Interior Of the first Roosevelt coffee
house in Ne,U York

edge from my work in medicine to
vouch for the fact that Mr.. Salazar's
ideas about making coffee and drink
ing coffee are absolutely sound. His
method certainly brings out the
essential oils and reduces the
amount of fannie acid. Another fea-
ture OF our coffee houses is that Mr.
Salazar will teach any patron his
method of making coffee, and he
sells the kind of coffee we USE"
In "War in the Garden Of Eden"
a book recently published by Kermit
Roosevelt, he lays particular stress
on his experiences in the coffee
bazaars Of Mesopotamia, where he
served with the British forces. His
interest in coffee houses for this
country was undoubtedly stimu-
lated by his experiences in the East.
However, as Kermit Roosevelt
points out, it is sometimes the Gus
tom in those delightful coffee
bazaars of Bagdad for the proprie-
tor to poison intelligence officers
with whom he has fallen out.

quented than it was to know his
home address.
Not many women frequented the
early English coffee houses, because
in those days there wasn't the
slightest doubt about woman's place,
which was somewhere between the
kitchen and the dining room. Times
changed, and the Gladstone coffee
houses accommodated women to
the extent Of 5 per cent of their
patronage. In the Roosevelt coffee
houses women are as welcome as
men, and thus far the attendance
has been about half and half, almost
every American man bringing at
least one woman.
Boston, New York and Philadel-
phia had many coffee houses at the
time of the Revolutionary War. The
increase in the consumption of
liquors was the cause of the disap-
pearance of the coffee houses for
which New York was once famous.
FRITZ Lindinger, who now holds the
title to what was the first coffee
house in New York, EYE Olde Coffee
House," which was established IN
der that name at los Broad Street.
in New York, says it does not
matter any longer whether people
know where his tavern is or whether
they ignore it. Mr.. Lindinger has
used the old coffee house for MANY
years as a tavern. Since prohibi-
ton he declares that he cannot sell
anything worth while. Coffee does
not interest him. The house, as it
stands on the northeast corner of
Broad and Water streets, is the
same building which was built
in 1746, except that one story has
been added and the outside wooden
stairway, which was the only ap.
proach to the upper floors in Wash
ington's day, has been removed. The
