BUSINESS OUTLOOK.

The situation in iron and steel has

offerings of steel and iron in foreign
markets have been made at very low
figures in an attempt to uphold prices
on this side 1t is also stated that in
quiries have been made for foreign
Bessemer iron solely with the view of
checking an upward tendency on this
side Perhaps this is so, but unless
concessions are made by foreign sell
lers, and large concessions at that, the
importation will be very light.
In a general way, and along many
lines, trade is fully UP to expectations
The warm spell, which was general,
covering as it did a large part of the
buying of spring and summer goods.
Jobbers in some large centers are en-
ioying fair amount of orders as a
supplement to orders placed earlier in
the season. Manufacturing is fairly
active and the railroads are handling
a large traffic. Conditions cover fair
degree of activity III almost every
branch of trade and manufacturing.

cheaper abroad than here the pay
ment will be made by a transfer of
credits, 1t may be that in time some
gold will have to be shipped, unless
shipments of American produce in the
near future are heavy enough to en-
large materially the balances standing
to the credit of American banks and
bankers. In any event the fact is es-
tablished that cheap money will not be
in evidence during the spring and
summer months.

POISONING THE BABIES.

When the executive committee OF the
National Association of Dairy ana
Food Commissioners met last satuf-
nav in Chicago, j. N. Hurry, secretary
of the Indiana state health board
/ made the statement that 100000 chill
dren were murdered last year by food
I adulterators" The dyes and chemicals
in the ordinary table supplies and in
CANT foods were, Secretary Hurry
averred, responsible for this wholesale
poisoning.
Men with a mission are prone to
make startling statements when are
not always supported by known facts.
The reformer is usually an enthusiast
and his enthusiasm generally crops out
more or less in his figures. Perhaps
Mr.. Hurty's poison percentage which
roughly estimates at least 10 per cent
of all the children born annually is too
great. but the committee considered
statistics showing numerous deaths by
adulterated foods and were furnished
with other statistics showing an enor-
NOUS increase in the infant death rate.
Putting the two together there is GER
tainay some ground for Mr.. Hurty's
alarming statement that the babies are
being poisoned by the half million. At
any rate too many are being killed thru
the rapacity Of food manufacturers
It is a great work that the associa-
ton and the agricultural departments
are carrying on against adulterated
foods but it is all worthless without
stringent legislation to follow the in
vestigation. We need pure food laws
to protect ourselves and our babies.

MODERN ENGINEERING ENTERPRISES.

Some interesting figures on the cost
Of modern engineering enterprises are
furnished the current number of the
Forum by Henry Harrison Supplee.
He calls attention to the fact that the
things which are considered of the
greatest magnitude and Importance
are by no means those of the largest
cost and difficulty. Thus, the Simplon
tunnel, important as it is in connec-
ton with the opening of new routes
from Italy to the North Sea, is esti-
mated to cost about $15000,000, or less
than one-third of the cost of the New
York rapid transit subway. The
maximum estimated cost of the PAN
ANA canal, to sea level, is s230,5000 900,
while the estimates for the new sub
ways in New York City alone, not in
Guiding that already completed,
amount to $250,000.000.

of the year only. The construction OF
the water works was public use and
paid for by taxation. A higher rate
was charged for the water in the out

instituted to restrain the collection OF

A Story Without q Moral.

NEWARK N0WS.J
There was {, man in our town by name
Fernando Goodnis,
Who never let himself descend to any
sin or rudeness;
But people talked, as people will
wherever in creation
An honest man sets out to build .
shining reputation.
He fell upon the ice one day before a
cocktail store;
BY night the whisper went around,
and grew into a roar,
That gay Fernando Goodnis SO very
low had sunk
AS to show himself upon the street
exceeding glorious drunk.
He found a purse, containing keys
and cards and chewing gum;
He advertised the fact abroad and
babe the owner come
To get the same. The whole town
smiled and thought it very funny
And asked, with gleeful winnings,
what he'd done with all the
money!
siren fair pursued him once to sell
him certain books;
She stopped him boldly on the street
and o, the peoples looks!
For days, alas! his happy home was
filled with tears and strife
A neighborhood committee had called
to tell his wife.
Weary al last Fernando grew; he
turned a new leaf DER,
He drank and smoked and played the
board and robbed the poor and
swore,
Becoming rich thru crookedness he
dared the public's ban,
"And everybody said he was fine old
gentleman"

and Liquozone-like an excess Of oxy-
gen-is deadly to vegetal matter.
Liquozone goes into the stomach,
into the bowels and into the blood,
to go wherever the blood goes. No
germ can escape it and none can re-
sist it. The results are inevitable, for
a germ disease must end when the
germs are killed. Then Liquozone,
acting as a wonderful tonic, quickly
restores a condition of perfect health.
Diseases which have resisted medi-
cine for years yield at once to Lquo-
zone, and it cures diseases which medi-
cine never cures. Half the people you
meet-wherever you are-can tell you
of cures that were made by it.

THE CREAMERY FAKE
Tlya1Sa,,1lIa DpnOcrat

Somebody is trying to work the
worn out creamery fake on Memphis.
Mo. Creameries are rank failures IN
southern Iowa and they will be ~
northern Missouri where the condi-
lions are similar. Six creameries
have been built in Van Buren, county
at a cost of not less than $4,000, and
all of them were tota failures and the
unfortunate stockholders lost all or
nearly all they put into them. Not one
of the concerns is in operation now.
The plan of the creamery operators is
to get a community to subscribe, say
$4,000 to start in the business telling
wonderful tales of tie exceeding prof
itableness of the industry. When the
$4,000 has been subscribed the cream
