An Interesting Letter From an
Alma Man Who is Travelling
in the South.

CHATTANOOGA, TENN, Jan. 12. 1908.
Editor ALMA RECORD -
We arrived here at $50 p. m. on the
Sth and took up our quarters at 1.-The
Southern" hotel. Chattanooga is a
beautiful city of about 60, 600 inhabitants
and Is noted for some of the finest pub.
lie buildings and business blocks in the
south. A new postoffice is just being
completed at cost of $150,000. The
curt house, city hall and elegant
churches, broad streets, nicely paved all
help to make the people comfortable
and happy
j. p. Whitman, Of Ithaca, Mich, is
here with US and will stay until the 10Th
when he will go to his place of dssti.
nation, about $50 miles northwest in the
mountains.
Chattanooga has many legends con.
nected with its history, and we shall
visit the numerous points that will in
terest US. The battle grounds of Chick
amauga, Look Out Mountain, Mission
Ridge-these are as vivid in my recol.
lections as though it had all happened
recently. Many of the "reminiscences of
the civil war are yet TO be seen. The
government has acted wisely, in my
Judgment, in purchasing and beautify.
ing these important places. They are so
permanently.ftted up that they will
stand as monuments for time immemor-
ial. say to you, dear editor, the outlay
OF money by. the government, in building
roads out Of crushed stone, arranging
the parks, leveling and beautifying
these places, has been enormous, but
they are so lastingly constructed that
they will be visited and cherished in the
memory of our people for untold gen.
erations yet TO come. The national Gem
etery occupies one entire section oi
ground, and all of the Union boys who
are buried there, as well as the confed
crate soldiers, have their resting place:
designated by beautiful white marble
stone, with the respective name of each,
with the rank, regiment and state to
which they belonged, chiseled upon IT,

cannot look upon these things withou,

with 10, 900 Union boys, all killed in
three battles, lying together, sleeping
their everlasting sleep. remember
those battles as though it only re-
Gently happened, and cannot think OF
that war without passing thought OF

FAMINE IN COD-LIVER OIL.
Price Has Advanced 500 Per Cent. in
the Last Year and Little
Is to Be Had.

Cod-liver oil is 500 per cent. higher
than a year ago. Norwegian oil is now
quoted at $135 a barrel. Last years
price was $3.50, Even at this prevail
ing price it is almost impossible to
get the pure oil, which is practically
shut out of the market.
AS a consequence, the manufacture
ers of the emulsions and other prod
ucts into which cod-liVer oil enters
have been compelled to advance their
wholesale prices on an average of
33 1-3 per cent.
The unprecedented advance in the
price of the oil is due to natural
causes, and to the fact that New
York speculators have cornered the
extremely limited supply. In compari-
son with 10000 barrels of oil produced
in Norway in 1902, this year the Total
output will not exceed 1,200 barrels.
Of this amount not over 60 per cent
is shipped to this country.
Intense suffering and many deaths
will be the probable result of the
shortage of the oil, as in many pull
monary troubles physicians say there
is no substitute for it.

PAsTEUR SYSTEM ATTACKED.
Italian Papers Declare Deaths from
HydrophObia Have Multiplied
Since 1t Has Been Adopted.

There have been four deaths at Noyara,
in Piedmont, Italy, recently as the re-
suits of bites of a mad dog. This has
aroused keen discussion as to the merits
of the Pasteur system. 1t is stated that
of the ten people who were bitten by this
dog four were treated by the Pasteur sys-
tenn died. The papers demand an in
quiry into the cases which were handled
at the Pasteur institutions in Italy.
Dr. Ruata, professor of hygiene at the
Perugia university, printed violent ar
ticle attacking the Pasteur system. He
declares that deaths from hydrophobia
were rarer before its adoption. The
yearly average between 1875 and 1884
in France was 60, and in Italy 65.
Since its adoption Italy's average has
risen to 85. About 5000 patients are be-
ing treated every year.

BIG INCREASE IN POPULATION.
Statistics Taken from Census of 1900
Show a Twenty Per Cent. Growth
in United States.

A percentage of increase of population
in the United States greater than that
in any other country except Argentina
is shown in bulletin on the census OF
1900 issued recently. The increase in the
population of continental United States
that is, the United States exclusive OF
= Alaska and the insular accessions-was
13,046,S61, or 20.7 per cent. The pres
ept rate of growth in continental United
States is estimated at double the aver
age rate of Europe. 1t is nearly double
that of Canada, and exceeds by one-s1Xth
that of Mexico, and by one-tenth that of
Australia.
The region west of the Mississippi
river is still increasing faster than east
of it, but the difference between the rates
of growth in the two regions 1880 and
1900 was little more than one-fifth OF
what it was from 1880 to 1890. The region
east of the Mississippi increased more
rapidly from 1890 to 1900 than from 1880
to 1890, while that west of the Mississippi
increased in the latter decade not much
more than half as fast as in the earlier.
The conclusion is drawn that the in
creased growth of the east and the de-
creased growth Of the west may both
be connected with probable decline in
the current of westward migration. Ex-7
tensively but sparsely settled areas in
the western parts of Kansas, Nebraska
and South Dakota show a decline of pop
ulation in the last ten years, fact which
it is said may be connected with the in
crease of population in many agricul-
turaI counties of Iowa, Illinois and ad-
joining states, 1890 to 1900 after losing
population during the preceding ten
years.

Nothing New.

APPETITE MAKES CHARACTER
So Says a London Newspaper Which
Gives Statistics to Prove the
Contention.

A London newspaper publishes sta
tistics with a view to showing that
peoples with large appetites become
the chief nations of the world, and
the nature of the food eaten has a
striking relation to the national char
acter.
Thus, comparing the daily expendi-
ture per head with the exports of a
country, it is found that people who
eat most work most, as this table
shows. The figures in the first col
