How Do You Prepare Coffee
LET US HELP VOll '
1if
1. Use POLET’S FRESH ROASTED, FRESHLY GROUND, PURE j
COFFEE.
2. Don’t make coffee like tea—-Use sufficient coffee, about one
table spoon to a cup.
3. Don’t use water that has been boiled before—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 wCOFFEEi to be
ready in" one ;min*ite after it has come to the boiling , point—WHY?
Because there is no artificial coloring in our coffees, and that flavor,
color,,and strength must ooze out from the pure coffee kernel—That
is why lit stakes a little longer than, the canned coffees’-to. prepare. |
■ Allow it to stand.about 3fcminutes after it has come to the boiling point
I TRY THESE RECIPES. I!
CAFE DE PARIS—Or FRENCH
COFFEE"—Is most generally pre
pared by mixing u cupful of
POLET'H FRESH ROASTED COF
FEE finely ground with ft raw
and shell hi a quart of cold water
mid placing the pot over a brisk
,■ fire, occasionally stirring It until
i tho boiling point Is reached, after
which sot tho vessol usldo to stm
mer for a few minutes, then pour
on n cupful of cold water and si
low to stand for eight or ten min
utes before serving, using cream
and sugar to soli.
CAFE NOIR—A black "after din
ner coffee”—is prepared better by
adding four ounces of "FORET'S
FRESH ROASTED AND FRESH
RY GROUND COFFEE to
a quart of absolutely boiling water
and allow to stand until it reaches
the boiling point, meantime pass
Ing it twice or thrice through the
coffee pot before serving.

cream and sweeten well, then mix
thoroughly and freeze to the con
sistency of cream.
POLET’S EXTRA COFFEE CAN
NOT BE EXCELLED If made in
an electric porcolator—use ono table

The true'flavor of pure coffee is so little known^tosome^persons
that many [who2drink~it[for the£first time doubt of its goodness—

A. P, A. Service.
CHICAQO, June 9.—(Delayed In trans
mission.)—Both sides are apparently
working hard to bring about a recon
ciliation between the republican factions
and lengthy conferences were held this
morning, but it is clear that the prog
gressives are responsible for the larger
portion of the peace overtures now that
the republicans show a decided inclina
tion to go ahead without considering the
progressive wishes
The republican leaderH, however, seem
to accept the view that the prospects
foar a reconcilation are gooil and are
therefore inclined to meet the prngres.
sivts half way.
All republican delegates who are ad
vocating the nomination of Roosevelt
were called Into conference , just before
the convention was reconvened today
and a lengthy discussion followed but
without result so far as Roosevelt's
chances are concerned.
When the convention resumed session
it seemed to he the general attitude
of the republicans that unless Roosevelt
eliminates himself as a candidate peace
between the two parties is impossible.
Fet, despite this attitude the conferees
are trying bard to bring the conventions
together and there are not a few re
publicans who believe that an agree
ment will be reached.
The conferees are Perkins. Hiram
Johnson and Horace Wilkensln, dins.

to see someone and It was In their

by a young man from Iowa. The

Somebody is always picking up the Al

SAN FRANCISCO, Jupno 9.-(Delayed
In transmission.)—The great longshon
men’s strike was declared off temporar
ily this morning following a meeting
of the representatives of the shipping
companies and strikers presided over by
mediator White. It is generally accepted
that mutters will be satisfactorily ad
justed as the shipping people display a
manifest inclination to meet the de
mands of the men. Many of the largci
companies have been losing immense
sums through the tie up in shipping and
have probably come to the conclusion
that it is cheaper to grant the wage
increase demanded by the strikers.
SEATTLE SHIPPERS AGREE.
SEATTLE, Juno 9.—Seattle employers
arc acceding to the proposal to pay the
demands of the longshoremen pending
arbitration.
The shipping tie up has been in this
manner temporarily relieved at nil
points and the men are to return to
work todny throughout the const.
