A Cup Of Good Coffee

AS coffee has become the ~favorite
morning and after, dinner beverage
there seems to be something prophetic
fee plant resemble laurel in form.
Southern Abyssinia is said to be the
mother country Of the coffee plant.
In 1900 a Mohammedan high priest
introduced coffee into Arabia. The
rapidity with which the beverage
gained favor is phenomenal. BY 1854
coffee houses had sprung up in Cairo,
Syria. Venice and Constantinople.
These were thronged with people.
BY 1869 coffee had become the ia
iorite drink in France.
The story goes that all the coffee
now cultivated in the western hemi-
sphere had its origin from a plant
forwarded to the French West Indies
by Louis ".
Caffeol is the important constituent
Of coffee. This it is hat imparts the
wonderful aroma n favor. The 9TH
err two factors are tannin. which is
which is the stimulant and to be tx
tracted only in small amounts.
The process to make the best cup
of coffee is that by which the most
caffeol is extracted in the shortest
time. The coffee bean contains thou
sands of tiny cells made up OF caf-
feol: The outside shells contain the
tanic acid. The finer coffee is ground
or pulveried the greater surface there
will be exposed at once and the more
quickly the hot water can act to lib
crate the caffeol.
Select a quality. brand Of coffee and
grind it just before using, for best
results.
Drip Coffee.
6 heaping tsp. finely ground coffee.
5 C. fresh boiling water.
Rinse the pot with hot water. Place
the finely ground or pulveried coffee
in the drip bag. pour the freshly boil
ed water or coffee in the drip bag
and after it, has dripped through re-
move bag from pot and coffee is ready
to serve. When making less then four
cups pour coffee through dripping
bag second time.

Shortcomings for
the Present Use

Without fat the human being car
not live. The Frenchmcn in German
prisons are dying of tuberculosis for
lack of fat in their food.
Fat is high in energy giving value
since it gives 2 IA times as much en-
ergy as any other food.
Germany has found new ways Of
getting fat since she began the war.
As early as the first year of the war
she was extracting fats from fruit
seeds and stones and from nuts of
various kinds.
Fats are necessary in making
gun powder, also. Nitro glycerin is
made from fats and nitro glycerin is
one of the main ingredients used in
making gun powder. This makes fats
doubly important now hat we are at
war
Mr.. Hoover tells us we need twelve
ounces Of fat per adult per week and
six n of fat per child.
An oil is a; fat in liquid form and
Is suitable for frying but. not for
body" or consistency.
For deep fat frying use fats which
reach a high temperature before
burning. Butter should never be used
in frying because it 'burns'' at a low
temperature.
Sauteing is cooking in a small
amount of fat, as we cook friend po-
tatoes," or hash.
Drippings may be used as seasoning
for vegetables in sauteing or for
shortening.
Egg Plant.
Egg Plant may be pared and cut
into thin slices; dropped into boiling
water for fifteen or twenty minutes.
Drain off h water n pack the
slices in the jar. Cover with water
n sterilize under the directions
given. The slices of egg plant are pill
able and may be taken from the jar
without being broken, dripped in egg
and crumbs and fried in vegetole or
made into a pudding and baked.

Carry Out Number Of Successful
Raids and Inflict Heavy Losses.

Washington. March 4.-Conotinued
preparatory movements on the part of
the Germans on the western front are
noted today by the war department In
Its review Of the week Of March 2.
The momentum OF battle IS increas-
Ing" the statement declared, citing at
tempts of the enemy to reach Ameri-
can lines as an example of what IS
taking place along the entire front.
Definite announcement is made that
American forces have taken over a
sector northwest of Toul and that q
number Of detached units are in oper-
alton in the Lorraine.
Six Teuton columns are operating In
Russia and to only one Of these - the
column moving toward Vitebsk-is any
opposition noted.
Turkish forces advancing in the
Caucasus are meeting with little re-
sistance and are massdcr.ng Armenian

Russians Destroy Bridges on Eastern

Russians Destroy Bridges on Eastern
Division Of Siberian Railroad.
Washington, March 4.-The Rus
SLAMS have begun destroying bridges
on the Trans Siberian railway between
Baikal and the Chinese frontier. John
F. Stevens chairman Of the American
railway mission, reported this today to
. the state department. This may pre-
vent Ambassador Francis from reach
ing vladivostok.
While without details officials here
believe the Russians are destroying
bridges to prevent an expected ad-
vance Of Japanese troops. Other struc-
lures have been mined, Mr. Stevens
reports.
The only other explanation for de-
stroying the railways which officials
here can think Of Is the fact that there
Is German prison camp near Chita,
and that the Germans may have blown
up the bridges with the purpose Of
stopping Japanese troops or to inter-
cept Ambassador Francis.
To Occupy Finland.
Germany's occupation Of the Aland
Islands Is only preliminary to the
total occupation Of Finland. Official
dispatches to the Swedish legation to-
day say Germany announced to the
Swedish foreign office they intend to
occupy Finland.
Germany has told Sweden that the
Germans must temporarily occupy
Finland to insure safety.
Sweden protested against the Aland
Islands being placed in the war zone.

without finding them. He returned
and asked for volunteers to make an
other search. Every man volunteered.
He picked out a few men and sailed
forth but they were forced to return
when the German fire became more
intensive. All the missing men came
from New England.
Men Eager For Action.
The \American general commanding
the unit on this front said the men
were eager for action and were con-
tinually asking permission to remain
in the front line longer than the al
loted period. 1t has been found Nee
essary to caution them frequently
against exposing themselves. SO anx-
ious are they to get at them"
The French general who trained
these troops is proud Of the showing
they are making. An American cap
tain said:
"They called us tin soldiers in Amer
lea less than year ago, but I guess
we are delivering the goods just the
same"
Between 500 and 1,5oO gas shells are
thrown on the American portion Of the
Chemin des Danes each day, but there
have been no serious Ct qualities from
gas there. The men have been thor
oughly trained in the use Of tx gas
masks. They do not find 1t incon-
venient to work and fight like divers"
as they say. A few men have been
gassed slightly but this is inevitable
when shells are thrown a long dis
tance.
Asks For Military Citation.
A brigadier general and major who
were on a tour Of inspection a few
days ago were slightly gassed when
a shell burst near their car. They suf
fered no Ill effects.
An American general today said he
had asked for a military citation for
each member Of raiding party Of
twenty-six of his men which assisted
the French in a raid on Feb. 23 Two
officers and two men OF the raiding
party have been decorated by the
French with the war cross. This Is
the first request for honors which has
been made for Americans in this sec
