An Eastern Trade Paper on Impnre
Lard
Great Hold In England Foreign
Fruit Crops

The recent article exposing the obnoxious
methods used in the manufacture of low
grade lard has aroused probably more COM
ment than any other article of its kind
in wears: These comments have been Of
varieu character. several CONSCIENTIOUS
lard men have confidentially admitted to
us their knowledge that the exposed prac-
tees were followed and have expressed
satisfaction that the retail grocers were
put on their guard against the nefarious
products. Others less conscientious have
denied that lard was ever manufactured
by such processes, but have studiously re-
Trained from challenging us to produce the
facts from which the article was written.
Their attitude upon the subject is not to be
wondered at; all tradesmen are apt to re-
sent the exposure of trade secrets hitherto
inviolate, and to deny their accuracy when
exposed. The evidence in our possession
of these practices in lard manufacture is
so indisputable, the facts are so strong
that even those who deny the truth of the
article, were they to see them, would ad-
init that their denials are absurd. There
is no doubt that methods are used by
packers of cheap lard which will not bear
the light of publicity. and the sooner retail
grocers and the public wake up to that fact
and avoid the stuff, the better.-Philadel-
phia Grocery World.
Silver exports for the year ending June
80 were $59 S63, 900, compared with SAT. 227 900
for the preceding year. Silver imports
were $13, 136, 900, against 1852 600 for the pre-
cedfng year. Gold exports for the year
we're SIP. 300 900, compared with $66 131 900
for the preceding year. Gold imports were
$3l, $4,000. against $35, 000 for the pre-
ceding year.
Flour exports the past year were IA. 800 =
600 barrels; for the preceding year, Is. 269 600
barrels; for 1S93-94, 16,S59,000 barrels, the
highest record.
The building convention which met re-
Gently at Philadelphia represents fully
100000 members and from $500, 900 600 to
81, 600, 900 900 of assets, all paid.
1t is interesting TO note that the deliver
les in the United Kingdom of Indian tea
for the six months ending June 30 show an
increase of 5,5OOOO0 pounds compared with
the corresponding period last year, the fig
ures being 62, 231, I55 and SO, $50 pounds re-
spectively. This. coupled with the fact
that the stock has been depleted by over
$500. 900 pounds points to a strong statis-
teal position.-American Grocer.
Walnuts and almonds, unlike raisins and
prunes. are still imported largely from Eu-
rope. and therefore the foreign crop news
of these nuts will always be of interest to
our grocers. From all that we can learn,
the French crop of walnuts this year will
be large, If the promise Is sustained by the
results. Almonds in France will be an av
erage crop.-N. Y. Merchants Review.

sentative, careful class of investors in
Chicago
Unlike many hard-driven business men.
the owner of Alpine Heights" that SPLEEN
did suburb of Chicago, has not neglected
his health on account of his exacting bust
ness. The following unrequested statement
from Mr.. Watson shows how consistent
with his lifelong, careful, conscientious
and successful business habits has been
his attention to getting well. He states in
the Times-Heraid:
Upon the recommendation of a friend. I
used Paine's celery compound for head
aches, constipation, indigestion and loss of
sleep, and found 1t all it was recon-
mended TO be. I suffer no more frofir head
aches. sleep soundly at night, and am now

cine that have ever taken for these COM
plants which has benefited me at all
CIV. w. WATSON,
''2225 Dearborn street"
Busy men and women are apt to think
there is always time TO get well.
The fact that only one person In hun
dred dies of old age shows how recklessly
men and women postpone attending to their
health and allow ii to go to pieces while
they devote themselves heart and soul to
affairs that are trifing in comparison.
Wives and mothers have no greater duty
than to see that those dear to them do not
become so absorbed in the work of pro-
vfting for the household as to lose their
health and shorten their days.
No mere thoughtful step could be taken
during the spring days that are now here
than to urge such tired and often irritable
home providers to take Paine's celery COM
