the Pan-American railway, now act

ity of the revolution now in progress

road to be completed to San Penito,
which is the port Of Tapachula, by
July OF next year. when 1t will be

WIDESPREAD DISSATISFACTION
Foreign Merchants Are Practically
Shut Out OF Manchuria.

Pekin.- Widespread and growing
dissatisfaction is being manifested by
American and European merchants,
banks and shipping firms against the
Japanese administration in Manchuria.
The Japanese occupation under the
Portsmouth treaty continues until
next April, and in the meantime for
eign commerce is almost blocked the
Japanese merchants gaining advan.
tages which make 1t increasingly diff
ficult to compete with them. Foreign
goods enter Manchuria through Port
Newchwang, where the regular Chi
nese customs duties are levied, while
the Japanese import through Dalny
and Antung without duty.

Manhattan island, the value of which
is practically incalculable 1t is at
least $5,O0O,000,000; how much more
is conjectural.
The Borough Of Brooklyn includes
Coney island. The whole of the Bor-
ough of Richmond is an island. an
island valued by the city for tax pur-
poses at about $5OOO0,O0O. The area
OF Staten island is $4,000 acres, which
is almost three times the size of Man
haitian.

SUMMER CATARRH.
Hot Weather Seems to Have Bad Eff
feet Upon Some People.

Il is generally recognized by physi-
clans that many people suffer more
with catarrh daring the summer than
in the winter. The hot, dry weather
and the change from the hot days to
cool sights seems to have a bad effect
upon the disease.
Even after the usual methods of
treating catarrh have been unsucceSs-
full, the Shackle Drug Company guar
antee that they will refund the money
If Hyomei fails to cure the disease.
This seems SO fair and reasonable that
1t should induce all catarrh sufferers
to take the treatment.
In many instances lIyomei has cur
ed catarrh wheE the patient has suffer
ed since childhood. Quite a number of
people in Tulsa who for years have
sleep on ac observation-disclosures
sleep on account Of the diSagreeable
tickling and dropping at the back of
the throat, have obtained quick relief
from a few treatments of Hyomei and
the continued use has made a com
plete and lasting cure.
There is no stomach dosing when
one uses Hyomei. Simply breathe its
medicated air through the pocket in.
haler that comes in every outfit and
all germs will be killed and the mu.
cous membrane will be healed
The complete outfit costs SlOO, eX.
ira bottles soc. Remember that il
| Hyomei does not cure, the ShacklC
Drug company will return your mon

France, from the Standpoint
of National Economy.

good thing, the more fortunate each
individual participant generally con-
siders himself. The vitality of 4
nation, however, does not depend en-
tirely on the money that nation may
possess. The greatest wealth of q
nation always consists in HER PEOPLE.
1t is the fundamental principle of
political economy, that rational in
crease of the population should 60
hand in hand with the growth of the
resources and products Of the country.
In other words: No country can
lastingly hold her own in this world,
unless her birthrate corresponds at
least approximately with the BIRTH
rate of the neighboring countries. In
this respect, France is singularly un-
fortunate.
There was time when France was
the numerically strongest nation in
Europe. Now she takes the fifth
place, and her birthrate is still decreas-
ing out of all proportions. The Royal
Statistical Society of Great Britain
gives the number of births among
every 1000 of the Inhabitants Of the
The mirror. (Stillwater, Minn.) 1894-1925, 1906-06-28

the watchful eyes of their parents or
guardians. These young French girls
are well-behaved and modest; much
more so than their sisters of other
nationalities. This fact is well known
by all who have closely observed
French customs and French manners.
But it is only natural that in large
and gay city like Paris, many of the
girls of the lower laboring classes fall
victims to the snares set for them on
all Sides And this class of girls is
augmented by others, who have
focked to tie French capital like to a
Mecca for the frivolous and for the
light hearted. And as this class con-
sists of the kind of women who force
their way into the foreground and
delight in being conspicuous, the visitor
to Paris is very apt to Judge the
French people by those he has seen
most of.
The solution of the French birth
rate problem, that most vital part of
French national economy, therefore.
cannot be found in any of the causes
that appear on the surface. The
French government and the Academy
of Sciences are confronted by great
difficulties. For all the writer has
said in favor of the French people.
there is still possibility-by no means
very remote one-that moral vice is
at the bottom of the calamity to which
France is subjected. Better-far bet
ter were it for that country, if the low
birthrate could be traced to any other
cause; for then there would be a
chance of discovering comparatively
speedy remedy. But if it should so be,
that moral vice should have sspped for
fully two generations of the life blood
Of a. asnstien, then-shs danger would be
terrible indeed
In conclusion it may be mentioned
that, as far as statistics are obtainable
the Jewish race has multiplied more
than any other. The Jews have not
only considered it an honor, but also
their best policy, to leave large
progeny and-they have been very
successful. 1880.

common oppression, were dedicated to

Now, what is the open shop? There
