A great many people have perhaps con-

with the cholera and that the ravages of
the disease arc as likely to be as great in
cleanly cities IS unclcanlY ones. Atleast.

The New FORK Financial Chronicle has
compiled someselaborate statistics in re-
gard to the production and manufacture
of cotton IN the world in the last
eighteen years: which show that in the
last twelve years there has been an in
in uxs0
of SO Gle per cent, and during the
same time an Increase in the average an
nual manufacture of 81 $40 per cent.
This is at the cate of doubling the pro-
duction of manufactured cotton goods in
twenty years. This fact If taken as an
index of ths. increase of the other
manufacturingin Industries is very sugges-.
tive, because il SHOWS an increase of com
modities greater than the increase of
population. the doubling period Of
population In the United States is vari-
able, owing 80 the fluctuations of en-
igration, but is probably not far from
twenty-five ytars. The average period
which the population of Eu-
rope doubles is about seventy-6ve
years. The doubling period of
the Oriental cSuntries Is not ascertain
able with even approximate certainty,
but it is unqusstionably a much longer
period than "a the United States 1t
therefore appears that the population of
the world must consume more and more
cotton goods per capita each year in
order to furnish market for the manu-
featured goods. The Chronicles figures
also snow the Interesting fact that the
entire increasesof production and very
large part of fBe incease of manufacture
have been in the United States. In 1867
the total supply was 4,408, 900 bales of
400 pounds, Of which the United States
furnished 2,330, 600, and all other coun-
tries 2, 17S, 0pts. In 1928 the supply
was 10, 4OS, 900 bales, of which the
United States furnished S,O58, 900, and
all other countries 1850, 900, or only
trifle more THAI the same countries sup
piled in 1866 Consumption by manu-
facturers in the United States during the
same period has risen from 1872, 900 to
2, 1916, 900 bales, and in Great Britain
from 2, $50, O00 to $500, 900 bales.
