There has been a great Leal of dis
appointment because the Garfield re-
port shows that the profits of the pack
ing industry only amount to about two
per cent. on the volume of business
transacted. There is no doubt, how
ever, thai the report is correct.
The census reports compiled by the
Government in 1900, before the agita-
ton regarding the "beef trust began,
throw considerable light on this ques-
ton. 1t appears from the census that
the packing industry is conducted on q
smaller margin of gross profit than any
other Industry in America. The gross
margin OF profit of 81 flour and grist
mills in Illinois, in the census year,
was nearly seven per cent. on the vol
ume Of business. The gross margin of
htty-One wholesale Strengthening and
meat packing establishments in Illinois
was only about one-third as large. or a
little more than two per cent. on the
volume of business.
The millerS have not been accused
or being in a trust" and combina-
tions would seem impossible in a bust
ness where there are several thousand
mills In the United States competing
actively for the flour trade, but it APP
pears that the gross profits of the mill
ers are larger than the gross profits of
the packers. 1t may turn out that the
agitation regarding the packing indus
try will show the same result as the
devil found in shearing the pig: "All
sQueal and no wool"

Electrician Sore Throat.

The reason the electric fan cold" is
SO often accompanied by sore throat is,
according to a doctor whose downtown
location brings him many such cases,
that the draught made by the fan car
ries so much dust with it. "The fact
Is" says this authority, "that the air
stirred by the fan is not fresh air, un-
less the fan is backed up against an
open window. When operating in an
inside room or in similar places, where
it is most appreciated, the fan uses
the same air over and over, and this
air gathers up and keeps in motion all
the available dust. People who don't
catch cold are sometimes affected by
this dust, and show symptoms either
of sore throat Oh of nose troubles akin
to catarrh. The right way to use a fan
is to so arrange it with relation to an
open window that all the air with
which it is supplied comes from out

In line with the classic case of tha

Hadley of Yale University In his hook
On Railroad Transportation, is the case
Of the Aroostook potato

Boston & Maine Railroad before the
Senate Committee on Interstate Com.
merce. Nothing could better show how
a railroad works for the interest of
the localities which it serves.
A main dependence of the farmers Of
the AroostoOk region is the potato
crop, aggregating annually eight to
ten million bushels which find a mar
ket largely in Boston and the adjacent
thickly settled regions of New Eng
land. The competition of cheap water
transportation from Maine to all point
along the New England coast keeps
railroad freight rates on these pota-
toes always at a very low level.
Potatoes are also a considerable out
put of the truck farms of Michigan.
their normal market being obtained in
and through Detroit and Chicago and
other communities of that region.
Not many years ago favoring sun and
rains brought a tremendous Yield of
potatoes from the Michigan fields. At
normal rates and prices there would
have been a glut of the customary mar
kets and the potatoes would have rot
ted on the farms. To help the potato
growers the railroads from Michigan
made unprecedentedly low rates on
potatoes to every readable market.
even carrying them in large quantities
to a place so remote as Boston. The
AroOstook growers had to reduce the
Price on their potatoes and even then
could not dispose of them unless the
Boston & Maine Railroad reduced it's
already low rate, which it did. By
means of these low rates, making pos
sible low prices, the potato crops Of
both Michigan and Maine were finally
marketed. Everybody eats potatoes,
and that year everybody had all the
potatoes he wanted.
While the Michigan railroads made
rates that would have been ruinous to
the railroads, had they been applied to
the movement of all potatoes at all
times, to all places, they helped their
patrons to find markets for them. The
Boston & Maine Railroad suffered a de-
crease in its revenue from potatoes,
but it enabled the Aroostook farmers
to market their crop and thereby to
obtain money which they spent for
the varied supplies which the rail-
roads brought to them. If the making
of rates were subject to Governmental
adjustment such radical and prompt
action could never have been taken,
because it is we'll established that if a
rate be once reduced by a railroad
company it cannot be restored through
the red tape of Governmental proceed
ure. If the Michigan railroads and the
Boston & Maine Railroad had been
subjected to Governmental limitation
they would have felt obliged to keep
up their rates as do the railroads of
France and England and Germany I'm
der Governmental limitation and let
the potatoes rot.-Exchange.

IN COLONIES TOWN

From the home of the famous "Keyh-

ter about Postum.
81 was in very delicate health, suf-

trouble so severe that 1 could hardly
sleep. The doctor ordered me to dis
continue the use of the old kind of cot

ducing such extreme disturbance that
l could not control myself. But such
was my love for it that l could not get
my W consent to give it up for some

age of Postum Food Coffee.
81 had the new food drink carefully
prepared according to directions, and
gave it a fair trial. 1t proved to have
a rich flavor and made a healthy,
wholesome and delightful drink. To
my taste the addition of cream greatly
improves it.
MY health began to improve as soon
as the drug effect of the old coffee was
removed and the Postum Coffee had
time to make its influence felt. MY
nervous troubles were speedily relieved
and the sleep which the old coffee
drove from my pillow always came tc

in wearing a made-up tie, but undoubt-

strength of mind in a man to defend
the wearing of a made-up tie on any

to be able to tie a tie is, indeed, for

Secretary TO Lincoln.

In 1861, after being admitted to the
bar of the Supreme Court of Illinois,
he accompanied President Lincoln to
Washington as assistant secretary.
Hay was n of the greatest diplo-
mats ever developed in the United
States and a master of %statecraft
whose genius was recognized in every
chancellerie Of Europe. His work for
the open door in China, his efforts for
trade privileges in the Orient, alone
stand out as a monument to his ability.
Mr.. Hay came to the State Depart
ment in September, 1888, at the close
of the Spanish wal. He had served
with distinction as Ambassador to the
Court of st. James, having had former
diplomatic experience in Paris, Madrid
and Vienna. He negotiated a series of
important extradition treaties, making
it almost impossible for a criminal to
be safe in any civilized community.
He settled many claims of citizens
against this country and increased our
prestige. He won additional fame in
the Venezuelan tangle. His repeal of
the Clayton-Bulwer treaty was one
of his greatest achievements. His tri-
umphs in the East and his settlement
of the Alaskan boundary question are
still fresh in the public mind.
