PRESSED HARD.
Coffee's Weight on Old Age.

When prominent men realize the in
furious effects of coffee and the change
in health that Postum can bring, they
are glad to lend their testimony for
the benefit of others.
A superintendent of public schools
in Southern state says: my moth
er, since her early childhood, was an
lnveterate coffee drinker, had been
troubled with her heart for number
of years and complained of that weak
all over feeling and sick stomach.
Some time ago was making an Of
fetal visit to distant part of the
the merchants of the place. l noticed
a somewhat peculiar flavor Of the cof-
fee. and asked him concerning 1t. He
replied that 1t was Postum. was so
pleased with 1t that, after the meal was
over, / bought a package to carry
home with me, and had wife pre-
pare some for the next meal; the
whole family liked 1t SO well that we
discontinued coffee and used Postum
entirely.
IT had really been at times very
anxious concerning my mothers con-
dition, but we noticed that after using
Postum for short time, she felt so
much better than she did prior to its
use, and had little trouble with her
heart and no sick stomach; that the
headaches were not SO frequent, and
her general condition much improved.
This continued until she was as well
and hearty as the rest of us.
II know Postum has benefited my
self and the other members of the FAM
lily. but in more marked degree tn
the case Of my mother. as she was q
victim of long standing"

OUR MEAT BUSINESS SHRINKS
Government Bureau Points to a
Marked Falling of In Foreign
and Domestic Trade.

Considerable shrinkage in the COM
mercial supply of some of the prime
necessaries of life is indicated by the
movements of live stock and meat
products in the United States during
the first half of the present year.
This decline was shown both in do
nestle and in foreign commerce.
According to figures prepared by
the Washington bureau of statistics,
the shortage in the commercial supply
of live stock is best shown by COM
parison of the half-yearly figures.
which totaled 16,463.756 head for the
first six months of 1910, as compared
with more than 20,000,000 in same
period last year and nearly 21,000,000
for the corresponding period of 1908.
This loss is due almost entirely, it
is reported, to the smaller number of
hogs brought to market, the shortage
in them thus far this year being
about 25 per cent. The curtailment in
the commercial supply of cattle SO far
this year has been six per cent. less
than normal, while the receipts of
sheep at the seven leading markets
SHOWS d utCllut Ol Ii per CtHl. nc
decline in the supply of sheep began
after 1906, that of cattle after 1907
and that of hogs after 1908.
Instances of the heavy losses in ex-
port trade are shown by the fact that,
while more than 200.000,000 pounds
of fresh beef were sent out of the
country in the fiscal year 1908, only
100000 pounds were sent during
the fiscal year just closed; that the
shipments of bacon dropped from 241,-
100000 pounds in 1908 to 152, 100000
pounds this year; of hams and shoul-
ders from 221.OOO,O0O pounds in 1908
to 146,000,000 pounds in 1910, and of
lard from more than 100000, 900
pounds in 1905 to 362. 100000 pounds
| in 1910.

CHEF ARTICLES OF EXPORT
Washington statlstlcians Say a Marked
Decrease Is Shown In Corn,
Wheat, Flour and Meats.

Cotton, copper, Illuminating oil,
wheat-these articles in the order
named, formed the most important ar
tIcles exported from the United States
during the last fiscal year. The valne
of the cotton exported was $45O.OOO'
O0O OF the copper. $50, ,50O.O 900; of the
Illuminating oil, $62. 100000. and of the
wheat. $47, 100000 Other articles OF
export ranked in value as follows;
Flour lard. tobacco, lumber, leather,
corn, bituminous coal and lubricating
OIL
In nearly all of the articles of ma
tural production there was marked
decline in the exports of 1910, as COM
pared with previous years, while In
certain manufactures the figures Tor
the year are larged than for any pre-
vious year and the total for all manu-
factures probably will exceed that OF
any earlier year. The bureau of statis-
tics, which has given out these figures,
has not yet completed the total value
of the manufactures exported.
The falling off is most marked In
corn, wheat, flour and meats; wheat
falling from s161, 100000 in 1892. the
high year, to $4,000. 900 in 1910; corn
from ss5,OOO,OOO in 1900 to $25,5OO,-
900 in 1910; flour from s75.00O0OO in
1893 to s46,5OO,OO0 in 1910; lard from
$50, 100000 in 1906 to $43.000,000 in
1910; bacon from $46,OOO,OOO in 1898
to s1s,50O.OO0 in 1910; fresh beef from
$32, 100000 in 1901 to s7.750,O00 in
1910, and cattle from $42,000,O00 in
1904 to $12.00O,OOO last year.

LAW ON LARD SUBSTITUTE
Washington Holds Compound Covered
by Meat Statute and Must Be
Inspected.

Secretary Wilson's meat inspectors
will continue to inspect lard substitute,
and not pound of that article can go
into interstate or foreign commerce
unless it bears the mark ~. S. In
spected and Passed"
This is the gist of an opinion rem
dered by Judge Fowler, who was act
ing attorney general during the abb
sence in Alaska of Mr.. Wickersham.
The opinion declares that lard sub
stitute, which is a cooking compound
made up of one-fifth animal fat and
four-fifths cotton-seed oil, is fairly
within the definition of a meat food
product and must be inspected.
This opinion confirms the construc-
ton placed on the meat inspection
law" said Acting Secretary of State
Hays. I'VE have inspected lard sub
stitute ever since the law was passed
and never had any doubt about the
matter. But some manufacturers
thought inspection of their product
was not required"

SHERMAN A GREAT BALL FAN
Vlce-President Let's Statesmen Walt
While He Chats With
Ty Cobb.

Vice-President Sherman can hold
I'D all the dignity of his office and
then some. But just the same, he is
a baseball fan from away back. few
days before congress adjourned, Ty
Cobb, Detroit's famous right fielder,
entered the vice-president's room
in Washington, with Secretary Ben
nett Mr. Bennett stopped with the
baseball player few feet from the
vice-president and started to intro
duce him to some friends. The vice.
president overheard the introduction.
and breaking off his conversation with
the senators, turned quickly and hur-
ried toward Mr.. Bennett.
Whats that?" asked VicePresident
Sherman. did l hear you say Ty
Cobb? don't want to miss anything
like this"
Secretary Bennett introduced the
baseball player, and Ty complimented
the vice-president on his good taste in
being such an enthusiastic baseball
rooter.
"I am going out to the game this aft
ernoon," said the vice-president, and
/ want to.see you knock the ball out
of the lot"
You look much bigger in uniform
than you do now," added Mr.. Sherman
edging off and sizing up Ty from his
heels to his head.
By this time Senators Clay, Bacon.
Purcell and others had begun to won
der who the bronzed individual was
that the vice-president was so inter
ested in. They soon found out, and
shook Ty's hand. The Detroit player
had luncheon in the Senate restaurant
and was the center of attraction.

Discard Pension Papers.

The Washington pension office is
house cleaning. Ninety picked clerks,
who are supposed to know the value
of records, have been engaged In the
stupendous task of sorting out and de-
stroying all correspondence and rec
ords that can never be of any further
use in the adjudication of pension
claims. 1t is estimated that the total
will amount to at least 200 tons. For
this paper mill contractors pay ap-
proximately six dollars ton. The
records go back as far as 1862, but
some of them are of recent date.

the government scheme will be imi-

cheaper to do their own washing than

The cost of installing money wash

from $500 to $500 In most cases. The
government is planning to give the
bankers the benefit of what 1t learns
from it's own experiment. The whole
process is quite simple. According
to Moody's Magazine it has been
found that the best medium for
cleansing, the bills is soapsuds made
from almost any good grade Of pot
ash soap.
Following a vigorous churning in

are rinsed in warm water. One stage
where care must be exercised is in
the bleaching operation, and II Is
not yet determined just what in
gradients in a bleaching powder give

jury to the bills. All the bills of low
er denomination have been found to
launder satisfactorily. but the ink en-
ployed in the printing of some of the
bills of high value shows tendency
to run when washed. However there
is little need for laundering these
longer lived bills.
After the washed bills are dried
by artificial heat they are put. through

bath of alum and glue restores the
finish of the paper. Finally the bills
are packed between large sheets OF

which in addition to the application
of great weight imparts a peculiar

Mr.. Myers had been an inmate

REPUBLICAN, SCAPEGOATS

1nlS seems TO De the open season
for republicansc scapegoats, and
every G. O.P. patriot is cunning
for one or more. In olden times
scapegoats were driven into the
wilderness and the weight of the
sins they bore presumably caused
them to perish. In these modern
times our political scapegoats are
driven into the political wilderness
as manifestation to the people of
the virtue and integrity of the
drivers, or as an example to others
to keep in with the powers that be.
The open season for cunning for
republican scapegoats is always just
before election-their hides have
more political value at that time,
especially if the portents of the
election indicate that it will be
close and doubtful.
The summer capital at Beverly
seems to be the headquarters for
the scapegoat hunt ers and such
eminent statemen as Cannon,
Aldrich and Ballinger-and good
ness knows who besides the dire
exigencies and sins of the party
may require-have been selected
as the living sacrifice.
An evidently inspired dispatch
from Beverly sent out by the As
ISOLATED Press on August 18th tells
the tale of woe and the probable
fate of the scapegoats. There is
striking similarity in the plans of
the administration to the Jewish
ceremonial described in Leviticus.
The scapegoat therein describe d
bears all the sins of the people,
and is sent by the hand of safe
man" into the wilderness where
there are no people. Senator Crane
seems to be the "safe man" in the
ceremonial now under way, but
there must be grave doubt whether
those selected can bear a modieum
of the sins of the republican party.
1t will be necessary to hear from
the Colonel and Pinchot and Car
field before deciding on the efficacy
of the vicarious sacrifice.
Perhaps when it comes to the
pinch, neither Cannon nor Aldrich
nor Ballinger will want to be the
goats. They may suggest that
other republicans could play the
part better. All of those selected
as goats show signs of insubordina-
ton. Uncle Joe says he is eft as
a fiddle, and expects the republi-
cans of his district to re-elect him;
and the republican caucus and not
the administration will decide
whether he shall be reelected as
speaker. Senator Aldrich, at the
request of the "safe man," has
made statement that this goat
business may be carried too far
and that he is still an alive political
entity. Ballinger-here may be
found the real and only scapegoat
will gladly leave the cabinet
after the majority of the COM
mittee of investigation has given
him coat of whitewash. The
"safe man" will escort him to the
wilderness in his whitened garb,
after first parading him through
the western states as the real goat
Of the administration.
These are the plans of the admin
stration, but perhaps the popular
appetite for goats will not be ap-
peased by the Taft banquet and
will demand more scapegoats be-
for election day. tits quite within
the realm Of probabilities that in
casting out these goats to the
ravening wolves, that are politically
termed insurgents" the demand
