No Secrets to Making
Perfect Cup Of Coffee
Can Be Achieved By Following A Few Simple
Rules Says Famous Cooking Expert
BY Mildred Maddocks Bentley
Formerly Director of Good Housekeeping Institute

easily be spoiled by using cream of in
ferior quality or the."top of the bottle"
if carelessly poured off. In my study
of food habits, l 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 a
few days, and / think you will agree
that the condensed milk gives a. a.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
bre1oiasg. 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
dark golden hue
Boiled Coffee
Rinse the pot with hot water put coffee in the pot
one rounded tablespoon Of medum-groun cofIee
to each cup Of boiling water, with an addtiona
spoon for the pot" Add little white OF egg. or
crushed egg shell and about one-fourth cup OF cold
water stirring briskIy Add the boiling water. place
the coffee pot heat, and bring to full boil.
Place back OF the stove over low heat for about
ten minutes to SETTLE before serving Do not allow
the coffee to become unsettled by careless pouring
Percolated Coffee
Use one cup OF Underground coffee to six cups of
boiling water Place the coffee in the strainer In the
upper part OF the pot and let the water bubble up
through the tube percoatng through the coffee into
the lower part until the coffee is OF the desired
strength f1ve minutes being the usual time required.
Serve at once. Coiee made in a percolator Is not
good II allowed TO cook after the required strength
is reached.
Heat the pot by rlnsing In hot water and wet the
strainer Measure carefully the coffee (hney ground)
allowing one rounded tablespoon to each cup of
water. Place in the drip-medium and pour ooatng
water through the coffee very slowly Cover and let
stand to drip through and Immediately Do not
allow the brew cool II service delayed place the
pot in or over hot water. Never reheat by placing
STEPPED Coffee
In making steeped coffee rounded tablespoon
coffee to each cup OF water used with an addtiona
spoon for the pot Add cold water Place over the
fire and bring quickly to the boiling point Either let
4 { stand for moment to settle or add little cold
water.
Remember-the best coffee will lose
it's flavor if allowed to stand. Coffee
should always be freshly made and
served piping hot, as soon as it is
brewed. If necessary to let stand, the
pot should be tightly covered and the
spout closed by stufing with soft cloth
or paper, so that none of the aroma
ar flavor may be lost.

What is the secret of frst-rate coffee
the kind that starts the day right
that makes you feel "like million
dollars?
Literally hundreds of women-and a
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 a cup of muddy coffee
or coffee improperly "creamed"? And
on the contrary, what can be more ex-
hilarating than a 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 q's and following a few
simple directions.
Selection of Coffee
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 favor-consequently Underground
coffee is economical and time-saving.
The Coffee Pot
Connoisseurs maintain that coffee
brewed in a metal pot has 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 a
special drip coffee pot, an ordinary one
equipped with a double eheesecloth
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 s.Creamine''
This I consider quite as important as
the actual brewing. Good coffee can so

record as opposing all attempts to
repeal or weaken them.
1--WE pledge our party to strict,
impartial and aggressive enforce
ment OF these, as well as OF all other
laws both State and National"
The plank of the opposition party
simply recites their respect for law
and therefore their pledge to en-
force all the laws upon our statute
books.
Consistently with their platform
pledge read in the light Of current
agitation, any candidate elected
upon that platform might consist
emily advocate and support the re-
peal of all the temperance legisla-
ton upon the statute books and in
the Constitution of the State and
Nation at the present time.
1t is not necessary to say that this
Is their purpose. It Is only neces-
sary to say that meeting in the shad-
of nationwide discussions concern
ing the modification of the Prohibit
tory Law this great political party
did not elect to clarity its stand upon
what is the most fundamental issue
with which we are faced. Three
weeks ago at Old Orchard this
framing of the issues insofar as the
platforms were concerned was clear
ly pointed out.
So long as there Is doubt as to the
position of parties or candidates
upon as fundamental an issue as the
modification Of the NProhibitory Law
of the State of Maine and the Unit
ed States the citizens Of Maine are
likely to regard this question as of
paramount Importance in the deter
mination Of their votes.

sale Of intoxicating drink. In var
cious parts of our country candidates
for public office are running upon
platforms openly pledged to modifi-
cation of this law.
The day has passed when pledge
of law enforcement can longer SUI
flee to conceal ones attitude toward
the more fundamental question of the
modification of this law. A few years
ago there was to little notion of
modification or repeal that a pledge
of enforcement was sufficient but to-
day the situation has completely
changed.
This was recognized by the last
Republican Convention in this State
when under the leadership of Hon.
Percival P. Baxter, as Chairman OF
the Committee on Resolutions, a
plank was inserted declaring in no
uncertain terms the opposition of the
Republican party to any weakening
Of existing laws.
Citizens Of Maine devoted to the
temperance cause and believing that
it is the most profound social reform
of our generation may we'll read and
ponder the implications of the planks
of the two chief political parties in
this State upon this score.
The Republican plank written by
my predecessor and upon which it
is a matter of deep qualification to
stand is as follows:
1--WE are proud of the fact that
our State was the pioneer Prohibi-
ton State of the Union. We re-
affirm our answering loyalty to the
Prohibition Cause as expressed in
the Eighteenth Amendment and laws
supplemental thereto. and go on

Explains Kaiser's
SPIKED Mustache

Omaha, Aug. 13.-P)-The secret
Of Kaiser Wilhelm's spiked effect
mustache is explained by Carl
Schropp of Omaha, who, as personal
barber to the former emperor, oriSi-
mated the famous tonsorial charac-
teristic.
Schropp, who served many of Eu-
ropes royalty until discovered" by
the Kaiser, said: <
''First / would wet the mustache
thoroughly. Then, with my fingers,
I would push the hairs up at either
end until they stood as you have
seen them in pictures. Next took
Schnurbartinde Ca mustache strap,
made Of fine silk, with hooks on end,
and put it over the mustache and at
tach the hooks to the Kaiser's ears.
I used my fingers and a fine comb to
put the hairs just so; then with the
mustache strap on 1t, / would wait
for 1t to dry. After that the Kaiser's
mustache would stay the way be
wanted II. for ,twenty-four hours"
Two hours VeHs the usual time 'spent
by the kaiser in, the royal tonsoriaI
room, Schropp said.
