A REMINDER
Last week’s storm with- its snow-filled air and long sunless
hours.-, its biting cold and stalled traffic-, is a reminder that proud
man at his mightest is a poor, weak affair when, compelled to con
tend with natural forces on a rampage.
Amid all the tributes paid to King Geofge we saw few .refer-
erences to his industry, to his thrift, to his enterprise in managing
his own personal affairs. In this- he was a business man difficult
to excel, as the Queen Mother is difficult to equal as a good busi
ness woman and thrifty house-keeper. There was no loafing in
the royal household.

A PITY
(Since the British pariament has assembled more than one
quarter of its. time has been occupied with the antics- of a few for
eign despots. Go much the worse for Britain and the British tax
payer. Days and days running into weeks have been spent by a
costly committee of the United .States investigating the pranks of a
few monied United (States citizens, pranks that an alert citizenry
would not have allowed, pranks that cannot now be amended. A
mighty expensive Royal -Commission has been .sitting and sitting
examining the alleged misconduct of a few Toronto policemen, a
situation that never would have developed had those in charge of
Toronto police affairs attended to their business. Then the‘f elect
orate complains- of heavy taxes and -of general inefficiency; yet cit
izens delight to have things so.’
*******
From the many generous tributes to the late George the Fifth
we select the following from The New York Herald-Tribune; •
“The King was unassuming, modest, somewhat reserved and
highly conscientious. He performed his constitutional functions
with the utmost tact and discretion.. He was always correct, punc
tilious and self-restrained. He was- a King without blemish, whose
whole effort was to do his duty irreproachably}. His- character
stood the hard tests of his office. His reign, covering the World
War, will remain one of the most memorable in British history,
recalling Great Britain’s most colossal military effort, a notable ex
tension of heft’ -outlying possessions and a frictionless recasting of
the imperial structure, adapting the latter to the progress and na
tional aspirations- of the dominions-, to new conditions« new 'respon
sibilities and a new time.”

A DISAPPOINTMENT
Canadians listened with kindliest feelings to the messages of
sympathy that came to them from the United states radio stations
regarding the passing of King George V. Buch heart-moving greet
ings go a long distance in the way of uniting the two peoples fo'i"
commonn service in all that benefits the race.
■On the other hand, many Canadians are -deeply sorry that Can
adian radio stations failed adequately to interpret the significance
of the passing of George the Builder, the Reconciler, the Good.
With the going on into light of HiS Gracious Majesty there passed
an, era, just as an era closed with the death of Queen Victoria.
Canadian- radio stations failed to see this and failed quite as con
spicuously to interpret the nature of the new era that dawned with
the accession of Edward VIII. The 'radio station if it is not to go
the way of the town crier must, -on. great occasions, be something
more and better than a mere mechanical announcer.

HOW TO MAKE COFFEE
WITH OR WITHOUT CAFFEINE
(By jjarabara B. Brooks)
From morning club refreshments
p to midnight suppers, from beach
parties to ski round-ups, or at any
meal of tbe day or night, no bever
age is so universally popular as cof
fee. it is the almost perfect answer
to the quest for something hot and
refreshing, suitable in any menu, ex
cept that some people do not drink
It—not because they do not like cof
fee, ibut because they find caffeine
overstimulating. These persons who
are sensitive to caffeine discover
sooner or later that they really do
not have to give up coffee. They lean
have real coffee, made caffeine-free
, by a patented process which pre
serves developes the fine flavor apd
aroma of high grade coffees. The
manufacturer guarantees this cof-(
fee to be ninety-seVen per cent saf-
fbine-free. Physicians who have in
vestigated the product, permit its use
in dietaries Where stimulants of any
kind are excluded.
With such assurance the home
maker need not hesitate to serve thiB
caffeine-free coffe to her family and
guests. 'She finds it an imporant
part of any meal and at least half
the answer to the old question,
“What shall I serve’’ for parties.
The greatest care should be taken
in preparing caffeine-free coffee, not
because it is more difficult to make
than any other coffee, but because
many persons are more critical of a
caffeine-free icoffee. They are less
apt to let it pass when carelessly
made because they find it hard to
■believe that it is as good as ordin
ary coffee.
Be sure, then, to follow the rules
for making good coffee. There are
many kinds of coffee-makers which
are good. For special devices follow
the manufacturer’s directions. The
following rules hold for all types of
equipment.
1. The utensil, must be thoroughly
clean i.e., free from traces of old
icioffee, soap, soda or other cleaners
and foreign substances such as other
foods, particularly fats of any kinds.
. It is best to wash the coffee equip
ment right after it is used, in clear,
hot water, cleaning all parts with a
brush reserved for that purpose.!
Scald and drain well and allow to 1
dry in fresh air and sunlight if pos-'
Bible. A pot used every day and
cared for iu this way needs no other
cleaning. However, for equipment,
that is not used regularly or ‘not
always properly cleaned, an occa
sional boiling of soda water in it
will help to keep it sweet and free
of rancid 'coffep oils. Then thorough
ly wash out the soda water, boil
some clear water in the pot, wash
again, rinse, drain and dry.
2- For average beverage strength
use two level measuring tablespoons
of rogund coffee to each half pint
measure of water,
3. If hot water is used, heat
fresh, cold water in a clean con
tainer just to the boiling point. Wa
ter that is reheated or kept hot for
a long time extracts less flavox’ be
cause it has lost much of the free
air that is present in fresh water.
4. jlf the drip type is used, have
the lower part hot and keep it over
low heat while the water is dripping
through. With a standard grind of
coffee, the water must drip slowly.
If it drips too fast, use filter papers
to slow up the process or pour the
coffee over the grounds again.
5. In a percolator, the desired
strength can be secured by percolat
ing as long as necessary. In caf
feine-free coffee there are no harm
ful substances to be freed by longer
percolation and the coffee will not
develop a (bitter flavor.
6. In the Silex tpye of maker, the
hot water can be kept in contact with
the coffee grounds long enough to
extract the desired strength by re
gulating the heat as needed.
7. For so-called “boiled” coffee,
put measured coffee and cold, fresh
water in the pot. Bring to the boil
ing point slowly and simmer until
the desired strength is obtained. Re
move from heat and allow to stand
a few minutes to “settle.”
8. 'Serve coffee as soon as prepar
ed. If it must stand for a while,
keep over a uniformly low heat so
that it will remain just below the
boiling point. Do not cool and re
heat.

Loved Her Next to Golf
A Scotsman was a devotee of golf.
His wife remonstrated with him, but
found it unavailing. Finally, she de
livered an ultimatum. “Sandy, if you
do not play less golf I’ll leave you,”
she said. There was no audible re
ply, but she presently heard him so
liloquizing, “Gosh, I am going to
miss her.”
