MELONS AND
COFFEE
WISE TALKS BY U. S. 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?
