TRADERS LOSE
BY Low RATES
ON STEAMSHIPS
KOSmOs Line Reduces Tariff for
Freight From Seattle to
Central America
Pacific Mail Meets Cut, but San
Francisco Is Still at a
Disadvantage

What practically amounted to a
monopoly by San Francisco merchants
of trade with the ports of Central
America has been knocked on the head
by the Kosmos lines new freight tariff.
The advantage of a cut of from 25 to
so per cent under the former rate is
overshadowed by the fact that the new
tariff makes the rates to Central Amer
lea from Puget sound the same as
from San Francisco. In other words,
it practically shuts out the San Fran
cisco merchant from all trade with the
lower coast except in California prod
ucts.
Cut to Aid Merchants
The Pacific Mail company has met
the cut and reduced its rates 10 per
cent below the Kosmos lines new
tariff as far as it applies to business
between San Francisco and ports be-
tween here and Ancon. This was done,
Pacific Mail officials say, not as a re-
taliatory measure, but for the purpose
OF preserving to San Francisco mer-
chants some chance to compete for the
business that once was all theirs.
When the Kosmos line first started
running its ships to Puget sound the
freight tariff to Central America was
from $3.50 to 50 higher than from San
Francisco. This differential placed the
San Francisco merchant on an equal
footing with the Puget sound mer-
chant, and the San Francisco merchant s
connections enabled him to hold the
trade.
Reduction Hurts Trade
With a tariff which enables them to
reach the Central American market as
cheaply as the San Francisco shipper
can sell his goods there, the Puget
sound commission man is now in a
much better position to do business.
Wages on the sound are lower and the
cost of production less.
San Francisco has little grain and
no -four for export, but in the past.
protected by the differential rate, the
local merchant was able to buy these
products in the north for his Central
American trade. The new tariff has
shut him out and there is no relief in
sight. His old enemy the Pacific Mail
has done all it can to help him. but
unless the Kosmos line restores the
differential a large part of business
that the San Francisco merchant re-
garded as a sort of birthright will be
carried past his doors with a Puget
sound tag on it. 1t is probably the
first time on record that reduction of
rates has not been welcomed by the
San Francisco shfpper

LAPS IN CALIFORNIA.

The Californian government has made public a highly interesting re- port on Japanese immigration. Pre- pared since the anti-Japanese agita- tion in 1908, the report appears to disprove practically all the charges brought against the Japanese, and to substantiate the theory that the agitation was largely fomented to serve the ends and ambitions of To. cal politicians and other selfish in terests
 There are about 10000 Japanese in California out of 6 total population of some 100000. Sixty-five per cent of the Japanese are engaged in agri culture and 15 per cent as domestic servants. Their number is rapidly shrinking under the present regime
 The investigators do not, however offer any specific solution of the diff culty, to the roots of which they probably go when they point out that the only trouble with Japan ese laborers is that they are ID less ambitious than whites. As soon as he teg!ns to try to emerge from mere servility" the Japanese "ceas es to be an ideal laborer."

Getting Into Moral Debt.

Philip D. Armour, millionaire and philanthropist, continually warned young men against getting into debt He loved free men and despised slaves. When asked if he admired certain brilliant orator he said He may have a superb voice and fine presence, but cant you hear the rattle of his chain? The man is not free. He is under moral obliga- tiOns that demoralize him He is not speaking the deepest thing in his soul, and l haven't time to hear any slave talk. l want a man to be just as free as I am"
 On another occasion he said Don't get into debt-I mean moral debt. It is bad enough to get into debt financially.

RECIPES
Nj exican Beef.


 The MeXicans have a dish known as "Chili con carne" (meat with Chilli pepper), the ingredients for which one would doubtless have diff ficulty in obtaining except in the southwestern United States. How ever, a good substitute for it may be made with the foods available in all parts of the country. The Mexican recipe is as follows:
 Remove the seeds from two Chilli peppers, soak the pods in a pint of warm water until they are soft, scrape the pulp from the skin and add to the water. Cut two pounds of beef into small pieces and brown in butter or drippings. Add a clove of garlic and the Chilli water. Cook until the meat is tender, renewing the water if necessary. Thicken the sauce with flour. Serve with meat or used as a border
 In the absence of the Chilli pep pers, water and cayenne pepper may be used, and onions are substituted for garlic. For the Mexican beans, red kidney beans either fresh or can ned make a good substitute. If the canned beans are used they should be drained and heated in a little savory fat or butter. The liquid it is cooking. If dried beans are used they should be soaked until soft, then cooked in water until ten der and rather dry, a little butter or dripping and salt being used for seasoning or gravy. White or dried Lima beans may be used in simi- lar way.
 Haricot of Mutton.
 Two tablespoonfuls of chopped onions.
 Two tablespoonfuls of butter or drippings.
 Two cups of water, and salt and pepper.
 One and one-half pounds of lean mutton or lamb cut into Pinch pieces.
 Fry the onions in the butter, add the meat and brown; cover with water and cook until the meat is tender Serve with border of Lima beans, seasoned with salt, pepper, butter, and little chopped parsley. Fresh, canned, dried or evapOrated Lima beans may be used in making l this dish.
 Roast Pork With Cowpeas. For this dish a leg of young pork should be selected. With sharp knife make deep cut in the knuck. le and fill the opening with sage pepper and salt, and chopped onion When the roast is half done scar the skin but do not cut deeper than the outer rind. When the meat is nearly cooked pour off the excess of fat and add a quart of white cowpeas which have been previously parboiled or "hulled" and cook slowly until quite done and the meat is brown. Apple sauce may be serv ed with this dish.

VALUE OF MEAT AS FOOD.

Considering the fact that meat diet and the further fact that the price of meat, as Of other foods, has advanced in recent years, it is nat ural for housekeepers to seek more economical methods of preparing meats for the table and to turn their thoughts toward the less expensive cuts and ask what economy is in volved in their use, how they may be prepared, and whether the less expensive dishes are as nutritious and as thoroughly and easily digest ed as the costlier ones.
 The value of meat as food depends chiefly on the presence of two class es of nutrients, CD protein or nj trogenous, and (2) fat. The mineral matter it contains, particularly the phosphorus compounds, is also of much importance, though it is small in quantity. Protein is essential for the construction and maintenance of the body and both protein and fat yield energy for muscular power and for keeping up the temperature of the body. Fat is especially import ant as source of energy. It is possible to combine the fat and pro- tein of animal foods so as to meet the requirements of the body with such materials only, and this is done in the Arctic regions, where vege table food is lacking; but in general it Is considered that diet is better and more wholesome when, in addi- tion to animal foods, such as meat, which is rich in proteins and fats, it contains vegetable foods, which are richest in sugar, starch and oth- CT carbohydrates. Both animal and vegetable foods supply the mineral substances which are essential to body growth and development In meat mineral matter constitutes about 0.3 to 1.9 per cent. on an av craze of the total fresh material.
 The general differences between the various cuts are shown in the following table:
 Average per cent. of edible portion
 of different cuts of meat;
