FAMED SWISS WATCHES
FAIL TO HOLD THE MARKET IN
Goods Of American Make, Though Not
Superior, Are Sold at Prices That
Defy Competition

NEW YORK, Sept. "A special to the
Tribune from Washington says:
There Is a good deal in Consul Adolph l..
Crankenthals report from Berne concern
ing the Swiss and American watch trade
rivalry in Japan to encourage, American
manufacturers. His letter is dated July
10 and encloses the translation Of the Swiss
Consu. Generals report to his government.
In which an important admission is heard.
In 1895 Switzerlands export was equal to
the United States, but In 1897 the latter
gained. Mr.. Frankenthal says that the
reason was either that there was greater
push on the part Of the Americans or there
was a considerable reduction In the prices
The reason is notable either way as show
ing American ability in field In which a
few years ago the Swiss enjoyed present.
uence over other nations.
Mr. F'rankenthal admits, however, that
while the United States takes the lead in
The export Of parts of watches and other
materials, Switzerland is far ahead In the
manufacture Of good watches. The Consul
General, Ritter, notes that the two Jap
anese factories, one at Osaki, which i'm
ports movements and rough cases from
the United States, and another at Toxic,
which is superintendent by Japanese who
learned their trades in Switzerland and
proposes to import parts of watches, are
not likely to give competition. The Osaki
Watch Company has discharged its Amer
ican superintendent and workmen. He
says the japanese factories produce at q
higher cost work which lacks the finish
Of the complete American article and also
hat the United States has the lions share
Of the important watch parts. 1t furnishes
everything used by the Osaki factory,
which produces only American watches.
He says further that in 1897 the United
States export to Japan was $25,994, oom-
pared with the Swiss export Of only 1868,
As the Osaki factory can hardly use one
third of the United States export. these
figures show conclusively that the United
States furnishes more material for watches
than does Switzerland itself. This is a
great admission.
Another point he presents is that the
import Of the number Of the United States
watches is only eA per- cent OF that of
Switzerland, but the value Of the same is
1874 per cent of the value Of the Swiss i'm
port.
1t is worthy Of note that In 1898 the diff
ference between the import from the United
States and Switzerland was merely nomi-
nal: United States, $24,3s1; Switzerland.
$685. 91. When, therefore. reasons Mr.. Rit-
ter, in the year 1896 Switzerland could hold
Its own against the United States and could
not do so in 1897 1t must be concluded that
the manufacturers Of the United States sell
cheaper or are more energetic than the
Swiss competitors.

STAFF OF LIFE is IN DANGER.
Doctors and Others Now Claim That
Bread Is bad for the Health.


And now the doctors and other peo-
pie who think for us and tell us what
to do and what not to do have begun an
attack on bread, the one thing which
has always been considered impervious
to the doctors probe and the micro
scopist's instruments. In London the
war has been started and the wise ones
are coming out in the magazines and
newspapers declaring that bread, far
from being the staff of life, might al
most be considered the staff of death.
I. p. OConnor is the leader of the as
sault and he advances some novel and
interesting arguments in support of
his position that bread is highly in
furious and should be abandoned as
steady diet.
1T is a question:" says O'Connor,
(which lies at the basis of the health of
every person in the community. If the
balance of expert opinion should prove
that bread is q destructive agent to di-
gestion and health, as so many people
think, is it not time that the nation
should be told so authoritatively and
that another system of dietary should
be recommended for adoption? To per-
sist in the use of an unhealthy diet is
ethically as great an offense against
ourselves as the ABSORPTION of gin by
the sot of the west or the eating of
opium by the wastrel of the east
The contention of those who are op-
posed to the eating of such large guam
titles of bread is that since it contains
so much starchy matter it is very diff
ficult of digestion and imposes a great
and unnecessary strain on the digestive
apparatus. O'Connor declares that a
number of people have come under his
notice who have abstained from bread
for years and they have retained their
faculties unimpaired to ripe old age.
The late Sir Isaac Holden is perhaps
one of the best examples Of this theory
Indian chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1882-1902, 1898-01-13

The strongest indications nov
are that there will be no change il
the title to any of the lands of tn,
five tribes this year. 1t is very
evident that congress will attemp
no doubtful legislation; that is
legislation that can be attacked OF
constitutional grounds. Congress
will not at this time attempt tC
force transfer of the title from 6
common to an individual one
There is abundant work for the
Dawes commission for at least an.
other year in overhauling the
census rolls of the five tribes, and
finding out definitely who are bona
fide citizens, and who are entitled
to share in the allotment when all
is ready for it. The Indians them.
selves will have little or nothing
to Say in the settlement of affairs
They have stood, and still stand,
in opposition to any and all
changes that have been proposed
looking to a dissolution of tribal
government. The Indians are
hemmed in and are making a last
final stand upon the validity OF
the title. This stand of course
can only stay the onward move
ment temporarily; it is like dam
ming up the stream only to break
loose with more violence later on.
The worst feature of the whole
proceeding is that the common
Indian citizen will not be bene-
fitted by prolonging the fight, but
that his rights are being jeapordiz-
ed and his money squandered
continuously. No good can come
to the masses of Indian citizens
by ng-drawn litigation and quib-
bling over obtruse legal problems.
All the money these tribes spend
testing the constitutionality of this
and that act of congress is worse
than thrown away, and the gov
ernment should see TO it that ap-
of Indian money for
that purpose should cease. The
Indian now who devotes his time
and talents to trying to check the
movement looking to the abolition
of these Indian governments is not
a friend to his race.

GAME AS A LUXURY.

Americans Learning 1t Has Advan.
tages Over Other Kinds of Meat.
In the appreciation of game we have
been more tardy, perhaps, than in other
directions. The mechanic, day-laborer
the humblest aud poorest, in nearly al
parts of our land, have ever had at Their
command ducal feast. Our very riches
have made us NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
somewhat by the fact that in all the
frontiers, as in ''early times" In each
state game has of necessity been the CHIEF
food. 1t has never, therefore, been a
luxury. But Travelled Americans, hav-
ing come to share In the estimate put
upon wild meats by the epicures of the
world, have so melted good livers at
home that game is at premium in our
city markets; in rural districts appre-
citation grows as the supply lessons.
An important point not to be forgot
ten Is that game has the added advan-
tage of being the food for jaded appe-
tites and weakened stomachs. While
fully as nourishing, it is more easily
digested than other meats.
In the cooking of game a few essen
tial points must ever be borne in mind.
First, and chiefly, that the natural fla
vors must not be disguised by spices or
other pronounced seasonings. There
are sauces which bring out the game
flavor instead of impairing it, and such
only should be used. Let the French
man have served to him venison or
grouse in form so elaborate that only q
naturalist or chef could determine it's
character; but let us remember that
simplicity is the highest art in the cook
ing of game. Even the accompanying
vegetables should be selected with q
view to experimenting its fiavors -
never interfering with them.
The second point to remember is TO
guard against overlooking. All game,
especially the dark-heshed, is better in
flavor, and digests more easily, rare
than well done. 1t is not necessary to
carry this point to the extent affected
by gourmets, who eat their game half
raw-just well warmed through. Meth
er should birds, venison, etc, be hung
until high" which simply means the
beginning of putrefaction as unwhole-
some as any other form of decay. But
properly ripen before being cooked.
Venison in cold weather may profit
ably be hung in a dry place for three
weeks. Quail, on the other hand, be-
gin to lose its flavor "a hours after be-
