the mu-
inequalities, and no tract put on the
market except small area for park
is first donated to the city. This is
a justifiable hold-up. There should be
a neighborhood park within ten min.

should have an educational value for
the district school and general public,
therefore each tree or shrub should be
labeled with proper and scientific

coNvIcTs AS ROAD BUILDERS
Need for Cooperation Between State
Highway and State Prison De-
partments Is Outlined.

"The state highway department
should hire convicts from the state
prison department in exactly the same
way as it would hire free laborers,
and at the same price per day. Dur
ing the hours of work the men should
not be thought Of as convicts, but sim
ply as employees of the highway de
partment. No payment should bespade
for a single hour not worked and
man discharged should be removed at
once and permanently, while the high
way department should have no re
sponsibility fer nor authority over the
convicts at any time nor in any man
ner except to conduct their woCk or
to discharge them"
This need for cooperation between
the state highway and state Prison
departments is strongly urgedl In
report made to the New York state
highway department by David J. Shor-
er, who was In charge of the convict
road work in Green county, New York,
during the summer of 1914.
Mr.. Shorer's practical experience
has demonstrated the Importance OF
the recommendation for cooperation
between the highway and prison de-
partments in conducting convict road
work, which the national committee
on prisons and prison labor has ad-
vocated for number of years and has
been instrumental in embodying into
the laws Of the state of West Vir-
ginia.
The work in Green county, New
York, was carried on under most diff
ficult conditions. The men arrived at
the camp before the organization and
equipment were completed. They
were sent there without regard to
their suitability for the work and al
most one-fourth were totally unfit and
had to be returned to the prison. Ar
rangements for feeding the men were
unsatisfactory, while winter made effi-
cient work impossible fully two weeks
before they were removed from the
camp.
In spite of these difficulties Mr.
Shorer reports that, taking the 60 con-
victs who were retained at the camp,
and comparing them with 81 civilians
also working at the camp, the con-
victs averaged better than the civil

Bremen LOST
BY an Accident and is Not Cap
tured German Diplomats
Now Believe.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 19.-Loss OF
the German submarine merchantmen
Bremen virtually was conceded today
by ranking Teutonic diplomats in po-
sition to be familiar with the move
ments Of the vessel. The Bremen is
now one month over due.
One official said It was considered
most likely that the Bremen had met
the fate Of a number of naval sub
marines which had sailed from port
never to be heard from again. These
vessels have disappeared completely
and none OF the members OF their
crews have been reported as being in
the detention camps CT the Allies. 1t
is presumed that they had some acci-
dent which caused them to sink.
Another argument advanced in sup
port of the belief that the Bremen
had met with an accident rather than
capture was that 1t had aboard a
number Of important documents for
the German embassy here which
would probably have been made pub
lie had they fallen into the hands OF

even among the presidents friends.
He ridicuied Mr.. Wilson's statement

asked what further incentive TO put
all the corpuscles Of his blood into
shouting shape" as the president ex-
pressed 1t, could he asked than the
Lusitania sinking.
At the outset OF my speech wish 10
point out, as have elsewhere pointed
out, that the doctrine now often ad-
vanced as to the improperly OF critI-
cising the president, without any re-
gard as to whether the criticism is
or is not Just, has no warrant either
in history or on grounds OF public
morality. Andrew Jackson in mes
sage to the Senate on April Is, 1894,
put the case exactly as 1t should be
put. He said:
The president is accountable
at the bar OF public opinion for
every act OF his administration.
Subject only to the restraints OF
truth and justice, the free people
OF the United States have the un-
doubted right, as individuals or
collectively. orally or in writing
at such times and in such Lam
guage and form as they may think
proper to discuss his official con-
duct and express and promulgate
their opinions concerning IT,"
This lays down the law that should
be followed. There must be truth and
justice in all that is said of the presl-
dent or of anyone else; but less than
any one other man in the nation has
he the right to claim immunity from
any criticism that is both just and
truthful. 1 criticise President Wilson
because his deeds have belied his
words, and his words have belied one
another.
All Promises Broken.
Mr.. Wilson's promises before cleo
ton. both those made in his own
speeches, and those made in the plat
form, have been so well-nigh invar-
iably broken, that the breaking Of
them has become subject for jest
