For iced coffee, this careful
brewing is essential. Good House
keeping magazine conducted some
experiments some time ago on the
method 100 women used in meaSur-
ing the coffee. They found them
all different.
In some cases the heaping table
spoon showed q difference of so
per cent. In other cases a china
cup was used for the measure
mentS.
SO, in making the coffee, the
brew might be twice as strong
one morning as it would be the
next.
Standard Measure
The only successful way to over
come this gueSswork is to use a
standard measuring cup and
spoon. Then, to consistently pre-
pare good coffee, the brew must
be fresh, the coffee kept in a glass
container that has an alright
fitting screw cap and be made in
an approved coffee-making device.
The standard recipe for coffee
is two level-meaSuring tablespoons
of coffee for each level cup Of
water.
For iced coffee. the frozen cubes
used to chill it should also be of
frozen coffee. Otherwise the bev-
erage will be thinned as the ice
meltS.
A New Flavor
For the demi-taSse, coffee made
with cinnamon captures a new
flavor. The coffee for this is
made as usual. Then when
poured into the cups, a cinnamon
stick is placed in the cup.
The cinnamon should be left in
the cup for at least a minute or
until the coffee takes on a desired
taste of cinnamon. This is very
successful served in black coffee.
If the coffee is served from the
kitchen the sticks can be passed
from a small tray.
Another novel method of serv-
ing coffee is with cheese. This is
stirred into the hot coffee so that
it's cream flavor blends in with
the coffee to give it delightful
tang.
The coffee on hand may be
used in number of delicious deS-
SertS and salads.
In making these desserts do not
boil the coffee a longer time in
order to gain a stronger flavor.
Additional boiling only makes the
coffee bitter.
When combined with cottage
cheese, the coffee gelatin takes on
distinction.
Coffee Cottage Cheese Dessert
2 cups Of strong black coffee
2 tablespoons of plain gelatin
1a cup Of cold water
/ cup Of boiling water
"a cup Of sugar
Dissolve the gelatin in cold wa
ter. Add the boiling water, sugar,
and coffee. Pour into the molds
that have been rinsed with cold
water. Chill.
Serve with the seasoned cottage
cheese piled in the center. A gar
nish Of maraschino cherries can
be used if desired. Serve with
mayonnaiSe.

IT'S QUITE EASY TO MAKE GOOD COFFEE CONSIS
In Season

Local grown fruits and vegeta-
bleS are inexpensive and abundant
this week. Tomatoes, squash,
green peppers, egg plant, green
beans. punched beets, and limas
are all included, as well as peaches,
pears, and apples.
Puerto Rican yam - southern
sweets-are coming from the Caro-
linas. Eastern Shore Irish pota-
toes are available. From the West
Coast are peas, carrots, and grapes
of good quality.
This week ends the national

altar. Bob waited until Betty and

fell in behind them and followed
into the dimly lighted chapel room.
1t was not unlike other small
chapels he had seen in Spanish
houses in New Mexico, but this was

CHAPTER VIII

Pearl Johns announcement came
like a thunderbolt. Fer minute,
the usually self-Sufficient Professor
Shaw seemed at loss for a reply.
Finally he said slowly:
mo, Pearl John, I have not for
gotten that the knife was on the
desk in my room. I stepped out
for q minute to get a towel TO
wipe off the lens of the micro
scope, and when I came back, the
artfact was gone. I supposed that
Pearl Sam had taken it to put 1t
back in the safe, and I went in
search of him to tell him was
not yet through with my examina-
ton. He was nowhere to be found.
Shortly afterward, we were served
dinner In our rooms, for the party
guests had begun to arrive"
"Okay," was Pearl Johns short
reply. Then he added, as the pro-
fessor started out of the door, my
brother and I have talked this over,
Professor Shaw, and we wish you
to omit any further scientific activi-
tiea until this thing is cleared up.
Certainly" The arcieo!ogist
boyed and took his departure.
''rhat birds as guilty as hell
exclaimed Ramon, turning TO
Pearl John. "All you need ID do
is tell the sheriff of this CONVERSE
ton and the case is as good as over"
Maybe" his host answered.
"But I'm not so sure of that as you
ars. There are a good many things
we cannot yet understand. Pearl
Pierre thinks it would be more
fitting If all the Christmas greens
were taken down. 1t does look
undly festive around here, you
know. Would you fellows lend a
hand and help me get rid OF thec1?'
The next hour was spent in
stripping the house Of the wreaths
and garlands and piling the great
mass of evergreens on large canvas
which Pear. John had spread In the
middle OF tie living TO-. n floor. Ii
Boo had thought the house gloomy
and forebiddirS before. he found i;
doubly depressing now Tat the walls
stood in their stark baroness. He
wondered where the two girls were,
and If they, also, were feeling the
suspicion and distrust that hung
over everything. This waiting
around for the officers to come II
ever they did was getting on his
nerves. In order 20 get outdoors,
even though the snow was now knee
high, Bob offered to help the two
Mexican3 who were carving away
the bundle of Christmas gree1,s.

Brain TwizzIers
by Prot. J. ID. Flint

All! you are confronted with the
figure of the grim reaper-but wait!
our hero has foiled the villain and
the situation Is well In hand.
There once was strong and
handsome knight who belonged to a
band of great men all Of whom de-
voted their time to honorable battle
and the ideals of justice. Our par
ticular knight learned of a noble
maiden who was languishing In the
dungeon Of a castle which was
owned by piratical old villain.
This dungeon was called Deaths
Head Dungeon because of the for
nation of the labyrinth of cells into
a figure resembling skull. The
dungeon contained thirty-five cells.
Our knight learned that II a man
were to start from a particular one
OF the outside cells and pass
through every doorway once and
only once he would arrive at the
cell In which the beautiful maiden
was imprisoned. The hero located
the castle, finally located the correct
outside cell, and found his way TO
the maidens cell In time to rescue
her. Can you find the correct out
side cell and trace the route Of the
knight?
Answer TO Yesterdays Twizzler
If there were eight biscuits and
three men, each man must have
eaten eight-thirds Of the biscuits.
That being so, the man with the
five biscuits contributed fifteen
thirds and ate only eight-thirds
thereby giving seven-thirds to the
Engllshman. The man with three
biscuits contributed nine-thirds and
Rte eight-thirds thereby giving the
Nnglishman one-third so the divi-
Eiam should be seven nickels for the
man with the five biscuits and one
nickel for the man with the three
biscuits.
