'III.IIIIIIIIIII:!IIBIIIIII’; “COFFEE HISTORY Story No. 5 Coffee houses in Con- stantinople owe their rise to the most success- ful prohibition move- ment in history. An s edict of the Sultan ab- solutely forbade the use of wine or any alcoholic beverage. The ‘‘faith- ful’’ clamored for a sub- stitute, and coffee being the most popular, the opening of publie coffee- houses was authorized in 1554. A chronicler of the time writes that ‘“the re- fusing to supply a wife with coffee was admitted in law as a valid cause of divorce!”” - JOUN HWILKINSCQ COFFEE WILKINS PERFECT \ "BUY A POUND TODAY" 800000000008000000000000000 e = == iR L s R fFEE NSNS S NS EE NN NN DS E NN EE NSNS N EEEPEEEEEEENEEEENR By the Associated Press, DETROIT, Mich., March 10.—A rep- rimand by Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, for what he termed support of the Russian soviet government by the (letroit!

In his letter to the Detroit Federa~ tion Mr. Gompers charged members with being “servants| of the soviet government” and recommended that they occupy themselves “with or- ganizing unorganized workers” in-| stead of spreading the “doctrines of | Lenin Trotsky The criticism was the outgrowth of a request by Frank X.

Three Counterfeits in Circulation, Reports Secret Service. Warnings against three varieties of counterfeit bills, one of which i an imitation of a $10 national cur. rency note on the National Bank of Commerce of Baltimore, have been issued by W. H. Moran, chief of the Treasury secret mervice. Eight or ten of the spurious notes | have been passed in Baltimore. They | i all bore check letter “F,” charter No. 4285, bank No. 60747 in the lower left ‘face of the note and Treasury ! No. T469419B on the upper right face. | The counterfeit is apparently printed from wood cut plates on a ulnxlel piece of paper, with red and blue ink lines to imitate the silk fibers. The note is very poorly executed and a glance at the portrait of McKinley should show it to be counterfeit. The two_ other spurious notes are each of $50 denomination, and are on the federal reserve banks of Chi- cago and San Francisco, respectively. Both apparently were made from etched plates, that on the Chicago bank being on a single sheet of paper, with ink lines to imitate the silk fibers, whilo the one purporting to be San Francisco paper is printed on two sheets of paper, with silk threads distributed between. Neither will deceive the careful handler of mohey. STUDENTS’ MEMORIAL.
