HOW TO MAKE COFFEE > because they find caffiene over-stinL plating, These persons Who are sen­ sitive to caffeine discover soon or lat­ er that they really do not have to give up coffee, They can have real cof­ fee, made caffeine-free by a patented process which preserves and develops the .fine, flavor and aroma of high graade coffees, The manufacturer guarantees this coffee to be ninety­ seven per cent caffeine-free. Physic­ ians whp have investigated the' pro­ duct, permit its, use in dietaries where stimulants of any kind are excluded, With such assurance, the home­ maker need not hesitate to serve this caffeine-free coffee to her family and guests. She finds it an important part of any meal and at. least half the an­ swer 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 coffee, They are less apt to let it pass carelessly made because they find it, hard to believe that it is as good as ordinary 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-j equipment. 1. The utensil must be thoroughly clean i. -e., free from traces of old coffee, soap, soda or other cleaners and. foreign substances such as other foods, particularly fats of any kind? 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 dry in fresh air and sunlight if possible. A pot used every day and cared for in this way needs no other cleaning. However, for equipment that is not used regularly or not always properly cleaned, an occasional boiling of soda water in it will help to keep it sweet and free of rancid coffee oils. . Then thoroughly wash out the soda water, boil some clear water in the pot, wash again, rinse, drain and dry. 2. For average strength use two level measuring tablespoonfuls of ground coffee to each half pint meas­ ure of water, 3. If hot water is used, heat fresh, cold water in a clean container just to the boiling point. Water that is reheated or kept hot for a long time extracts less flavor because it has lost much of the free air that is pre­ sent in fresh water. 4. If the drip type of pot 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 caffeine- free coffee there are no harmful sub- ’ stances to be freed by longer percol­ ation and the coffee will not develop a bitter flavor. 6. In the Silex type of maker, the hot water can be kept in contact with the coffee grounds 'long enough to extract the desired strength by regu­ lating 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. Remove 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 reheat. i With or Without Caffiene By Barbara B. Brooks From morning club refreshments to midnight suppers, from beach par­ ties to ski round-ups, or at any meal of the day or night, no beverage is so universally popuar as coffee. It is the almost -perfect answer to ■ the quest for something hot and refresh­ ing, suitable in any menu, except that some people do not drink it — not because they do not like coffee, but WIREWORM HELPED BY POOR SEED KING’S Stock-Taking Sale of Oddments inventory completed we find various lines that have become broken in sizes.

KING BROS. :-------------------------------—1 from the fact that wireworm attacks are chiefly serious from the time the seed is placed in the soil until the plants have established strong root systems and have begun to stool heavily. Thus anything—such as, the use of poor seed—which lengthens this critical period multiplies the de­ structive' powers of the pest; while, on the other hand, any practice which shortens that period, decreases the rate of damage by wireworms. No one can afford to use poor seed in fiields where wireworms are com­ mon. ’ “It is my conviction that the root of evil is want of a living faith in a living God."—Mahatma Gandhi.

The Mercantile Transfer Co., 18 Toronto St. ‘ Toronto ? One of the surest ways to have a thin, spotty; weedy, unproductive stand of-wheat is to use .poor or weak Seed—especially if treated with form­ alin—in fields infested by wireworms. Since this pest is rather generally prevalent throughout the prairie sec­ tions and much of the park belt, es­ pecially of Saskatchewan, Alberta and the Peace River area, this is a matter of great importance which is heightened by the general increase of the pest during recent years, and by the present large supply of seed bad­ ly damaged by rust, frost or drougth. Even very poor shrunken kernels may start to grow, but germination is slow and the seedlings are weak and spindly. These effects are partic­ ularly marked if such seed has been treated with formalin. Under such circumstances, assurance is 4?iven by the Entomological Branch, Dominion Department of Agriculture, that each wireworm will destroy several times as much as it would be able to do if healthy, vigorous seed were used. Moreover, the destruction of weak seeds and plants is particularly heavy when soil misture and temperature is not favorable in the field at time of Seeding.
