Coffee Was Long Under Ban as Evil
And Intoxicating; Was Called 'Cawaah'

The world does move, as proved
by the historical fact that once it
was necessary to bootleg coffee, no.
tably in Mahometan countries, be-
cause it was classified as an intoxi-
cant and banned by religious regu-
lation. The advent of the coffee
house, or cafe, centers of political,
artistic and social life in many a
country of the Western world,
marked the triumph of science be-
cause it had been discovered that
coffee was only a mild stimulant,
and there is a world of difference
between, a stimulant and an intoxi-
cant, writes Jessie Marie DeBoth
in the Boston Globe.
Coffee was not even known to be
edible or potable before the Ninth
century of the Christian era, and
it was not until the middle of the
Sixteenth century that the ban
against it was permanently re-
moved everywhere in the world.
Originally called "cawaah," in its
Oriental spelling. coffee came by
way of Europe into the Baltic sea
area, thence into Holland and Eng
land, and thence to North Ameri-
ca. The Western world dominates
the coffee trade and ranks high in
coffee use.

With one arm Brock held the girl
between his body and the horses

him, sought to shield her from their
crush. The first passed; hoofs
pounded beside his feet, shaggy
coats brushed him, horns grazed
within hands breadth of his back.
Then came one brute that would not
give over.
His low, broad shoulder charged
into Kits, swung out little from
the impact. then raked full length
of the horse. Brock pushed out

speechless. The pallor of her face
filled him with sudden fear. He put
her upon Kit, mounted the saddle

TIPS 70
Gardeners
Fertilizer USAGE

GARDENS can't 60 on produc-
- ing excellent flowers and
vegetables year after year without
an application of fertilizer now
and then. Because stable manure
is difficult to obtain, a complete
commercial fertilizer recommend
ed by your dealer will prove most
satisfactory. Before applying fer
tilizer, however, give considera-
ton to a few simple, practical
hints.
First, be cautious! Never apply
fertilizer recklessly or over-abun-
dainty. Don't be like the man
who saw a neighbor get good re-
suits from a sparing use Of ferti-
lizer. He proceeded to apply 10
times as much, but expecting 10
times as good results-but his gar
den proved worthless.
Broadcast the complete fertiliz-
er over the soil 10 days before
planting, using about three pounds
per square rod. Three or four
weeks after planting, if the garden
seems a bit backward, apply a
side dressing. Sprinkle fertilizer
lightly alongside the rows, about
six inches from the plants; then
cultivate. Apply only from one
to two pounds per square rod Of
garden.

When we step in to buy our IA
vorite blend, ground to suit our own
method of brewing, for just a few
cents pound, it seems hard to real
ize that when the coffee houses in
England first had it, coffee cost $40
a pound. Naturally it was not then
a household beverage, and many
are the stories written around the
meetings of the bigwigs, intelligent
STA and better financed leaders of
the day who gathered in the public
coffee houses to discuss the prob
lens of the moment.
Most coffee sold is blended from
a number of different kinds of
beans, each with a character of its
own. What you like depends upon
your personal preference for certain
of these characteristics, and there
is everything available from the
light, mild blend to the heavy,
mouth-filling flavor that seems to
fill the house with its tantalizing
odor.

the cabin. His cabin! Not one of
cold rock, but of warm, weathered
logs; small, certainly, yet snug,
compact, a home for a man.

CHAPTER X-Continued

"Ranger," Louise said, riding
close, II don't believe know your
name"
He told her.
Gordon Breck?" she repeated.
Haven't I heard of you before?
Let me think :"
Inward warning urged him to pre-
vent that thought. Surely she had
known Jim Cotter; and Jim had
probably spoken his name, perhaps
mentioned their close friendship. He
did not want her to make the con-
nection.
Sweeping a gloved hand toward
the river of animals. he asked,
What part of this drive is yours,
Miss Temple?"
"Louy, if you like" she said i'm
personally. 81 shan't call you Mis-
ter" And then in the same off-hand
manner: II am allowed six hundred
head on my permit, but I think
there are seven hundred.
Brock turned to her with a short
laugh. Her eyes met his gravely
and he was undecided whether she
was spoofing him or not. His laugh
ter died and matching her own Sc
rious look, he said, II can let you
have six hundred and twenty, no
more"
And what about the other
eighty?"
Brock shrugged.
MY, aren't you a hard-boiled
ranger!"
"Very!" he agreed.
They had not ridden far together
when she suddenly turned in her
saddle, looking up the right canyon
bank. Brock followed her eyes. A
bunch of steers had left the main
drive and were working toward a
side coulee.
The girl cupped her hands.
"Palo!" An Indian boy started to
her. She waved him back, but he
only halted. The strays swung up
the coulee at run. "Oh Lord!"
The blue horse sprang beneath her,
knowing his job, and raced up be-
hind the cattle.
In order to circle around and get
in front of them she must jump a
narrow creek that had cut its steep
bnnks along the ravine bottom.
Brock watched as she dashed to the
edge. The horse refused to make
the leap there. She forced him fur
Their on and back to the bank again.
He hesitated, and in that instant Of
wavering, lost his momentum. When
he sprang his rush was spent. Legs
clawed the air. His belly struck
the opposite rim. He reared, hind
feet in the stream, forefeet paving
at the bank top for one tense sec
ond; then he became overbalanced
and fell. 3"
II all happened in a moment.
Breck dropped his pack line and
wheeled Kit toward the coulee. He
saw Louise slip from the saddle and
hurl herself across the water. The
falling horse missed her.
Breck's breath escaped in a
thankful gasp. Then his eye caught
black shape racing through the
pines along the canyon bank. The
Indian boy had sent his dog; was
yelling at him now to come back,
but too late. The black beast cir
cled the herd, turned them, sent
them down as he sprang in with
jaws swapping at the laggards.
Brock was not conscious of gaug-
ing distance. He only knew that the
first Of the steers was still above
Louise. He dashed his horse toward
her, saw there was no time to help
her mount. and swung to the ground.
