OVER Two.FlFTHs
OF the Marketed Coffee of the World
Used In United States.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 90
The per capita consumption of Coffee
In the United States, according to fig.
ures, collected by the Department of
Commerce and Labor. is 1919 pounds
a year. Holland is the only country
that exceeds this amount, the per
capita being 14.ss. In tea drinking,
Great Britain leads with COB pounds
per capita, the United States showing
1s3o.
Roughly speaking" says the re.
port of the department on this sub.
ject between two.fifths and one-half
of the marketed coffee of the world
is taken by the United States. An
other fact worth mentioning is that
the rate OF consumption of coffee and
tea wherever they have become part
OF the popular diet, tends to increase
continually. Taking only these coun-
tries, the statistics OF which show con
siderable consumption Of coffee, such
as the United States. Germany, United
Kingdom, Holland, Belgium, France
and Austria-Hungary we find that
the combined consumption in these
countries has increased almost sixty
per cent. in the past ten years as
compared with an increase of popula-
tion of about 80 per cent. In the
United States the total consumption
has almost doubled in quantity, while
the per capita consumption has in
creased nearly 81 per cent"

'AUDACITY AUDAC[TY AGAIN
and AldaGity Always"

This phrase, once used to describe the characters. and methods
of the men who directed the French Revolution, has been made into
a pretty well-ftting cap for the American business man. Europeans
give it as the creed Of the American Captain of Industry"
Here, among ourselves, when a merchant raises a little trade
commoion-when he turns a dull or normal season into a busy and
profitable one through o squirt of enterprise, making an over. stock
of goods vanish in Zig time, y all through a surprising and unex-
pected campaign of newspaper advertising, his competitors merely
remark that hes got his nerve with himi' and begin to form quiet
plans for making his 'spurt'' look slow.
But they realize that "Audaciy, yoked always with Publicity,
must be their chief reliance that this pair of forces must pull all
enterprises out of the deep ruts-must make the bigger store in
eyitable-bigger expenses a matter of course-bigger net profits
possible.
When he first tries to drive Publicity and Audacity as a team.
the merchant has his misgivings Of a runaway. He has visions q.
being picked up by the Sheriff. and of being sent to the Foolish
Hospital And, once in a Thousand times, this happens-but not
much oftener than that.
The merchant who has never taken the chance of doing things
which require nerve andscourage will remain q small store.
keeper as we'll as the keeper Of a small store-and these two
things are not quite the same, you. must admit-until he acquires
enough audacity to determine him to break loose and start after
the leaders.

flANSKA WANTS A WATER SYSTEM
Proposition to Bond Village Voted
on Yesterday.

Voters of the village of Hanska were
called upon yesterday to express their
opinion as to whether or not the place
should have a system of water pro-
lection or not. There has been nothing
of the kind since the village has been
in existence and as result the insur-
ance rates have been very high and the
buildings and village in constant dan
ger of destruction by fire.
There are two plans outlined in the
proposition to provide protection,
one is to erect stand pipe and n.y.
drants and the other is to put in a
number of cisterns and use pumps for
pressure, as is the common practice
where the villages are not large enough
to make the other system pay because
of the lack of users of the water.
Many are afraid that if the stanc
pipe is used there will not be enough
of the water used to keep it fresh fol
the few that have it in their homes ant
then it will be still so much of the time
that in the winter there will be danger
of it's freezing.

WORKON MAIN SEWER BEGINS
Small Army of Men Makes Slow
Progress.
Ditch Opened First at the Foot OF
Center.Street.
Almost Entire Street Occupied
With Materials and Dirt.

The foot of Center street where it
runs into the river looks like the con-
structiOn work of a new railroad. At
one side of the center of the street is
being dug the $40, 900 ditch that is to
contain the main sewer of the city, in
to which all the refuse from the arteries
Of the place will pour their filth.
There is a small army of men at
work with picks and shovels and with
teams and scrapers and though there
are so many the progress of digging is
wonderfully retarded by the unyield-
ing clay that forms the banks Of the
Minnesota.
The water level is struck at about
ten feet and part Of the digging is done
near the river with the men standing
i'll the mud and water. 1t is proba bly,
the worst part of the work that will be
done in the line of digging for the ella y
at that point is extremely hard and re-
quires the use Of pick and shovel.
