Dangers of Watered Coffee

Watered stock, watered milk, and
watered coffee-the United States Gov
ernment is carrying on crusade to
eliminate all three.
Everyone knows about watered
stock. Everyone has seen blue milk"
the combined efforts of cow and the
old pump. But not everyone Is on his
guard against "watered coffee"
That the United States Government
realizes the danger Of watered coffee
Is shown by the specifications for the
United States Army supplies. These
specifications say plainly;
"Coffee: roasts must be dry
roasts, no water being permitted
before, during or after the process
of roasting'
Water In coffee Is n piece of dishon-
esty practiced by INSCRIPTIONS coffee
roasters. They turn the hose on the
coffee while 1t is being roasted so
that 1t won't lose weight, as coffee
WILL when properly roasted In roast
Ing, coffee should lose about 16Po OF
It's weight, IF It is watered 1t loses
but 40. The difference, of course, Is
water, for which you pay coffee value,
This Is adulteration and nothing
more. The water-logged coffee is rank
and unhealthy. OF course, II Is not
honest to charge for coffee, and sell
coffee beans soaked in water.
A lot Of watered coffee Is being sold
no doubt right in this town, II is more
often met with In the lower priced
grades Of bulk coffee.
As coffee Is such an important bev-
erage, pure food authorities are nd
vising housewives to use the greatest
care In selecting their coffee. The pure
food experts say that the best way to
avoid watered coffee is to buy some
reliable packaged brand, roasted by a
reputable coffee roaster as Arbuckle
