LESS CHAMPAGNE DRINKING.
Interesting Facts Disclosed By Bureau

 af Statistics.
 Washington, Feb. 1T---Apparentiy champagne drinking in the United States is on the wane. Both the duan- ttty and value of that beverage import cd into this country last year were less than in the preceding one and practic- ally no greater than dozen years ago.
 This Is only one of several surpris- ing features of 8 statement issued to- day by the Bureau of Statistics on the "Fhh and Flow of the Commerce of the United States in 1906:"
 The figures show that 3s4.727 dozen quarts of champagne and other sparkl- ing wines were imported in 1906, valued at S5.855,4 ,425. while in the imHne- diate preceding year the number of dozen quarts was 401,5t4. valued at $5.995.6Ht
 Another surprising fact Is that while the United States Is one of the great est coffee consuming countries. in the world. yet 1t is actually exporting that product. The exports of domestic pro- ducts are valued at $3.S70,592. This is explained by the fact that the Porto Rico and Hawaiian Islands are GUS toms districts of the United States. and that their exports to foreign countries are now included with the figures of exports from the various customs dis
  1,600, 900 pounds of coffee of foreign production brought into this country. was re-eyported.
 Stil another curious feature of Amer ican commerce is that while this coun- try produces three-fourths of the worlds cotton, $11.000.000 worth of that product was imported last year. to say nothing of $1,000.000 worth of waste cotton. This product. however, Is Of q different quality from that produced in the United States, being of the long and silky fibre, coming principally from Egypt,
 While this country Is the largest manufacturer of cotton goods. the in- ports of manufactures of this product aggregated in round figures $6s.0O0.0OO in value, which was more than fifty per cent in excess of the value of these goods exported.
 In the copper industry, although this country produces one-haif of the worlds copper, and is one of the lar gest exporters of that product, it also is one of the largest importers of that commodity. The value or copper im- ported In 1906 was $37,0oo.o0O. while the exports of copper amounted to over $90, ,O00, 900. this anomaly apparently grows out of the fact that the United States has superior smelting and re- fining facilities and that the copper from its immediate neighbors at the North and South--Canada and Mexico flows to this country.

The women Mr. Lawrence argued, should havo the active cooperation of men in their en- deavors to establish the cause of tenn perauce. The mere living of temper ate lives Is not sufficient example and encouragement to others; more posit- i've appeal must be made.
