New way to show off your
Christmas cards: hang them on
the line. Tiny clothespins in
green stretched on a red and
white cord can be used to clip
the cards so that they can be
strung across the mantelpiece,
around doors or windows, or on
bookshelf edges, to name a few
locations. The "show-offs" come
with decorative stickers to
hold the line on walls or above
the fireplace. (Beckhard Line.

Keep flower arrangements
away from draughts, direct sun

from air conditioners in the

History of Making Coffee
By Vacuum Method Given
Coffee will be an important
part of refreshments served dur
ing holiday parties and when
guests drop in.
There are many wavs of mak
ing coffee, one by the vacuum
method. Probably few, however,
realize that this method was
invented in 1840 by a Scotsman,
Kooerl Napier, a marine engi
neer.
The following article relates
the history of coffee making
and the invention of the vacuum
pot.
Since l:X) A.D., men have
been trying lo find the best
way to brew a cup of coffee.
Over the centuries, inventors,
gourmets, perfectionists and
purists in every part of the
world have concentrated on pro
ducing the perfect cup. They
nave boiled, steeped, dripped,
filtered, syphoned, steamed and
perked the mysterious brew.
Judging from the number of
coffee-pots patented yearly, it
appears tney still are not sat
isfied. There is one group of coffee
drinkers, however, who seem lo
be quite content with the brew
ing process they now employ.
These are the devotees of the
vacuum pot, a small, but vocal
minority always ready to extol
its coffee above all others and
to enumerate the advantages of
a brew made by the vacuum
method. Surely, Spinoza would
never have said, "Nature ab
hors a vacuum," had he known
an ecstatic owner of the vacuum
pot. Considering that the vac
uum pot has attracted a coterie
of enthusiasts for more than a
century, it may well be that
the familiar double bowl does
indeed contain some magical
secrets of coffee making.
hvolution of the Vacuum Pol
For four hundred years, from
1300 to 1700, the accepted way
to brew coffee was by boiling
it. Naturally, everyone had dif
ferent ideas on how to boil it,
but none - the - less the results
were inevitably the same, a bit
ter beverage that, today, we
wouldn't dream of trying. Then,
in 1702, came the Franch novel
ty of steeping coffee. French
men, always receptive to new
culinary ideas, gradually adopt
ed the new method, and in 50
years they had abandoned boil
ed coffee altogether. I
The next step in coffec-mak-
inR history came in 1800 when
a resourceful gentleman named
DcBelloy invented the rrench
drip pot (or percolator, as it
was then called). His method
so inspired other inventors that
an avalanche of patents for
"improved" drip pots, inelud
ing the modern pumping per
colator, were issued in England,
France. Germanv and the unit
ed States. The public, caught up
in the excitement of the Indus
trial Revolution, was eager to
see any innovation, especially
one that could be plcasurably
used in the home. Coffee - pot
inventors were having a field
day.
Just when it seemed that the
drip process wns far-and-away
the most sophisticated form of
brewing, another kind of coffee
pot appeared on the scene, Ihc
vacuum coffee-maker. Although
the majority of coffee-lovers de
fended their French drip pots
or pumping percolators, the
vacuum pot won many loyal
friends, a trend which has con
tinued to this day.
Engineer Sets To Work
In 1840, a Scottish marine
engineer by the name of Robert
Napier turned his attention from
ships to coffee-pots and invented
an elaborate vacuum machine.
His device was never patented,
but 80 years later it was being
manufactured in Glasgow in the
works of Thomas Smith and
Sons under the direction of Mr.
Napier himself.
Modern
211 W. Main
The device, a handsome piece
of craftsmanship that would
look at home in a dining room
or a chemical laboratory, con
sisted of a silver globe, a mix
ing container, a svphon and a
strainer. Briefly, this is how it
worked: A small amount of wa
ter was put in the globe and
heated by a gas burner. In the
meantime, boiling water was
added to dry coffee in the mix
ing container. The steam pres
sure created in the globe forced
steam through the tube into the
coffee mixture, causing the mix
ture to become temporarily agi
tated. Then the flame under the
globe was lowered, the steam
condensed and a vacuum was
formed. As if by magic, the
vacuum pulled clear coffee back
through the filtered tube into
the globe, and the coffee was
ready to serve.
The vacuum makers that fol
lowed differed in operation, but
not in principle, from the Na
perian method. In most of these,
all of the water was placed in
the reservoir over the burner
and the ground coffee was plac
ed in the other receptacle. When
the water was heated, steam
pressure forced it through the
filtered tube to mix freely with
the coffee. Then, with the heat
lowered, a vacuum formed in
the reservoir and pulled the
brewed coffee into il.
Improvements and refine
ments of the Napcrian method
continued steadily over t h e
years until the modern double
globe vacuum pot emerged.
While the new maker employed
the vacuum principle, it was
actually patterned after I h e
French double-glass "balloon
a kind of percolator that had
been designed many years earli
er. By the early twentieth cen
tury, the new vacuum pot was
all the rage in the United Stales.
Americans loved to watch the
whole process, the water rising
into the upper bowl, bubbling
furiously, and then, after a few
quiet moments, returning as
brewed coffee to the lower
globe.
The vacuum pot has in many
ways overcome some of the
early hazards of colfee brewing.
Perhaps the most obvious ad
vantage of the vacuum pot is
that it permits all of the water
to come In contact with all of
the coffee fairly rapidly and then
allows immediate separation ot
the brew and grounds. Ot
course, many other brewing
processes offer advantages, too
but to vacuum-pot users, none
of the other coffee-makers pro
duce such happy results, iney
are convinced, and who is
say them nay.

This is the time of the year when the words "Peace on earth"
and "good will to men" are heard on all sides. But how to achieve
these long sought after goals seems well-nigh impossible. Nations
are filled wilh fears and tensions, these are reflected in our
daily living and thoughtful parents wonder how to achieve har
mony in the home.
We would like lo repeat here the words of an old Chinese
proverb. The proverb is printed often, and was stressed in this
paper only last Sunday. 11 was offered by Patricia McCormack of
United Press International in an article pointing up the efforts of
the National Conference of Christians and Jews to start an "epi
demic of good will" immunizing young and old against the hate,
mistrust, greed and me-firstisms that sabotage elforls to advance
peace and good will.
The proverb reads;
"If there is righteousness in the heart, there will be beauty in
the character.
:;If there is beauty In the character, there will be harmony
in the home.
"If there is harmony in the home, there will bo order in the
nation.
"If there is order in the nation, there will be peace in the
world."
We hope that mankind never
peace and good will. Have a safe
May all the good thoughts you have spared
to others return a thousandfold lo you;
may all the good deeds you have done be
given bark to you a thousand limes over
again. And a Merry Christmas to you and
yours!
