1900, and a little over ? million. in
1910; apples, green or ripe, from less
than Ia million in 1890 to liz million
in 1900 and 3 million in 1910; apples
as whole having thus increased
from million to over 5 million in 70
years. Oranges of domestic produc-
ton increased in value of exports from
quarter million dollars in 1900 to
over million in 1910; dried apricots
from It's thousand dollars in 1902, the
earliest year shown, to l million in
1910; prunes, from l % million dol
lars in 1900 ii 4 million in 1910: and
canned fruits from % million dollars
in 1890 to million in 1900, and less
than 3 million in 1910. The exports
of nuts were $4,000 in 1890, and in
1900 were stated at only 156 thousand
dollars, compared with about 400
thousand dollars in the year just end
ed. OF the latter class peanuts is the
chief factor, the exports in the last five
years having amounted to nearly 81

OF foreign fruits consumed in the

Washington, July 10 Fruits and
have passed through ports of the I'm
tied States during the last ten years.
OF this amount, 2SJ million represents
the value of imports from foreign
countries. 1J6 million exports to for
eign countries, II million receipts
from non-contiguous territories of the
United States. and ) million shipments
to those territories.
The value Of fruits and nuts import
ed into and exported from the country
In the fiscal year which ended June
30, 1910, was in round numbers 55 mil
lion dollars, of which about one-third
represented exports. A compilation
made by the bureau Of statistics Of the
department of commerce and labor
states the years imports of fruits and
nuts at IS million and exports at 49,
million dollars.
A study of the commercial move
ments during the last decade or two
develops the fact that domestic pro-
duction is rapidly supplanting certain
classes of fruits, formerly imported in
large quantities. This applies espe-
cially to raisins, prunes and oranges.
Certain other lines, in which local
production is still insufficient to meet
home consumption. continue to in
crease in value Of imports: notably
bananas, figs, walnuts, cocoanuts and
almonds. Comparing the imports of
the year just ended with those of one
and two decades ago. imports of fruits
and nuts as a whole have increased
from u million dollars in 1890 and 10
million dollars In 1900, to about 50
million dollars in 1910. Oranges,
which in 1890 showed a total importa-
ton of million dollars had by 1900
decreased to / million and by 1910 to
less than 100 thousand dollars value
Raisins in 1890 were valued at mil
lion dollars, in 1900 at half million,
and in 1910 at less than one-third mil
lion dollars. Prunes showed in 1890
an importation of 1A million dollars;
in 1900. 4S thousand dollars, and in
1910 and even less value. Lemons
were imported in 1890 to the value of
1-3 million dollars: in 1900 were 3
% million, but in 1900 decreased to )
| million, or less than the figures OF
1890. On the other hand bananas val
ued at 4 2-3 million in 1890, increased
to million in 1900. and nearly II mil
lion in 1910. Almonds, valued at less
than 1 million dollars value in 1880
and 1900, showed in 1910 imports to
the value Of more than ) million dol
lars. Cocoanuts in 1880 were import
ed to the value of 800 thousand dol
lars; in 1900. 7O3 thousand, and in
| 1910 were about Is million dollars.
Walnuts, first separately enumerated
in 1913, have increased in value OF I'M
ports from a little over 1 million dol
lars in that year to ~ million In
1910.
On the export side a far more rapid
growth has occurred since 1890. In
that year the total value Of all fruits
and nuts exported from the country
was but million dollars: in 1900 the
total had increased to nearly IL mil
lion, and in 1910, about 10 million dol.
lars. The principal articles contrib
uting to this growth are apples, prunes
oranges, raisins, apricots. canned
fruits and nuts. Exports of dried ap'
ples have increased from 1 million dol

Summer Eczema and Hot Weather
Skin Troubles Demand Prompt
Treatment With Poslam.

All skin troubles which are preva-
lent in hot weather-rashes, inflam-
nations, so-called summer" eczema,
itching spots, hives, pimples, etc., de-
mand the use Of poslam for their
prompt eradication. Their causes are
found in overheated blood, skin irri-
tation, digestive disorders, etc. In
some persons the eating of fish or ber-
ries in certain months always brings
them on. For clearing the complex
ion, red or inflamed noses, sunburn,
mosquito bites, burns, ETC., poslam
should be used in preference to aught
else, surprising results being noted aft
er a single application.
The readiness with which poslam
heals small surfaces and minor trou-
bles is but an indication Of its rapid
action in curing eczema. letter, scab-
les, itch, etc.. on hands, limbs, scalp
