The young statesman was en-
barrassed early in his career by the
opposition of his constituents to a
separation from Great Britain, and it
was not until June, 1875, that the
Maryland Convention withdrew its
restrictions upon the votes of dele
gates in Congress. He was a mem
Der of the State Legislature from
1771 to 1774, and was a member of
the Committee of Correspondence in
1774. He was a delegate to Con-
gress' from 1774-1779 and signed
the Declaration of Independence.
When the Constitution of Mary
land was adopted Paca was made
State Senator. Other offices which
he held were Chief Justice of the
Superior Court of Maryland and
Chief Judge of the Court of Appeals
in prize and admiralty cases. He
was Governor of his State for four
years, was a delegate to the State

OLD LETTERS

Twas dear old fashioned parlor,
with mantle high and wide,
On it box, of letters, neatly with
blue ribbon tied,
And when mother opened it, the
children standing by,
And read them over one again,
they'd hear her softly sigh,
For her first born wrote them to her
from the battle. field away,
Where he, tho but lad, had
fastened one sad day.
But the children saw but pictures,
and gazed with childish awe,
At the cannons black and wicked, the
horses had to draw;
And soldiers marching gayly, the
flags a waving high;
They licked the pictures we'll, but
they made their mother cry.
And the colors, oh. so pretty all
white and blue and red;
A stately man a riding right at the
very head;
One soldier, was the brother, a
marching with his drum,
They fancied it was saying, Come
We soldiers come
Well fight the battles bravely, and
vanquish all the foe,
And then with quickened footsteps,
our homeway we'll CO."
The mother put the letters back, and
tied the box up tight,
And the children dreamed of flags
and drums, and soldiers all the
night.
One day sound burst on the air,
the rolling of drum,
A soldier boy was beating the tune
of " Home Sweet Home"
The mother all a smiling with joy,
was oh, so glad,
For there unframed before her,
straight aand tall, her soldier
lad.

No Secrets to Making
Perfect Cup Of Coffee
Can Be Achieved BY Following 4 Fey Simple
Rules Says Famous Cooking Expert
BY Mildred Maddocks Bentley
Formerly Director of Good Housekeeping Insfituts

What is the secret of first-rate coffee
tho kind that starts the day right
that makes you feel "like million
dollars?
Literally hundreds of womcn-and q
surprising number Of men-have asked
me this question in one form or an
other. And it's an important one--for
what can be more blighting to domestic
happiness than cup of muddy coffee
or coffee improperly "creamed"? And,
ON the contrary, what can be more ex-
hilarating than good cup-fragrant,
golden, delicious?
Luckily there's no hidden secret
about making and serving the perfect
coffee-it's just matter Of minding
your p's and as and following few
simple directions.
Selection of Coffee 49,
There are many excellent brands of
coffee in the market-the choice of one
of these is largely matter of individ-
ual taste. But do want to say that
usually coffee in the bean retains its
flavor longer than in the ground form
so, if possible, buy the whole beans
and grind your coffee fresh for each
meal If, however, the breakfast hour
or fifteen minutes-is too hectic to
admit of this extra step, at least keep
your ground coffee in an air tight con-
tainer-a glass fruit jar for instance.
And it's we'll to remember that the
more finely the coffee is ground, the
easier it is to extract its full strength
and faYor-consequentl Underground
coffee is economical and time-saving.
The Coffee Pot
Connoisseurs maintain that coffee
brewed in a metal pot has a less deli
cate flavor than in container of glass,
stone-ware or agate. Whatever kind
Of coffee pot you prefer-it should be
secured frequently and occasionally
"boiled out" with water to which a
pinch of baking soda has been added
then rinsed, dried, and left uncovered
If a percolator is used, the pipe
should be carefully washed every day
with brush to remove all scum from:
the preceding brew
For drip coffee, if you do not have q
special drip coffee pot, an ordinary one
equipped with double cheesecloth
bag will serve the purpose. The cheese
cloth should be washed in cold water
after using and renewed at least once
a week. Keep the bag always moist.
The Dreaming
This consider quite as important as
the actual brewing. Good coffee can s.

MARYLAND CROPS

John S. Dennee, Federal Agricul-
tural Statistician for Maryland, re-
ports the following crop conditions
in Maryland for the month OK
September ::
September brought few changes
in Maryland crop conditions, but
those few were generally for the
better. The weather was the major
influence and it was for the most
not bad for the farmers. At the
close of the month the composite OF
condition of all crops was 1O7.7%,
an Improvement of 1.6% from
September l. From all parts of the
State come reports that most crops
have been made and that harvesting,
gathering or digging is. going on
rapidly. The corn crop is dis
appointing. The hay crops are,
short. Many oats of impaired
quality were saved Notwithstanding
the wet days and brooding SKIES
Pastures are unusually good for the;
season. Late potatoes range from.
medium fair to very good. Sweets
are better than average. Tobacco
cutting and housing are done. The
weed is large and apparently heavier
than usual, but curing badly, accord
ing to the growers. The big wheat
yields and the super-abundance OF
orchard fruits, particularly apples.
are the surprises of this crop-year.
Farm labor is reported shorter than
a month ago.

easily be spoiled by using cream OF in
ferior quality or the stop of the bottle"
if carelessly poured off. In my study
of food habits, am finding that every
year more and more people prefer
sweetened condensed milk in their cof-
fee. You, see this Kind is twice as rich
and creamy as ordinary milk and fur
thermore already contains Sugar, thus
serving the additional purpose of
sweetening the coffee. Try it for
few days, and l think you will agree
that the condensed milk gives delight
fully rich, smoothly blended drink,
bringing out the real coffee flavor
And of course it is very convenient, as
it keeps fresh without ice even after .
the can is opened-and the cost is ex.
tremely moderate.
Now as to the actual methods Of
brewing. There are several and your
choice is entirely a matter of individ-
ual taste. If the directions are care
fully followed, any of the methods will
yield the perfect cup of coffee"-mel-
low in flavor, with delicate, fragrant
aroma, free from sediment and of a
dark golden hue.

Striking Proof
OF Advances In
Telephone Art

At the Centennial Exposition in
Philadelphia in 1876, one Of the most
interesting and undoubtedly the most
valuable exhibit was the newly in
vented telephone which was being
displayed to the public for the first
time by Alexander Graham Bell. AT
the Centennial, however, the tele.
phone was only an withdrawing
more.
At the Sesqui-C Centennial now in
progress in Philadelphia, the tele-
phone is really the nerve center of
the exposition. Every building is
making use of its>service. The giant
stadium, with q seating capacity Of
100000 people. is splendidly equipped
with loud speaker system. Public
telephones are to be found every
where, and the thousands Of people
attending the exposition accept the
telephone service as matter Of
course, as part of the general
scheme Of things, Just as II it had
always existed.
What a contrast with conditions
fifty years ago, when there were but
two telephones in the entire EXPOSE
ton and they were exhibits which at
tracted attention because Of their
novelty and called forth many queries
and remarks as to the genuineness of
the invention. In fact, many people
believed it was hoax and that 1t
was merely question Of time before
the secret would become public as to
''how the thing was worked" For
they believed that 1t was worked by
agencies, human and unseen to the
eye.
When the telephone was exhibited
at the Centennial Exposition, it first
occupied an inconspicuous place in
the gallery, but later was removed to
position on the main floor Of the
Main Building. Illustrative of the
great strides which the telephone has
made since that time is the fact that
at the Sesqui-Centennial celebration
the American Telephone and Tele-
graph Company has a large exhibit.
including its own theatre, at which 1t
is showing the advances made in the
art of telephony and is featuring Q
film of talking motion pictures.

Have liver and bacon for dinner
rather than breakfast. For one
thing, people are not demanding the
heavy type of breakfast formerly
eaten. Liver is one of the most i'm
portant meats in regard to the pro-
tein and calories it furnishes the
body, and 1t also contains all three
vitamins. Recent experiments have
shown it to be one of the most
valuable sources of iron in cases of
anemia. No distinction in food
value is made between the various
kinds of liver.

This may be done easily by sewing
the edges of the opening of the

other. The feathers and ticking
are washed separately. Scrub the
feathers in a weak solution of wash
ing soda, using a good suds. Rinse
in two or three lukewarm rinses and
