The reports OF the crops in the west and

the yield promises to be the largest ever
known. 1t is believed that this yea.' S
surplus of wheat alone will reach 3l0.-
600, 600 bushels above the demand for
home consumption. or l24, OO0, 900 bushels
more than we have ever yet exported in
one year. Most Of the countries which
usually take the surplus have fair
average crop of their own. and more than
an average crop of other food products.
and IL is argued by some of the trade jour
dals that if the wheat is not moved early
for sale it may not be taken at all, and We
would then have on hand surplus Of
go. 0O0. 900 bushels or mers,-an amount
nearly equal to our entire home consump-

both speak in very high terms of the
system of wire winding in the construc-

authorities are rapidly approaching the
conclusion that wire winding will be in
dispensable to the construction of heavy
ordnance in the future, because it will
prove to be the simplest, strongest,
cheapest and safest method Of construe-
ton. The truth is, that q steel gun Of
ten and half inches caliber could be
built by the South Boston Iron Com

and we expect to see number OF STEEL
wire guns of various caliber under way
at no distant day. There is no reason
why we cannot make in this country as

that our manufacturers will outstrip all

The question of public health has at

The question of public health has at
tracted great attention for several years,
both at home and abroad, and the ad-
vance Of sanitary science is remark
able. To the honor Of the medical pro-
tession it may be said that physicians
have been foremost in all things tending
to the prevention of disease. An idea
OF what has already been accomplished
may be obtained from statistics found in
the address of the President of American
Health Association lately in session at
indianapolis. He said the death rate in
England had been decreased ~ per
cent in urban and 8 l-2 in rural districts,
The number who survive youthful life by
reaching the age of twenty has been in
creased 1875 per cent. during the last
year, while the number of those who
pass from twenty to thirty five years has
been increased 1922 per cent. in the
same period. Two hundred years ago
IN England smallpox, when it
became prevalent, killed SO out
of every 1000, and 66.5 in Ger
many. Now the mortality from this cause
is less thar five in 200. Sanitary science
has thus saved ninety-fve deaths in ev-
cry 1000 in England, and sixty-si and
one-half in Germany, and such vista
ton as the black death in Europe would
never be known again until sanitary sci
ence became a thing unknown. The
number of deaths tv typhus had been
reduced in England more than half, and
the same is true Of many other diseases.
Indeed, it would, he said, come to the
belief of scientific and thoughtful men
thatpreventable sickness uLprevented is
a crime against society, and that unpre-
vented is a crime against God. Similar re.
suits had followed sanitary measures in
certain localities of the United States,
and statistics and comparisons could not
be SO readily made here as where they
had become systematized.

The demand for the reduction of post
age is increasing and the subject
will doubtless be considerably dis
cussed during the coming session ofcon-
gress. 1t is said that the postmaster
general is rather Of the opinion that the
government should avail itselfof this op-
portunity to reduce the rates Of postage
on newspapers, believing the demand
for this reduction to be greater than the
demand for the reduction Of letter post
age. The probability seems to be that
congress will be more willing to re-
duce letter postage than newspaper
postage. \ very decided tend
ency in the direction Of the letter
postage reduction appeared at the last
session. It is believed that the loss in
revenue which would Immediately fol-
low a reduction in letter postage would
soon be made good by the increase in
this kind of mail matter resulting from
tho reduction rate. Thu surest way for
the people to make their wishes known
and needed is to move in the matter
themselves. Petitions should be numer-
ously signed and addressed to congress,
and personal letters written to local
representatives These are often more
effective than newspaper advocacy. The
Old practice, SO common years ago, OF
petltioning congress seems to have be-
come almost obsolete It was a good
practice and should be revived. In no
other way can the popular voice be
heard in the national capitol.
