Figures furnished by the Bureau OF
Statistics show that the exports from
the United States to Cuba in the calen-
dar year 1906 were larger than in any
other year. Imports fell $lO,OOO,OoO
below those OF 1905, due to a reduction
in prices of sugar, OF which the quantl-
ty imported in 1906 was greater than
in any previous year. The total value
Of exports to Cuba in 1906 was S46,-
491 ,944, against 81, 1872 in 1905.
Under the reciprocity authorized by
the act OF 1890 American exports to
Cuba first began to mount above go
100000 a year, though they did not
reach those figures till 1892. In De-
cember OF 1903 the existing reciprocity
agreement went into operation, and in
1904 the total exports were over
$50, 100000; in 1905, SD, 100000, and in
1906, over $46,oOo,ooO. On the import
side the values reached 500, 1857 1856 in
1905, and dropped to $50, ,295 in
1906.
The importation of sugar from Cuba
to the United States for the first eleven
months of 1906 amounted to $56, 344,
473; of leaf tobacco, $14,o9S, 1o5;
cigars and cigarettes, $3,93S,OS9; iron
ore, $2,145, 2s4; bananas, $1,2o2 ,979,
and molasses, 1925, 2S9. The articles
sent to Cuba consist Of iron and steel
manufactures, wheat -four, lumber,
coal, etc. Cuba's official figures show
that the United States took S6.5 per
cent of the islands exports and
furnished As 1-3 per cent Of it's imports.

Actinidias.

Editor Florida Agriculturist:
In the issue Of this paper for March

of Actinidia called Yang Taio is be-
ing tried in South Florida for its
edible fruit and where it is hoped
it will prove to be hardy If as |
imagine from the description of its
fruit and it's deciduous habit it is
the A. arguta it will be hardy as it
stands my winter here in New York.
Last spring | set a mailing plant
which climbed to the top Of stake
four feet high, and the vine is much
longer than that. Our greatest cold
last winter was ten degrees below
zero but the vine seems alive to the
tip 1t is said to reach the tops of
the tallest trees in Japan. A man
who writes that he lived in Japan
twelve years says that he used its
gooseberry-like fruit all that time and
now in Massachusett he is growing
it. There are other Actinidias, one,

not choose OF their own free will
Nothing was set before them except
what was ordered by them.
Meats were available three times a
day, but it was found that by thorough
mastication the men gradually lost
their desire for meat and substituted
cereals, fruits and nuts, so that at the
end Of the first half Of the experiment
their daily consumption OF meat was
little more than half of it's original
amount.
Professor Fisher says that the prac-
tical conclusion from these expert
ments is that it is in the power Of a
healthy Individual to double his en-
durance in five months by thorough
masticatlon, prolonging the enjoyment
of food and acquire a more sensitive
choice OF amounts and kinds to meet
the varying daily needs OF the body.

Ginseng.

Vice Consul Rea Hanna, of Annoy,
furnishes the following facts about the
market for ginseng in China:
American ginseng in China is hand
led entirely by Chinese firms, hence it
is rather difficult for the producer to
establish direct connections. All bust
ness is conducted through middle
man, who appropriates large share
of the profits. Another difficulty is
the Chinese method of grading the
roots. Ginseng that is shipped from
America as first quality, on arrival may
vary through several grades, according
to the standard set by the middleman,
who sorts, ties, and prepares it for the
market. Large roots running 10
pieces to the caddy Il 1-3 pounds) and
of firm consistency are considered the
best and bring $40 to $40 Mexican
($2o to $22.5o gold) per caddy. 9th
er qualities running more pieces to the
caddy bring varying prces down to
$50 Mexican ($12.5o gold) per caddy.
Many persons ask why cultivated
ginseng is considered OF poorer quail
ty than the wild. The Chinese make
no distinction as regards this point;
but, in the grading, the cultivated
product seems to fall lower in the scale
on account Of it being less firm in con-
sistency than the wild. A spongy root
is practically worthless. If the ginseng
is not well packed and abSorbs moist
ure i1f~transit it also lowers the grade
materially. On account of these diff
culties to be overcome, it would seem
advisable to sell through brokers in
New York or San Francisco. There is
always, however, good local market
for American ginseng in China.

Nitrate Deposits.

There is a generally prevalent idea
that it is an admitted fact that the
Gillian Nitrate deposits will, at the
present rate of working, be exhausted
in the near future, probably within
about twenty years. This estimate
is based upon surveys and calcula-
tons made some ten or fifteen years
ago, before a complete examination
of the pampas outside the province
of Tarapaca had been undertaken. In
recent years vast deposits have been
discovered and surveyed in the dis

How To Double Your Endurance.

Chew your food thoroughly, and you
will be able to do 100 per cent more
work. More than that, you will not
require SO much food.
Professor Irving Fisher, of Yale,
who has been conducting experiments
with nine students during four months
of this year, says:
AT the middle of the experiment the
men had improved 80 per cent in en-
durance. The second half showed as
marked improvement as the first, and
at the end of the experiment the men
were able to do double the amount Of
physical work, as shown by gymnasium
tests, that they were capable of in jan

TO TRY CHOIR CASE
Charges Against Edward ConkIin
to Be Heard in the Circuit
Court Next Week
WOODSTOCK CHURCH DIVIDED

What may prove to be the most
sensational case heard ia the courts
of Kenosha county n many years will
be tried at the coming term of the
Circuit Court when Edward Conklin,.
who was arrested at Twin Lakes last
fall on serious statutory charge, is
charged with having illegal relations
with Mrs. Clara D. Murphy, the di-
vorced wife of P. w. Murphy, of
Woodstock, ILL.,, and it leaked out to-
day that many people prominent in
society at Woodstock had been sum-
moned to come to Kenosha as wit
nesses in the case. Conklin has en-
ployed two attorneys to defend him
and the district attorney will have the
silent aid of a well known attorney at
I Woodstock. 1t is claimed that the ar
rest of Conklin has resulted in the
Baptist church at Woodstock being
divided on account of the fact that
both Mrs. Murphy and Conklin former
i1y sang in the choir of the church and
the members of both factions will in
sist that the fullest publicity be given
to all the facts in the case. 1t is
claimed that the church people will
stand directly behind the prosecution.
! Conklin was arrested on the com.
! plant of Murphy just after the latter
had secured decree of divorce from
his wife, and the accused man at once
gave surety bond in the sum of $1,000
to insure his presence in court when
! the case was called.
Murphy is one Of the most promi-
nent men of Woodstock, and it is
claimed that Conklin was coachman
with whom Mrs. Murphy had become
enamored. It is expected that the
case will be one of the hardest fought
criminal cases ever seen in the local
court.

FOR BETTER ROADS
somers and Pleasant Prairie Boards
to Act This Year on Good Roads

Somers and Pleasant Prairie Boards
to Act This Year on Good Roads
People of the towns of Pleasant
Prairie and Somers are urging the
members of the town boards of the
two towns to take some action to start
movement for better roads before
the opening of the spring in order
that the work may be done during the
good weather.
The town boards of these towns
last year made large appropriations
for road building and it is expected
that the money will be expended this
year. Some of the farmers seem to
favor the building Of macadam road
between Racine and Kenosha along
the lake shore, but it is probabl that
the great run of voters in the town of
Somers would oppose such an action
by the board. Several plans for i'm
provement have been made in Pleas
ant Prairie but the plans have not
been made public.

Preparations are being made by

Capt. Cameron will notify the men of

Warm Gales of Switzerland.

wind Of Switzerland-tha warm, dry
gale which comes over the mountains
and in spring will melt two feet Of
snow In day. It's cause is most pc
culiar The Foehn comes from the
south. AS it strikes the Alps it is wet,
like most gales which have crossed the
sea, but the south face Of the noun
tains receives its rains, and as it
crosses the SUBMITS it is dry. The
moving air current is also compressed
and therefore Dramatically heated. AS
it falls into the northern valleys IN a
cataract of air it gains heat at the rate
Of half a degree for every hundred feet
Of descent. 1t usually blows for two
or three days, causing great suffering
by its Cry heat and oppression. While

AFTER INFORMATION
Russian Consul in Chicago Interested in
Russian's Estates

Baron Slippenbach, the Imperial
Russian Consul in Chicago, is taking
a deep interest in the settlement of
the estates.of the 7 Russians killed
in the explosion at the Powder mill
last January, and he has sent letters
to the city asking that he be given all
possible information in regard to the
estates.
1t is not thought that the estates
are large enough to have them turned
over to the officials of the Car, and
an effort will be made to have them
settled in this court without airy
international correspondence beyond
the location of the relatives of the de.
ceased mar. Thus far the Russian
Consul has sought to take charge OF
the settlement of but one estate, but
il is thought that this is simply a
feeler in regard to all of them, and
that the Russian government will
seek the others later.

DOWIE LAID AT REST
Final Service Over the Remains
Of the Dead Prophet Of Zion
City Held on Thursday
GREAT CROWD PAYS TRIBUTE

After the turmoil rest. All that
was mortal of John Alexander Dowie,
founder of religious sects and of
city, was laid to rest in Lake Mound
cemetery at Zion City last Thursday.
The departure of Dowie from Zion
was quite as spectacular as his en-
trance and for an hour Zion breathed
a little o. the glories of other days,
but it was for an hour andsall knew
that it was false glorys that had
come back only to adorn the final trip
through the streets of the lman who
had made Zion great. The final
tribute to Dowie was worthy of the
prophet had done for hundreds and
thousandssof people who came from
all parts Of the world to. pay last
tribute of loving memory, if not
Of respect, to the memory Of the dead.
There were men and women who wept
as the remains were taken Ethrough
the streets to the last resting place,
while others who showed signs of
deepest sorrow threw flowers on the
bier and in the open grave waiting to
receive the remains Of the man who
once they venerated. Special trains
we're run from Chicago and hundreds
of people curious to witness the final
chapter of great life went to Zion
City.
The funeral service in itself was
worthy of little more than passing no.
tice. Christian songs we're sung and
men whoshad been close to Dowie in
his life paid tribute to his memory.
The past was forgotten and the strug-
giles of the few months past we're
buried while Judge Barnes and Over
seer Speicher paid their loving tribute
to the dead. The mantle of charity
was thrown over all the faults of
Dowie while his virtues, which were
many, were extolled. Many people,
remembering the kindnesses Of other
days, sat In the great tabernacle and
wept.
The cortege to the grave was a
memorable one. The casket, mag
ni6cent cedar box covered with white
broadcloth, was placed in a white
hearse drawn by four white horses,
aud number of the Zion Guard, still
faithful to their organizer, acted as a
guard of honor to the remains and re-
NAMED on guard until the last clod
had been heaped over the cement
vault. Mrs. Dowie and Gladstone
Dowie, the one surviving son, we're
given the place of honor at the
funeral.

he has come to have a great respect

CLERKS WANT CHANGES
Retail Clerks Send Merchants Request
for Change in Hours for Work


There is rumble of trouble be-
tween the merchants and the Retail
Clerks Union of the city, as the
clerks have sent to the merchants a
request for change in hours of
work, which will bring about the
elimination of all work after supper
on Friday, making Monday and Sat
urday the only two nights in the
week when the stores will be kept
open. So far nothing has been done
in the matter. The officials of the
Clerks Union state that the demand
for a change in hours has been asked
on account of the women clerks, but
they decline to discuss the matter
further. It is said that the action
was taken on vote of a majority of
the members of the union.
