That tn" kn"N bills will be enacted
precisely as offered is not likely. But
that their provisions will be carried ont
in such measure or measures as may be
eventually reported by the judiciary
Committee is practically assured. There
is some soreness on the part of the sub
committee appointed by the judiciary
Committee to draft an antitrust meas
ure because the Attorney General ignor-
ed its chairman, Mr. Littlcfcld, and sent
his bills direct to Mr.. jenkins, chair
man of the whole committee. after re-
fusing to furnish the subcommittee an
administration antitrust measure. 1t is
not believed, however. that the present
misunderstanding will prove inimical to
the cause of antitrust legislation.

Referring To the sugar production of
the islands. it is pointed out that the
largest crop ever produced amounted to
only $4,000 tons. Last year it was rs
600 tons and the most liberal estimate
for the current year does not place it in
excess of 10000 tons. TO appreciate
these figures it must be remembered that
the annual sugar consumption of the
United States last year was 2,373, 900
tons. OF this amount it was necessary
to import 100000 tons. The combined
output of Porto Rico and Hawaii was
3S2,OOO tons leaving deficit of BIS
600 tons. Even if the improbable as
sumption be made that under the opera
ton of the New Cuban treaty the United
States takes the entire Cuban product
which last year amounted to $4,000
tons, there would be still left a deficit of
443,oOO tons to be imported from else
where. an amount far in excess of any
crop the Philippines could hope to pro-
due" i'll many years, if ever.

Consumption

Salt pork is a famous old
fashioned remedy for con-
sumption. "Eat plenty of
pork" was the advice to the
consamptive SO and 100
years ago.
Salt pork is good if a man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the consumptive needs
most.
Scott'sEmulsionisthemod-
ern method of feeding fat to
the consumptivc. Pork is too
rough for sensitive stomachs.
SCOTS Emulsion is the most
refined of fats, especially
prepared for easy digestion.
Feeding him fat in this
way, which is often the only
way, is half the battle, but
SCOTS Emulsion does more
than that. There is some
thing about the combination
of cod liver oil and hypophos-
phites in Scott's Emulsion
that puts new life into the
weak parts and has a special
action on the diseased lungs.

" ion of John Berries second
wife.
She dressed finer than his first wife
dd-most second wives do-she spent more
hours at the piano, and seemed several
degrees more aristocratie than the first
Mrs Berrie.
1t was an honored custom, reaching
back to the stouter branches of the an-
ecstral tree, for the owner of the Farms
to give New Years dinner TO the coun-
tryside; and each guest was invited TO
some and turn new leaf for yearly
kIek"
OF course, it was the 'frsts," and not
the seconds" or thirds" as the ship
pers say, who enjoyed these annual feasts
and, usually, they began several weeks
before to plan what 10 wear This year
Il seemed a necessity to be little more
particular about the cut of gowns and
width OF trimmings, for the new Mrs.
Essrie was lady of means IN her own
night, and dressed elaborately.
We must make an impression, said
Mrs. Wilton, decisively, "and she must
tel that eur presence is an honor TO the

And so the ''firsts' planned TO sur
pass ell former efforts, for the sake OF
profound impression; therefore, by the

gowns were the pride OF as many ambi-
nGus feminine owners.
The mistress of Shelly Farms was af-
able and gracious to all, and the tony
-srsts' were just dying to display their
nth costumes in her honor. But for
some unaccountable reason the invitations
we're tardy.
Gould it be possible that the second wife
sas one OF those new women, who would,
1t one fell swoop, eliminate the annual
5inner? And would John Berrie stand
chat.
In sheer desperation OF suspense, Mrs.
Soldwaite was delegated TO call at the
Yarns, ostensibly to speak OF phiIaE-
thropic movement, but really to scent the
New Year festivities and overdue cards.
Mrs Berrie received her visitor very
eourteously and pleasantly, and supported
the phianthropic idea enthusiastically
even graciously accepting the presidency

But Wen the conversation drf.ci into
