CHICORY.

The first act interdicting the adu1-
teration of coffee with ,chicory was
passed in England sixty-eight years
ago today. The practice of com
bining the two products reached such
a point that the loss to the govern
ment in excise tax amounted to $780,
900 a year.
In America the practice was also
taken up but almost ceased some
forty years ago owing to the cheap
ness of the genuine article. England
prohibited chicory adulturation and
then amended her laws so that the
mixed product could be soldsin pack
ages bearing the label, Mixture of
Coffee and Chicory.
Chicory itself is abundant and
cheap. Notwithstanding this fact it
has not escaped adulteration, acorns,
rye, roasted wheat and carrots being
mixed with it. Chicory is a wild va
riety of ondive, and belongs to the
same family as the dandelion. 1t has
very little food value.

for Thomas Dodd, a slow, prosaic old

The government of the United
States is most sympathetic with any
sincere effort to evolve a construc-
tive plan for disarmament which is
80 necessary for the economic re-
habilitation, peace and stability of
the world. The president of the
United States is deeply interested in
this question. is most desirous of
cooperating to this end, but. as the
government Of the United States is
not member Of the league, he does
not feel justified in appointing a

Final action on Bulgaria's applica-
