SEN. KENYON SCENTS
WAR TRADE SCHEME
CONTINUED From Page l..

up the chief business committees in
the councils list are from west of Chi
cago, while there are 1875 or more from
New York City alone. He does not as
sert that western business men would
be any more generous than New York
ers, but he thinks they would be less
likely to follow the directions Of Wall
street clique.
In the opinion Of the junior senator
from Iowa and in the view of many
other members Of the upper house, the
time has come for public understand
ing with the council of national de-
tense. At the first word of warning It's
to the capitol to lobby against Ken
yon's amendment.
WAReURo SOLD BUSINESS.
None Of them has done as Paul War
burg did. When he entered the federal
reserve board he sold ont his business,
so that he could be truly disintarested
In matters coming up for official deci.
sion. Nor have any Of them refused
to have their firms considered when
contracts were pending. That would
be impracticable. Finally, none Of them
have sought to have the actual power
the hands Of men who should be actual
employees Of the government.
To Senator Kenyon and many others
in congress this situation looks dan
gerous. Men not really responsible to
the public are handling fabulous sums
Of money, to be raised by taxes laid up.
on the food and homes and general
living expenditures Of the people.
These irresponsible agents are buying
from themselves at profit The temp
tat,on to be over-generous to them
selves Is the thing which congress will
have to deal with.
cUMMiNs BUCKS COMMISSION.
Senator Cummins Is Of the opinion
that the power to direct the operatioN
of the railroads of the country. as HI
means of securing proper Distributed
of coal cars and of coal, Is now In tn
hands Of the government. He finds q.
In the national defense act, and In the
priority bill. Under these two meas
ures the president has sufficient auth 4
ority to compel the railroads to operS
ate their lines as he may direct, IN
every detail. throughout the period OF
the war.
For this reason Senator Cumnrins
does not favor the proposal that con-
gress enact special Legislation such ~
proposed by the federal trade commits
sion to secure delivery Of coal. II the
authority were not already voted, he
says, he would favor It's being given to
the government now. He is In full &C
cord with the plan Of the commission
for the government direction Of the
coal industry, through pool based on
fair purchase at the mines.

SLUSH TOO MUCH
FOR POWER PLANT
Auxiliary Station Supplies
City With Light.

Unusual weather conditions caused a
temporary shutdown in the power
plant OF the Missoula Light & Water
Co. early yesterday morning. The sud-
den freezing and thawing which has
been going on in the Blackfoot and
Missoula rivers has produced an unus-
ual amount Of slush ice. For several
days the ice has been accommodating in
the pond above the dam at Midtown.
by yesterday morning II had collected
in such amounts that 1t was pushed
over booms and between piers and into
the runways of the turbines in the
power plant. The ice in the wheels
made 1t necessary to shut down the
engines.
Aissoula was in darkness only for
n few minutes, however. The dynamo
in the substation in the heating plant
in Missoula was Immediately pressed
into service, and shortly afterwards
the plant of the Western Lumber COM
pany ut Midtown augmented the sup
ply OF electricity sent out into NIissoula.
These two plants furnished the city
with light from ! o'clock Tuesday
morning until late into the afternoon,
when the dynamos in the big power
house were again started.

FIGHT FOR NEWLANDS'
PLACE IS UNDER WAY
Smith and Pomerene Claim
ants for Commission Job.

Washington. Dec. 25.-Dispute over
seniority membership Of the senate in
terstate commerce committee between
Senator Smith Of South Carolina and
Senator Pomerene OF Ohio is expected
to precipitate a sharp fight when the
committee meets to name chairman
In place of the late Senator Newlands.
The present congressional directory 1t
developed today, records Senator
Smith as the ranking member Of the
committee who. according to prece-
dent, succeeds TO the craftsmanship. En-
animation of directories for previous
years. however, shows that Senator
Pomerene was appointed to the COM
mittee in 1912, his name first appearing
in the directory issued In April for
that year, while the South Carolina
senator's name did not appear until
the directory issued one year later.
The committee craftsmanship is one
of the most important now in the sen
ate because OF the supreme interest in
transportation problems.

Dangers of Watered Coffee

Watered stock, watered milk, and watered coffee-the United States Gov ernment is carrying on q crusade to eliminate all three.
 Everyone knows about watered stock. Everyone has seen "blue milk" the combined efforts of COW and the old pump But not everyone is on his guard against "watered coffee"
 That the United States Government realizes the danger of watered coffee Is shown by the specifications for the United States Army supplies. These specifications say plainly:
 "Coffee: roasts must be dry
 roasts, no water being permitted
 before. during or after the process
 of roasting
 Water in coffee is a piece of dishon- esty practiced by interruptions coffee roasters. They turn the hose on the coffee while it Is being roasted, so that it won't lose weight, as coffee will. when properly roasted. In roast ing. coffee should lose about 16%o of its weight If it is watered 1t loses but 4Gc. The difference, of course, is water. for which you pay coffee value.
 This is adulteration and nothing more. The water-lOgged coffee Is rank and unhealthy. Of course, 1t Is not honest to charge for coffee, and sell coffee beans soaked in water.
 A lot of watered coffee is being sold no doubt right in this town. It is more often met with in the lower priced grades of bulk coffee.
 As coffee is such an important bev- craze, pure food authorities are ad- vising housewives to use the greatest care in selecting their coffee. The pure food experts say that the best way to avoid watered coffee is to buy some reliable packaged brand, roasted by reputable coffee roaster as Arbuekle Brothers of New York.-Adv.
