FOR TEA IN
DEMAND
Collectors Seeking Examples
Of. Early Colonial Times.
Growth of Use

a. recent notice in the Science
Service Bulletin says that the Ger
/ NAH Institute for Research in Hu-
man Food has reached the conclu-
sion that beer is not nearly as
effective a stimulant as tea.
Tea, coffee, wines, liquor and
%iquids have brought into the
world Of art many beautiful speci-
mems of drinking vessels of all
shapes and made from all kinds OF
metals, porcelains, woods and other
materials and designed by some OF
the greatest artists.
There is no well-appointed collec-
Ition of art objects or antiques that
does not contain one or more specl-
mems Of rare old objects of this
character and connoisseirs are con-
stantIy on the lookout for them.
Tea and coffee, accompanied by
porcelain from which to drink 1t,
and sometimes lacquered tables to
serve it on, began to make some
figures in the houses of the colonial
gentry early in the eighteenth cen
! tury.
Before 1875, tea-"green and bo-
| hea''-had not only become estab-
lished in the larger towns, but had
found a secure lodgment among the
country gentry of Virginia and the
Carolinas.
In North Carolina the "better
sort" early showed a preference for
such sober liquors"
When "beaux" were announced in
the afternoon, Virginia young ladies
were accustomed to go out into the
hall and pour tea for them.
The Dutch of New York became
very fond of the new beverage.
They drank it after a fashion, of
their own, laying by each cup a
lump of sugar, which they put into
the mouth and held there while
they slipped the tea.
It is significant that the famous
well from which pure water was
carted into New York, to be sold
IN the street, was known as the
''tea-water pump"
Tea made its way into New Eng
land much more slowly than else
where, and was not in general use
until about the middle Of the cen
tury.
1h0Ie 10 d pICLtJ "OIA 0ObhCA1A
Gated story of some young ladies in
Connecticut who in their eagerness
to test the new drink boiled it in a
kettle and served it like broth with
the leaves for thickening. Coffee
was never so generally drunk as
tea in any of the colonies.
The excessive use of strong liq'
uors attracted less attention than
the rapid advance of tea-drinking,
which excited many fears among
conservative people. a% 94
1t was urged in the New York
Gazette of 1890 that tea produced
fatal effects on the health, and was
especially injurious to the mind.
The frequent loss of teeth in
America was set down to the ac-
count of tea, when it had hardly
been in use for one generation.
"Our people," says the colonial his
tcrian of New York in 1855, "are
shamefully gone into tea-drinking.
Abbe Ronin attributed to tea the
ability of the Revolutionary soldiers
to endure the military punishment
of flogging.

BIGHAM FACES
FINAL FIGHT
FORL|FE
Alleged Slayer of Four Pro-
tests Innocence-Wife Says
She will Stay to End"
BY international News Service.

COLUMBIA, S. c., Jan. l.
Edmund Bigham, thrice convicted
of having slain a family of five
persons, will soon know whether
his three year fight to evade the
electric chair has been in vain.
His case is to go to the supreme
court for the fifth time.
Should the supreme court fail
to reverse the decision of the lower
court Bigham automatically will
receive the death sentence-for a
fourth time. Three times he has
heard the words Of judges con-
demning him to death, and for
nearly two years he occupied II
death cell in the State penitentiary.
Bigham was convicted of having
killed his mother, brother and
sister, and two young children
who had been adopted by his sister.
He has maintained from the first
that his brother, Smiley Bigham,
shot the four and then killed him
self. The crimes occurred almost
four years ago at Conway, S. c.
Bigham has dramatically pro
tested his innocence in court on
each of the occasions when a jury
found him guilty.
Bighams wife and daughter re-
main loyal to the condemned man.
II shall stay with him to the
end.-whatever that may be-! his
wife said after his last conviction.

veyed the false impression that the
international Ladies' Garment Work
ers' Union and it's locals were COM
mitted to the aims and methods OF
communism and were calculated to
impair the reputation, standing and
usefulness of the organization.
"The meeting was designed to be
used, and was actually used, for the
purpose of furnishing avowed enemies
of the international and its officers an
opportunity to publicly slander and
defame the organization and it's
officers.
"Since the meeting had no connec-
tion whatsoever with any legitimate
activity of local union of the inter-
national, but, on the contrary, gave
support to the enemies of the organ
ization, the payment of the expenses,
made out of the reveue Of the local,
was violation Of the constitution
Certain of the defendants are also
charged with diverting funds of their
locals to an organization that is hos
tile to the union.

STRIKING MINERS
To Receive Aid of Montreal
Labor

By international Labor News Service.
Montreal, Can. - The Montreal
Trade and Labor Council is CARRYING
on special drive to raise funds for
the striking coal miners Of Nova Sco-
tia. In appeals to all the workers Of
this district, it is suggested that if the
British Empire steel corporation sue
ceeds in its purpose of crushing the
miners organization, the signal will
have been sounded for general as
sault by employers upon the wage
rates Of Canadian workers.
Already the corporation has lost a
great sum of money, but the SUPER
financiers who control its destiny are
more concerned to show their teeth
to the workers than to protect the
interests Of their shareholders. This
corporation, conceived as a gigantic
stock-watering project, has been try
ing to crowd upon the shoulders Of
the miners the burden Of paying inter-
est on the watered share capital of
half dozen other improbable enter
prises.

PUBLIC OPINION
Ruling Power of World;
Every Person An Aid,
Says College Head

Cambridge, Mass.-The world is
ruled by public opinion in which all
men assist in shaping, said President
Lowell, of Harvard University, in
sermon to the senior class.
"Public opinion Isl therefore, of the
highest consequence to mankind" the
educator said. "But, after all, the
stuff it is made Of is only the opinions
of individuals combined into a mass.
In its formation, some men count for
more than others, but everyone
counts for something, and most men
count for more than they are aware.
We are too much inclined to think
that hasty judgments, idle words,
careless statements Of passing i'm
pressions are unimportant; and yet
these have a distinct influence on
those who hear them.
Every one truly counts to some ex-
tent, for, although many people form
no opinions Of their own, and merely
reflect their surroundings - Laodi-
clans, neither hot nor cold; spineless
drifters without self-direction-stil
they have an effect, and may both
prevent the spread of right thought
and promote mischievous course.
They are a shifting cargo in the ship
Of state, peril if the bulkhead
breaks.
'This does not mean that all men
should think alike. Men differ, must
differ and ought to differ. But that
does not affect the momentous results
Of wrong opinions, or the imperative
duty of thinking Alright. Nor is it any
excuse that other people think the
same. It is quite as bad, and often
worse, to- think wrong with the ma
jority as to be in the wrong alone.
I'VE must beware of assuming that
an idea is true because it is old, or
because it is new, but try simply to
discover whether it is true or not"

ing that power should not be consid-
cred the all-important factor.

new CALOMEL
BREAKS A COLD
OVERNIGHT

When the purest kind of English
Calomel was combined with pepsin
by a smart young chemist, the
world was given an ideal mild med
icated laxative for breaking colds.
One night is long enough for this
new, mild and non-sickening pepsin-
treated calomel, called "Pepsinated
Calomel" to break the most stub
born cold. Before breakfast time it
vanishes and leaves you feeling
fresh and fine.
"Pepsinated Calomel" does not
sicken, gripe, salivate or upset you,
but it does clean you out thorough
ly, tone up the appetite, purify the
blood, stop dull headaches, relieve
stomach and bowel disorders and
make you feel like a new person.
Never take the old drastic calomel
insist on "Pepsinated Calomel,"
for it is better. Prepared by the
Pepsinated Calomel Co., Atlanta.
