European Food Prices Advance.

An official report recently made in
the United Kingdom shows large adj
vances in prices of different food prod
ducts. Germany has shown similar ad-
vances, and now Austria follows suit
in report showing the increase in
food prices since 1907. Lard increas-
ed IL per cent, butter 20 per cent.
-four 90 per cent, potatoes % per cent.
Duttermilk 10 per cent, bread 40 per
cent. meat 60 per cent, sugar 90 per
cent, veal 1912 per cent and pork 10
per cent. Restaurants in Prague made
10 per cent increase in prices in De-
tober Fuel and pretty nearly every.
thing else has gone up, showing that
the increase which has taken place in
the United States and Canada is sim.
ply part of a worldwide advance in
prices. AS this advance has been felt
as much in the United Kingdom as in
countries governed under tariff. it is
evident that the tariff has nothing to
do with it.-Exchange.

Bnects of Downward Revision.

The cutlery which the free-trade
press has been making about the al
legged increase in rates under the new
tariff is shown to be without any sub
stantial foundation by the returns of
imports for the month of August The
total imports for August, 1908. under
the Dingley tariff were S91, 1S3,5 1916 in
value and for August, 1909, nearly all
under the new tariff, the imports
reached S117,0S1,6S There was an
increase of nearly ten million dollars
in imports of manufactures for the
month of August alone. The truth is
that rates were not increased as they
should have been in many cases to
make up for the greater cost of pro-
duction in the United States. The to-
tai domestic exports in August reach
ed $107. 161, 81, while in August a
year ago the total was S10S,797 $50.
Thus the exports fell off and the i'm
ports increased nearly 26 million dol
lars, so that the imports exceeded the
exports over 16 million dollars.
For eight months ending with Au-
gust the increase of importations, COM
pared with the corresponding eight
months of the year before, amounted
TO S24,497,151, while the total exports
for the same eight months were $780,
100000 less than last year. The fact
that the increased rate of importa-
tions continued practically the same
in September of this year would indi-
cate that the increase was not in any
marked degree due to the release of
goods held in bond awaiting lower
duties.
These trade statistics, on the con-
trary, seem TO show that our tariff
has been revised downward greatly to
the advantage of foreign producers.

the products of American labor and

Coffee is such secret worker that

sickness or disease, but here is a very
sure way to find out the truth.
A lady in Memphis gives an inter-
esting experience her husband had

been using it for some time and was
an invalid
The physician in charge shrewdly
suspected that coffee was the Worm
at the root of the tree" and ordered
1t discontinued with instructions to
use Postum regularly in its place.
The wife says: I'VE found that
was the true remedy for his stomach
and heart trouble and we would have
gladly paid a hundred times the
amount of the doctors charge when
we found how wise his judgment was.
"The use of Postum instead of cof-
fee was begun about year ago. and
1T has made my husband a strong,
pounds in that time and his stomach
and heart trouble have all disappear.

Maine Railroad. where dozens OF
trains pass daily, yet she has never
ridden on the steam cars.
Nor has Eliza Corliss ever seen the
trolley cars. notwithstanding she hears
each hour of the day their bells and
whistles as they whirl from Laconia
to the Weirs, less than four miles
from her cottage.
Miss Cor,'ss. who proudly terms her
self the oldest old maid in the State,
is a great lover of horses. She has
studied the habits of these dumb
beasts for years and has much liter
ature In her home concerning their
care and treatment.
1t has been some time since she has
ridden behind a mare The last ride
that she recalls was to Center Harbor,
and took place one memorable day
in the summer time sixty years ago.
This ride was a momentous went in
her mind, and she never fails to tell
the calling stranger of the ecstasy the
trip afforded her.
Meredith's grand old lady, beloved
by every resident Of the town and by
hundreds who live in other towns, is
remarkable, too. for many other
things.
She lives all alone in a twostory
house of twelve rooms and does ali OF
her own work every day in the year.
Besides looking after the regular
homework she attends also to the du.
ties that present themselves out OF
doors in her garden. She does Der
own planting and blowing Her corn
this season has outrivaled that of her
farmer neighbors.
One reason why Miss Corliss has no
use for steam trains is because a
brother of hers was killed almost be-
fore her eyes on the railroad which
runs so near her house, yet on wlich
she has never paid a fare. He was
working ON the road blasting at the
time.
This old lady loves flowers All of
the old kinds bloom in their seasons
beside and inside the little cottage.
No other person in Meredith knows
as well, of course, as she does, the
history of the thriving town. She has
seen 1t grow from a place of but a
few isolated farmhouses to one Of the
most flourishing and prosperous towns
of the State, that to-day boasts large
