MANY SUBSTITUTES
ARE DISPLAYED
AT LEIPZIG FAIR

According to tho Leipzig correspond
ent of n Christian newspaper, the heiP-
zig spring fair showed exhibits of many
substitutes and surrogatcs which have
been placed on the market in Germany.
Descriptions of some of these have been
received by the Nnited States Chamber
of Commerce:
A surrogate for pepper is offered for
sale which judged only by its appear
ance, seems almost the same as real
pepper. The color, od0r, and taste have
been surprisingly well initiated.
A tea is shown to which the name of
German tea has been given II Is
prepared from any one of a combination
of a great variety of plants, from
strawberry leaves TO linden blossoms
II is said TO taste very much like genu-
inc tea, but even a half dozen cups
will not produce the stimulation caused
by n single cup of real tea.
There are any number of surrogates
for marmalades Most of them are pre-
pared from garden vegetables instead
of from fruits, with a minimum amount
of sugar.
