Test of Foods For Children.

A series Of experiments are being
made at Rush Medical college, in Chi
cagO, to determine the effect of differ
ent fOodstuffs upon the mental develop
ment of children. These experiments
will cover a period of several months
and are said to be the first Of the kind
ever tried under exactly the same con-
ditions. The children will be divided
into two or three groups, and food of a
certain kind will be given to each
group. Daily observations will be made
regarding the progress made by the
children in their studies.
1t is a we'll known fact that the de-
velopment Of animal life is largely a
matter Of food. A st. Bernard pup may
be made as gentle and docile as a kit
ten by combining him to a bread and
milk diet, or he may be made into a
snarlish, quarrelsome, even ferocious,
animal by feeding him raw beef.
We are now beginning to apply to hui
man beings some of the knowledge we
have used for hundreds Of years in the
development Of the lower animals In
schools and colleges much attention is
being given to the question of the prop
er diet for students, and even large in
dustrial establishments are beginning
to appreciate the relation between food
and performance to such an extent that
an effort Is being made to exercise
some direction over the food that is
daily consumed by employees. In many
Of these institutions the midday meal
is provided by the corporations.
The experiments at Rush Medical col
lege are expected to furnish data upon
which to base a proper selection Of
food for the best mental and physical
development of growing children, and
In ;,t.& they will be of interest and
value.

The Declining Death Rate.

According to bulletin just issued by
the census bureau the average death
rate in the United States was 10 per
cent lower In 1900 than in 1890, and the
average age at death rose from 311
years in 1890 to $50 years in 1900. In
other words, out Of a population Of To-
100000 there died in 1900 10000 fewer
persons in an equal population than
would have died under conditions exist
Ing In 1890. In effect four years have
been added to the life of each inhabit-
ant
This gratifying accomplishment in
longevity in the past decade has been
brought about by the advances in med
ical science and sanitation-cleaner
streets, purer water, stricter quaran-
tine, meteorological laboratories and the
more thorough and general knowledge
of the causes of specific diseases and
their remedies.
1t is significant fact that while the
NV cId6c dcdll rate OI TIE WuOIe cOun-
try has decreased only 19 per thou
sand, the average death rate of cities
Of over 5000 inhabitants has fallen "a
per thousand, which is unquestionably
due In great measure to the improve
ments made in the sanitation of cities,
to better sewers and water supply and
to the progress made in the abatement
Of dust and smoke nuisances. At this
rate the city will in time be more con-
ducive to longevity and the avoidance
Of disease, If not the general health of
the individual, than life in the country
with all it's varied charms Sanitary
science, If not changing the traditional
order Of things, is doing a great work
for cities and, as indicated by the cen
sus bureaus figures, seems to be put
ting them pretty nearly Oh a par in the
matter Of health with rural communi-
ties.

1t is by no means impossible that the
policy of the president with reference to
appointments in the southern states
will be the means, indirectly, of strength
ening the republican party nightly in
that section, says the Seattle Post-In-
telligencer. He has said that he would
appoint the best men he could find to
federal positions there; il republicans.
then they should have the preference;but
otherwise, good democrats would be
available. The distribution of patron,
age is often found to be more effective
as disintegratOr than as a construc-
tive force. At the very least, there will
be party lukewarmness among the
democrats who receive office, and
among their friends. While the course
OF the president is determined absolute
ly by his belief in what is best for the
country and his determination that the
public service shall be honestly and
efficiently administered, it is not unlike
ly that one result of it will be to raise
the republican party in those states to
position of dignity and influence such
as it has scarcely commanded there since
the war.

Theodore Roosevelt, president" is
the name that appears on a patent that
has just been granted to the TOWNSHIP
settlers OF Gibbonsville, Idaho. This
land is in Lemhi county and has been
under litigation for lumber OF years.
Four or five hundred townsite settlers
have been holding the land against the
claims of Butte, Montana, parties who
were asserting ownership under the min
eral land laws. The people of course
are greatly elated over this victory and
aside from the pecuniary interest to
them are proud to know that this
patent is one of, if not the first, to bear
the official signature of President Roose-

The Yakima Republic says: Whitman
county farmers are getting tired OF rails
ing wheat, and many of the more pro-
gressive men are trying other crops.
Wheat is enormously profitable one year
out of four or five, but other years it
does not pay well. The change to other
crops will be wise one. There is more
prosperity in the Yakima valley than in
any other agricultural section in the
west simply because the people, instead
OF making a speciality OF one crop. raise
many. Hops, hay, livestock, dairying,
potatoes and fruit of many kinds all
have their devotees here, and most farm
ers are engaged in two or more lines
The result is that there is seldom a year
when Yakima farmers do not turn off
some of their products at excellent
profits. Diversified farming pays. 1t
pays big, as is shown by bank deposits
this year of over $1,OOO,OOO in North
Yakima. This money belongs for the
most part to the farmers of the Yakima
valley

A party of ten Palouse farmers left for
the east last week and will buy livestock
by the trainload in Nebraska and Kan
sas for the purpose of assisting in re-
building the industry in the great grain
belt. 1t is probable that considerable
wheat will this season be marketed at
better figures than exporters will pay. in
the form Of pork, while another start is
to be taken towards increased diversif-
cation in consequence OF unsatisfactory
grain values. II this growth shall prove
permanent, cheap wheat will not have
been an unmitigated evil, says West
Coast Trade OF Tacoma.

Our Flour In China


1t appears by the final report of Com
missioner Rockhill that in the protocols
which we're signed by China and the rep
resentatives OF the powers he succeeded
in securing a provision permitting the
free entry of American -four into China,
says the Seattle Post-IntelIigencer.
Previous treaties limited the amount of
duties which China could charge upon
imports from the United States and
from other countries. The treaty of
1858 with the United States, for ex-
ample, contains a long list OF articles
of American production upon which
China pledged herself to impose no more
than small fixed amount OF duties and
Others which she was pledged to admit
free OF duty. By the terms of the treaty.
China could not impose duties in excess
of per cent. ad valorem on anv of the
articles not enumerated in these scbed-
ules. Other countries had treaties of
similar import.
When the question of raising the large
amount OF money demanded by the
powers az compensation for the Chinese
outrage came up, it was apparent that
it would be impossible to meet the inter
est charges and provide for the ultimate
retirement of the bonds, unless China
was free to collect larger amounts
through the custom house, the control
OF which is in the hands of Englishmen.
Finally concessions were made, permit
ting China to increase the duties to be
charged upon imports. 1t was proposed
to permit the imposition of a duty or
-four, which goes in free under the ex-
listing treaty with China. 1t was this
proposition which Commissioner Rock
hill combatted vigorously, and it now
appears successfully. While China is
permitted to reorganize her customs
tariffs, American -four will continue to
be admitted free of all duty in the Chi
nese treaty ports.
This concession obtained by Commits
siOner Rockhil is of i'm mense Importance
to the people of this state Washing
ton now furnishes more Of the -four ex
ported to China than does any other
state. The trade is slowly but surely
increasing in volume, or it was no to
the time when trade was interrupted by
the outbreak against the foreigners and
the subsequent military operations in
China. The expectation of American
flour to China liz certain ultimately to
reach enormous proportions.
Conservative in every thing else, the
Chinese have no prejudlces on the sub
jet OF diet. All that they ask is that
food may be cheap. American -four has
become a recognized article of diet in the
treaty ports and in other places to
which it can be shipped without incur
ring excessive internal revenue charges.
The demand for it will grow as the Chi
nese become more familiar with it's use
and value as an article of diet. 1t is
easily possible, within brief period, for
demand to be created in eastern Asia
which will absorb the entire wheat sur
plus OF the Pacific coast, provided the
price does not 60 too high.
