How Do You Prepare Coffee
LET l)S HELP VOl
I 1. Use POLET’S FRESH ROASIED, FRESHLY GROUND, PURE
] COFFEE.
2. Don’t make coffee like tea—-Use sufficient coffee, about one
table spoon to a cup. j
3. Don’t use water that has been boiled befoie—use fresh water
4. Don’t allow the^coffee to continue boiling after same has
come to the boiling point--This spoils good coffee.
5. Don’t expect POLET’S FRESH ROASTED COFFEE to be
ready in one minute after it' has come to the boiling point-—WHY?
Because there is no artificial coloring in our coffees and that flavor,
colorHand strength must ooze out from the pure coffee kernel—-That

mately revealed today through the pub

ing of the great German drive against
the fortress the attacking forces have,
lost a total of seven hundred and eight ,
thousand men killed, wounded and cap- ,
f lured. Tile statement asseri* that tie
slaughter has been the most sanguinary
in the history of warfare and losses of
thirty and forty thousand men per da>

Companies and battalions were literal
ly sacriflood by dozens in the German
rushes made in the face of intense ma
chine gunfire and tie complete anniht1
ation of a line of charging soldiers was
