HOW THE FRUIT INDUSTRY MAY
BE SAVED.

It has become altogether too apparent
that the shipment of green fruit to a dis
tant Eastern market cannot be depended
upon to return a profit to the fruit
grower in California. We make this
statement with even painful reluctance.
One of the causes obstructing the profit
to the fruit-grower is the rate of commits
sion. Seven per cent on the gross be-
comes a very large percentage of the
net return to the grower. For instance,
If it costs 70 per cent. Of the gross pro-
ceeds of the sale Of a carload Of fruit to
carry it to Chicago, or any other East
ern market, it would leave but % per
cent. to be returned to the grower. Seven
per cent. of the gross would be 2S per
cent Of the % per cent. which the
grower would receive to reimburse him
for the cost of growing. picking, box
ing, etc.
The commercial Observation-Disclosures
things considered-are not adequate to
the movement Of a commodity as perish
able as green fruit. We have heretofore
advised a different or better distribution
so that Eastern markets would not be
glutted; but our people do nots seem equal
method from that which has been pur-
sued
1t follows then that the orchards of
California will have to be grated to va
rieties of fruit suitable for drying and
canning, thus reducing the green
fruit shipment East, If not
eliminating it altogether. In this
way the orchard industry may
be preserved, but in no other way, so
far as we are able to discern. Already
many of the leading orchardists are pro-
posing to change their varieties by
grating, and we are disposed to think
the sooner this Is done the sooner the
orchards will become producers of fruit
which in the preserved and more i'm
perishable form may bear the shipment
necessary to reach it's final market. The
exueriment that is being made with
shining fruit to England has not been
and we do not believe it will become
satisfactory. It involves the shipment
of a very perishable article over a line
too long for safety. Delays which are
necessarily incident to shipment over
so long line viii deprive the undertake
ing Of steady legitimate profit.
An effort should be made to introduce
canned fruits into England instead of
fruit in its green form; that is, to sub
.titute canned fruits for the green fruits.
tits a cheaper and slower method and in
this direction we may still entertain the
hone that California may become the
orchard of the world.

HOW SHALL WE WEIGH, COUNT
AND MEASURE.

some months ago the Record Union
commented at length upon the action
nroposed in Congress providing for the
gradual introduction Of the metric
system into our methods of measuring
and weighing and of expressing liquid
and solid contents. AT that time we
expressed the belief that the introduc-
ton of the system, if the proposition
was indorsed by Congress. could not be
accomplished fully in less than a
generation, and we are still of that
opinion, while believing that it is a
method of measuring and weighing
that is best adapted to the needs of the
neonle: one that viii much simplify the
processes of international trade.
The system will come In gradually,
hut II will come in wholly for the rea-
son that the intimacy of nations is in
creasing with the improved and rapid
,,aons of travel and communication,
and the necessity is more and more ap-
,arant for a common schedule of

,lv read in all ports in the world by civ

A BAREFOOT REMEDY.

The followers of Father Kneipp in
New York are gaining in numbers and
faith, and in the hot weather that is
prevailing 1t is no wonder, for Father
Kneipps treatment for a host of physi-
cal ills is that the people shall rise early
in the morning, while the dew still
dresses the grass with sparkling liquid
levels. and loosely robed wander bare
footed in the lawns and meadows. After
that exercise for an hour. they are to
return to their homes, vigorously rub
their feet and legs, take a light break
fast and rest for two hours between
covers. For nervous troubles the rem
edy is said to work wonders.
Father Kneipp's "water-cure," So
called, has fong been known, and in Eu-
rope some years ago was a fad. 1t is
little more now. The secret of it is
simply this, that the shrewd clergyman,
who had a dewy meadow and homely
and wholesome house of rest, with a
box for contributions for the church.
induced his followers to come to his
place and with him rise early, which
necessitated early retiring of course.

this was the barefoot walk in the dewy

desire to try rash and dangerous ex-
periments. SLOW, but sure" is the

economy as resulted in betterment.
That there is any mysterious virtue
in the dew foot bath, no one has any
reason to believe. If fashionable So
ciety is reformed by the new remedy
in the matter of it's late hours, laggard
habits, and exhausting nervous strain,
then the remedy is to be approved.
There is no impropriety in men and
women straying at sunrise barefooted
through dewy meads, and we can read
lily understand that there is virtue in
an hours exercise barefooted and loose
robed, followed by self-treatment that
induces reaction; at least for those who
are physically strong enough.
But it is asking a little too much
that we believe the statement of a cele-
brated actress in New York, who de-
clares that Father Kneipp's remedy is
curing her of aggravated rheumatism.
However, the lady asserts it, and as
faith goes very far as a healer we may
accept it as true on that basis.
The fad has struck New York hard,
and the procession of barefoot women
and men at sunrise in the city parks is
now the sensation of the day there;
but it has brought forth protests from
some grumbling curmudgeons who wish
these parades to be stopped by ordi-
nance, on the ground of their impro-
priety.
In the name of sense, why should
New York or any other place consider
the exercise improper? What is there
immodest in people who wishto do
50 walking in their bare feet in the
parks? They create no disturbance of
the peace. They interfere with no one;
they shock no modest people. Their
attire is not immodest, surely, nor for
the matter of that is it likely to attract
nearly so much attention as some of the
bicycle costumery in which women not
infrequently appear upon drives and on
the wheel boulevards. We vote for
giving those who have faith in Father
Kneipp's remedy full permission to give
it rein and to go barefooted at day
break or as long as they choose.
