boiling water is poured over the grounds

The Marion Harland Coffee Pot using the
htratlon principle, looks like any straight
sided pot, but has a narrow cylindrical inset.
Which IS covered at its lower end by a fine
wire screen. The coffee grounds are
placed in this and the boiling water poured
INTO the inset. perforated plate permits
this water to drip onto the grounds, and ex
traction takes place. Only few minutes are
required, and when the water has dropped
through the grounds the inset should be re-

The degree of fineness for the coffee depends
on the method of preparing it. Some house
keepers believe that granulation and
boiling for a short time are two essentials for
good coffee. Science declares the contrary is
true freshly prlverized coffee and fresh
rapidly boiling water passing over the grounds
once are held to be the two most important
factors in making good coffee
1t IS difficult to give any hard and fast rules
IN coffee making for two reasons: First, the
matter Of personal taste plays large part
one mans favorite coffee does not suit the
next man at all-and a coffee that is excellent
with cream may not be satisfactory brew to
serve black.
Again, many factors enter into the problem
and lnteract on each ether. 1t is conceded
that good coffee" depends almost equally on
the grade and kind of coffee used the roast
and the method of making the beverage.

Even if you only put up dozen cans, this,
multiplied by 20,O00,0OO would mean the add-

1t is just essential to can your quota of

II large amount of canning is done it is

special skill is necessary, but with experience
speed is acquired and sealing one hundred an

To insure that purchasers of the Sealer

of one hundred or more at the rate of 1856 per

With tin cans there is no exhaust of the
liquid due to variation of pressure and the
open jar, and therefore with this method the
time is considerably reduced both during the
processing and between loads
Tomatoes
For canning it is best to use firm tomatoes
of medium size and uniform ripeness. Place
in a wire basket and lower into boiling water
for one to one and half minutes, in order to
loosen the skin, then dip quickly into cold
water. Remove skins and pack tightly into
jars. Add one teaspoonful of salt to each

The Case Against
Boiled Coffee
Tribune Institute

The old practice Of boiling coffee is fast dis
appearing, because science is gradually con-
vincing the cook that boiling the coarser
grlndings in order to bring out the flavor and
strength is far inferior method to grinding
the coffee bean more finely and fltering it. In
making the boiled beverage a medium granu
lated coffee is placed in the pot with cold
water and boiled for five minutes little
cold water poured into the coffee settles it and
it is then ready for serving The longer coffee
is boiled the more muddy" it becomes. be-
cause of the breaking down Of the fibrous
material of the bear. The boiling of coffee
also lowers it's quality. because the longer it
stands on the grounds the more tannin is ex-
tracted. the more bitter it is and the more un-
Wholesome 1T becomes. 1t is, therefore. a
method to be discouraged in the opinion of all
chemists ard most cooks, though some still pro-
test fondness for the old-fashioncd boiled
coffee, made with egg, and claim for it
more richness, body and aroma.
Many housekeepers use eggs or crushed
shells to settle the boiled coffee The egg AL
oumln coats the grounds, making them heav
Ter, so that they will sink to the bottom. This
custom does not improve the flavor at all. and
the clearing can be more easily ACCOMPLISHED

popular form of percoator is the electri
cally heated type, which can be used from a
lamp socket, and even beginning with cold
water percolation starts within minute.
The percolatng device is like any other but
the heating element is in the form of small
cylinder, over which the stem of the percolat
ing device fits
precauton necessary in using electric
percoators is not to immerse the entire an
pllance when washng thus wetting the base
where the electrical connection is made.
The Universal electric percolators are fitted
with safety device which automatically breaks
the electric circuit when the water has boiled
off and the appliance itself is becoming heated
to temperature which would iniure it. In
this way an expensive machine is protected
from the certain ruin that would result from
such forgetfulness
The urn style of percolator, which is more
attractive and graceful in design than the
pot type operates similarly, but is larger in
capacity.
