if your coffee lacks kick or tastes flat, you may be right in suspectins lt has been adulterated. Examina- tion of coffee samples recently sub- mltted to the Connecticut Agricul- turai station at New Haven showed pne to be almost 30 per cent Impure.
 "ohlcory is the most common Adulterant of coffee" explains O. E, Shepard of the Stations chen1is- try department. However, the ad- dltion of chicory or any other harm- Jess vegetable material is not con. eidered illegal so long as it's pres- ence is plainly indicated on the package label. Some people pre- fer coffee that contains Q little chlcory, and even add it themselves. But most consumers want only pure coffee. A mixture of coffee and other materials should be sold for what it is."
 The housewife can readily make simple tests to detect the presence of chicory in ground coffee, MT. Shepard points out. Examination with a hand lens, or even with the naked eye, will often disclose the difference between coffee and chic- ory. Place a good pinch of the ma terial on a piece of white paper and look at the individual particles. Cof- fee grounds are usually light brown and granular. Those of chicory, being made from a root, are fibrous and darker in color.
 The "water test shows up the difference even more distinctly. Half teaspoonful of coffee is placed in glass a quarter full of water. Most of the true coffee will stay on top Tor time, but grains of chlcory or other fibrous vegetable material quickly become water-logged and sink to the bottom, often coloring the water brownish. After allowing the material to soak for ten minutes the water is drained off, and the grains spread out in a dish or on Q piece of white paper. If, on prod- ding with match stick or tweezers, granule appears hard and resist ant and jumps away, 1t most likely Is coffee. But if 1t is plastic, almost like gelatin in consistency, 1t is a foreign substance, probably chicory. Chicory is made from the root of a perennial vegetable grown in the Northeast. In fact, this European plant has become so at home in our temperate zone that 1t has natural lzed itself alopg roadsides and is

Seek Identity
of Trio Who
AbandonedpIane

WAYLAND, Mich, Aug. IL
Upstate civil aeronautics au-
thority officials sought identity
of three men who abandoned
wrecked plane near here Sun
day. The plane, a three-passen-
ger civilian ship, Monday was
guarded by state police from the
Paw Paw post.
The authority's branch office
here said wartime restrictions
prohibit leaving aircraft on pri-
vate property, but Thomas E.
Walsh, director of the state
board of aeronautics, reported
one of the men informed federal
officials of the incident. He said
a civilian plane chartered to fly
from Greenville to Fort Wayne,
Ind, had been reported missing.
Deputy Sheriff John Rosen-
berg of Allegan court y said the
plane apparently landed for re-
pair of faulty engine and in a
subsequent take-off attic m p t
struck a fence and overturned
on a field owned by Harry Hay
wood of Wayland. The trio hired
an unidentified man to guard
the plane and then disappeared,

WASHINGTON, Aug. 11-(P)
- Senator LaFollette prog

lower bracket income tax rates
proposed in the new revenue bill
were too high, and declared that
Congress and the Treasury are

Willkie, 1910 Republican

Fish, in an answering state

and lose the war if he can defeat
former interventionists and
make himself the leader of the
Republican party as an inter-

Opposing Fish, in what he
terms the role of "pawns in the
battle, are Aurustus w. Ben
