A general order of the Prussian secre-
tary of the treasury concerning the Ger
man meat prohibition law which went in
force last October has been transmitted to
the State Department by Consul General
Guenther at Frankfort. The order recites
that, contrary to the prohibition, meat
products specifically mentioned in the law
have been imported into the empire, while,
on the other hand, meat which does not
rightly come under the prohibition has
been refused admission because Of an
erroneous construction of the law. 1t also
states in regard to a good deal Of doubt
that has been expressed as to whether the
prohibition applies to the passing through
in transit" Of the meats mentioned, that
the passage OF such goods through the
country without any avoidable delay Is
permissible.

lows:
Although frosts occurred in the lake re-
gion, upper Ohio valley and northern Dor

slight damage resulted, and as a whole
the temperature conditions throughout the
country were very favorable Drought ha 6
been largely relieved in the southern states
but continues In western and southern
Texas, southern Louisiana, and portions
of Alabama and Florida, and the continued
absence of rain in the central valleys and
lake region Is proving detrimental, rain

is nearing completion in these districts, and
planting is Svell advanced in the lake re-
gion, Minnesota and the Dakotas. Con
siderable corn remains to be planted in
the middle Atlantic states where this work
has been much retarded. In Illinois and
Iowa the early planted corn is coming mn
to good stands In the southern states
the crop has been materially improved nv
recent rains.
Winter wheat is needing rain in the low
er Missouri valley, but has experienced fur
Their improvements in the upper Ohio val

as far north assthe middle Atlantic states
and southern portion of the central val

The most illogical thing in the world is to
sacrifice life itself In the fight for the luxu-
ries of life. The health department of
Chicago finds that during the week of high
stock speculation in Chicago there was an
increase Of about % per cent In the normal
number of deaths of people sixty years of
age and over. Money, of course repre-
sents only the means of carrying on the
business OF life, and when the craze for It
reaches such an intensity that it hastens
death, II becomes a positive disease In
all the severe symptoms of the disease ex-
hibited In the trust forming, stock water
lngs and stock speculations our quiet pro-
fessional world goes on with its benef1cent
work OF healing, untouched. we hope,
directly, by the furious greed of wealth that
uses up life in the illogical chase for the
means of living. 1t Is fortunate IL the gath
ering and analysis Of vital statistics has be-
come SO accurate that the figures are able
to point us to the origins of disease and
the lessened death rate. And yet there
were always in our ears the warning axio-
matte words. What shall it profit man II
he shall gain the whole world and lose his
own soul?" Disease and death are old
teachers Of morality. How slowly is the
lesson learned!

Combination of Salmon Canners,

The salmon Gamers of British Columbia
have united in an association which prac-
tically controls the whole industry In the
province. This information has been re-
ceived at the State Department from
United States Consul Dudley at Vancouver.
1t is claimed, says the consul, that such
a combination was necessary to enable the
fisheries there to compete with those in
the states of Oregon and Washington. 1T
is conceded, says the consul, that If no
greater provision is made for artificial
propagation Of salmon the supply in tho
Fraser river and on the northwestern coast
of the state of Washington will soon be
exhausted.
