GERMANY CLINICS TO RAGS
Endeavors to Keep Paper Making
Material from Being Shipped
to America.

German manufactures of paper are
urging the reichstag to impose an ex-
port duty on rags other than wOolen,
with the object OF preventing their ex-
portation to the United States. The
bill provides for an export duty OF 80
cents per 100 pounds, or S12 per ton,
which, says the New York Herald, will
practically prohibit the expectation.
The New York Paper Dealers asso-
citation has taken the matter up with
the view OF asking for retaliatory leg
islation by congress The enactment
OF such law would close up many
houses in New York that confine their
business entirely to the importation of
French and German rags, and 1t Is as
serted that as a result the prices OF
all kinds of paper will be advanced
1t is understood that France will take
the same action. Peretz Rosenberg, a
member CT one of the New York
houses, says:
This matter is much more serious
than many suppose in its relation to
the paper industry OF this country
The proposed duty is practically pro-
hibitive, and the matter will not end
there, for France is sure to take some
action along the same line. There has
been talk here of placing a duty on
rags for nearly two years.
In the calendar year 1905 there were
$2,389, 523 worth of rags other than
wooden imported into the United
States, about one-half coming from
Germany. There were imported from
Germany s3,7sO,554 worth of paper and
the German manufacturers think that
IL an export duty were placed on rags
more paper would be exported to this
country. before rags were imported
to any considerable extent from Ger
many paper manufacturers there could
obtain rags for almost any price they
wanted n pay; but the demand from
the United States has increased so
in the last. few years that they have
had to pay much higher prices"

tract in Mrs. j. S. Eardleys midst and

How Good Food may
Turn to Poison

IN EcAY is not digestion, you
know. even when it takes
II place in the stomach.
IL Food decayed in the body
after being eaten is as dangerous to
health as food decayedfbeiore being eaten.
Food nourishes or poisons, just accord
ing to how long it remains in the Bowels
undigested.
Cascarets are the simplest and surest
safeguard against Delayed Digestion yet
discovered.
Sold in a thin Enamel Box, half as
thick as your watch. which fits into the
vest pocket or lady's purse as if it grew
there.
In this round-edged Enamel Box are
found six small Candy Tablets.
One of these toothsome tablets works
wonders forIdigestion.
Soon as placed in the mouth It starts
the Saliva flowing, which at once gets to
work dissolving it.
The Saliva becomes blended with the
Candy Cascaret tablet, and from the
moment they start going down your
throat together they start working to-
gether.
Now, what do they work at1 Bowel
work, of course Digestion.
Most of the Digestion occurs In the
thirty feet of intestines that connect with
the Stomach.
They are lined with a set Of little
mouths, that squeeze Digestive Juices
Into the Food eaten.
The Digestive Juices thus mix with
the food, just as Saliva mixes with Cas-
caret tablets, dissolving and changing
that food into nourishment. as it passes
along the channel.

Is Disease a Crime !?

Not very long ago, q popular magazine
published an editorial article in which
the writer asserted, in substance, that all
disease should be regarded as criminal.
Certain it is, that much of the sickness
and suffering of mankind is due to the
violation of certain of Natures laws.
But to say that all sickness should he
regarded as criminal, must appeal to
every reasonable individual as radically
wrong.
It would ho harsh, unsympathetic,
cruel, yes criminal, to condemn the poor,

under the heavy load of household cares
and burdens, and suffers from weak
