ime, this method of making the beverage is
unqualifiedly condemned.

Steeping--that is, placing the coffee in cold water and permitting it to
come to a boil--is also deprecated. An infusion so made contains less
caffeine, to be sure, but it lacks the desired aromatic flavor and the
characteristic coffee taste.

In fine, the association leans to a method of coffee making known as
filtration. This consists in pouring boiling water once through finely
pulverized coffee confined in a close-meshed muslin bag. The resultant
infusion is one in which the percentage of tannin is extremely low.
There is a medium amount of caffeine, but the full flavor and
characteristic taste are present.

Editress Suffrage Cook Book:

This is to acknowledge yours of the 16th instant,
in reference to women's suffrage, and in reply
will say that while this right has been enjoyed
but a short time by our women, they have been
making excellent use of it. They are prompt to
register and vote, and their influence is most
always found upon the side of better government.
The result of their efforts is already being
reflected in a number of important measures
recently adopted in this state, which will make
for the public good.

Very truly yours,
OSWALD WEST.
Governor.

Cottage Cheese

To make cottage cheese effectively, with an aroma and delicacy equal to
its nourishment, a rich milk which has not lost time in souring should
be put in an earthenware or stone jar with the lid on, and placed in hot
water over a very slow fire until it is well heated with the curd
clotted from the whey. When it begins to steam the curd is drained a
very short period through cheese cloth. Well mixed with salt and butter
and pepper it is an ideal muscle and tissue maker.

Cottage cheese is much more easily turned into brawn, brain and bone
than any of the less porous, less ripe cheeses. In fact the curious
uncomfortably bloated sensation experienced by many who eat other
varieties of cheese is uncommon
