INTERESTING DATA.
Regarding the Consumption of Coffee in
the United States.

| The production OF coffee has increased
| from the few pounds grown in ancient
times in a restricted area, in an obscure
part OF the globe, to the gigantic crops
produced to-day in many countries. One
modern plantation alone, contains over
8 100000 trees. The worlds production
for the crop year l9l2.l9l3 was 49,
$4,000 bags. For the crop wear 1913
1914 over 100000 bags is estimated
An old time New York market report
dated December 20, 1928 gives the fol-
lowing:
The import of coffee during the past
week was two tierccs, one barrel, 7l5
bags"
For December. 1919, the imports OF
coffee into the United States averaged
over l3s000 bags per week.
The consumption of coffee in the
United States has increased from POS
pounds for each person, in 1896, to an
estimate OF over 10 pounds in 1914 for
vastly increased population.
The yearly consumption for each per
son. averaged by periods OF twenty
years, complied from reports OF the Unit +!
ed States department of commerce, il as
follows:
Yearly Per Capita Consumption-Aver-
age for Twenty Years.
ls45 10 1879, SIS plus pounds
1894 10 1913, 1925 plus pounds.
1874 to 1898. 81 plus pounds
Thus il Is shown that coffee drinking /
by the people Of the United States has
increased with the increasing greatness
Of the country; and that coffee is more
aud more universally admired and re.
garded As the indispensable national bey.
arage.-Adv.

Congress Not Likely to Take
Up Congressman Gard
ner's Alarm
NOTHING BEING DONE
TOWARD FUNDS
However, Naval Policy of
the Year Has Not Been
Decided Upon

Washington, ID. c., Oct. 2O.--Ihe Gard
ner resolution looking toward the form
ulation of military and naval policy
for the United States has been the sub
ieet of careful perusal by tie admin
stration, but so far the administration
is not prepared to make any comment
/ upon it. Neither will the administra
ton indicate frankly its attitude to-
wards the increased war appropriations
which are being demanded in many quar-
tiers for national defense. The admin
istration, however, is known to be re-
Iuctant to recommend radical changes in
the status quo. At the White House
yesterday it was ntimated that the cry
for better means of national defense is
an old cry and is not to be taken too
seriously but it was made clear that
the question of formulating a military
policy had not yet been taken up by the
cabinet.
Secretary Daniels is preparing state
ment in reply to a criticism published in
local paper in which the navy "as "a
collective whole as great war instru-
ment does not exist" The article is
said to be based upon the opinion of
high naval expert Mr.. Daniels will take
direct issue with the views set forth,
and will probably make this an occasion
to commend the work of the general
board to which is entrusted the task of
supervising naval policy
The naval programme for the coming
year is still in doubt the secretary him
self not vet having received reports from
his subordinates or having determined
in advance for himself apparently what
our naval policy should be. Secretary
Daniels, it can be reliably stated, is not
a profound student OF naval affairs, is
strong peace man and is inclined to OPP
pose the propaganda OF big navy" men.
He is making use of the war situation
in Europe to reserve his decision as to
the naval programme until the last MIN
ate, limiting that the result of possible
naval engagement between Germany and |
England would necessitate a reversal of |
plans made at the present time. II is
Freely admitted among naval officers that |
me submarine question - the most I'M |
oortant one confronting the trainers of
he next naval appropriation.

nan Henry of the committee on rules

NEE FUL KNOWLEDGE
Alma People Should Learn to De-
tect the Approach of Kidney
Disease.

The symptoms of kidney trouble are
many. Disordered kidneys often excrete.
thick, cloudy, offensive urine, full of
sediment, irregular of passage or at
tended by sensation of scalding. The
back may ache. headaches and dizzy
spells may occur and the victim is often
weighed down by feeling of languor
and fatigue. Neglect these warnings
and there is danger. Delay often proves
fatal.
You can use no better endorsed kid
ney remedy than Doan's Kidney Pills.
Here's Alma proof of their merit.
Mrs. A. Oboyle, III Elwell ST.. Alma,
Mich, says: Il was bothered consider
ably by dull pains in my back. l got a
box of Doan's Pills and used them with
the best results. They drove away the
backache and relieved the other kidney
ailments. During the past several years
| have had no further need of kidney
medicine
Price SOC, at all dealers Don't simply
ask for kidney remedy-get Doan's
