No Secrets to Making Perfect Can Be Achieved By Follow ing A Few Simple Rules Says Famous Cooking Expert By Mildred Maddwks Nenlley Fwwmwrty Pfaw sar GvA 11 katpinf fiMtitata What is th secret of first-rate coffea the kind that starts the day rijrht that makes jou feci 'like a milliou dollars"! Literally hundreds of women and a surprising number of men have asked me this question in one form or an other. And it's an Important one for what can be more blighting to domestic happiness than a cup of muddy coftev or coffee improperly "creamed"? And, on the contrary, what can be more ex hilarating than a good cup fragrant, golden, delicious? Luckily there's no hidden secret about making and serving the perfect coffee it's Just a matter of mindin- your p's and q'l and following a few simple directions. i Selection of Coflee There are many exeellerit brands of coffee in the market the choice of one of these is largely a matter of individ ual taste. But I do want to say that usually coffee in the bean retains its flavor longer than in the ground form so, If possible, buy the whole beans and grind your coffee fresh for each meaL If, however, the breakfast hour or fifteen minutes is too hectic to admit of this extra step, at least keep your ground coffee in an air tight con tainera glass fruit jar for instance. And it's well to remember that the more finely the coffee is ground, the easier it is to extract its full strength and flavor consequently finely-ground coffee is economical and time-saving. The Coflee Pot Connoisseurs maintain that coffee brewed in a metal pot has a less deli cate flavor than in container of glass, tone-ware or agate. Whatever kind of coffee pot you prefer it should be scoured frequently and occasionally "boiled out" with water to which a pinch of baking soda has been added then rinsed, dried, and left uncovered. If a percolator is used, the pipe should be carefully washed every day with a brush to remove all scum from the preceding brew. For drip coffee, if you do not have a speeial drip coffee pot, an ordinary one equipped with a double cheesecloth bag will serve the purpose. The cheese cloth should be washed in cold water after using and renewed at least once a week. Keep the bag always moist. ' The Creemlna" Tliis I consider quite as Important as the actual brewinsr. Good coffee can so NOTES FROM MAUPIN SCHOOLS A cordial invitation was given to the parents of the school children to attend school this week, since it is visiting week. During the first two days a few parents came. Wednes day and Friday are expected to be bigger days. In the town schools of the country, the room which has the largest per cent of attendance of parents is to be given a standard picture.

Mr. Broughton, the new high school teacher, was welcomed by the students and teachers when he be Masquerade at- WAMIC Fri -a Q NOVEMBER FOR BEST LADY'S COSTUME and FOR BEST GENT'S COSTUME MUSIC WILL BE FURNISHED BY A Good Orchestra Cup of Coffee easily be spoiled by using cream of in ferior quality or the "top of the bottle" if carelessly poured off. In my ktudy of food habiu, I am rinding that every year more and more people prefer sweetened condensed milk in their cof fee. You see this kind is twice aa rich and creamy as ordinary milk and fur thermore already contain mjcr, thus serving the additional purpose of sweetening the coffee. Try it for a few days, and I think you will agree that the condensed milk gives a delight fully rich, smoothly blended drink, brbcing out the real coffee flavor And of course it is very convenient, as it keeps fresh without ice even after the can is opened and the cost is ex tremely moderate. Now as to the octant mttkodt 0 bmring. There are several and your choice is entirely a matter of individ ual taste. If the directions art care fully followed, any of the methods will yield the "perfect cup of coffee" mel-i low in flavor, with a delicate, fragrant' aroma, fret from sediment and of a dark golden hue.

The Millionaire (By Ralph Kaiser) ' One hot summer day I was lying on the grass reading a magazine. I saw in it that if you sold some per fume you could get a bicycle. I thought if I got a bicycle I could peddle papers. I would peddle pa pers for a long time until I was a man. Then I would have money enough to buy me a tailor shop. I would buy me the finest kind of goods. People would flock in to my store and I would soon be a mil lionaire, and have things very, very nice. I would not want to live in !a little shabby house so I would I build me a castle and I would soon have enough money so that I would j not have to work but sit around and eat good food and have servants. I went and ask my mother and she said "No!" Moral;' Don't count your chick ens before they are hatched. SHANIKO HAPPENINGS W. R. Mescall of Dayville, Ore gon, was in town Tuesday.
