Foreign Born Men of Fame.

OF the 100000 Canadians engaged
in business or following professional
pursuits in the United States many
hold prominent posts. Who's Who
in America" mentions 245 Canadians.
Allowing one-eighth of those born in
Great Britain but brought up in and
therefore rightly to be credited to
Canada, the number of Canadians be-
comes PIG, or % for every 10000
Canadians in the United States. With
this may be compared the British rate
per 10000 of %, that of 81 for the
Dutch, that of IS for Swedes, and
that of o for native Americans (black
and white) or 10 for native white
Americans.

riners Tao Ruhher Trees.

Near Perak in the Malay peninsula
is a prosperous rubber factory run by
a long-headed Scotchman. In order to
obtain the sap from which the rubber
is made it is necessary to puncture
the bark of the trees. Laborers are
scarce in that district, but there are
an abundance of tigers. There were
not enough men to tap" the trees, but
the Scotch proprietor hit on a brill
liant idea. He knew that tigers are
fond of valerian, SO he gave orders
that all the trees should be rubbed
with this stuff. The tigers came up
and caressingly scratched the bark in
the most approved herringbone fash
ion, after which all that the coolies
had to do was to walk around once a
day and collect the rubber

ADJUSTMENTS TODAY.

man the Republicans might name. wise
observers say that # an election were
10 be neld tomorrow or next week
Bryan would surely be elected; that he
would defeat Roosevelt or Taft or Root
or Fairbanks or any other Republican
possibility.
Mr. Bryan is without question the
most prominent Democrat in the United
States. or, TO be literal. he would be
the most prominent Democrat i'm the
United States If he were bodily pres
emit instead Of being on his way back
home from a tour around the world.

The other northern states i'm the upper

as a presidential possibility. for there
is no ADLER man. GooEra pLical consid-
srations put Senator Bailey vuy or the

The Democrats of Missouri held 4
state convention the other day and the
Bryan sentiment was the feature Of the
gathering. There is no doubt that Mis-
souri, would have remained i'm the Dem

nominee in 1904 It is significant that

FRENCH PURE FOOD LAWS.

Nothing has been heard lately Of the
national pure food bill introduced by
Senator Hepburn Of Idaho. but it can
hardly be possible that agitation in
favor OF the measure or one Of similar
purport viii cease entirely until the de-
sired legislation is enacted. France
seems to have solved the problem in a
way that is entirely satisfactory 10 the
consumers. If not to the manufacturers.
The French laws covering the mis-
branding or adulteration Of food prod
ucts are very severe.
The American consul at Rheims tells
something about the French statutes
in recent issue Of the Daily Consular
and Trade Report. A new law has just
Deen placed on the books that. accord
ing to the consul, lis very broad in its
scope, and includes in its protecting
provisions practically every article Of
food produced in France" Misbranding
CT whatever character is prohibited IN
| der severe penalties. and no sort OF
Misrepresentation is permitted
Even districts that have become IA
nous because Of the superior quality of
certain products are protected. For ex-
ample, a. wine that is not produced in
the province Of Champagne cannot be
called champagne, and burgundy wines
must come from the province of Bur
gundy. The same principle is applied
to cheese producing districts, to those
that make soaps and silks and tap
estTy and other things. Further. the
law makes competition possible, abso-
lutte control of any industry impossible.
The consumer knows in every instance
that he gets exactly what ne pays for,
which cannot be said, unfortunately, of
the American consumer.
