WHY COFFEE IS HHSH.
‘ l l lousckoop'TS know they have to
pay more; grocers can only explain
that * coffee Ims gone up, like every
thing else.’ lint prices don’t ‘go up’
without some reason, and the facts in
regard to coffee throw some light on
the causes of the ‘high cost of living.’
“While the wholesaler has to pay
11 cents a pound and have it d tied
out to him, there an* 950,(XX) hags of
Brazilian coffee stored in New York
alone. Ten years ago the wholesale
price was from 'l+ to 7A cents. We
are paying twice as much now be
cause coffee is controlled hy a trust.
It is the most dillieult kind of com
bine to reach, because its roots are in
Brazil and the Branches spread over
Kumpe, as they do over America.
Brazil produces most of the world’s
coffee and grew more than could he
consumed. (Irowers induced the
State of Sao Paulo to hack them in
limiting production and putting up
the price. A monopoly was created,
875,000,000 furnished hy foreign
hankers to finance the scheme, and
control of the output and sale of Bra
zilian coffee placed in the hands of
seven men, hankers and coffee mer
chants. The Brazilian coffee State
put a prohibitive tax on all coffee
produced liver the limit fixed. Since
11 (Us, when the monopoly was estab
lished, the price ill Coffee has guile
up rapidly.
"The world consumes alsuit Is.
11(10,(Kid hags of coffee annually. 10
pr cent Being consumed in the Tint
ed States. <>f the 6,365,000 hags re
ceived at New York last year 5,155,-
000 lugs came from Brazil.
"The Tinted States (iovernmenl
lias set out to break the Toffee Trust,
which in four years has taken 820,-
000,000 toll from the American Break
fast table. While our laws cannot
n aeh the trust in Brazil, the Depart
meiit of Justice will try to compel tin*
sale in open market of the 950,000
hags now in New York and prevent
storage hy the trust in the Tinted
States to keep up prices. District
Attorney Wise has brought a suit in
equity under the Sherman Anti-Trust
law to compel open sale of the 950,-
000 hags in storage and to curtail the
operations of the trust in this coun
try. He believes this one order will
bring down the price.
The decision of our own courts will
lay down a precedent in dealing with j
international combines which, up to j
this time, have .daimed complete ex-;
eniption from the operations of the !
Sherman law.” —**>V/i
A NATIONAL EXPOSITION OF
CONSERVATION.
An exposition of national scope, j
the purpose of which is to promote ;
tin-conservation of our natural re-1
sources, is to he held in Knoxville, |
Tennessee in September and October, I

Stales. An Advisory Board of lead
ers in the various Branches of con
servation work, with (iifford I’inchot
at its head, has been formed as part
of the Kxposition Company’s organ!- \
zation, and is now at work formulat- j
ing detailed plans for the exhibits. |

PROMINENT MEN ILL.
Reports from Klkton, Md., indi- 1
eate that former (iovernor Crothers 1
is yet very ill, being delirious much 1
of the time.
Former T. S. Senator (leorge L.
Wellington, is seriously ill at his
home in Cumberland, he having lieen
stricken ill late Sunday night. JI is i
family physician was with him Mon- |
day all day and Dr. Barker of Johns!
Hopkins hospital arrived at his lied-1
side Monday night. A member of j
the Senator’s family stated that his j
throat and right arm are paralyzed. I
| DECLINE IN TUBERCULOSIS. |
j In the decade from 1901 to 1910,
the death rate from tuberculosis in
the United States declined from 19(1.9
for each 100,000 persons living to
1(10.3, a decrease of 15.7 per cent,
while the general death rate, includ
ing all causes of death, declined only
one half as fast, or at the rate of 9.7
per cent, from 1655.0 hi 1495.8.
These figures were given out in a
statement issued by the National As
sociation for the Study and Preven
tion of Tuberculosis. They are based
on data abstracted from the reports
!of the United States Bureau of the
Census, and cover the registration
ana in this country. According to
the statement, the tuberculosis death
1 rate lias declined steadily since 1904,
when it was 201.6. On the other
; hand, the general death rate shows a
! fluctuation downward in general trend
but not as steady as the tuberculosis
rate. The decline in the tulierculosis
death rate in the last ten years means
' a saving of 27,000 lives at the pres
ent time.
1 In certain cities, such as New York
I Boston, Cleveland and Chicago, and
in States like Massachusetts, Rhode
Island and Connecticut, the decline
in the death rate is much more mark -
ed than in the country at large.
| The National Association says that
there are many factors working to
gether to cause the decline in the tu
-1 hereulusis death rate, such factors as
the change in the character of our ur
, ban population, increased sanitation,
and better housing, But probably as
potent a factor as any lias 1 11 the
nation wide anti-tuberculosis emu
i paign. “It may he foretold with
| considerable certainty,” the state
-1 nient concludes, “that when the cf
-1 feels of the present rapidly increasing
I provision for tin- can* of tuberculosis
| patients shall have become evident,
I the decline in the death rate from
' consumption in the coming decade
will he even more marked than that
I in the last one.”
AUKS OF CANDIDATES.
It is interesting to know that every
jone of tin- seven candidates, even in
; eluding Roosevelt, has lieen admitted
! to tin- bar, and five of them have had
I successful careers in the law. Two
j have been judges. No one, save Mr.
Harmon, has had any considerable
experience with business affairs, eith
-1 r large or small. No one of them,
Us a rich man and though several of
i tin m, hy virtue of their high talents,
; have been able at times to earn large
j incomes, they have all been hard
! workers. Two or three of them have
■ been relatively poor men all their
, lives, living frugally and devoting
■ themselves unreservedly to public
I work.
All of the candidates, save Wilson,
have had long experience in public j
office and in dealing with public men !
1 and public questions. While most 1
i of them can he called able politicians,
no one of them lielungs to that ex- J
treme type known as a machine pol- j
itician — a Ik>ss. There is to the cred- 1
it of every one of them not a little
sound public service.
All of the seven, save possibly Har
! mou, are at the very prime of life for
national leadership, These are their
ages:
Underwood, 50 years old.
Roosevelt, 54 “ “
Taft, 55 “ “
Wilson, 56 “ “
La Follette, 57 “ “
Clark, 62 “ “
Harmon, 66 “ “
It is also of curious rather than of
; important interest that most of the
! seven were Isirn in Slab's which have 1
j long been fertile in the production of
I Presidents and Presidential candi-1
! dates. Wilson was horn in Virginia, j
i Clark and Underwood in Kentucky,!
! Taft and Harmon in Ohio, and
! Roosevelt in New York. Only one
! candidate, lai Follette, comes from |
what may he called a new Presidential
State.
A MONUMENT FOR BARBARA. I
A movement has been started in [
and hy citizens of Frederick city to j
secure, hy popular subscription, the
sum of 810,000 for the purpose of
erecting a monument to the memory
of Barbara Frietehic. Barbara died
in 1862, and was buried in the cem
etery on Bentz street. It is now the i
intention to remove her body to Mt.
Olivet cemetery and there erect the
, monument over her grave.

KU'HKSON ELECTROCUTED.
j Clarence V. T. Richeson, of Bos
ton, who was accused, arrested, tried
j and proven guilty of giving Avis Liu
uell cyanide of potassium and caus
ing her death, was electrocuted at
j at Boston Tuesday morning of this,
week. Miss Kinnell was found dead
j Oct. 14th, last; on Oct. 20th, Rich- '
j eson was arrested; January 6th he,
I confessed and on the 9th was seutenc

' and being declared sane, he finally
I paid the penalty of his crime.

Firemeii'll Convention at Waynesboro,
Pa., June 4th, sth and 6th. 1912.
The people of Waynesboro, Pa., are
making great preparations fora big time
in Waynesboro, the occasion being the
eleventh Annual Convention of The Cum
berland Valley Volunteer Firemen, which
will continue for three days, June 4th,
sth and 6th. The convention will be some
' what of an Old Home Week for Waynes
boro, and with this view neatly every
family in the town will invite their friends
from a distance to come home and share |
the festivities. The convention proper
will be held in the forenoon of Tuesday, I
the opening day, and at 2 o’clock p. m.
there will be an automobile parade with 1
j more than 150 automobiles in line, beau-
I tifully decorated not only with June roses
but the fair maidens of Waynesboro.
The parade will cover all the prominent
streets of the town. At 7 o’clock in the
evening the Wayne Band of forty-five
pieces will give a free concert in the
I public square. The Wayne Band is con
j sidered one of the best concert bands.
Wednesday morning will be devoted to
[ receiving visiting firemen, and at 1.30
j the firemen’s parade will take place,
participated in by probably the greatest
number of companies ever assembled in
the valley at one time. At 4 o’clock
Wednesday afternoon the Steam Engine
contest will take place and at seven in
the evening band contests in the public
square, open to the world.
Thursday will also be devoted to con
tests. Thursday morning at 9 o’clock
the prize drill will take place. At 10
o’clock the Hook and Ladder contest. At
one o’clock the Hose Races and at seven
in the evening another concert by the
; famous Wayne Band.
Arrangements will be made with all
the railroads for reduced rates which
will be announced later. As the hotels
; will be filled to overflowing many private
1 families will arrange to entertain firemen
during their stay at nominal rates.
Waynesboro is one of the leading man
ufacturing towns of the State and its
' close proximity to Pen-Mar Park and the
Blue Ridge Summit Resort Region will
make it an attractive point to visit for a
i few days. Any person desiring an officia 1
I program or any information relative to
the occasion should correspond with H.
I E. D. Gray, corresponding secretary.

BASEBALL NEWS.
Thurmont 13; Frederick 5.
On Saturday afternoon last a very in- 1
teresting game of ball was played on the
local diamond, a team from Frederick
being the visitors. Eddie Creeger was
slab artist fur the home club, and he
went at his opponents from the opening,
of the game, fanning Mercer, Biggs and I
Kennedy in the first inning. In the sec-1
ond two fanned and the third went out'
! at first. In the third Frederick scored
1 two runs, and in the seventh three more,
j making a total of five and all they got. |
Thurmont began to pound the ball at
the opening of the game and found Selby
easv prey throughout the game.

i Saturday last was an off day for Fred- j
erick clubs,three of them went visiting
and all three received a wolloping.
i
j If the Thurmont club would give the
l visitors the diamond immediately on their
. arrival, some fellows perhaps would not
' eat cold suppers.
The shortest game on record has been
, played by the Detroit club—one strike
i and out.
It would surprise you to know of the
( great good that is being done by Cham
berlain’s Tablets. Darius Downey, of
Newberg Junction, N. 8., writes, “My

' lets and finds them very effectual and
doing her lots of good.” If you have any
j trouble with your stomachor bowels give
I them a trial. For sale by all dealers.
