The War of Trade.

III an ADDRESS before the Wolyer-
hampton chamber of m +ha
Earl of Rcsebery delivered some sig.
HA"e"nt utterances touching tile great
e~ohherelal warfare Icing waged
against England" He was not alarm.
co. ne said, by the constant piling nm
OF immense and costly armaments bv
europe. They rather tended toward
peace than otherwise. The war he
reared was not military. 1t was that
great war of trade which was inevi-
tably coming, and which, so far as he
could see, would be one of the greatest
and most serious with which Great
Britain ever had to cope. He said:
The chief rivals to be feared are America and
Germany. The Americans. with their vast and al
most incalculable resources, their acuteness and
enterprise and their huge population, which will
probably be 100, 600, 600 in 20 years, together with
the plan they have adopted for putting accumr.
lated wealth into great cooperative syndicates or
Trusts Tor the purpose of carrying on this great
commercial warfare, are perhaps the most formi-
dable.
This is a rather painful admission to
CONT from a leading statesman of a ma
ton which for more than one century
held commercial supremacy over the
world.
Not alone In England is American
commercial aggression feared. CONT
mental Europe has for some time been
exercised over it. A few years ago Count
Goluchowski, Austrian foreign minis
ter, called attention to the commercial
superiority of the United States and de-
clared that a European customs union
was the only means of defending the
old world against the new competition.
Later Count Won Bulow, now imperial
German chancellor, proposed a series of
European protectionist tariffs as a pre-
vention of American trade supremacy.
The latest advocate of a European eco
nomic federation to meet American
competition is NJ. Paul Leroy-Beaulieu
the eminent French publicist. With ap-
parently amicable feelings toward the
United States, he is inspired by equal
ly regretful feelings at witnessing the
gradual disappearance of European
trade and TO check our supremacy,
which he considers the leading charac-
teristic of the new century, declares
that federation In Europe Is not only
advisable, but is the only thing to save
the old world.
The war of trade. it seems, Is on In
earnest and will be fought relentlessly.
While the utterances referred to above
are highly complimentary to American
enterprise. skill and energy, they en-
body a warning to eternal vigilance
which we would do well to heed If we
are to gain and maintain the CONNER
cial supremacy which the foreign ma
lions SO much fear.

TAKE CARE OF THE FEET.
How to reserve the Usefulness of
the Pedal E~xtremities.

How to Preserve the Usefulness of
the Pedal ExtremitIes.
Following are some excellent rules
for the proper care of the feet:
The feet should be thoroughly wash
ed every morning and evening and
wiped carefully dry. especially be-
tween the toes, that hotbed of soft
corns.
The toe nails should be cut regularly,
but not too often. and never shorter
than ends of the toes.
When buying shoes, allow perfect
freedom for the toes. Have the breadth
OF the foot measured while you stand
on 1t and allow fully half an inch to
an inch more than the length of your
foot.
Have no tightness anywhere. What
slight pressure there Is should be be-
meath the instep and on its sides, which
parts are sometimes spoken of as the
waist" of the foot.
Have the sole thinnest and narrowest
at the waist" and broadcast at the
tread"
Don't be ashamed of the size Of your
foot. A well formed large foot is much
better to look at than a small distorted
one. and remember that well prop
toned parts always look smaller than
they really are.
1t Is only a mistaken standard of
beauty that represents hands and feet
as disproportionately small. The best
antique standards of beauty show the
perfect foot to be about one-sixth of
the whole height.
To obtain health and comfort for the
foot it is by no means necessary to
wear ugly boots or shoes. The boot
makers are now making footgear that
combines admirably both beauty and
comfort. while people are gradually
beginning to understand that the foot
itself Is more worth caring for than Is
Its covering.
High heels placed far under the in
step are now rarely seen in the street,
though still worn in the house. They
are extremely injurious. as they throw
the body forward in an unnatural po-
sition. which affects the spine. the
knees and the nervous system.
Chiropodists all say that if men and
women gave up wearing Ill fitting
boots and shoes the next generation
would know nothing Of deformed and
diseased feet.

The United States fish commission
has been asked to investigate the re-
port that big catfish caught in the
bayous of Louisiana are shipped north
and converted into canned salmon. A
leading fish shipper of New Orleans
affects to know nothing about that,
but declares that quantities Of cat
fish are sent east to be prepared and
sold as sturgeon. Now, If southern
catfish Is a wholesome and nutritious
food and can be substituted for stur-
geon without detection, or be canned
and passed off for salmon, why should
it not be sold for what it really is?
Is there anything in the name to make
1t unpalatable or to distract from its
nutritive properties? Give the catfish
a fair show. II 1t is good, we should
try to be honest and get rid Of preju-
dice and accept 1t for what it is and be
thankful. The same may be said of
other products ~masqueraded under
false names, notably oleomargarine and
cottonseed oil. A law compelling them
to be sold for what they are is only
Just to the producer of the genuine
articles which they are made to imi-
tate. +sfsE

OF the pension funds intrusted 70 them was

adopted requiring guardians 10 render the
commissioner annual accounts OF their re

This requirement resulted In showing that
pension money IA the hands OF guardians
was often diverted from Its proper uses,
and that pensioners and the government
alike were being dcfrauded under the lack
