LESSONS IN THE ART OF KISSING
10y JUNE ELvIDGE, World Film
Start

Is kissing going out OF style?
Some persons say It Is. But the
combined opposition OF doctors, po-
liceInen and film censors will never
succeed in discouraging the oge-old
custom of kissing.
so long as there are life and youth
and love in the world, men viii ueek
the lips of their beloved ones and
women will yield their lips to men,
for there exists some deeply i'm
planted psychological reason for the
custom of kissing, and 1t is n part OF
human nature. And all the doctors,
all the laws, and all the censors are
powerless In the face OF human
nature!
Kisses are as the flowers of the
field for variety and kind, and they
can be utilized as a vehicle for con-
veying almost any kind of emotion,
from treachery to extreme passion.
The best kiss girl ever gets, in
my opinion, is the stolen kiss"
have called it that, but no girl is
ever really surprised into kiss. She
may not quite know when 1T is COM

be a surprise, but-here is a secret
young man-when you think you are
surprising her, It is only the cul-
mination of her own well-laid plans!
Do you think for moment that
she hasn't made you want to kiss
her? And If you want to badly
enough, then you will scrape up
the necessary courage. The stolen
kiss" is innocent of any great emo
ton, yet 1t is one of the sweetest
any girl can get--for 1t is the proof
that her dream Is coming true. The

Six Ways You Can Make Coffee That

Six Ways You Can Make coffee That
VIII Surprise You.
Every so often l hear the wail--and
1t comes from experienced housekeep-
ers as well as young ones-"How can
l. make good coffee?"
1t seems almost an occult art, for
some women take to making delicious.
aromatic coffee almost without knowing
how they do it. Ad so many con-
scientious ones slave over the problem
in vain.
Here are a group of tried and true
methods that ought to produce delicious
coffee-provided you have the basis OF
a good brand to begin with, and the
right utensils to cook them with.
American coffee.
II 1t Is not made In a percolator the
coffee should be finely ground. but not
pulverized. 1t should be measured. and
level tablespoonful allowed for each
cup of water.
Pour the cold water over the coffee
and bring rapidly to the boiling point.
AS soon as the liquid boils remove 1t
to a cool part OF the range. Allow to
stand for q moment, then add one
fourth of cuptul of cold water to clear
and settle ii. Let it stand again for
a short period before serving.
Always serve pure cream with coffee
if you wish 1t to be delicate and aro-
matte. This helps to make the bever-
age delicious.
French Coffee.
For cafe noir use two tablespoonfuls
of finely ground coffee for each cup.
Coffee should be packed as tightly as
possible in the upper part OF the French
pot. and the boiling water poured on It,.
When the water has dripped through.

Partisan housekeepers. before throw
ing out the grounds, pour boiling water
through the coffee again, reserving this
| for use next time coffee is made. Much
of the flavor of French coffee is said
to be due to this practice.
English Coffee.
Place two ounces of moderately f1ne
| ground coffee in stewpan and without
( adding water hold over the fire, stir
ring with spoon until the coffee is
very hot
Over the coffee pour a pint of boiling
| wafer and cover very tightly. Remove
| at once from the fire and let stand
| for five minutes. Then strain through
a CLOTH heat and serve with or with
| out cream.
Drip Coffee.
Use drip pot. one having cloth
| bag. Wet the bag, place the coffee in
| it, and pack 1t as tightly as possible
| around the sides and bottom. Pour
| in slowly three cupfuls of water to
| each half-cupful of powdered coffee.
| Place the pot on the back of the range
| or. on an asbestos mat with only enough
| flame under to keep warm. and pour
the water slowly. Serve as soon as
| dripped with cream or cream and hot
| milk.
Filtered Coffee.
One-half cupful of pulverized coffee.
Four cupfuls of boiling water.
Put the coffee into bag or filter. add
boiling water gradually. Pour through
a second time or even a third time If
preferred strong. Do not boil. Serve
with hot milk and cream. Wash coffee
pot and bag thoroughly and dry in the
sun If possible. Renew bag often.
DemI Tasse.
One-half cupful of pulverized coffee.
Two cupfuls of boiling water.
Put the coffee into a filter pot add
boiling water and filter three times.

A Little Advice
BY FTTZHUGH LEE.

ID FIILdOGh LEE.
 The writer has been down in some of the Alabama cotton counties, where the boil weevil is rampant. He has noticed some of the articles appearing in the newspapers giving advice as to what is the best thing to do to eradicate the pest He has seen the boil weevil traps that are being sold in some towns. He is also somewhat conversant with some of the chemicals and solutions that are being advertised to the public as being a pos sible exterminator.
 Now as the pages of your valued paper are open to discussion of this kind, the writer would like to suggest an idea that he has. He has never tried it, and so cannot vouch for it as cure However, he knows it to be a cure for many kinds of germs and insects, and 1t might De good to kill the boil weevt. If it does not kill them the user of same would not have lost very much. For the ingred- tents are cheap, and are to be had almost anywhere. Here is the formula:
 Common sulphur, 5 pounds. Common unslacked lime, pounds. Ordinary water 50 gallons.
 Directions: Mix all of this into large iron syrup kettle or other suitable boiler and boil for 90 minutes. Let set or re- move into suitable ,container. Then if very strong to the taste add 30 more gal Ions of plain water. Then use as spray with sprinkling pot or other suitable de- vice It might be well to test the mix ture on a cotton plant before covering any large number of plants. This solu- tion is a solution of Calcium or lime sul- phide It is bottled and sold all over the United States under various names. It is used for the common itch in men. mango on dogs and the extermination of various insects. It will be noted that the cost of 100 gallons, outside of labor and fuel, would be but a few cents.
