PENFIELD'S MISSION
Is to Study Commercial Relations In
South America.


Washington, d. c., Sept. 24.-It de-
veloped today that the special conf
Dental mission of Judge Penfield, So
licitor of the state department to
South America is to make a careful
study of the commercial relations and
report to the President, making sug-
gestions as to how friendly relations
can be promoted and trade increased.
President Roosevelt has been alarmed
at the inroads made by Germany in
several South American republics,
where colonization has been in prog
ress and special inducements offered
for the purchase of German manufac-
lures. The Germans have been so sue
cessful that American exports to South
America have not grown as rapidly as
anticipated, and President Roosevelt
determined to ascertain the exact sit
uation, so remedy could be applied.
For this reason he sent Judge Penfeld
to study the entire commercial situa-
ton and report his finds, to be used as
basis for governmental action.

many and Russia are the only other
countries besides the United States
which show a total consumption Of
over 100 million pounds, according to
a statement issued today by the De-
rartment of Commerce and Labor.
Taking the statistics for the mos:
recent available year, the statement
shows that the United States had a
total consumption of 440,000,000 or

Italy's people each use LOS pounds

ed; Canadians 2.74 pounds out of the
100000 pounds; Mexico 1.39 pounds
out of 18,870,000 pounds, the greater
part Of which Is made into cigarettes
end Australians 2.59 pounds out Of a
total consumption of 10,158,O00.
The total gross revenues from the
tobacco monopoly in France is shown
to have been over $S1,000,000 in 1902,
which is tantamount to head tax of
$2.08. i
Great Britain does not produce any
tobacco but imports all she uses from
abroad, principally from this country.
The duties are very high, the average
rate per pound being five times as
high as in this country, with the re-
suit that while the per capita con-
sumption is relatively low, the total
revenue from tobacco is almost as
high as in this country.
The taxation of tobacco appears TO
be highest in Italy, France and the
United Kingdom and lowest in Bel.
gium, Mexico, Germany and the Unit
ed States in the order named. On the
whole, 1t Is true that the countries
With the highest taxation show the
lowest consumption and inverseiy,
though there is no exact correspond
ence, for the reason mainly that, while
the tax constitutes a very large por
tion Of the consumers price, high
taxes or increased taxation may result
merely in decreased consumption of
the more expensive grades of the
article and increased consumption Of
the cheaper grades.

DRUG HABITS Easily Formed But Hard to Break.

A man down in old Virginia tells of his experience which points a simple and effective way out He says:
 About 15 years ago my wife through using coffee and laudanum for relief of neuralgia, became addicted to the habits. continuing until she had about destroyed stomach, nerves and mind. This brought on periods of dementia lasting from one to two weeks, growing steadily worse until the 3rd of August last year our family phys ician called in consultation another doctor who had been resident physician at our state insane asylum.
 "They decided the only hope was to place her in a sanitarium, otherwise she would be hopelessly insane before the year was out. On investigation we found the charges for such a patient beyond our means so it was necessary to face the worst at home.
 Upon the advice of a friend she stopped the use of coffee, of which she was very fond, and began the use of Postum Food Coffee as remedy for the constipation which accompanied the attacks. The result was more than we expected. It not only relieved the constipation greatly but aided her to break the laudanum habit for when she found herself possessed of the desire to take something a cup of strong Postum would allay the desire and soothe and refresh her.
 This led to the regular use of Pos tum. and Grape-Nuts that also seemed to nOurish and strengthen the over wrought nerves, she steadily got better and better and today, instead of being in the insane asylum she is still with us in her own home, sounder in mind and body than for several years past. The attacks of dementia have steadily grown milder and less frequent until now we have every reason to believe that she will soon be fully restored sound in mind and body
 "I know this has been accomplished entirely hy the aid of Postum and Grape-NUts, for not since that con sultation over year ago has she taken q particle of medicine of any sort.
 Tn writing this my greatest desire is to bring the use of your products to the notice of some other unfortunate. trembling upon the brink of that most terrible of all calamities. insanity. and l thoroughly believe and know that leaving off coffee and other drugs and taking good food and drink is the surest means by which 1t can be avertcd I give the name of our family physician also the consulting physician, who can VOuch for tie truth of what I have written. You are at liberty to furnish name and address to anyone really in terested." Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich.
