To Make Good Coffee

Take a teaspoonful of coffee for
each cup desired, put in a cheese
cloth bag or sack, then pour the boil
ing water on it, measuring carefully.
Do not permit it to boil; just simmer
it must be kept below the boiling
point for five minutes. Pack the
spout with clean piece Of cheese
cloth to keep the steam in; this also
keeps in the aroma which is wasted
by escaping into the air.
Carefully follow these directions
and you will be delighted with your
cup of morning cheer. These three
essentials are first and foremost. The
perfectly clean pot, good grade of
coffee, using it medium fine. and plac-
ing it in the cheese cloth bag: then,
last of all, the absolutely fresh boil
ing water. All this will produce a
nectar fit for the gods, true am
brosia that is within the reach of the
plainest home. Needless to say that
cream, good cream, adds the finishing
touch to the perfect cup of coffee.

Blind Pigs Thrive Best

"Blind pigs" is the name of the hor-
rible bogy which the saloon element
is always holding up to scare the neu-
trail voter and make him fall off the
fence and land on the wet side.
The truth is that "blind pigs" thrive
best off the liquor traffic under the
license system. When the licensed
saloon is abolished, the blind pig i'm
mediately shows up in vivid colors by
contrast with the old wet situation.
This is often true when the dry per-
iod cuts the number of blind pigs
down to almost nothing.
If you want to know the truth
about blind pigs, go to Detroit where
there are now 1,400 blind pigs, which
is more than the total number of Ii
censed saloons in that wet city. In
fact, there are probably about 1000
blind pigs in Detroit, if the truth
were known, against 1877 saloons in
the year 1915.
Federal Judge Scores Saloon
In pronouncing sentence on the
more than 100 men convicted at Terre
Haute in 1914, who had been con-
victed or pleaded guilty in the Unit
ed States District Court of conspir-
acy to defraud the federal elections,
Judge Anderson said:
"My notion is that the saloon will
have to 60. ! believe that the time
will come when the people will rise
up and smash the saloon, at least as
we have it now. The evidence in this
case showed that the saloons were
the center of nearly all the corrup-
ton in the election at Terre Haute."
BE a SpOrt-Vote Dry"
One of the men who has ceased to
be a friend Of liquor and has come
out for prohibition is John L. Sulli-
van, the famous pugilist. A total
abstainer for a number of years, his
statements with regard to the sever
ing of his former relationship with
John Barleycorn are being used in
current campaigns. "Be a sport,
vote dry" is the advice of Mr.. Sulli-
van. In telling the story of his rea-
son for cutting out booze, he says:
John Barleycorn was the real heavy
weight champion. | was not knock
ed out by Jim Corbett, but by Jim
Jams. Booze strikes man below
the belt. The booze game is a game
no one can beat. Every fellow thinks
he can, but if he don't let it alone it

Nowadays a man can't drink and

now, no matter how good he is. There
has been a big change in the last
thirty years. Some day John Bar
leycorn will receive the Knockout

country when there will be no sa-

Alcohol and Endurance

The muscular apparatus becomes
fatigued much sooner under the in
fiuence of alcohol than without. One
often hears it said that alcohol in
creases endurance, makes it easier
for the Woodworking man to recup-
crate. But experiments have shown
that alcohol at the most can only
deaden the unpleasant feeling of
fatigue BY the deadening of the
sense of fatigue man delays giving
his body the rest it needs and exerts
himself beyond his strength. The
feeling of WEAKNESS is the safety
valve of our organism which protects
it from over-exertion. But the use
of quantity of alcohol sufficient to
deaden the sense of fatigue has dis
advantageous effect on the work Of
the next day. In the morning on
arising one feels more weary than
when he went to bed, and tires more
easily during his work than he would
have done without the previous even
ing's drink.
Athletics and Endurance Tests
Army marching tests have proved
on a large scale that alcohol is a dis
tinct hindrance to muscular power.
Without it, men march farther with
less fatigue. Connie Mack, manager
Of the Philadelphia Athletic" said in
1910 of the team which won the
world base ball championship that Is
Of the 25 players "did not even know
the taste of liquor" and predicted
that in five years 90 per cent of all
base ball players would be strictly
temperate.

Despite inclement weather, the May
Day festivities and the Flag raising
exercises were signal success in

announced in the Press, was adhered
to with the exception that the cere-
monies of the raising of the Flag were
postponed from 1890 to 2:30 p. m.
Pupils and teachers of the Athena
public schools, starting at the school
building, headed by Eugene Osborne
-on horseback, marched through the
streets in grade divisions. costumed
for the occasion. The many features
of the parade were unique and each de-
serves special mention. The dainty
flower fairies, farmer boys, red cross
damsels, representatives of militia and
navy, Uncle Sam and Columbia-with
many other costumes and imperson-
ations, all combined to make very
patriotic and interesting display. The
parade was followed by citizens on
foot and in automobiles to the school
grounds where the forenoon exercises
took place at the East entrance to the
High school building.

MUCH BUILDING ACTIVITY
IS NOTED IN ATHENA

The starting Of the business building
by the First National Bank on its lot
adjoining the bank building on the
west seems to have been an incentive
for other building improvements in
Athena and vicinity.
Robert Coppock is building bung-
allow and garage on his lots, at the
corner of Fourth and adams streets.
Contractor Proctor is doing the con-
struction work. The building will rest
on concrete foundation and the plans
and specifications call for modern
bungalow.
Scott Fisher and Floyd Putnam are
constructing a fine new house and barn
for Clifford Stone west of town. This
residence also will be Of the bungalow
design and will cost when completed
approximately $4,000.
Fisher & Putnam also have the con-
tract for the wood work in the Bank
building. The concrete work for the
basement of this structure is now un-
der way and the brick for the walls is
being put on the ground.
The hcme of Mr.. and Mrs. B. B.
Richards is being enlarged by the ad-
EDITION now in course of construction.
A new kitchen, porches, ETC., are be-
ing added, and the interior remodeled.
The carpenter work is being done by
Mr.. Richards brother, ]. G. Richards,
and d. G. Busby of Corvallis.
1t is understood that other new res
licences will be built in Athena during
the summer. and fall. At least two
parties purchased fine building lots near
the City Park, last autumn, and it is
probable that they will build this year.

the present war are woefully short of
every kind of food.
The farmers will be urged to do
their utmost to produce a maximum

Several speakers reported that farm
ers in some localities hesitate about
seeding an increased acreage under the
apprehension that a possible overpro-

Nearly every man reported lament
able shortage of grain, hay and live
stock in every part of the state. Even
more serious is the apparent shortage
