What Americans Drink.

Americans must be a thirsty ma
ton, judging from the imports of
drinkables as set forth in a state
ment just issued from the bureau
of statistics of the department of
commerce and labor (
The United States drank the es-
,sence of more than l,ooo,oo0,oo0
pounds of coffee in 1909, valued at
Ss6,0oO,ooO. That was about one
dollars worth of coffee for every
person IN the United States.
Tea is not such a favorite. Only
a little more than 10G,ooo,00O
pounds, valued at about SIG, 100000,
came in.
But in spirits, wines, etc, the ma
ton made its highest record for I'M
portation in. 1903 and consumed for
eign products of that kind to the
value of more than $4,000, 900,
more than twice as much as was
imported in 1899.
South America supplied most of
the coffee. Asia most of the tea and
Europe most of the wines and Ii
,quors.
The United States is the worlds
largest coffee drinker and Great
Britain is the worlds greatest con
sumer of tea.
Every person in the United States
used on the average of II pounds
of coffee during 1909, but the use
of tea remained about unchanged q
from the previous year. Anderson

Twelve Things to Do in March

l. See that the seed bed for all
crops is not merely well broken but
thoroughly pulverized by narrowing
and disking. An ounce of prepara-
tion may be worth pound of culti-
vation.
2. Get ready with weeders and
harrows to kill the grass before it
comes up. Don't be afraid of hurt
ing the stand. This will not hap
pen.
8. Place orders for all improved
plows, weeders, cultivators, and
other labor-saving, tools and machin-
cry. Get ready to make your crop
with cheap horse labor instead of
expensive handlabor.
4. Don't waste time and sweat on
scrub seed or scrub stock this year.
Improved varieties will pay as well
with field crops.
5. Get ready to share with the
Western farmer his golden flood OF
profits in raising hogs and cattle.
First of all get an improved breed,
and then arrange to feed economi-
cally. With proper pasture crops
both pork and beef can be made
more cheaply in the South than in
the West.
8. Of the over s5o,ooo,oo spent
in the South for fertilizers each year
at least slo,OOO,OoO is wasted
through ignorace of crop needs and
soil needs. Try to stop your part
of this colossal loss.
Z. Join in the great corn-raising
revival now sweeping over the
South. The biggest corn crops the
world has known have been made
in the South, and we arejust wax
ing up to the fact that Dixie can
beat the Corn Beltitself raising this
king of cereals.
8. Don't forget the garden, and
don't make, your wife do all the
work in it. Remember vegetables
are cheaper than meat and more
healthful.
9. We cannot have good fruit
now without spraying. a good
spray pump will often payfor itself
the first year, in the orchard and
potato, patch.
10. Drag the roads after every
rain. The split-log drag is the
cheapest good roads maker ever
invented.
IL. Paint the farm house and
Iwhitewash the outbuildings that
| you do not care to paint. 1t will
pay you simply in your increased
sense of pride and dignity.
l2. Get your boy to join the
Boys Corn Club movement, with
an acre Of corn, and give your gir
a flock of pure bred 'chickens. And
be sure to let each one have the
money he or she makes from this
allotment nt.-Progressive Farmer.

Dear. Sirs: Your manager. Mr.. P,
N. Lott, called at my house few
days ago to deliver an Oxydonor
purchased for my daughter. She
wanted it for constitutional treat
ment, however, when Mr.. Lott came
he found me in bed very sick with
LaGrippe. My head, joints and mus
cles all seemed to ache at once; my
nausea was so great I could not hold
my head up, and my bowels and
kidneys were in a bad fix. After ap-
plying the little instrument as di-
rected, in short time I was perfect
.ly easy and slept soundly. On wax
ing 1 took the Oxydonor off for
awhile and applied again that night,
feeling very comfortable. Next
morning I was well. l ate break
fast and went to, my business.
My daughter is how improving,
having discarded all medicine, feel
ing better than she has for quite a
time. 1 certainly believe that dia-
duction will revolutionize the meth
cd ofltreating sick people and will
be panacea for all human ills, |
heartily recommend it to the atfct-
ed public.

Hammond called Mr.. Vance a
lie. Whereuponaboth men drew their
pistols, l-r. Hammond firing the
first shot. The firing was kept up
until both had emptied their pistols,
Mr.. Hammond receiving three
wounds and Mr.. Vance two. When

nesses rushed between them and
seized both pistols. The entire ten
shots were fired at close range.

AWARD SATISFACTORY
TO BRITISH OFFICERS.

LONDON, Sept THE British
colonial office received the announce
ment of the Newfoundland fisheries
decision at The Hague with consider
able satisfaction.
The award in favor of this country
on question is particularly gratifying,
as the point involved is considered the
most important of all those at issue,
and specially important from the i'm
peria viewpoint, as it is considered
highly undesirable that the legislation
of any British colony should have to
be referred for approval to a foreign
power. The colonial office was some-
what surprised at securing a favorable
verdict on the question of bays.
Great Britain gained the two most
important contentious" was the view
expressed at the foreign office today
over the fisheries award at The Hague.
The officials thought that the decision
would he satisfactory all around,
though 1t was possible that some dis
appointment might be felt in Canada
that the imperial government had lost
on point four Apparently it had been
believed generally at the foreign office
that Senator Roots speech on question
five had converted the whole tribunal,
and so the verdict thereon was a pleas
ant surprise. Regret was expressed
tfat the American counsel in arguing
point two gad raised the question
whether Newfoundland had the right
to forbid Observation-Disclosures engaging
on American vessels, as it was felt that
this question might possibly be the

BROKERS' HOME
LOOTED, PRECIOUS
PAINTINGS STOLEN
Daring Thieves Open Wine After
Gathering Booty Valued
at $4,000.

AS yet the police have found no trace
of thei thieves who looted the home of
Nathaniel King, at s4S Clinton ave-
nue., and made away with more than
$4,000 worth of silverware, oil paint
ings laces. bric-a-brac .and bronze stat
ues.
The work of the thieves was done
in a masterly fashion. They collected
all the oil paintings they wanted, took
them UP to room on the second floor
and neatly removed the canvas from
the frames. The silverware was stored
in a room on the'third floor. and every
thing of value was taken. The rob-
bers did not even leave a clue.
After packing up, .hejr booty the bur-
glars opened wine and INDUCED freely.
They smoked Mr.. Kings cigars and
also tested some of the preserves found
in the cellar. Entrance was gained by
picking lock on a rear door. The
robbery was net discovered until yes
terday noon, and 1t believed by the
police and Mr.. King that. after working
leisurely for several hours. the thieves
packed their booty and removed it
yesterday morning.
NelghborS say tnat wagon was
seen in front of the house and it APP
pears as though the goods were put
into trunks and carted away in the
wagon.
The police are completely baff1ed and
consider this one of tine biggest and
best managed robberies ever executed
in this city.
Mr.. King is member of the broker
age firm of Eisele g. King, 752 Broad
street, and with his family is spending
the summer at Belmar. None of the
family has been in the house since
June.
Yesterday Harry Crewe, a watchman,
notified Mr.. King that he thought the
rear door had been tampered with. He
went up to the house with Crewe and
discovered the robbery. Sergeant Tenn
pleton, of the detective bureau. has
been assigned to the case and admits
that the finding of the thieves will be
no easy matter.
There was nothing malicious about
the thieves; they disturbed nothing
that they did not want.
All the pictures in the house are COW
cred with mosquito netting, and the
visitors just cut slit into the covering
to see If the pictures were of value. A
small painting of a dollar bill looked so
real that the thieves removed 1t, but
noticing their mistake left it behind.
