0 GET BEST OUT OF COFFEE
ethod of Preparation Has Much to
Do WJth Success in This Im-
portant Matter.
There are two points necessary in
etting the best out of coffee. One
s, of course, to get all that is good,
he other is not to get what is bad.
he best preparation of co -e ex>
racts the aromatic oils and eliminate
offee-tannin ^o practically nothing.
In the first place the housewife
uust see to it that her coffee is finely
round. But, having had it practical*
7 pulverized, she must be careful
hat it is quickly used or confined in
ir-proof, moisture-proof Jars, other-
wise the oil will escape into the air
nd will absorb moisture.
In the actual preparation of the
everage, however, the important
ing is to brew the coffee. "Brewed”
ffee is not “cooked.” In the process
f brewing the oils are extracted
om the fibrous tissue, whereas when
ffee is boiled or “cooked” the fiber
stewed in and the flavor and purity
the liquid is damaged. TLe water
st be boiled; the coffee must not
ater at the boiling point should be
ured on the coffee, but it should
t stand too long, and ft sh uld not
t chilled.
The elimination of the coffee-tannin
best brought about in the filtration
drip method of preparing coffee,
hen brewed in this way the coffee
ntains only .29 of a grain of coffee-
mnin per cup, rs against 2.90 grains
7 five mfhutes steeping in the perco
tor method.

Dishwashing Wisdom,
ile spending the day with a
end on a farm last summer, I no-
ed a clever little arrangement of
s in washing dishes. The water
s piping hot, as it should be, and
the middle of the dlshpan she set
mall deep pitcher full of hot suds
the silver. This obviated the
ed of plunging her hand down to
bottom of the dishpan, as I have
ays done, and also kept the silver
m collecting grease.—McCall’s
gazine.
For Your Bean Pot.
o clean the bean pot thoroughly
two large handful* of wa*hing

Ironing Hint.

To Clean Paints.
ill a cheesecloth bag with flaxseed
soak it in water for a few hours,
n wipe the paints over with it.
Backache Spells Banger
Bo you hnow that your bad back may
be merely a hint of some hidden, deep-
seated kidney disorder? Census records
show that deaths from kldDav disorders
have increased 72% in 20 years. People
can't seem to realize that the first pain
in the back, the first disorder of the
urine, demands instant attention—that It
may bo a signal of coming rheumatism,
gravel, dropsy or fatal Bright’s disease.
The best prevention of serious kidney
disorders Is prompt treatment—the best
medicine Is Boan’s Kidney Pills.

REWARDS FOR GOOD WORK
Anti tuberculosis Association Haa Plan
to Promote Sale of Red Cross
Christmas Seals.
Pennants or banners will be given
by the American Red Cross and the
National Association for the Study and
Prevention of Tuberculosis to the
seven counties, cities, towns and vil-
lages in the United States selling the
largest number of Red Cross Christ-
mas seals per capita before January
1, according to an announcement from
headquarters in New York.
In order to make the competition
even in all parts of the country, the
counties, cities and towns have been
grouped according to their population
in 1910 Into seven classes, as follows:
From 500 to 2,000; from 2,000 to 8,000;
from 8,000 to 25,000; from 25,000 to
50,000; from 50,000 to 150,000; 150,000
to 500,000, and over 500,000. A special-
ly prepared pennant will be given to
the county, city, town or village in
each class anywhere in the United
States selling the largest number of
seals per inhabitants.
Last year Cody, Wyo., was among
the largest buyer* per capita, selling
over 22,000 with a population of 1,200.
Some cities In New York, Wisconsin,
and Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and
other states sold from three to six per
resident. The National Association
for the Study and Prevention of Tuber-
culosis, which is carrying on the pro-
motion of the sale, considers that any
city of 10,000 to 100,000 population
ought to sell at leaBt three cents
worth of seal* per inhabitant
All the proceeds from the sale
of Red Cross seals, except the ex-
penses of the sale, go to fight tubercu-
losis in the community, state, city or
town where the seals are sold.

Senator Camden of Kentucky, him-
self a^scientific farmer, gets joy from
the foibles of the practical Kentuckian
who does not believe in “dingdoodles,”
but sticks to the rudimentary method
of tilling the soil.
Several times each year Senator
Camden invites his neighbors, among
whom are a number of the practical
boys, to visit his farm.
“One elderly gentleman,” said Sen-
ator Camden, in telling of one of
these parties, “went over the place
carefully. He examined the different
types of machinery, which I had in-
troduced. The harvesting machinery,
the reaper* and the traction engines
caught his eye. He turned to me.
“ ‘This new-fangled Junk may be
all right,' he said, ‘but I’m durned If
I can figure out what you do.’ ”
FROM ECZEMA AND BnfGWOBM
You can obtain Instant relief by ue-
ing T*tterl«e, also the best remedy
known for Chafes, Bites of Insect*.
Tetter, Itching Piles, Burns, Chilblains,
old Itching Sores, etc. Because you
have spent hundreds of dollars and ex-
perienced no relief for your itching
skin troubles besides devoting a great
deal of energy scratching and pawing
at the plague spot until the blood is-
sued forth, don’t despair, Nature wisely
provides a remedy for every 111 that
flesh Is heir to. Tetterino will cure you
permanently, positively and completely,
nothing else will.

MEN WHO WIN LIFE’S BATTLES
They Almost Invariably Have Bean
Endowed With Great Physical
Strength.
It has been said that great men—
those capable of mental work beyond
the average—are almost invariably
men of great physical strength also,
remarks London Answers. Whether
this be true or not, we find innumer-
able instances in which the theory is
borne out in actual fact, and here are
a few actual and indisputable exam-
ples:
Napoleon was capable of sitting on a
horse sixteen hours at a stretch and
was able to work for days without rest.
Gladstone was alw’ays muscular. At
eighty years be chopped down an oak
four feet thick.
Bismarck was a giant. He fought
twenty-eight duels, receiving only once
a scar, caused by the breaking of his
adversary's blade. He stood six feet
two inches.
Cromwell was a football player, fond
of boisterous sportB. He stood nearly
six feet in height and had a strong,
compact body and well-knit frame.

HOW RESIN0L CURED __,
ITCHING SKIN TORMENT
Baltimore, Md., May 23, 1914: "My
limbs from knee to ankle were com-
pletely covered with eczema for a
year. It commenced with several small
water pimples, which burst when I
scratched them, until they developed
Into sores, and oozed a yellowish fluid.
I hated to go in company, if. itched and
burned so badly. I had no rest at
night I tried a good many remedies
for eczema, both liquid and salve, but
they did me no good, only made the
skin more rough and scaly. I learned
of resinol ointment and resinol soap
and tried them, and was relieved of
the severe Itching and burning AT
ONCE, and'-after a month’s steady use
was completely cured." (Signed) T. S.
