AUGUST PRESENTS REMARKABLE
RECORD IN FOREIGN COMMERCE.

Failing Off in Cotton.

Washington.-The foreign COM
merce of the United States has crossed
the $4,000. 100000 mark. In the II
months ending with August the i'm
ports were s1,254, 399,735 and the ex-
ports $1,759,417,S9 total for the II
months of s3,O13,Si7,633 These fig
ures are supplied by the bureau of
statistics of the department of COM
merce and labor, which in bulletin
says in part:
The August figures of both i'm
ports and exports exceeded those of
any preceding August in the history of
our commerce. August imports for
the first time crossed the 500, 900, 900
line. The imports have exceeded
500, 000,0 900 in practically every month
of the last year, but August is usually
light month for imports and thus
the record of more than 100000, 900
for the month of August is made for
the first time in the figures of the
month just ended, which shows i'm.
ports of $105, 5SS, 604 against 500, 000,-
900 in August of 1905, $SS,OO0,0O in
1904.
THE export figures for August are
also larger than those for any preced
ing August, amounting to $129. 454, 76C
against $11S,OOO,OOO in August, 1905
and $10S,000,000 in August, 1901.
THE growth of commerce is distrib
uted through large class of articles
Meat and dairy products exported
amounted to SIG, S.067 against $14,
212,27S in August of last year and
$11,219,51S in August, 1904. This
growth in the expectation of meat is
shown in nearly all articles except
canned beef, which shows marked

MIKE ALCOHOL FROM coRNcoBs.
Tests Made at Iowa Agricultural Col
Ieqe-Cost But Cents Gallon.

Ames, Ia.-Interesting experiments
which have been conducted at the ex-'
pertinent station of the Iowa agri-
cultural college show that alcohol can
br made cheaply out of corncobs.
One of the great problems of can
I ers has always been the disposition
Nf the cobs from the corn, which soon
necome sour and must be hauled
away. The discovery that alcohol
san be extracted from the cobs means
lhat what heretofore has been a
source of great expense now can be
converted into valuable by-product.
The tests show that there are IL
gallons of alcohol in a ton of green
cobs.
The process of distillation is simple

Just as It is quite true that new
brooms sweep Clean" so 1t is also
true that by a little care and fore.
thought these same brooms may be
kept in that desirable condition.
A broom not in use always should
be kept upside down, so that the
straws fall outward. This keeps it IN
shape. In sweeping, use first one
side and then the other. If you SWEEP
always on the same side of your
broom It will soon grow one-sided and
have to be cast aside. When, how

her amidships.
For the MONDAY dinner of the nun

At the companionway the dun slid

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

A conveyor carries the cobs to grind
to a pulp This pulp is mixed to the
proper consistency by the use of wa
ter, and the mass is then brought to
a boil After being boiled a short
time yeast is put into the pulp ard the
whole mass is allowed to ferment.
After that the usual process Of distil-
lation is followed.
The cost of manufacture is stated
to be about three cents gallon. When
the alcohol is denatured this means
that alcohol for fuel purposes can be
sold at 20 cents a gallon. and still
leave a good profit to the distillel
and handler.

Indoor pauperism is said, in the Brit
Ssh Official record, to have grown rap
Idly in England and Wales since 1900.
During the last eleven years the cost

cent. while the increase in the num-
Der of paupers has been only 30 per
