in glass jars. They come higher in

Washington, Aug. 20--The Colon.
bian minister, DR.. Silva, had con-
ferance with Secretary Hay. II was
the firstpersonal exchange between the
secretary and the representative OF
Colombia since the present distur-
bance started DIR. Silva gave Mr..
Hay information to the effect that
traffic on the isthmus was entirely
nnobstructed, and assured Kim OF the
ability of Colombia to keep traffic
open.
The ministers communication to
Secretary Hay did not take any for
NAL or written shape, but was an IN
formal discussion Of the situation bas-
edon the minister's latest advices. He
informed the secretary that cable
dispatch from Bogota, sent last
Thursday, stated that traffic across the
ish.mus was entirely unobstructed as
a result of the efforts Of the Colom-
bian authorities. lie also expressed
the fullest confidence that Colombia
was able TO maintain free traffic
across the isthmus.
So far as the United States govern
ment rs concerned. there never has
been any purpose to exert any mill
tary force in keeping open isthmian
traffic unless 1t was perfectly plain
that Colombia was unable 10 do SO.
This view WIS doubtless made known

the exchange is known only IN the

make clear certain features OF the

Woman Census Taker

1t was through the death OF her hus-
band that Mrs. Daniel A. Button of Pom
tiac, Mich, became the first woman cen
sus enumerator a number of years ago
She had been in the habit of arranging
and copying the work Of her husband
who was one Of the deputies appointed
for census purposes. When left alone
Mrs. Button applied for her husbands
position, in due time receiving the ap-
pointment.
1t was decided by the government after
receiving her reports that the manufac-
turing statistics should be compiled for
the first time in the history of the CEN
sus, and this work was placed in her
hands. Mrs. Button found it a difficult
task. as she had to visit personally every

trict and ascertain the amount and cost
Of material used. the value of the article
purchased, the expense of production and
the gain or loss per year. Upon sending

pleased even the most temperate eater
This art seems to have been lost along

The reason many express dislike to
the flavor Of herbs in foods is because
they have been the victim of bad and
careless cooking. Herbs are not only OBJ
jectionable to the taste, but dangerous
