Coffee Substitutes in penna

OSSs's1sSS III DS'uIai rs
For months coffee has been almost
unpbtainanle in Denmark. When any
IS to be had it sells for as much as
80 pound. This naturally has stimu-
lated the production Of coffee eubsti-
tutes. 1t is now reported that about
l5.OOO tons of various kinds of raw
materials have lately been used for
making these substitutes. One report
says that 5000 tons Of acorns, 1900
tons Of dandelion, 1000 tons Of chicory
and 2,3OO tons Of sugar beets have
been roasted. ground up, and sold for
coffee substitutes. Acorns sell for
about IL cents a pound. ~

"How IL Uncle Sam able to raise suf-

~ might ask just now. when the
prices Of shoes are soaring almost
above the average purse.
This question was. however, an.
swered at recent meeting In Allan.
dc City of the American Leather Chem.
lists association, which was also at
tended by several members Of the
American Chemical society. Their dis.
cussion on this subject proved most
conclusively that the boys in service
are being provided with the finest quail
ity leather in their army shoes and
that 1t Is surpassed by none.
Another interesting fact developed
in their discussion-that the army
shoes are made with the flesh side of
the hide outside. In this way grease
may be readily applied to the leath-
or from time to time in order to Eeep
it waterproof.
1t was most gratifying to learn that
in every frst-aid kit the soldier carries
tube of paste to apply to the feet in
order to prevent trench sores, which
were so common in the early days Of
the war. These sores are caused by
the alkaline water in the trenches. but
If the feet are promptly protected by
an inert grease no such bad effects
result.
Thus we see that Uncle Sam is deal.
ing with the question Of the army shoe
from the soldiers viewpoint of com
fort and protection. as we'll as from his
own standpoint of the wearing. quail
ties. The government recognizes that
the soldiers feet are his best friend
and 1t Is doing everything to help to
keep them So

starting to worry over the question Of

order to save money and also time
spent in Juggling buttons.

editor discovered that before going

BOUNDING OF CANADA.

Today marks the 54th anniversary of one of the most momentous events in the history of British America the gathering of the Fathers of Con- federation" in Quebec to begin that memorable confereoce which resulted in the union of the Provinces.
 It was on Oct. 10, 1864, that the delegates assembled in the ancient capital of Canada to continue the epochal discussions which had al- ready been initiated by preliminary conference tn Char1ettetown. A French-Canadian statesman, Sir Eli enne PaschaI Tache, was unanimously chosen chairman. John A. Macdonald was perhaps the foremost figure in the historic assemblage of great men George Etienne Cartier was the spokesman for the Conservatives ot Quebec. George Brown, an early ad vocate of the union of Catholic su premacy. Alexander Tinoch Galt wa: another staunch defender of the Prot estants. Thomas Darcy McGee, the eloquent Irishman, stood for the Hi bernian section of Canada's popula ton. Hector L. Langevin and Jean c Chapais were the remaining French men from Canada. Oliver Howat William McDougall, James Cockburl and Alexander Campbell complete' Canada's representation. Charles \Tup per headed the Nova Scotian delega ton while Newfoundland and Prime Edward Island sent their foremos rren.
 Such was the gathering which con, pleted plans for the confederation
 When these plans were complete Newfoundland and Prince Edwar
 elected to remain out of the unior 1 but in 1873 Pope and Haviland tw | of the Fathers went to Ottawa an
 arranged terms by which the bab | Province was admitted to full sister | hood in the confederation.

SEN. KELLOGG
 ATTACKS SALARY
 TAXATION TODAY
War Powers of Congress Cannot Suspend Constitu-
 tional Limitations.

Washington, Oct. 10-Taxation ot salaries of state officials and of in comes derived from interest on state and municipal bonds is provided in the house draft of the new $8,000,- OO0.OO revenue bill was attacked as unconstitutional today by Senator Kellogg of Minnesota, Republican.
 The war powers of congress do not extend so far as to suspend cnstitu- tional limitations, Senator Kellogg said taking issue with Senator Knox of Pennsylvania, who in g recent speech upheld the right of the Fed eral government to tax state instru- mentalities.
 "I do not believe that the neces- sities of the war justify the govern ment laying its hands upon the sover- eighty of the states,' said MT. Kel- logg. "The continuance of our dual form of government, the stability, in dependence and effectiveness of our state and municipal governments are of the greatest importance to the peace and happiness of the nation and the perpetuity of our institutions
 "I do not believe there is any such exigency in the Federal government to require this doubtful and danger ous experiment. From the statements of the secretary of the treasury, but small revenue will be received. The tax is not imposed on the incomes of bonds heretofore issued but only upon the incomes from bonds hereaf- ter to be issued.
 ''In time of war, when of necessity all powers of the Federal government are marshaIed, let us not, under the guise of war, undertake to change | the fundamental principles under which the states and Federal govern ments maintain their separate exist ence.:'
 The inhibition of the Federal con i stitution does not arise from any ex pressed limitation, Senator Kellogl said, but the want of power arise from the nature of the sovereignty 0 the Federal government and the linn tied sovereignty of the state govern ments.

TODAY'S ANNIVERSARY.

The first president of the republic of Mexico was Manuel Felix Fernan- deg, who was inaugurated ninety-four years ago today, Oct. 10, 1924. When the Spaniards were driven out of the City of Mexico in 1921, the victorious Gen. Iturbide set up an imperial court, and assumed the title of Aug ustin I. Within few months the republicans under Santa Ana and other generals, started a revolution which was successful, and Fernandez was chosen the first president. He is known to history as Guadalupe Vic toria which he substituted for his legitimate name to commemorate 3 victory he gained over the Spaniards He retired from office in 1929, and died at Perote in 1843. The most noteworthy feature of his admins tration was the abolition of slavery in 1925.

DANBURY CROCERS
 PUNISHED FOR FOOD VIOLATIONS

Hartford, Oct. 1O-Announcement was made today by Federal Food Ad- ministrator Scoville that he had con- victed two Dapbury retail grocers for violating the new wheat flour sales regulation and had ordered them to pay contributions to the Red Cross in lieu of closing them up by cutting off their supplies from licensed whole salers.
 G. Pastore X Co.,, who was found guilty of selling half-barrel of flour for ST. without the necessary 20 per cent of substitutes, was ordered to pay $I00, to the American Red Cross, and Peter Gabrielle & Co.,, who sold an eighth barrel of flour without the necessary six pounds of substitutes was separated from $50 donation to the Red Cross.
 MT. Scoville said that he intended to make good his warning that the first serious offender against the new wheat. sales rules will be put out of business and intimated that a case which has been under investigation for several weeks would soon be dis posed of by the issuance of an unfair order which, while it runs, will for bid licensed wholesalers rom selling foodstuffs to the convicted dealer.
