Untermeyer read from tables to

Now the production was 100000

This was accomplished by Withholding

Sielcken testified that there were
1000 OOo bags of coffee now being held
out of the market by the valorization

member. On that amount 100000 bags
were in warehouses of the New York
Dock Company, he said.
Would not the price OF coffee go
down if this were put on the market?"

TWO LIQUOR LICENSE
 STATUTES IN CONFLICT
Application of Fenwick Hall for Sum- mer License Brings Up
 Question.

Middletown, June 14.-rhe apparent conflict between two laws of the state affecting the issuance of liquor licenses is now squarely before Judge William LA Bennett, sitting in the SUI perior court here. for his decision. The appeal of Horatio c. Chapman from the decision of the county commission CTS refusing him a license for his ho- tel sat Fenwick called attention to the difficulty of reconciling two of the ex- else statutes. One statute provides that a town may have only one li- cense to each 500 of population. An other statute, a later one. permits the issuing of summer licenses for four months in the year. Old Saybrook has all the licenses to which it is en- titled under the old law. but under the new law MT. Chapman thinks a summer license would not violate the limitation of ohe license to 500 people.
 When the case came to Judge Ben nett's attention in court last Monday he asked counsel to draft an agreed statement of facts. This they have done, and the statement was filed yes terday, thus furnishing the court with all the data needed for a decision of the case. The statement sets forth that the county commissioners have

MOSQUITO EXTERMINATIOa

Mosquitoes can be-indeed, are being eliminated from human experience in the United States. The Jersey mos that commonwealth alone; it breeds in the saltwater marshes all the way from Massachusetts to Florida, wher- ever a fresh-water stream dilutes the ocean saltiness sufficiently to attract the mosquito. Mosquitoes of the salt marsh group are not disease-breed1n however, though more intensely an moving than others. The Anopheles, which spreads malaria, and the Ste- gomyia, which conveys yellow fever, propagate in fresh water, in stagnant pools, even in standing water in hous- es The greater number of species seldom travel more than a few hun dred yards. from their breeding places and, away from salt marshes, most placa the problem of mosquito exter- imitation squarely before the individ- ual householder and the community immediately interested.
 Most mosquitoes-certainly those of the anopheles tribe, in which the fe- male of the species is far more dead
 ly than the male-are active only after dark. To rid house of them, one
 must fumigate with pyrethrum powder
 or some other substance that will make a dense smoke, taking care that no mosquitoes are allowed to turk in
 remote places to which the fumes have
 not access. A pound of pyrethrum is
 necessary for every thousand cubic
 feet of interior space. Screens, un-
 less absolutely tight, with mesh of
 twenty to the inch, are useless against mosquitoes.
 According to The Journal of the American Medical Association, the only means of permanently preventing mOs- Quitoes is the destruction of their breeding places, which may be any, where that water can accumulate and stand for ten days or more. It is very we'll to drain marshes, ponds, fountains and wet places in lawns and gardens; but exterminatiOn will not be thorough and effective unless one real izes that no body of water can be too small for mosquito nursery. My riads may breed in puddles by the roadside; in Unlicensed horse troughs; in chicken-pans in poultry-yards; in water cups standing on the frames of grindstones; in water that accumu- lates in furrows in gardens or fields, especially in clayey soil; in water pitchers in unused guest-rooms; in va
 ses in which water has not frequently
 ,1 changed; in discarded tin cans in back yards; in sewer catch-basins in fact, in any place where half a pint of water is allowed to stand. Since mosquitoes breed only in stand ing water, to eliminate them it is necessary simply to find and to drain or to oil all the possible breeding places.
 The city of Hartsville, S. C., little as to size, but big in enterprise, has for, several years past annually employed measufes which other communities may we'll emulate. It's health board first distributed to all householders circulars pointing out the dangers of mosquitoes and recommending screens and constant supervision of premises to prevent breeding. Then the coun- cil surveyed the entire city, drained low places where rain-water accumu- lated and made weekly inspections of all premises and ditches in town, put ting kerosene regularly on any water that could not be drained Or emptfed

The inhabitants of Harts- vile, it is said, now sit on their un- screened porches in the evenings with no discomfort from mosquitoes.

It is also set forth that Mr. Chapman's hotel had a license year after year until 1909, when the town voted no license.

lived with her son Charley, aged so,
in a small house about a mile north

with a fake telegram. She opened
the door about half an inch and
told him to shove the paper in, but

there has been a growing opposition
against the tax on sugar. AS it is, We
pay nearly two cents a pound because
of this tar'T and the chief beneficiary
is the sugar trust. A smart reduc-
tion in the price of sugar ought to
mean a big increase in the consump-
tion of it, which would in turn
bring about a higher price for the
product. In other words, the law of
supply and demand would then gov
ern the sugar market and the pro-
ducers of cane or beet sugar in this
country ought to find protection in
that fact.
OF course the democrats in the
House are playing politics. When
they had a chance to do away with
the sugar tariff, they refused to do
