which must always be measured and freshly 
drawn, stir thoroughly, put on stove in hot place, 
but do not permit to boil. In io minutes stir 
again, pour a little cold water down the spout 
to wash out any grounds that may be there, and 
pour a little in the coffee itself. Keep on the 
stove for another io minutes, and the coffee is 
ready to serve—delicious, full of flavor, a drink 
that you’ll enjoy. 
A BIRCH BARK CUP. 
Editor Forest and Stream: 
There is a type of birch bark cup frequently 
seen in the woods that is absolutely tight and that 
will sit on its own bottom. It also has the ad¬ 
vantage of being as easily made as any other, 
though it may take a little longer to put it to¬ 
gether. This is made by taking a square piece 
of bark six or seven inches across and folding 
it four times along lines parallel with each edge 
and say two inches from the edge. The folded 
edges are then brought into position at right 
angles with the plane of the bottom, and fastened 
where they lap over with wooden skewers. You 
then have a box shaped cup two or three inches 
square with sides two inches high. Of course 
the proportions may be varied to suit the re¬ 
quirements. Such a cup makes a good coffee 
cup and saves the bother of carrying tin ones.

MIGRATORY BIRD LAW TO BE RE-ARGUED. 
The United States Supreme Court on Febru¬ 
ary 29, ordered a re-hearing or re-argument of 
the migratory bird case. No date has been set 
for this, and it may be months before the case 
is decided. In the meantime the law is the law 
of the land and will be enforced strictly, as vio¬ 
lators may learn to their sorrow. The action of 
some state game authorities in allowing spring 
shooting has been rightly condemned as a plain 
setting up of their own authority over that of 
the United States. The argument may mean any 
one of several things—a divided court, a feeling 
that the Justices who did not take part in the 
first hearing should be given an opportunity to 
hear it—but conjecture is idle. The main fact 
is that a strong case has been made out and the 
final decision will probably be a broad and im¬ 
portant one as defining the real police powers of 
the Federal Government. 
A SUMMER HOME OR GAME PRESERVE 
FOR THE ASKING. 
The liberal laws of the Province of Quebec 
permit the leasing at little cost of the fishing and 
hunting rights on wild lands to individuals and 
clubs. If you want a lake of your own, or if 
you want the exclusive hunting privileges on an 
extensive area of virgin territory, a line to Hon. 
Honore Mercier, Minister of Colonization, 
Mines and Fisheries, Quebec, Canada, will bring 
you full information. The Province permits the 
leases to United States citizens as well as to 
Canadians.

All Smoking Tobaccos Are Aged 
Have to be to make them smok- 
able. Tobacco in its natural state 
is raw and harsh. Ageing makes 
it mellower, milder. 
The leaf for some tobaccos is 
aged for only one or two years. 
That for Tuxedo is aged in wooden 
hogsheads for three to five years— 
until it is as nearly perfect as nature 
can make it. 
Most manufacturers simply age 
the leaf and let it go at that. But— 
Tuxedo Is More Than Aged 
After nature has done all it can to 
mellow the leaf, then the original “Tux¬ 
edo Process” is applied. 
This famous process—a doctor’s dis¬ 
covery— takes out all the bite left by 
nature. Prevents irritation of mouth 
and throat. Makes Tuxedo the mildest, 
most comfortable smoke possible to pro¬ 
duce. Enables men to enjoy a pipe who 
formerly could not do so. 
The “Tuxedo Process” has many 
imitators.. Millions of dollars have been 
spent trying to invent a ‘j ust *as-good” 
process. But it still remains the great 
original method for making tobacco ab¬ 
solutely biteless and non-irritating.
