Explosives are solids which und.r

Today there are scores, even hun

tried Of leaving a few grains upon a

Numerous old American coins, some
of them bearing date as far back as
1880, have been offered to customs Off
Gals at New York recently by passen-
gers arriving on ships from France
and England. These coins, mainly
twenty-five and fifty-cent pieces, give
indication of having been in circula-
ton but little, suggesting that the war
and scarcity of money have led to the
unearthing of coins that have been
kept as souvenirs. The money is given
to the customs officers in payment Of
the special war tax stamp of twenty
FIVE cents that is attached to all In

CHEAP STUFF FROM JAPAN

II you, an American, bought a very
cheap toothbrush last year or this

was made in Japan. The Japanese
sold US 100000 toothbrushes last
year and will sell us more than that
this year. If you decorate yourself

certainty that the crab meat in your
salad or your chatting dish or your

some 100000 worth OF that product
last year and it does not cost much
per tin.

self is entered, there is no room for
a mysterious white race. Even the
dark continent Is no longer allowed
to have its mysteries. The photog-
rapher sits on the battered walls of
Kano; the Fulani emperors have
passed away.
One may no longer believe In the
existence of a strange white people
in the heart of equatorial Africa.
Rider Haggards splendid race is prob
ably only the Bahima, originally dis
covered by Spoke In southwestern
Uganda. At least Sir Harry Johnston
claims to have discovered in them a
clue to many of the mysterious white
race legends found in the dark CONT
nent. He was engaged in nothing
more thrilling than tour of inspec-
ton of Ankole when he came across
them. They are of a very light COM
plexion and are the aristocrats of this
region. Sir Harry holds that they are
obviously descended from a Gala,
Somali or other Hamitic stock, and
adds that some of them are more like
Egyptians than is the case with CALAIS
and Somalis. Romance disappears
before the tread of the explorer. The
dark continent is dark no more.

AS a result of the embargo placed
by the German government for some
months past upon the consumption OF
wheat bread, and the corresponding
use Of rye, the stocks of the two &C.
reals now are practically equal. The
war corn commission has therefore
been instructed to regulate its affairs
accordingly, and bakers are to be al
lowed to revert to an ample use or
wheat flour, although pure wheaton
loaves are not to be baked without
special permission. In view OF the
continued scarcity of potatoes, the fed
eral council has drawn up a list OF
substitutes which may be used in the
place of the potato -four admixture
prescribed for the making of bread.
The substitutes enumerated are maize,

account of the big demand for NUM-

desirable. Does anyone owe us graft

our "forgetters. Little sights should
be forgotten. Perhaps they were not

Remembering unpleasant trifies adds
to their importance. Persistently for

make them DESTROYS Of being worthy
