Here's some inside advice for the
good housekeeper. Buy your sugar and
co'ffeo now, In cnstini; around for
something to tax, it is a safe guess thut
congress will tax sugar and coffee and
various cooking compounds. It is the
ultimate consumer that will have to
pay the tax as the jobbers nnd commis
sion men will pass it on to the retailer
end tho retailer will of necessity pass
it on to the consumer. This hunch on
the market conditions comes from a man
who has recently been guessing about
100 per cent right on what wa going
to happen to the market. He says buy
coffee and sugar now.
