in the diet she would have to study
more than six hundred scientific
reports-and coffee has probably
been studied less than most foods!
In spite of our leading position
as a coffee-consuming nation-the
average American drinks two cups
a day-there is yet much finesse
to be acquirde In the preparation
of the beverage, as those six hun
dred-odd reports show clearly. The
richest flavor, most delightful
aroma, and most palatable drink
is made by infusing Underground
coffee for about two minutes just
below boiling temperature in a
nonmetallic TT. The beverage
should be separated from the
grounds promptly.
The Drip Method.
When this procedure, known as
the drip method, is followed, the
black infusion is delicious. this
practice is not followed sugar and
cream may be needed to "level
out" the metallic taste from the
pot, or the bitterness from boiling.
This procedure is very similar to
that used in the preparation Of tea,

We celebrate this month the
two hundreth birthday of the
Father of Our Country. Two hun
dred years may seem a long time
to an individual, but 1t Is compare
lively short when 1t comes to ma
lions. Two bundled years ago there
was no United States.
1t was at that time that the
blue-eyed, squallirg baby who was
named George Washington was
born. He was n big baby, but
probably no better looking than
most of his kind. Nobody thought
anything special about him ex-
cepting his mother. She knew, of
course, that he was going to be
the head of something large and
important it turned out to be
these United States.
A Naughty Little Boy
George Washington was one of
the greatest patriots in all history,
and he left behind him the purest
name of modern times-but before
that he was just a little boy.
Cherry tree or no cherry tree, we
believe he was truthful, but he
tore his clothes and got his hands
dirty and the spankings his stern
little mother gave him have re-
echoed down two hundred years.
Washington was a magnificent
character--a calm, audacious gem
eral, never crushed by defeat nor
elated by success, who led his in
experienced little army through
unbelievable difficulties to almost
incredible victory. AS the pres
ident of the feeble little republic
which was to become the great
United States, he was unfailingly
wise and sternly unselfseeking,
but with it all he was just hu-
man being with human failings
and rather appealing human
traits-some of which he inner
tied from his picturesque though
diminutive mother. Neither OF
them could ever learn to spell,
and both had what amounted to
g. veritable passion for dancing.
From beneath George Washing
toms faultless white periWig and
sculptured brow looked out pair
of eyes which sparkled with ami
nation at the mention of one Of
the gay levees which were the
mode those days in aristocratic
Virginia, and the feet which trod
unfalteringly the ice and snow OF
Valley Forge encased in muddy
army boots, slipped with alacrity
into the buckled pumps of fash
ion to step with ease and distinc-
ton the graceful measures of the
minuet and quadrille.
SO wouldn't it be most charm
Ing and appropriate this month to
give q Washington's Birthday
Dance? Let us revive as nearly
as possible the spirit of the times,
gay and witty, but with an under
lying decorum.
White wigs and spreading
gowns should be the order of the
evening with the ladies, and
cooked hats, stocks and. If pos
sibIe, buckled shoes, with the men.

COLONIAL DAYS

Dinner Carried Out With

Bring colonial days back with

is an echo from those early ReVo-
iutionary times of our forefathres.
The clever hostess grasps at such
an opportunity to plan something
unusual. She delves into the past
for ideas for her colonial dinner
and liz rewarded by having one that
her guests long remember.
OF course, a dinner in honor OF
Washington Is always q patriotic
event. The hostess may use the RED,
white. and blue color scheme, or
she may change to the blue and buff

decorations, there are any NUMBER

stripes and no stars. All of these
are possible decorative motifs.
The menus for such a dinner,
whether elaborate or not, should
carry out the colonial idea ana
should include some of the foods
that the colonists recognized the
importance of meat. Whatever
methods they may have taken from
the natives, they did not depend
on wild animals for their supply
o meat. For them to have aband-
oned the domesticated animals OF
Europe for uncertain supply of the
hunt might have proved disastrous.
Columbus, returning on his second
Voyage in 1893, brought with him,
It is believed, cattle and hogs to
this continent. Likewise did the
settlers at jamestown in 1903 bring
with them their supply of cattle
and hogs, and to this they added
sheep. Since pork was a very pop
ular meat with the early colonists.

His assent to the latter, was brought about through the urgent solicitation of CIV. Franklin, representative of the. West.C Coast Gro- cery Company, and Chris Petersen. manager of the Takotnas General Store. and also administrator of the F. c. H. Spencer estate, in which lat- ter matter MT. Griffin was heavily in- Xolved.
 John. Griffin was a native of, Ire land ;. and. at time of death between 65 and 70 years of age. k He. spent a number of years in the. mining game in. South Africa. Leaving Johannes burg at the time of the. Klondike ex- citement, he arrived in. Dawson about 1898,. and went to Fairbanks about 1904. He came to the Ophir district about 1908.
 Deceased is decared to. have left an estate approximating about $100,000. He is reputed to have had an invest ment of $40,000 in. South Africa, aside from which he is credited with having a suhstantia bank balance, as we'll as mining and other holdings
 Surviving MT. Griffin is a brother in Sacramento Valley, alifornia, living on large ranch, in which both brothers are said to have an equal in- terest, and sister and family in San Francisco.
 At this writing nothing is known as to. funeral arrangements, all of which will depend upon the wishes of Outside. relatives.

Eldridge stripped and rendered massage treatment, at the conclusion of which Mir. Eldridge reported that he "felt fine" MT
 Franklin then called upon the Me Leans, at whose place he spent a few minutes. and on his way back again called to see Bert. To his surprise, he found his friend again sweating badly. Again he partly undressed Mir. Eldridge and applied massage treatment to his chest, and again after sesne minutes did Mir Eldridge repeat: That's fine. I feel a great deal better now" Then: about tore turn to his waiting airplane, MT. Franklin advised MT. Eldridge that if any change for the worse came in his condition he must take -airplane at once far Anchorage.
 MT. Franklin then came to Takotna with Pilot Blunt, the latter returned to McGrath few minutes later, and shortly afterwards word came from McGrath that MT. Eldridge ehad left with Pilot Blunt for Anchorage.
 Albert R. Eldridge was born in Ill- nois about 62 years ago. Little is known of his early life, except! that as a yuung man he moved to HheI Da- kotas, and probably lived m other parts of the West. He arrived at Nome with the stampede to that camp, where he spent some,years.. He arrived about 1910, at McGrath, ,swhere he later openedJup aemercantile a. estab- lishnent and where he continued to reside and thrive up to the time of his passing.

That Albert R. Eldridge, better known to his hosts of friends as Bert" pioneer merchant of Mo Grath, had died in airplane while being transported by Pilot Blunt to Anchorage, was the sad, shocking and most unexpected news received here in a wire from Anchorage late Friday afternoon. Death, according to the message, occurred shortly after the plane had crossed the highest alti- Hude and about an hours travelling time from Anchorage Mir. Eldridge was on his way to Anchorage hospital, and accompanying him in the plane was Jack Morris, of McGrath.
 Mir. Eldridge, up to almost the last day, seemed to be in normal health and there was no indication that all was not we'll with him. c. w. Frank lin, representative of the West Coast Grocery Company, had been with him for about three or four days, they having concluded their business af- fairs late T thursday. Thet evening MT. Eldridge prepared an excellent dinner, with MT. Franklin and Com missioner w. T. Vanderpool as his guests.
