Tea From coffee Leav.,

Tea, as everybody knows, is made
from leaves,' while coffee is derived
from berries or beans. Just here is
where something has been overlooked,
in the opinion of a scientific investi-
gator. The leaves of the coffee plant
are not only available for making a
beverage, but they possess properties
which make them more valuable than
the coffee beans.
In appearance and fragrance the
dried coffee leaves very much resem-
BILE those OF the tea plant. An infu.
sion of them being made, just as in
the case of ordinary tea, an aromatic
beverage 10 produced that is bitter to
the taste, but not disagreeably so. and
which contains almost as much theme
as real tea, while there is a much
smaller proportion of tannin.
1t may yet be possible to grow tea
and coffee on the same plant.

ACT TO CHANGE WHOLE BANK
SYSTEM GOES THROUGH BY
SAFE MAJORITY.
VOTE WAS FIFTY-FUUR TO THIRTY-FOuR
One Progressive, and Six
Republicans Join Democratic Mem
bers on Roll Call-Had Previously
Passed House-Mrs. Wilson and
Party Of Friends Look On.

w DCC Gu- llC
ton currency reform bill, proposing
revision of the financial system OF the
I'm ted States and the creation of re-
gional reserve banks to act as stab
ilizing elements in the banking and
financial world. passed the senate last
night by vote of "a to 34
Forces that had fought together for
improvement and amendment of the
measure to the last, divided when the
final vote came. Senator Hitchcock,
who had led the opposition to the bill,
returned to the Democratic ranks and
Senator Weeks, one of the leaders
OF the Republican SIDE, with five 9TH
er Republicans and Senator Poindex-
ter, Progressive, voted for the pass
age of the measure.
Wide differences exist between the
form of the legislation as passed by
the senate and the bill that passed
the house several months ago. Demo
cratic leaders already have partly ad-
justed these differences, however, and
1t is predicted the bill will be COM
pleted by conference committee and
sent to Pres dent Wilson for his sig
nature by Monday night.
The adoption of the administration
bill, known as the "Owen bill follow
ed upon the formal defeat by A to Al,
of the Hitchcock bill" which had
been endorsed by Senator Hitchcock
and five Republican members of the
evenly divided senate committee that
passed on the legislation. The senate
had previously rejected, W thout roll
call, "a central bank" bill offered as
a substitute by Senator Burton.
Throughout the afternoon, when a
vote on the bill was momentarily eX-
pected, Mrs. Wilson, with a party of
friends from the white house, Secre-
tary McAdoo and Joseph p Tumulty,
President Wilson's secretary, were in
terested spectators of the senate's pro-
ceedings. Mrs. Wilson stayed in the
private gallery until o'clock, but left
before the bill had passed. Galleries
and the floor of the senate were
crowded throughout the day, and the
passage of the measure, which has
held congressional attention for many
months, was greeted with unchecked
applause from the galleries.
To hasten final enactment of the
bill that is expected TO reorganize and
give balance to commercial and finan-
cial conditions, the senate named
its conference comm ttee, which
will work with house committee to
compose the differences between the
two bills. The members are Senators
owen, O'Gorman, Reed, Pomerene,
Shafroth and Hollis (Democrats), and
Nelson, Bristow and Crawford IRE
publicans). Members of the house con-
ference committee already determined
upon are Representatives Glass,
Korbly Democrats) and Hayes Of
Cal fornia (Republicans.)
The house will name its conference
committee tomorrow. Many Of the
chief points of difference have already
been gone over between currency lead
ers of the two houses, in conference
with Secretary McAdoo o. the treas
ury department, and it is believed but
a short time will be required TO reach
compromise.

in Greenwood, she and Capt.

Oldest and most highly esteemed
families. Mrs. Estes was a deyout

the Methodist church in this city.
The funeral services were held

unquestionably one of the pret-
tiest of its kind ever seen in the
city. All the entrees received
favorable comment and the dec
Grated floats in the parade would
have done credit to any floral
parade in any city on such an oc-
casion
After the parade, the crowd re-
pared TO the Greenwood High

interesting game of ball was
played between the single and
married men. The ball game was
quite a surprise to the single men
who expected easy sailing in de-
feating the old married fellows
but the married men pulled off
three scores, a lead which they
never were able to overcome.
Then as a fitting climax for the
enjoyable day, a Grand Concert
was given at the new Greenwood

the Lexington Choral Club and

turned out for this rare musical
treat was rather disappointing,

rendered.

alton have been highly compli-
mented upon its success.

tered, and the judges finally
