GROWTH OF COMMERCE.

The great manufacturing nations,
the great producing nations, such as
Great Britain, Germany, France and
the United States combined, have not
more than one-sixth the population OF
the globe, and it can be said with ap-
proximate accuracy that the other five
siXths are to very great degree
their customers, says the Cincinnati
Enquirer. Fully one-half of the worlds
population are as yet only fractionally
supplied with articles necessary for
civilized existence. The 100000 of
people to the south of us on the Amer
lean continent when fully employed.
as some day they will be, in produc-
Ing from their lands, their forests and
their mines, will make our manufac1
turers wealthy through their demands
for what our own industrial districts
can output. Commerce is pushing its
way up every great and small river OF
South America, it is crossing the
Andes over a thousand trails, and
where but one railway across South
America from ocean to ocean now
runs, within a score of years there
will be several other lines from the
Pacific to the navigable waters of tho
great rivers Of the north and the CEN
ter The worlds commerce Of today,
huge as it seems, is small compared
with that Of the future either in tom
mage or In value.

Discussion of women's manners in
public will not down Sometimes 1t
IS women who complain of being jolt
ed in crowds or Of being compelled to
stand in street cars while men occupy
the seats, says the Boston Globe.
Sometimes it is men who murmur be-
cause some women in public often
seen to ignore the fundamental rules
of good breeding. 1t Is noticeable that
most of the criticisms of women's pub
lie manners are evoked by the con-
duct well-dressed or stylish andNap-
parently well-to-do woman, seldom by
the bearing of working women or
girls. The woman who puts down a
$40 or a $40 bill at the ticket office
window holds up a frightening line
while she counts her change and
glares furiously if a man puts down
his nickel before she has picked up
the last bit of change; the woman
who never moves along in car to
make room for another woman; the
woman who deliberately takes up
as much time as possible at the store
counter while other customers are
waiting these women commonly look
like persons of refinement No doubt
they are kind-hearted and gentleman
nered in their own homes and in their
own circles.

BRYAN IS FLAYED
UNDERWOOD IN SPEECH SAYS
NEBRASkAN is FALSIFlER.
Charge of Delaying Iron and Steel
Tariff Revision by Committee
Is Cause of Attack.

Washington.-In one of the most re-
markable scenes in the house since
the beginning of the extra session
Representative Oscar w. Underwood
of Alabama, the Democratic leader of
the house, fired a verbal broadside at
William Jennings Bryan for the lat
ters criticism of his position on the
extension of the tariff revision pro-
gram. Mr.. Underwood's Democratic
colleagues wildly cheered him as he
made his vitrolic attack upon the
Nebraskan.
Excoriating the three times candi-
date of the Democratic party for pres
idential honors, Leader Underwood de-
nounced Mr. Bryan's statements as
false, defended his (Underwood's) at
titude as to revision of the iron and
steel tariff schedules, and said Bryan
has placed upon every Democratic
member implications unfounded in
fact.
He called on his colleagues of the
ways and means committee for cor
roboration of his attitude.
MI. OuueTWOOu was Dd ;heu up III d
similarly striking speech by Repre-
sentative Kitchin of North Carolina,
long devoted friend of Bryan. Mr..
Kitchin expressed surprise that any
Democrat should so malign Mr.. Under
wood and the party, and through all
this arraignment not voice was
raised in defense Of Bryan.
1t all came about from a published
interview, which purported to be "au-
thorized" by Mr.. Bryan, declaring it
was time Democratic Leader Under
wood was "unmasked."

STRONGER THAN MEAT
A Judges Opinion of Grape-Nuts.

A gentleman who has acquired 1u-
dicial turn of mind from experience
on the bench out in the Sunfower
State writes a carefully considered
opinion as to the value Of Grape-Nuts
as food. He says:
"For the past 5 years Grape-Nuts
has been prominent feature IN our
bill of fare.
"The crisp food with the delicious
nutty flavor has become an lndls-
pensable necessity in my famllys
everyday life.
at has proved to be most healthful
and beneficial, and has enabled us to
practically abolish pastry and pies
from our table, for the children prefer
Crane-Nuts. and do not crave rich and
unwholesome food.
"Grape-Nuts keeps us all in perfect
nhysical condition-as preventive OF
disease it is beyond value. have been
particularly impressed by the benef-
cia1 effects Of Grape-Nuts when used
by ladies who are troubled with face
blemishes, skin eruptions, etc. 1t
clears up the complexion wonderfully.
"As to its nutritive qualities, my ex.
perience is that one small dish OF
Grape-Nuts is superior to pound OF
meat for breakfast, which is an impor.
tant consideration for anyone. 1t sat
isles the appetite and strengthens tns
power Of resisting fatigue, while its
use involves none of the disagreeable
consequences that sometimes follow

NATIONS FOR PEACE
ARBITRATION TREATIES ARE
SIGNED BY UNITED STATES,
FRANCE AND BRITAIN.
PRESIDENT. TAFT is VICTOR
Compacts Result From Suggestion of
United States Chief Executive
Made in Speech Made in Wash
ington Last December.

Washington.-Thre of the great
world powers have taken long
stride toward the goal of universal
peace. Arbitration treaties binding
the United States and Great Britain
and France, respectively, were signed
at the White House in Washington in
the presence Of notable gathering
of officials and at the ministry of for
eign affairs in Paris.
Secretary of State Knox signed the
two treaties in behalf of the United
States. James Bryce, the British am
bassador, affixed his signature in be-
half of Great Britain, thus completing
the Anglo-American pact, with the ex.
ception of ratification by the senate.
The French treaty was signed in
duplicate in Paris six hours earlier
by J. ]. Jusserand, ambassador to the
United States.
AS soon as the copies of the two
treaties had been signed President
Taft affixed his signature to two
measures for transmittal to the senate.
1t was thought at first that an ex-
change on the Franco-American treaty
would be necessary before it could
be sent to the senate. Later on off,
cial notification from Paris of the
signature there, President Taft de-
cided to rush the treaties at once to
the senate in the hope of securing &C
ton at this session.
The general features Of the new
treaties are:
All differences internationally justi
ciable shall be submitted to The
Hague, unless by special agreement
some other tribunal is created or Sc
| lected.
Differences that either country
thinks are not justicable shall be re-
ferred to a commission of inquiry
| composed of nationals of the two gov
ernments, empowered to make recon-
mendations for their settlement,
| Should the commission decide that
the dispute should be arbitrated, such
| decision will be binding
Before arbitration is resorted to-
| even in cases where both countries
agree that the difference is suscep
tible of arbitration, the commission OF
| inquiry shall investigate the dispute
with view of recommending a settle
ment without arbitration.
The commission, at request of either
| government, will delay it's findings one
year to give an opportunity for diplo
matte settlement.
The convention grew directly out OF
President Taft's speech in Washing
ton, December IS last, before the
American Society for the Judicial Set
Element of international disputes, in
which he said:
IF now we can negotiate and put
through positive agreement with
some great nation to abide the adj
| judication of an international arbitral
court in every issue which cannot be
settled by negotiation, no matter what
it involves, whether honor, territory
| or money, we shall have made a long
step forward by demonstrating that il
| is possible for two nations at least
| to establish, as between them, the
same system of due process of law
that exists between individuals under
a government"

Did Felix have rats? ! should say

And the cat cleaned 'em out! No;

rats were as plentiful as ever. Felix
couldn't understand it until one even
ing he concealed himself in the base
ment to watch the cat. About p.
M, as the cat sat with her eye on a

to the old cat, kissed her good night,
and then returned to the hole. After
that Felix kicked the cat out Of the
