SUBSTITUTE FOR TEA.

The active principle of tea is ''theine." That of coffee is caffeine. But caffeine and theine are exactly the same thing.
 This agreeably stimulating aka Ibid is found in other plants, one of which grows wild and plentifully in the South Atlantic states, where it is called 'yaupon," or sometimes "Christmas-berry tree"
 The Indians brewed a beverage from the leaves of the yaupon long before the first white man landed on this continent; and during the Civil war it was used as substitute for tea by people in the South.
 The government plant bureau is experimenting with it, in the belief that the leaves, when properly cured after the manner of tea, will furnish a palatable cup at a much less cost. Philadelphia Ledger.

Never was a scheme more sordidly
selfish. Never were political tactics
more stupidity destructive. For their
own petty interests they are ready to
bring down a calamity on their fel-
low citizens--for the traction chaos
that will result from failure to begin

calamity.
The Mayor has now been in Office
more than four years. During that

to mend transit conditions. The mu-

the mounting expense of city gov
ernment. 1t will at best take five
years, and probably ten, TO get new
subways in operation. Think Of what
postponement implies!
The constant cry against monop-
oily and greedy "interests' has. of
course, been merely valueless noise.
The real purpose is obstruction to
keep a political issue alive. 'Let 'em
walk and crowd and scramble to get
aboard if only we can hold" say

President Harding aptly sums nm

from the point of view of many pro-

because 1t does not go far enough in
THIS direction. So complicated has
become the art of war, they say, that
not even the rudiments may be
learned in months training each
year for three years. But the ex-
perlence Of the war has shown that
even the one months course given in
the original Plattsburg camps in
1915 and 1916 was invaluable
when it came to the formation of the
vast national army. Thanks to the

Upon his death his BODY was s1b-
Jected to an autopsy by some of the
country's most prominent medical
specialists.

study Of Johns brain, rates it at
81 on the same scale on which he
rated the brain Of two-year-old
child at 81. Nearly as far behind
John Daniel as John was behind the
baby he placed the ch;mpanzee, with
rating of 8312. From discussing
the shape of the brain and its rela-

Tariff Rates on Brick

The presentation to the Senate of
Mr.. untermyer's memorial regard
ing tariff rates or building materials
raises again the question Of the true
purpose Of tariff duties. The Senate
Finance Committee increased rates
IN the brick schedule and has asked
the Senate to approve these in
creases.
The report of the Lockwood COM
mittee shows that in the first six
months Of 1920 the cost of brick de-
lvered in New York City was $11.25
a thousand, while the selling price
was S28.75. Mr.. Untcrmyer COM
plains that conditions which existed
then arc reappearing in the building
materials industry because Of the
present revival of building in this
city. Senator Calder, commenting
on the situation here. said bluntly:
For my part. | would place bricks
absolutely on the free list
1t is evident that if brick costing
Sll25 a thousand to produce can be
sold to the home builder at s2s.75,
there is little need Of tariff to pro-
tect the manufacturer against for
elgn competition. The brick makers
seem perfectly competent to protect
themselves, tariff or no tariff. A
higher duty is either a meaningless
rounding out Of schedule percent
ages, or it is an additional anchor
thrown to windward for the benefit
of manufacturers who are tending to
establish a monopoly in the home
market.
In the Fordney and the McCunlber
tariff bills too little attention is be
ing given to the balancing of interest
between the domestic producer and
the domestic consumer Excess tariff
rates are as much a sin against the
true principle Of protection IS in
adequate rates are. In the Repuh-
llcan national platform of 1916 the
protective doctrine is clearly stated.
The tariff plank Of that platform
reads in part:
The Republican party stands now.
as always, in the fullest sense for the
policy Of tariff protection to American
Industries and American labor. and
does not regard all antl-dumping pro-
vision q s al adequate substitute. Such
protection should be reasonable in
amount but sufficient to protect ade-
quately American industry and Amer
can labor. and be so adjusted as to
prevent undue exactions by monopolies
and trusts
The Lockwood committee charges
that bricks are being sold at extor-
tlonate prices. It is the Senate's
duty to investigate this charge and
to reduce or remove duties which
might be made a cover for the eX
ploltation of the home builder. 1t
Is all right to give the domestic man
ufacturer a fair duty to protect him
against g. foreign competitor on the
cost of his finished product. But it
is an injustice to give him protection
on an inflated selling price.

lax Exemption Constitutionality

lax Exemption Constitutionality

Sir: There is a constitutional pro-
hibltion against the Legislature pass
Ing laws granting realty and personally
tax exemption.
Notwithstanding such, at least twenty
TAX exemption bills become law every
year and there must be at least a
thousand of such laws in force ex-
emptlng hundreds Of millions of realty

not?

that all the rent laws would be de-
clarsd constitutional by the Court of
Appeals and the United States Supreme
Court.
The trouble with the opponents of

stand the attributes of government and
