American Improvements

One of the most important of
these improvements involves the
method of roasting. The old ma
chimes roasted the article in large
quantities, but by the most modern
method of roasting, coffee is
passed in small quantities through
perforated tubes revolving over
carefully regulated fires. This
permits constant ventilation and a
purifying circulation of fresh air
which carries off the fumes and
prevents their absorption by the
roasting coffee. This machine roasts
small quantities at time but, as
the operation is continu JUS, the
total output is far grea ;er than
by the old method.
1t is such improvements in treat
ment, and the consequent improve
ment in the quality of Il e coffee
on the table, that have contributed
most, aside from the inherent vir-
tues of the berry, to mr. Ike coffee
both the national drink OF America,
and the worlds most universal
beverage. The domain of Coffee
dom stands with Great Britain and
the United States as a realm on
which the sun never sets.

TO Demonstrate
Fake Miracles
At M. E. Church

Demonstration Of fake miracles -
and thrilling expose of the meth
DDS employed by fraudulent mediums
is promised by Mrs. Crawford Trot-
ter on her appearance at the Metho-
dist church tomorrow night ct 1880.
Combined with program of mu.
sic, lightning sketches and rare
lantern slides revealing closely
guarded secrets, Mrs. Trottcr will
entertain with some tricks that ap.
pear to border on the supernatural.
She maintains that all so-callcd psy
chic phenamena can be duplicated
by natural means.
Mrs. Trotter has won rcnown as
an authority on crystal. gazing, but
perhaps her most sensational exhi-
bition is the reading of messages
and the answering of questions, sol
dercd in a safety deposit box before
she is allowed to touch the box.
Spirit pictures will be obtained by
her under the most exacting condi.
tions. She generally announces i'm
mediately after outwitting her aud
fence that no supernatural aid &C.
romplished the result. Slate mes
sages to unknown persons present
reveal an intimate knowledge of the
affairs of those receiving the mes
sagc. Somehow, in tho full light of
closest observation, the messages do
appear.

be given under the auspices of the

Farther to the East, in Arabia and

Imperial Valley press., 1927-01-25

The preparation of the coffee
drunk in the coffee houses of the
East is an elaborate affair. Ground
coffee is put into a small uncov-
cred brass pot with long handle.
Then it is boiled to a froth three
times on a charcoal burner, with
or without sugar as you prefer,
but to .desecrate it with cream is
an unheard of sacrilege. When
the coffee is finally ready it is
poured into an after-dinner coffee
cup or miniature bowl and served
on tray with a glass of water to
be drunk before the coffee.
European Coffee Cafes
Coffee as it is drunk in Europe
is prepared in a manner very
similar to that IN vogue in the
United States, but a large proper
ton of the coffee drinking in con-
tinental countries takes place in
the cafes or on the sidewalks in
front of them.
Before the war Vienna was
famous as the "City of Coffee. "
The cafes We're filled after the
noon meal when busy men took
their coffee and smoked. They

Abyssinia before the dawn of his
tory. The Twentieth Century has
seen 1t become the national drink
Of America. But IN its long and
circuftous travels from Abyssinia

World, coffee has visited many
lands, and the people of each of
these lands have developed charac-

In these countries the serving Of
coffee is a part of the ritual o.
business. Shop-keepers serve it t.
a customer before the bargaining
starts. But it is in the coffee
houses that the ceremonial reache:
its full flower. An American
traveller writes as follows:
"In Turkey I have seen
newcomer salute one after
another each person in
crowded offee-house, once on
entering the door and again
after taking his seat, and be
SO saluted in return-either
by putting the right hand to

greeting "Merhabah," or by
making the temennah, that
triple sweep of the hand which
is the most graceful of sal

Editorial Comment
'Alf and ALI Football
Est. Paul Dispatch)

(St. Paul DlSpatch)
The University Of North Dakota football
team will play the University of Manitoba foot
ball team at Winnipeg next Saturday in most
unusual game. For one half the game will be
played according to American rules and for the
other half according to Rugby rules. A brief
interchange Of coaches between the institutions
had been arranged to give the players instruc-
tons as to the vital differences in the playing
rules and methods.
Ordinarily the game would have been re-
garded as of no moment or merely freak. But
the new American rules permitting the lateral
or back pass have brought the two systems
nearer each other, such passes being a vital
feature Of the Rugby game The test will be
watched with interest by all who note the evo-
luton of American football and it's trend which
might almost be called atavstic, toward the
game from which it sprung.
The American system, following the national
bent, has been based upon organization and the
machine. The Rugby system, following the
British mode of thought, has been individual.
istic and less machine-like. Interference as
we know it, would be impossible for the team
mate running ahead Of the ba.carrier would
be off-side To make up for this, the lateral
and back pass developed and opened the game
while possession of the ball only existed as long
as it was carried and was settled each time by
the scrim.
1t is in the acceptance of the new pass rule
that the change back toward the elder form
Of the game is seen, and the game at Winnipeg
may have much to do with proving it's value to
the spectator and to the player.
