Dangers of Watered Coffee

Watered stock, watered milk, and
watered coffee-the United States Gov.
eminent is carrying on a crusade to
eliminate all three.
Everyone knows about watered
stock. Everyone has seen blue milk, -
the combined efforts of a 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 a piece of diShon'
esty practlced by INSCRIPTIONS coffee
roasters. They turn the hose on the
coffee while il is being roasted, SC
that it won't lose weight, as coffee
will, when properly roasted. In roast
ing. coffee should lose about 1Gfo OF
its weight. If it is watered it loses
but 40. The difference, of course, is
water, for which you pay coffee value

GIRLS! MAKE A
BEAUTY LOTION
WITH LEMONS

At the cost of a small jar of ordinary
cold cream one can prepare full quar-
ter pint of the most wonderful lemon
skin softener and complexion beautifier,
by squeezing the juice of two fresh
lemons into a bottle containing three
ounces of orchard white. Care should
be taken to strain the juice through a
fine cloth so no lemon pulp gets in,

months. Every woman knows that lem
on juice is used to bleach and remove
such blemishes as freckles, sallowness
and tan and is the ideal skin softener,
smoothener and beautifier.
Just try it! Get three ounces of
orchard white at any pharmacy and
two lemons from the grocer and make
up quarter pint of this sweetly frag-
rant lemon lotion and massage 1t daily
into the face, neck, arms and hands. 1t
should naturally help TO whiten, soften,
freshen and bring out the roses and
beauty of any skin. 1t is truly marvel

1eIearaphino With the Voice.

A telegraph SENDER" has been ex-
perimentally perfected which the op-
orator works with his voice instead or
his fingers. In place of raising ana
depressing his sending key he sends
his dots and dashes by modulating his
voice to produce long and short inter
walls. The principle of the sender is
the same as that of the ordinary type.
In the usual senders the raising and
depressing of the key opens and closes
the circuit to produce the dot and
dash. In the new type delicate
