MILLIONS ENJOY
{. UNUSUAL THRILL
h IN RARE COFFEE
Patented Roasting Process
Gives Hills Bros. Coffee
a. Distinctive Flavor

By radically different process
of flavor-control, Hills Bros. have
given their rare blend Of coffee
flavor such as no other coffee has.
"a little at time" is the basis
of this patented process-Con-
trolleG Roasting. A constant
stream of green coffee is introduced
into the roasters in automatically
measured lots of about three
pounds, and passes through in
steady flow, roasting n little at a
time. The heat is automatically
controlled so any variation in the
roast is absolutely prevented.
Such uniformity of the roast is
not possible by bulk methods. In
spite of watchful care some of the
coffee is roasted too much-some
too little. Flavor variation is there
fore inevitable.
As fast as Hills Bros. Coffee is
roasted, it is ground and packed in
vacuum. By this process air, which
destroys the flavor OF coffee, is
taken from the can, and kept out.
Ordinary cans, even if air-tight,
will not keep coffee fresh. Ask for
Hills Bros. Coffee by name and look
for the Arab--the trade-mark-on
the can. Sold everywhere by grocers.

4 TTRACTIVE garniShing and

nomic measures we'll worth care
ful consideration. Simple. every
day dishes gain new interest and
the little extra time invested in
dressing up the daily meals will
yield ample returns in pleasure
and profit.
One of the simplest methods CT
improving the appearance of the
ordinary meat-potatoes-and-yeg-
etable meal is to arrange the po-
tatoes or starchy food in the form
of border with the meat in the
center and the other vegetables as
a "garnish" on the outside. Plain,
homely fare presents an attractive
aud festive appearance when sery-
ed in this fashion
Potato Used as Border
Mashed potato is perhaps the
simplest and easiest border TO pre-
pare. Rice or thoroughly mash
potatoes. Then for each two cups
of mashed potato. add table
spoons of hot milk or cream. 1-2
teaspoon salt and tablespoons
melted butter. More milk may be
needed to make the potatoes the
right consistency. Beat with slot
ted potato masher or slotted spoon
until light Butter a deep pan or
bowl on the outside and place il
i'll the center of a hot platter or
chop plate. Press a mound of the
potatoes around this and then re-
move bowl or pan and fill with
creamed fish. meat or eggs. Re-
heat for moment and arrange
remaining vegetables around out
side of potato mold.
Sweet potatoes or squash can be
used for border in place of Irish
potatoes with excellent effect.
