Local retail and wholesale dealers in
tea and coffee. like their fellow merchants
in other parts of the United States, are
up i'm arms protesting, to the last notch,
against the bill which is now before the
ways and means committee of United
States congress to place q tax on tea and
coffee. The bill. which has stirred the tea
and coffee men to action will be of great
benefit to the men who control the coffee
and tea market in this country, but will
work somewhat of a hardship on the small
jobber and cOnsJ ner. As the measure
now stands the committee having it in
charge has recommended that DUTY of
cents a pound be placed on coffee. The
duty to be placed on tea has not been
fixed, nor will it affect the people so
much. according to the local merchant.
Thomas G. Griffin. local manager for
the wholesale department of the National
Importing Tea company, Retail Manager
Cecil and Hewlett Brothers company
have all expressed themselves Zainst the
measure and have declared their intention
of fighting it to the best of their abil-
ity.
The new bill which promises TO raise
the price on coffee at least 10 cents
pound before it reaches the consumer, pro-
vides that a duty of 4 cents pound shall
be levied on every pound of green coffee
that comes into the United States. BY tn =
time this coffee reaches the consumer il
must pass through six or seven hands and
each interest will demand T. little more
return for the additional capital invested.
According TO MI. OFllttlil. II u odit 10
say that coffee which now sells for p
cents pound will be advanced to 50
cents pound. and other grades Of coffee
advanced a similar amount.
In Salt Lake alone there is over 5000
pounds of coffee consumed each month,
which will cost on the average of q cents
a pound. The placing of duty on coffee
will mean the expenditure of several
thousands of dollars more each month for
coffee without any benefit being de-
rived.
THE average family uses about five
pounds of coffee month" said Mr.. Cecil.
retail manager of the National Importing
Tea company. THE placing of a duty Of
{ cents a pound on coffee means that an
additional expense Of 50 cents a month
will be made. The poor man is the one
the duty will hurt The rich man does
not care for this advance, but to a poor
man It will mean that he must deny him
self something.
The big importers in New York. who
have at the present time several million
bags of coffee stored in their warehouses
are in favor of this bill passing congress.
The average bag Of coffee weighs $50
pounds. Add cents a pound duty to this
and it will give the big fellows a profit

Transformed by Forests

A most striking example OF the trans
forming effect of forests, not only on
the appearance, but on the productivity
of country, is afforded by the Depart
ment of the Landes, in France. AT the
close of the eighteenth century about
2, 500, 900 acres of that region we're
"little more than shifting sand dunes
and disease -breading marshes. At
present the same lands are among the
richest most productive and healthful
in Farnce, and the change has been
brought about by intelligent cultivation
of pine forests. Even the character of
the climate of the region has been
ameliorated, and it has become mild and
balmy. A thin layer of clay beneath the
sandy upper surface soil, formerly i'm
pervious to water has been pierced by
the pine roots until thorough drainage
is established to the spongy earth which

effected away from oxidizing influences.
The paste is easily removed from the
cooled objects, but the surface retains a

Addition to
M. E. Hospital
to Cost $40, 900
New Wing Will Double Capacity of
Building, Though one-Fifth
Its Cost.

A campaign for 10000 for an additional
wing to the Nebraska Methodist hospital
at Thirty-sixth and Cunning streets. prob
ably will be started within a few weeks.
The board Of trustees has been called to
meet in Omaha next Tuesday evening and
the question OF making the canvass for
funds will be one Of the matters taken up
by tho board.
The additional wing which II is hoped to
build Immediately, while costing only about
one-fifth as much as the present building,
will double the capacity Of the hospital and
enable it to care for twice as many patients
as is possible now. This is because the
present building contains the expensive
constructions and the new wing can be de-
voted mainly to hospital beds. The present
equipment is large enough to take care Of
a building five times as big as the present
one, with five times as many patients, hence
the officers are anxious to get the new
wing under way as soon as possible in or
der that the present crowded conditions
may be relieved.
The proposed wing will be SOxsO feet in
size.
