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 actual brewinsr. Good coffee can so

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

aroma, fret from sediment and of a
dark golden hue.

Remember the best coffee will losej
its flavor if allowed to stand. Coffee
should always be freshly made and
served piping hot, as soon as It isj
brewed. If necessary to let stand, the;
pot should be tightly covered and the'
spout closed by stuffing with soft cloth
or paper, so that none of the aroma
and flavor may be lost.

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!"
