It Has Rapidly Increased Within
the Past Decade.
THE ISLES Of THE PHILIPPINES
Ihetr Acquisition Greatly Strengthens
Our Commercial Position In the
Pacific What May BE Ex-
pected in the Future.

Concerning our position in the fa,
east and trade relations with China in
the future, the Monthly Review of Re.
views for December saws:
1t is plainly the opinion of the admin
lstration that we are in the PHILIPPINES
to remain permanently, and that such
burdens and disadvantages as 20 with
the establishment and exercise of au-
thority there must be counterbalanced
by whatsoever benefits we NAV be able
to derive from a general STRENGTHENING
or our commercial position in the Pa
citic. From the business standpoint,
the most important thing to make sure
OF Is the opportunity for the normal in
crease of the trade of the United States
with China. Our commerce with that
empire has increased rapidly within the
past decade, but its present dimensions
are small indeed III comparison with
what may be expected at the end of an
other ten years.
Ihe only thing to fear has been that
our chances of trade would be dinlin-
lshet by hostile tariffs erected aeaiust
rs III those Chinese provinces where the
Russians French and Germans have
been establishing spheres of influence
Hitherto onr trade has been protected
under treaties with China which en-
titles rs to the advantages Of the most
favored nation. 1t is now reported that
our government. through its ambassa-
doris has asked the European govern
ments to give rs written assurances that
their new claims and pretensions in GER
tain parts Of China will not be asserted
to the prejudice of our trade. The
United States has no wish to partici-
pate III the division Of Chinese territory.
and will be entirely satisfied if existing
commercial privileges are not disturbed.
1t is supposed that our position ia this
matter has not only the most active and
earnest support of England, but also
the cordial assent of Germany Japan's
approval is aiso evident With Eng
land, Germany, the United >tares and
Japan III agreement regarding CUES
tons IL The far east France and Russia
could not well do otherwise than accede
to reasonable proposals.

ONE NIGHT IN A HOTEL
Experiences Of Two Jolly Visitors
From the Country.
THEY MAKE NEW DISCOVERIES
One Endeavored to Light the Electric
Light With Matches And the Other
Could Not Get Out of Bed
to Light 1t For Him.
THEY MAKE NEW DISCOVERIES

The session of the district court
usually brings to the city many promi
nent men from various parts of the
county, including our sturdy farmers
who practice the rule of staying al
home and minding their own affairs.
When they do make an occasional visit
to town it is always limited to few
hours, and they generally depart for
home early in the afternoon OF the same
day.
! To be in attendance at the court,
however, makes it necessary for them
to remain longer, stop at hotel and
take on a few metropolitan airs Times
OF late have dealt kindly with them,
and being free from care and worry.
they are not averse to enjoying few
Jokes at each other expense
Thus it happened few evenings ago,
that two OF our mos prominent citizens
from the northern part of the county
had occasion to visit the county seat
about the same time, and being old-time
friends they engaged a suite of rooms
at leading hotel Of course, electric
lights have not yet been adopted in
every farm house, and although the
country IS progressing very rapidly, the
period has not quite been reached when
lightning put up in cans can be OBJ
tanned and every ranch in the country
conveniently supplied. If such were
the case all would be familiar with it
and know just how to proceed in light
ing the thing.
One Of the gentlemen mentioned is a
more frequent visitor to the city than
his neighbOr, and having seen the cleo
tricity bum before, thought it grea,
joke on his friend, who used whole
box of matches in the endeavor to light
it. But when his friend came to him,
stating his difficulties and desi.ing his
advice, he generously offered to assist
him in making light. As he attempted
to arise something unexpected occurred
His first attempt to get out of bed was
unsuccessful, rs he had forgotten that
he had securely tied one of his feet to
the bedstead with a strong cord To
his neishbor, who was growing hilarious
with laughter be was forced to explain
his predicament. Being subject 10 the
habit Of walking while asleep, he said
be made it a practice to carry a small
rope with which he fastens ole of his
legs to the bedstead when stopping al
the large hotels He cl,imed that he
finds this precaution very effective, and
is spared the embarrassment OF finding
himself ii. the room of some other guest
OF awakening from his happy dreams
1t is said that the electric light was
made to burn aft5r the rope had been
untied, and both gentlemen enjoyed d
hearty laugh. twishstanding the
fact that each exacted a pledge from
the other never to tell of their expert
ence to IA living soul, the story has
leaked ont, and our indulgent readers
are left to guess their names.

A STRINGENT FOOD LAW.
Prohibits the Use of Arsenic or Alum II,
All Articles of Diet.

/ a
All Articles of Diet.
! The law enacted by the Missouri leg
lslature, a copy Of which was recently
published il our columns, and which
prohibits the manufacture or sale of
any article intended for food or to be
used in the preparation Of food which
contains alum, arsenic, ammonia, etc
places that state in the lead in the mat
ter Of sanitary legislation.
Laws restricting the use OF alum in
bread have been in force in England,
Germany and France for many years.
In this country, in Minnesota, Wiscon-
sin, Michigan, Ohio. Kentucky and
several other states, direct legislation
in reference to the sale Of alum baking
powders has also been effected In sew
eral of these states their sale is prohib-
tied unless they are branded to show
that they contain alum, and in the Dis
trict of Columbia under the laws of
Congress, the sale of bread containing
alum has been made illegal.
Following are the names of some of
the brands of baking powder sold in
this vicinity wnich are shown by recent
analysis to contain alum. Housekeep-
ers and grocers should cut the list ont
'and keep it for reference:

or special brands ! he5a powders are
put up for the grocer, and his name
put upon the labels by manufacturers
of alum powders The manufacturers,
it is said find their efforts to market
their goods in this way gre lily aided
by the ambition Of the grocer to sell IA
powder with his own name upon the
la bel, especially as he can make an alb
normal profit upon it. Many grocers,
doubtless, do not know that the pow
ders they are thus pushing are alum
powders, the sale of which would be
misdemeanor under the law referred to.
1t is quite impossible to give the
names Of all the alum baking powders,
They are constantly appearing in all
sorts of disguises, under different names,
and at all kinds of prices, even as low
as five and ten cents pound They
can be avoided, however, by the house
keeper who will bear in mind that all
baking powders sold at twenty-five
cents or less pound are liable to con.
tain alum, as pure cream of tartar pow
ders can not be produced at anything
like this price.

What "KaIsnmlncA" Are.

"Kalsomines" are cheap temporary
preparations manufactured from
chalks, clays, whiting. etc. and are
stuck on the wall with decaying ami
NAL glue. They bear no comparison
with Alabastine. which is cement
that goes through process OF setting.
and hardens with age. Consumers. In
buying Alabastine, should see that the
goods are in packages and properly
labeled. Nothing else is Just as
good" as Alabastine. The claims OF
new limitations are absurd on their
face. They cannot offer the test OF
time for durability.
