INAUGURATING A SOCIAL
WAR ON THE ARMY
Opinions of fAnfi-ReVisi1nistP Papers
Upon the Court of Cessation De-
cisiOn Concerning Picuunrt.

Paris. Dec 9.-The anti-revisionist news
papers declare that the decision of the
court of cessation in the case of Col. Pic
quart marks the beginning of u social
struggle against the army, and acuse the
court of assuming the position of dictator
and disregarding the law. The revisionist
organs, on the other hand, describe the
action of the court as the most practical
step that could have been taken.
Great Indifference to the decision of the
court Of cessation is displayed at the
headquarters of the military governor of
Paris, Gen. Zurlinden. Gen. Mercier, who
was minister of war at the time that
Dreyfus was condemned. is quoted as say
ing in the course of an interview: They
wish to destroy the army, but they won't
succeed. The army will be found passion
ately devoted to the country when 1t is
needed.
LAS for the court of cessation. it is do
ing what it is its business to perform.

counsel. has made application FOR the tenn

piled with Consul Harris continues:
These may at times seem to be some

widely from established custom in the
United States Qor example, as to the
width of a piece of cloth, the length of
the bolt, the number of pieces in a bale.

of a case of machinery: but ii will al
ways be found that there is good reason
for these requirements, either in the
meagerness of the demand or the made

asald Hotel Zone of the finest hostelries

ment of some 100000 yen), its entire out
mt of electrical apparatus in competition
with several other bidders. The impor-
tation of leather, both upper and sole is
confined almost exclusively to this coun-
try, and there is no reason why our man
ufacturers should not increase their ex-
port of raw leather to Japan
Consul Lyon. of Hiogo also speaks of
the import of sole leather from the
United States. the value of such import
during the period under review having
been more than six times greater than
during the corresponding period of last
year. He adds:
"Our country does not meet with much
competition here in this article The
only competitors classified in the-customs
returns for the first six months of last
year were East India and France; they
each shipped during the time about 81 900
worth. The first six months of this year
snow France to have sent none while
East India has increased her export of
that article to $13.O 600
Each year the japanese people wear
more shoes and are having more uses for
leather OF all kinds The close attention
OF leather producers in the United States
is called TO this fact, and to the addi-
uonal one that the supply must come
from abroad, as, on account of the scar
city in this country, the Japanese can
not supply themselves"

Consul Harris, in his annual report from
Nagasaki. gives the following hints to eX-
porters TO Japan:
Whenever an article Of American man
ufacture has secured the favor of Jap
anese tradesmen there is no reason for its
not continuing to monopolize the market,
os the sentiment Of the people is strongly
tn our behalf. To hold the trade, how
ever. the standard of quality should be
maintained, and a great amount of care
and attention be paid to the appearance
ef the package and to the method of ship
ping.
There is a preference on the part OF
most foreigners and of many japanese
for glass jars for all fruits, vegetables,
etc. rather than tin cans, when the for
mer' are practicable. Whatever is put
upon the glass in the nature Of label or
advertisement should be so heavily var
nished or shellaced or prepared in some
other way as to permit of its being wash
ed without marring the beauty or clear
ness Of the label; while cans should be
provided with labels other than those Of
thin paper which do not allow the can
10 be washed and have its appearance
restored when it becomes hy-specked or
shopworn. The methods adopted by most
of the French purveyors are recommend
cd. In the matter OF packing il is very
desirable that the initial jar or tin be as
small as is practicable. For example,
butter in half-pound cans. fruits and veg
ctables in half-pound cans or pint jars:

ers) ii is believed that the AN rlcau bak-
ers are gradually supp,auting the Euro
pean, and there is no apparent reason
why our merchants shOHld not secure a
monopoly OF this business provided the
standard be fully maintained. The pres
eut size OF the tin boxes used rather
checks the sale TO the JaYaaese. and il
Is probable that tins Of hale the size
would sell much more readily. Besides
the matter Of cost there is an additional
reason for the preference for small tins.

Two Pointed Questions Answered.

What is the use of making better ar
ti,.y ...aiI Your competitor If you cannot
get a better price for 1t?
Ans.-As there is no difference in the
price the public will buy only the better
so that while our profits may be smaller
on a single sale they will be much greater
in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
your make is the best?
If both articles are brought prominently
before the public both are certain to be
tried and the public will very quickly pass
judgment on them and use only the bet
ter one

that it can always be depended upon.

DIR. HALE DOES NOT
Write Testim oniaIs, But Does Good
I'm Another Wny.

My husband. DR.. Hale, does not write
recommendations, but he always recon-
mends to his patients the use of Postum
Food Coffee, in place of common coffee.
We mix the Postum with just enough
egg (white and yolk beaten together) to
moisten it a little, then the Postum does
not boil up around the edges of the coffee
pot as 1t does when moistened with wa
ter alone, and we think it tastes richer
and seems clearer.
This does not take the place of con-
tinued boiling, for we have no way to
get the rich taste out of Postum except
by knowing that it has been allowed to
boil fifteen or twenty minutes after the
real boiling begins.
Many make a mistake by counting the
fifteen minutes from the time they put the
pot on the stove, but this will not do. I
have never had any liver trouble since
| began the use of Postum. whereas be-
fore, / was constantly troubled with q
