The question Of providing separate
coaches or seperate apartments for
travellers affected with tuberculosis
has been laid before the Western
Passenger association and in turn
referred to the Pullman company
for final settlement.
Insurance companies have COM
planned that the lives Of thousands
of their members are endangered
throuhg mingling with consumptives
on coaches and through occupying
berths in Pullmans which have not
been fumigated after being occupied
by travellers affected with tuberculo-
sis. The International Association
of Railway Surgeons at its recent
meeting in Milwaukee, brought up
the same question, and called upon
the railroads to do something to
protect passengers from danger OF
infection.
It is doubtful if the Pullman COM
pany will take any action in the
matter now that the passenger asso-
citation have manifested their in
difference but certainly steps should
be taken to protect the travelling
PUBLIC. AS the average sleeping
coach now stands it is an offense tC

in each congressional district in
Cook country.
The petition is by the National
Pure Food association which has it's
headquarters in New York. But it
also is being circulated by agents Of
the United States Export association,
which has it's headquarters in the
same city, F. B. Thurber is presi-
dent of both organizations and Hyl-
ton Swan is secretary. Mr.. Thur
Der formerly was a member of the
wholesale grocery firm Of H: K. &
F. B. Thurber of New York.
The petition calls on all jobbers
and large consumers of sugar to join
in a petition to congress to do away
with the sugar tariff, because it
will save consumers of the country
$50, 100000 annually and give the
people refined sugar at a cost of 3 or
cents pound. 1t would, the Pc
tition states, result in fair compe-
tition between cane and beet sugar
interests Of which consumers would
set the benefit and in a great in.
crease in the manufacture Of pre-
serves, confectionery, etc. This
would drive out the English trade
importations in these goods and
would benefit grocers, manufacturers
and all alike. ~.+..>s !
Chicago jobbers generally agree
that the trust is thus trying to in

Only few weeks ago the sugar
trust increased its capital stock
SIS, 900, 600, with the announcement
that the additional funds were to be i
to be uesd in buying Cuban sugar
lands. If Cuban sugar is admitted
duty free, critics Of the pure food
association petition decalre, it will
put the sugar trust in a position
where it can absolutely control the
sugar market and drive the beet
sugar industry out of existence.

AS was expected, Secretary Long &
report recommends a large increase
in the strength of the navy. He
asks for twenty two vessels, includ-
ing three first class battleships and
two first class armored cruisers. He
asks also for $50 men and officers to
meet existing requirements, which
are pressing, as some of the ships
now laid up could not be promptly
manned in an emergency, and there
are fifty nine ships of all kinds in
course of construction, or under
contract.
The report makes comparison of
the naval strength of the United
States with that of other maritime
power, but this will not average
American favorab]y, as there is not
popular demand for navy that will
compare with those of the armed
powers of Europe. On the contrary
there is growing feeling that we
have gone far enough in the con-
struction Of warships, as huge fight
ing machines cost large sums of
money, and entail heavy annual ex-
penditure to keep them in commits
sion or to presearve them from de-
cay if they are in idleness. -Milwau-

A recent article in the London
Mail reveals the extent to which
American competition in the shoe
trade has seriously affected the con
dition of the English shoe operative.
Unable to check the present influx
of American SHOE. many manu-
facturers # Nottingham have been
obliged to dismiss large numbers OF
their workmen. The army of the
unemployed has thus secured more
recruits than the poor relief authorl-
titles can handle. TIE approaching
winter will be marked in Nothing
ham by great sufferings and dis
content
This is one OF the most disagreed
BILE features of international COM
Detition. The enrichment of the
one country seems to mean to often
the impoverishment of another IN
the industries particularly affected.
Such result, when on grand scale,
acts upon the successful exporter.
He cannot long continue to sell
goods to men who are not earning
the money with which to buy the
goods. Both sides must be pros
porous in order that the trade may
continue to be in the highest de-
gree profitable. Hence will arise
the international trust. Such COM
petition is 1rlinous to both competit-
I O1s.
H. But. meanwhile, the Nottingham
Operatives are out of work. Their
leisure will not be without value to
B them if they spend it in meditating
ION the unparalleled short sighted
ness with which they have resisted
the introduction of labor saving
machinery. AS individuals and by
s organizations they have held
steadily to the old fallacy that
improved machinery would mean
less work. They ought to be de-
livered, from this error OF they
will perish in it's embraces. At

Under what law of probability
can a proper explanation be made
Of an increase of 1906 names on
the United States pension rolls in
the year preceding the first OF last
July? During the year in question
1904 pensions were granted on
account of the Hispano American
war and 1900 name were dropped
from the rolls for death Or other
causes. This would make showing
of about 5000 new claimes allowed
in one year on account OF a wal
that ended more than thirty six
years ago. If there is any crying
need in the matter of detail in the
administration of the inverior de.
partment, it is that laws be sc
amended that penion sharks shall
find their occupation gone.-Minne-

1t is reported from Germany that
as trade continues to slacken and as
wages continue to fail, there is a
steady and notable decrease in the
consumption of wines and liquors.
Everybody is pairing down his ex-
penses. If previously he had in
dulged liking for rare vintages,
he now finds that he had been pa y
ing money fer the label, and that
ordinary Stubenheimer is just as
good as anything else; while, If he
had never, in his palmiest days,
bought anything more expensive
than that ordinary Stubenheimer,
he now goes one step lower, and
discover the virtue of beer and
coffee
When the German begins to re-
gain his prosperity, and Herewith
his pfennings, he will resume his old
habit. In this he is not peculiar.
The American does the same trick.
In the fiscal year 1898 our consump-
ton of beer and spirits was at high
water mark. In 1894 it dropped
suddenly to a point much below the
normal. In 1895 it dropped still
farther. In 1895 it remained at
about the same mark. In 1897 it
began to increase, and has been in
creasing ever since. A period OF de-
preston affect the beer and liquor
trade as it does everything else.
When man is economizing on
food and fuel, he naturally econo-
mize on beer. But when. the period
of depression has passed he soon
makes it clear that his abstinence
had it's source in no moral scruples.

The stock jobbers, and the sensa,
tional journals which cooperate
with the stock jobbers in order tc
depress the price Of shares and Sc.
curities in New York and London,
have come out with their biggest
lies. They now state it is not pos,
s:ble for King Edward to live more
than two years. His cancer is NO
longer in his throat, but under the
root of his tongue, which sensa'
tional journals declare is more
dangerous than the throat disease.
Inasmuch as the London Lancet,
which is the most reliable medical
publication in the world, positively
declared that there is not a scintilla
of cancer in King Edwards body
the vastness of the last lie will be
appreciated by those who read the
story today that the King cannot
live more than two years on account
of this cancerous attack.

the liars will continue their vocation
as they believe there is money in
living and that "a lie we'll stuck to

much left Of friendship for free
coinage of silver and gold at 16 to l,
or any other ratio, among the
democatts of that section. Senator

that Mr.. Aldrich is chairman of the

most important public duty is be-
fore them. Errors have crept into
the government that demand a
champion for their righting. Reck-
lessness and wastefulness are ram

The gigantic trusts, grown tat on
the special privileges long enjoyed
under the fostering tariff, have be-
come arrogant. Human rights are
not safeguarded, nor is there the
equality before the: law vouchsafed

redeem the government from the

harmonizing of their party for the

this view. The republican platform

The sweet potato is coming ia he
recognized as one Of the most i'm
portant products OF our soil. The in
terest In 1t as an article OF food for
botn man and beast is steadily in
creasing. Not many years ago north
ern people had sweet potatoes on their
tables only during the short fall sea-
son, lasting from the time when sweet
potatoes were mature enough to dig,
TO perhaps the end of November. Now,
on account of the more scientific ways
OF handling, transplanting and storing
Them they are ON our tables during a
large portion OF the winter. Canning
them has also become practice. New
ways of keeping and utilizing them are
being tried. They are being dried and
some are being ground up into sweet
potato -four.
IL Is said that the sweet potato
thriyes only In a warm climate, but
what that means depends ON the un-
Outstanding OF the word warm. 1t may
be said that the sweet potato thriyes
only where the temperature during its
time OF growth does not fall below 40
degrees. On this point government
bulletin says: "0n soils suited to the
sweet potato II may be grown wherever
the large dent varieties of maize reach
maturity, but when grown near It's
northern limit or at high attitudes II
generally lacks sweetness and flavor.
This loss OF quality must be attrib-
uted TO the cool nights. which are like
ly to prevail In high ATTITUDES. and at
considerable elevations In lower lati-
tudes during the latter part OF the
growing season, condition that does
not admit of the growing of sweet po-
tatoes In large way" Then follows
the suggestion that In high ATTITUDES
farmers may grow sweet potatoes by
starting them in pots and afterward
transplanting them into the open
ground after the danger OF frosts is
past For profitable general field cul-
tnre the sweet potato requires at least
four months of warm weather, free.
not only from frost, but also from cold
winds and from the cool nights that
prevail In summer at the north and at
high attitudes everywhere. Sweet po-
tatoes do not suffer as quickly as Irish
potatoes from dronth, but are injured
by excessive rainfall and overirriga-
ton.
In a suitable climate and with good
cultivation the sweet potato will thrive
on any weil-drained soil. Nevertheless,
IL should not be planted on heavy or
peaty soils unless intended for stock
feeding. II is not always practicable TO
harvest the crop when the ground is
dry. and such soils. unless they are
very dry, adhere TO the tubers and so
detract from their value Moreover,
the quality OF sweet potatoes grown on
these soils is always relatively low.
The best soil for the sweet potato is
light, well-drained. but not leaehy
sandy loan that will not adhere 10 the
potatoes II the best quality is desired.
soils which have an excess OF organic
matter should be avoided.
