How Coffee Trees Grow

Coffee usually is spoken of ms
berry or bean. but that part of the
coffee tree that we use is really the
seed. Tho trees grow naturally to "a
height of from 90 to - feet, but this
natural growth is checked by the
growers. who keep the trees as low
rs five feet. The cutting does not in
jnre the tree and it is far more con-
vcnient to gather the fruit.
The coffee tree begins to bear when
il is about three years old and II con-
tinucs for about twenty years. the
singular fact about 1t being often no
ticeable that tho fresh blossom and
the fipened fruit will appear on the
same tree Mt the same time.
The fruit Of the coffee tree is
round and red and looks like our
cherries and. being sweet to tho
taste is eaten hy the natives AZ we
eat cherries. Each berry contains
two seeds. the beans with which we
are familiar. incloscd in a skin,
with their fiat sides together. The
IN t of the fruit Is valueless. so
when the fruit Is gathered It Is dried
50 that the seeds may be easily re-
moved
How coffee first came tn he used
as Il drink is not known. but II has
been so used for at lenst thousand
years in Persia. II was introduced
in Europe about three hundred
years ago.

Doctor Orders
Radio for Sick

Tho use of radio receiving sets in
hospitals has become fairly common,
bat it remained for a Massachusetts
doctor to prescribe set for one OF
the patients he was treating in her
own home.
For some time he had been the
family physician of two middle al ed
women living on Il rather lonely
farm. One of the sisters had been
under his care constantly for an
obscure condition which seemed to
be growing chronic. A consultation
of physicians revealed no organic
trouble. and the conclusion was
reached that the patients ailment
was more mental than physical.
II happened tlrat the doctor was a
radio fan. and the thought Of a radio
set for the patient suggested Itself.
and he promptly prescribed one.
The price of complete set, how
ever, seemed prohibitive. so he adj
vised the sisters 10 build one. They
wouldn't have been more surprised IL
he had asked them to build an aero
plane. But the doctor loaned them
his own set until he could go TO town
and buy the parts for one of them.
He chose a four tube Reflex because
of It's simplicity of construction and
ease OF operation. He found that one

off the bat. and they are rapidly be-
coming ardent radio fans. Mean

ton in the set, ceased to be sick and
