betel Nut Chswsrs.

Writing Of the disgusting betel
chewing habit, the United States
consul at Siam says: "The green
leaf of the betel pepper, smeared
with red lime; tobacco, catechu and
the areca nut make up the material
used in betel chewing. This habit
is quite universal among the Sia-
mese, especially among the women:
Siam does not produce enough betel
nut for home consumption, but i'm
ports from India, Singapore and
Java annually about 100000
pounds"

Loud applause and cheers interrupt

continued:
II am afraid Congress will not take

REVOLT AGAINST DICTATORSHIP.

Germany has spared no pains IN deVlslng
means to break the alliance against her. Thus
far she has not succeeded and in more than one
instance her attempts have reacted dangerously
against her.. Now there seems possibility
that there is threatened disruption OF her own
alliance. There can be no question that she has
maintained military dictatorship since the
outbreak of the war. Such a dictatorship IS
safe only as long as the military power exer-
cising it shows such superiority to its foes
that threat of active displeasure overweighs a
natural resentment at being reduced to sub
serviency There seems to be trouble brewing
in Bulgaria. If there is, it is not surprising
There probably would be trouble for Germany IN
Austria and Hungary if the dual monarchy was
not so completely in the power of Germany at
present Bulgaria is more aloof from Germany
and near neighbor to Russia There has been
dire suffering in Bulgaria; we know this
through Red Cross reports. 1t is said Bulgaria
refuses to comply with certain demands Of Ger
many Perhaps the time has come when that
nation is balancing in thought what it must
bear from continuance under German autoc
racy and what it might gain if that author
ity were denied.

GERMAN IMITATION FOODS.
Ingenious Mixtures Of Flour and
Spices Sold as Meat

British Medical Journal: In the Jour-
nal which he edits, Prof ]. Schwalbe
has given a gloomy account of the ex-
tent to which the shortage OF food has
been exploited in Germany by the food
Iadulterator. At first complaints made
against adufterated food failed to Sc

or the adulterator got of because he
pleaded good intentions. In other
cases the fines inflicted were absurdly
small Then the authorities warned
the public against the most notorious

Inquiries addressed by Schwalbe to
fifty food regulation authorities reveal
ed an erschreckendes (dreadful) state
of affairs. According to one of these
authorities, food substitutes were in
Vulnerable. The analysis Schwalbe
gives of substitution for chops and
sausages are a convincing refutation
of the common belief that the Teuton-
ic mind is merely initiative, not inven-

In September, 1915, steps were taken
to prevent the manufacture and sale of
foodstuffs by 'undesirables,' but the ex-
pected effect was not obtained, and in

sued, making compulsory the pub1ica-
ton, on the wrapper or case of the
manufacturers name, the date OF
manufacture, the composition, quantity
and price. Supplementary regulations
had to be issued in June and August,
as the shortage of fats had created ir-
iresistible temptations. The penalties
for infringing these regulations includ-
ed Imprisonment up to six months and
I fines up to 1900 marks.
| But again the genius Of the substf-
! tute maker surmounted these OBJ
stacles. AS a relatively mild example
Schwalbe gives the case of manu-

"AS ON FORMER OCCASIONS

in the saving. "Alls fair in love and

for that basic principle OF German
diplomacy. '.All's fair in peace
After the war had begun we could
see certain fourth rate decency In
Germany's beginning an anti-Amerl-

campaign in Peru was begun when
Germany and the United States were
still on friendly terms. And the dis
closures of German plots arouse our
indignation less because of their In
herently churlish character than be-
cause they were engineered by Ger
man diplomats in time of peace. we
agree with the New York Times:
THE German imperial government
has lost the capacity to surprise US
by these swift-coming evidences OF
it's infamy. Treacheries, betrayais,
falsehoods, plots, and all the detest-
able arts of the hypocrite, of the
malignant enemy masquerading as
friend, are Of its very nature and
habitual practice and have been for
years"
Understandings Negotiations! We
want neither. We want peace. We
want peace that will last. We do
not propose, now or later, to resume
friendly relations with a dynasty that
has persistently betrayed our trust
and is prepared to do it again. We
shall deal with the German people.
1t is a fair guess that a consider
able fraction Of the German people
is already in mood to deal with
us. Munsterberg, German and vio-
lently pro-German. threw up his
hands when he heard that Germany
had declared war, and cried: my
Cod What diplomacy 1t means
the destruction of the German en-
pire." Are there not Germans
in Germany who. though they con-
done plots and hypocrisies, boil with
wrath when they think of ministers
and ambassadors not only STOPPING
that low but getting caught? A fine
outcomel A fine result of infamy
and cunning A fine disclosure of
the long worship German demigods-
supermen not up to the average.
