Our Trade With Germany.

Twenty-one articles, or group of arti-
Giles, having each a total value of ST.
100000 or over, wer imported into the
United States from Germany during
the past fiscal year, and twenty arti-
cies, having a total value Of 100000
or over each, were exported to Ger.
many during the same period. Manu-
featured articles, chiefly iron and steel,
silk manufactures, chemicals, cotton
goods, earthenware, furs and furskins,
and toys comprise the principal impor-
tations into the United States from
Germany. Of expectations to Ger.
many raw cotton contributes mora
than one-half Of the total, its share in
1904 being 500, 100000 out Of a total
export of $215, 100000. But few manu-
featured articles appear in the list of
principal expectations to Germany.

The people have allowed the slow
murder Of infants and adults, by tricky
makers Of food, drink and drugs to 30
on about long enough. Duty to oneself,
family and nation demands that every
man and oma join in an organized
movement to clear our people from this
blight. You may lot be able to go per-
sonally to Washington to impress your
Congressman, but you can, in a most
effective way tell him by letter how
yon desire him to represent you.
Remember the Congressman IS in
Congress to represent the people from
his district and II a goodly number OF
citizens express their views to him. he
secures q very sure guide to duty. Re-
member also that the safety Of the
people is assured by insisting that the
will Of the people be carried out, and
not the Vaccinations of the few for
selfish interests.
This pure food legislation Is a pure
movement of the people for public pro-
lection. 1t will be opposed only BY
those who fatten their pockets BY de-
celying and injuring the people. There

Many pure food bills have been In

legislatures; many have been offered
to Congress. but all thus far seem OBJ
~jectionable.
It has seemed difficult for politicians
to formulate a satisfactory bill that
would protect the common people and
yet avoid harm to honest makers and
prevent endless trouble to retailers. No
government commission or officer has
the right to FIX flood standards" to de-
eat, for what agrees with n may not
agree with another and such act would
deprive the common citizen of his per-
sonal liberty. The Postum Cereal Co.,

prepared foods in the world, have nat
urally a close knowledge of the needs
of the people and the details Of the

1t took Mr.. Berwind twenty years to
get at the land he wanted before he
began building, and in this particular
he is more fortunate than his fellow
cottagers, for he has succeeded in
surrounding his place with open space
to give it's lines full effect. The villa
is full half mile from the bay. It is
in the style of Louis XIV, and is built
of Indiana limestone.
The clever arrangement makes the
house look to be in the center of a
vast park, which to all appearances
stretches for miles.
The building stands on terrace,
and it's severity is relieved by the Ital-
ian garden which it fronts.
