Asks for Injunction

The government also applied for a tenn porary injunction restraining the valoriza- ton committee from removing or dispos-
 ing of coffee held in America pending the termination of the issue.
 Members of the valorlzation committee have agreed and conspired among them selves, the government charges. to with hold from the market the large quantities Of coffee, and raise the price to an un- reasonable extent. They have thus at tempted, 1t Is declared. to restrain the cof- fee trade throughout the world and 'to inture and defraud the public for their own enrichment
 The suit has a distinctly international Is party to the agreements. which are de- clared unlawful in America. The gov ernment holds that the Brazilian state was induced to enact laws and enter Into agreements in connection with the valor-
 izatlon plan by those interested in in- creasing the price of coffee The fact that l the alleged agreements and conspiraeles were not unlawful in Brazil, the govern
 ment holds, cannot justify the comns-
 sion of any act in the United States to | restrain trade.

Chinese Way of Keeping Fruits.

From the American Wine Press.
1t is common practice Of fruit mer.
chants in China to keep perishable fruits
in fresh condition by the use of large
and very thick eartnen jars. x quantity
of broken ice is put In the bottom of each
jar and upon this is placed a woven
wicker basket in which the fruit is kept.
The jar Is closed with wooden cover
which often has a strip of felt around il
to make the insulation as complete as
possible. DR.. Myer says it is wonderful
how well this simple continuance serves
its purpose.
