Mr.. Howard, the British charge and

WATCH THE LARGE AFFAIRS.
Business Man Makes Mistake in Be.
 ing Smothered in Detail.

When you are so buried in the de tail of your business that you cannot get clear, sharp view of your affairs in all their relations, you are in dan. ger of failure. No great general ever takes a gun and goes with his soldiers into the thick of the fight, where he would be so stunned by the noises, and so blinded by the smoke of bat. tie that he could not watch the move. ments of the enemy, could not see where his own troops needed rein forcements, or how to hurl his forces on the weakest place in the enemy's ranks. He must go where he can watch every movement of the armies. If you are going to be general in business, you must keep where you can get a clear view of your affairs and know what is going on every. where. While you are buried in de. tail, your business may be in a dan. gerous position. from which you could extricate 1t if you knew the exact sit. uation. Many a man fails in trying to be general and a private at the same time.-Success.

In view of the somewhat general demand that the use of a limited amount of benzoate of soda and other chemical preservatiyes should be ad- mitted in the putting up of ketchup, pickles and-other table delicacies, the claim advanced by the H. J. Heinz company of Pittsburg. that all such foods could be adequately preserved without the use of artificial preser- vatives, compelled the deepest inter- est of the pure food commission. At a hearing given by the commission recently the representatives of the Heinz company produced a two-horse wagonload of various pickles, pre- serves, ketchup and canned goods of all kinds which they showed to be absolutely free from artificial pre- servatives. It was shown that the company had been experimenting for years to produce products which would bear transportation and stor- age without preservatives and it was satisfied it had solved the problem. What we can dO," he said, others can do" and he urged upon the con- mission the necessity of absolutely prohibiting the use of even a small quantity of preservatives in such foods. The Heinz company being one of the largest, if not the largest packer of such products in the eoun- try, its attitude toward the use of preservatives will attract widespread attention and will probably lead to a further controversy between the com mission and packers desiring to con- tinue the use of benzoate of soda and other chemical preservatives.

FRIDAY, MAY 3, 1907.

The department of commerce and labor has been notified that the coun- cil of the Ottoman empire has for bidden the exportation of tobacco seed from all parts of Turkey. This action was taken, it is reported, be- cause the tobacco trade of Turkey has suffered greatly of recent years from the competition of South African and other planters who pro- duce large quantities of tobacco grown from Turkish seed. It is claimed that tobacco from the original Turkish seed will not produce seed of equal properties if planted outside it's native cline, consequently the planters elsewhere have purchased seed annually in regions where the finest favored Turkish tobacco is grown. By prohibiting the export ing of the seed the council expects to end the production of Turkish" tobacco outside of Turkey. What effect it will have on American made Turkish cigarettes is problemati- cal.

The department of agriculture is authority for the statement that America supplies nearly one half of the hops used in the United Kingdom where immense quantities of beer are consumed. The United States also exports large quantities of hops to Australia, British India and Canada where beer is largely con- stunned, but it is naively remarked that in these countries comparatively large amounts of hops are used per barrel, but they 'are not particular as to the quality" In 1905 the breweries of this country used 41,- 620,172 pounds of hops in brewing 54,724,553 barrels. The quantity of hops imported that year was 10,- 113,9S9 pounds, valued at $2,326,- 9S2. Hops are principally produced in New York, California, Oregon and Washington, the remainder of the country raising negligible quantity, yet it is stated that there are large areas suitable for hop-raising, suffi- cient, indeed, to supply the trade of the world. To grow hops success fully the soil must be fertile and mel low, or as it is when suitable for corn; we'll drained but not too dry; with climate mild and not subject to extreme heat or cold during the growing season, nor to winds.

 We think that Edward Markham's estimate of the influence of Edgar AL len Poe on American literature is not far from correct. He classes Poe as one of the three greatest forces in our literature. Although not so many people are acquainted with his works to-day as forty yearsago, perhaps, yet he is again gaining wide publicity and will in time come into his own. Some time the men who manage the Hall of Fame will find a place there for Poe, and recognize what the most competent judges have long admitted as to his influence on our literature and his supreme and matchless genius Bridgeport Standard.
