Speaking of Flavor
'Flavor cannot be boiled or even
percolated into coffee. It must be in
the coffee bean. The method of pre
paring coffee can only help to re
tain that flavor, but it cannot manu
: facture flavor. That is why people
who are really connoisseurs of coffee
insist on getting the coffee offered
I by the Grand Union Tea Co., 208
North Second street, for their coffee,
1 grown on plantations which they
] control, gets the sun growth that
gives rich tropical flavor, and when
! this coffee ic fresh roasted as it <s
1 every day at the Grand Union Store,
it comes to your table with a flavor
; different and better, than any you
I have ever tasted before.

Washington. May 29.—A bill
by Senator Poin.lextcr, of Wash
ington. to punish malicious stor
ing of foodstuffs and other ne
cessaries under penalties of from
six months to three years' im
prisonment was favorably re
ported to-day by the Senate Ju
diciary Committee. It would
pcnali/c persons who "store,
acquire, hold, destroy or make
away with" foot I, fuel or other
necessaries for the purpose of
limiting the supply or enhancing
market prices. The committee's
report saiil the bill is drawn to
moot case- where existing law is
of doubtful applications.
"It is a matter of common
knowledge," said the report,
"tlint speculators and dealers
throughout the country are tak
ing advantage of the present
economic situation to extort un
reasonable profits from consum
ers. These offenses are particu
larly heinous In times of war.
Speculation and profiting by the
neoessiUes and hunger of the
people in such a time cannot be
too severely punished."
The 1)111 is distinct and separ
ate from other pending food leg
islation.
