LOUGHARYS' OFFICE BOY Well, Sir, school has been out two weeks and I haven't had any melons yet. I suppose its my own fault for they are - certainly getting plenty enough. I tell you what it Is, next to the Btrawberry, a melon Is the best thing a man can eat In the morning, and coffee la the best thing he can drink. A lot of folks have a kind of grouch against coffee drinking, but maybe they never get the right kind. Really good coffee hasn't a grouch in a gallon of it. Poor coffee contains to much of the bitter prlnclpal("tannln," I think they call It,) and that makes a fellow peevish, especially too much of it. Lots of good coffee is ruined in the making; boiled too long; made too weak, and dosed with poor milk. To be a good and wholesome drink, coffee should be roasted fresh, made strong, and brought just to the boiling point (or raada in a coffee percolator by pouring boiling water over the pow dered ooileo) and served" with rich cream such as the St. Charles or Pio neer brands. Ma says this is so and that good coffee, properly made, never hurts anyone. Have you tried our M. J. B. coffee?
