Williamsburg with the division OF
Charles City and New Kent However
the whole matter was deferred until

CHEESE AS A FOOD,

Cheese contains all the essentials
of human food, according to pamph
let recently iSued by the Department
of Agriculture. The poular belief
that cheese, even when green or un,
ripened. is difficult of digestion, OF
that unripened cheese, or cheese in
any stage of 'ripening is constipatine
is not justified. The milk solids in
cheese are very digestible and make
an almost perfect food. With the adj
dition of rennet and the development
of Tactic acid in cheese-making, some
chemical changes take place; but
these do not transform digestible sol
ids in milk into indigestible in cheese
The digestive disturbances attributed
to peculiarities in the cheese itself
are probably due merely to over-eat
ing, or to the custom of eating cheese
only at the close of the meal, when
one has already had more than
enough food.

CANADIAN PRICES.

c. L. Stallcop, editor of the Brook
Ign (lowa) Chronicle, has just re-
turned from trip to Canada. AL
though Mr.. Stalicop thinks he is in
favor of Canadian reciprocity, he un.
Willingly gives good reasons why he
should not be, in a letter published
in his own paper. Mr.. StallcOp also
gives good reason why Canada is not
an especially inviting field for the
poor man, as the necessities of life
are higher there than they are in the
states. Among other interesting
things Mr.. Stallcop says:
Prices are high in western Cana.
da, and there is little or nothing in
the idea so often expressed that
American goods are sold Cheaply
there. Even machinery made in Can
ada and which does not pay duty, is
generally sold higher than with us.
OF this class of goods | noticed a
Mccormick harvester and a Fair
banks Morse engine, both of which
were sold for $25 more than the price
in Iowa. OF goods imported from the
United States | noticed a Winchester
pump gun at SO more than the Brook
Ign price; a Parker shotgun at $40
more than the Brooklyn price. Some
shirts which | recognized as a we'll
known American dollar brand sold at
dollar and a half; a 25-Cent bottle
of listerine sold at 80 cents; a spec.
tacle case, of exactly the same make
as one sold me in Brooklyn for 20
cents, but which cost me 80 cents in
Canada. | think wooden goods are
cheaper there, although it is almost
impossible for a man not an expert
to make a fair comparison. Flour Is
cheaper; cotton and silk goods dearer.
Railroad fare is three cents a mile.
Soft drinks at their fairs. 10 cents a
glass, and no coin of less value than
a five cent piece is in use in western
Canada +"

cHAUTAUQUA ON SUNDAY.

Abba Republican,: There is a di'
versified opinion as to charging ad-
mission at the next Chautauqua on
Sunday. Over at Oskaloosa they
paid out $3.50 for program and the
collection amounted to a little over
S31. That is not good business sense,
At Washington they had a free Sun
day, but hired no talent and the col
lection was SIS. At the next Abba
Chautauqua the very best of talent
will be secured for Sunday and an ad'
mission will be charged. The latter
course is the one that is being gener'
ally adopted by the Chautauqua as
sociations over the state, and seems
to be the best plan to get money to
continue the work from year to year
The Chautauqua is held for the good
of the entire community and there is
no reason why an admission should
not be charged on that day. There
are many people who will attend a
service in a church and readily pay
so cents for Sunday service to hear
some eminent preacher. Why should
not such service be held in the audi
forum at the city park as well as in
the churches? Under the prices
charged here a Sunday sermon would
not cost over % cents, or a season
ticket would be good for the day.

the importers themselves the import.
ance of giving to the public a more
detailed statement of the various ar,
ticles forming this great mass of mer-
chandise, and through the co-opera-
ton thus obtained is now, for the first
time, presenting an analysis of this
important group of imports, so far as
relates to cotton laces, which form
about four-fifths of the total. The
result of the first months analysis in.
dictates that the group is pretty even
ly divided between laces and embroi
deries. The July imports OF this
great general group of cotton 'laces,
embroideries,e etc.," amounted in value
to over 21s million dollars for the
single month, of which embroideries
were / million, laces and lace arti'
cles IN million, lace window curtains
hundred thousand dollars, nets and
MEETINGS 14O thousand, while hand.
made laces amounted to but 30 thous'
and dollars.
Ostrich feathers are new item in
the import statement. Formerly all
feathers were included under one
general heading of feathers, natural
and artificial" Now ostrich feathers
are shown separately and their i'm
ports in the month of July amounted
to 225 thousand dollars, suggesting
that the amount of money sent out OF
the country in the purchase of ostrich
feathers approXimates million dol
lars year, while the price which the
consumer pays for them is of course
greatly in excess of that sum.
Pocket knives, raZors, and scissors
are now enumerated in the list of ar
ticles imported, the number of pen or
pocket knives imported in July
amounting to over l million with a
value of So thousand dollars, indicat-
ing an average wholesale import
value of little more than cents
each.
Benzine, gasoline and naphtha, now
so much in use for automobiles, mo-
tor boats and flying machines, form
a considerable item in the imports,
despite the fact that this country is
by far the largest producer of miner
al oils. The quantity imported under
this general title of "benzine, gaso-
line and naphtha" amounted to IN
million gallons in the single month of
July.
Cinnamon imported under the title
of "cassia" and ginger are also new
items in the import list, having for
merly been included under the gener-
al title of "all other Spices" In the
single month of July the quantity of
cinnamon imported amounted to ATS
thousand pounds valued at 40 thous-
and dollars, and of ginger root, not
preserved, 42O thousand pounds val
ued at 26 thousand dollars.

IMPORTS AND EXPORTS.

Some new and interesting facts
about the foreign commerce of the
country are shown by the July state,
ment of the Bureau of Statistics, De
partment of Commerce and Labor
That bureau recently added a large
number of items to its list of articles
to be included in it's monthly report
of imports and exports, and the July
report is the first to show the move,
ment of these newly enumerated ar
ticles.
One of the new statements, and an
especially interesting one because OF
the magnitude of the figures with
which il deals, is an analysis of the
great group Of imports formerly class.
ed under the general title of 'laces,
edgings, embroideries, neck rulings
ruchings, trimmings, tuckings, lace
window curtains, and other similar
tamboured articles" The imports
under this general heading are larger
than is generally realized and amount
to between 40 and so million dollars
a year, having in fact aggregated
more than 400 million dollars in the
past dozen years. Formerly all these
hundreds of millions of dollars worth
of imports were grouped under the
single title, ''laces, embroideries. etc, .
the importers holding that this de-
scription was sufficient to comply with
the law. Recently. however, the Blu
reau of Statistics urged upon the col.

ponds largely upon the situation. II
the grounds are ample and conven
lent and there can be hundreds OF

might be to add a few days. If the
arrangements for camping are not
satisfactory, perhaps seven days will
prove plenty. OF course the attrac
tions are to be considered, and il
there is dearth of first-class talent
it will probably be found difficult to
keep up the interest for nine days.
