THREE MEALS A DAY.
Relation Between Nations Food Bills and Its Commerce shown
 by Statistics.

Statistics have been collected to show that the measure of the prosperity of country is the amount of food con sumed by it's inhabitants-in other words, that diet and commerce go hand in hand, The countries which consume the largest amount of food and drink per capita are the countries which have the largest surplus for export to other lands; the countries which are abstemi- ous or moderate in their consumption of food and drink haveYittl surplus to send away, says the New York Sun.
 The average cost of food per capita in the United States is 60 cents a day; the United States stands at the head of exporting countries with an average of $1,250,000 900 in year.
 The average consumption of food and drink in England is 50 cents per capita, and England stands second on the list Of exporting countries. Germany is the third with an export trade of more than $1,000,000,000, and 45 cents day the average per capita spent for food and drink (beer included).
 hohce lidS all eApOTL ITdde or ScuU,- 000,00O year and the average expense to each inhabitant for food and drink Is 40 cents a day. Russia, with an ex- port trade of s375,Ooo,0oO, expends 20 cents day on food and drink per capita, and Italy with s275O0O,000 of annual exports, spends IS cents day, in maco- roni, wine and other articles of diet. All of which convinces statisticians who have unearthed this notion of the relation of productiveness to diet that three meals a day for each inhabitant" is the open door to world power in com merce, manufactures and the surplus products of fertile soil.

CHINESE NEUTRALITY.
Thought In Russia That It Depends

st. Petersburg, March 22.-In gov
belief that the question as to whether
China will observe her neutrality un
der,akings will depend largely on the
result of the first heavy land fighting
A big victory by the Russian army, i
is believed, will insure the quiescenct
OF the Celestial empire but there are
grave fears as to what might happeI
in the event OF a signal Japanese sue
cess in the early stages of the LAM

For the time being the situation ap

weeks ago. The Pekin government
has reiterated its professions regard
ing neutrality to Paul Lessar, the Rus
sian minister, and has given him faii
assurances in answer to his represent
ations regarding the number of Chi
nese troops north of the Great Wall.
The natives manifest a friendlie,

know the Oriental character as NJ
other Europeans do. They understand
how deepseated is the hatred of for
eigners in China and the only prestig'

Chinese, but if the Russians shoult
sustain really disastrous defeat OF
land the Chinese might suddenly bt
aroused, whether with the connivanct
or even with the consent OF the Jap

against all foreigners.
Russia's present plans are based OF
the appreciation of the supreme i'm
portance of the first land battle, ant
no fighting on a large scale will take
place, if it possibly can be avoided
until the Russians feel morally certain
that they can deal the enemy crush
