Buying Them Abroad Takes Money Away
and Causes IdlercSS.
A sister ship Of tho St. Paul, the City
Of Paris, was built across the sea, and
the money was distributed among the
subjects Of her majesty, and tho English
and German governments understand
all this 80 well that mono Of thcir sub
sidizcd ships can be built outside their
own shipyards. But the employment Of
home workers and the keeping Of homo
money among our own people is but
part Of the benefit. When the civil war
broke out in 1861, our merchant marine
was Of moro tonnage than that Of any
other country. The ships had all been
built in the United States.
The result was that the northern sea-
ports were filled with expert artisans,
we bad ample shipyards and docks, the
first Monitor was built in go days, and
when tho war closed wo had the most
powerful war navy in the world. Buying
foreign ships not only drains q country
Of money, but leaves uncultivated the
eyes and bands Of people. OF course
all this is but an old argument. but ic

DIET OF THE POOR
Interesting Report Of the Agri-
cultural Department.
NOVEL CONCLUSIONS REACHED
Bad Food and Unattractive Home Tables
Responsible For Much Of tho
Intempsrance.
NOVEL CONCLUSIONS REACHED

WASHINGTON, Feb. lathe result of
Investigations into the food habits of a
number OF families in the congested
districts of New York city In 1896 and
1886 have been made public BY the ag.
ricultural department in a report Gu
titled, Dietary Studies in New York
City," The general plan OF the in.
auiry consisted in visiting a number of
typical families in the worst congested
portions of the city and observing the
kinds and amounts Of food which they
bought and the prices which they paid.
In many OF the families there was no
attempt made to spread an attractive
table. One Of the most common Obser.
vations among those who are familiar
with the habits of the poorer classes of
wage workers, the report continues, is
to the effect that not inconsiderable
amount of the prevalence Of intemper.
ance can be traced to poor food and un-
attractive home tables Throughout
all these dietaries there was SHOWN
very little comprehension of the actual
Nutritive Value of the Food
purchased, the selection apparently be-
ing made according to some whlm or
taste, the presence of the certain food
materials in the market, or because
the housekeeper had become accus.
toned to purchasing certain kinds of
food. The larger number Of families
spent more than they really could at.
lord for food, and yet frequently re-
celved insufficient nourishment. 1t is
suggested that one of the best and sur.
est ways to improve the condition of the
poor is to give them practical instruc-
lions and object lessons in the prepare.
ton of attractive, yet simple and cheap
foods. The subjects upon which the
women should be instructed include les.
sons upon the most nutritious food ma.
terials and those best adapted in point
OF cost and ease of preparation to the
needs and circumstances of the family,
and instruction such as shall enable the
housekeeper to prepare simple, whole.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14-The 30Q.word

Woodford was translated st the state
department during the day, but no ill.,
timation of its import could be secured
from official sources. Assistant Secre'
tary Of State Day, who has been ell

was no new development in the case
which could properly be made public
at this time. In one instance he sup

Representatives of Textile I'm
Ions Favor a General Walk
out in New England.
n Local Bodies Endorse the
Move All Cotton Mills Will
Be Forced to Close.
Meeting Held at the Sugges'
ton of President GOmpers
OF the Federation.

BOSTON, Feb. l4.-At meeting in
this city Of So repres entatives of tex
tile unions in New England, it was
unanimously voted to recommend that
all unions call out the operatives III
every cotton mill in New England.
The meeting was practically the out
come Of the recommendation which
President Gompers made to the FEEDER.
alton of Labor last Sunday in which he
urged the different unions to unite on
some settled policy regarding the mill
situation in New England. At that
meeting committee of three was up
pointed to take charge of the matter
and after q conference this committee
recommended that q gen eral meeting
be held to take definite action. AS
result the representatives of the various
national textile associations assembled
in the Wells Memorial hall and for four
hours discussed the situation from
every standpoint. At length the mat
ter was put to a vote, no one being
registered against the motion that the
different unions
Should Order . General strike
in every cotton mill in New England
until satisfactory adjustment of wages
could be arranged. 1t now remains
for the various national unions to take
action upon the recommendation, but
what this action will be is matter OF
mcclure. If all should acquiesce and
vote to strike, 147, 900 operatives would
undoubtedly cease work, aud the mail
ufaoture of Cotton goods throughout
New England would be at q standstill.
If, on the other hand, only few
unions should vote to strike, the re.
fusal of the others would keep large
portion Of the mills in operation.
Inasmuch. however. as the meeting
was the outcome of President Gomrers'
suggestions, and as he admcnished the
members of the Federation Of Labor to
join hands and assist the New Bedford
strikers, it seems probable that nearly
every union will carry out the recon-
mendations, and that one Of the great
est strikes ever seen in this country is
impending.
