.SCHWAB IN FAVOR
OF RECIPROCITY

New York, Feb. 1.-THE subject of
greatest interest now before the world
at large" said Charles M. Schwab
today, as he stepped from the gang
plank of the Mauretania. ''is the pend
Ing reciprocity agreement between the
United States and Canada. 1t is being
watched more closely abroad than the
coming decisions Of the supreme court
In the Standard Oil and Tobacco cases.
Personally, believe in reciprocity"
he continued. There is no real
boundary between the two countries,
nothing but an imaginary line. And
there is no reason why two nations
so situated should not have closer
trade relations. Annexation? Every
sensible man knows that isn't seri-
ously considered by Americans, nor in
my experience is it so considered In
England"

RESULT OF DR.. ABsoTT's IN
vEsTIcATloN is OF SPECIAL
IMPORTANCE FROM FACT THAT.
BILL TO PREVENT SALE OF
SNUFF is BEFORE LEGISLATURE.

Grand Forks, N. D., Feb. I7.--For the
first time, and after patient and I'm
successful effort by many chemists, il
has just been established by official
authority that SNUFF, of which mil
lions of pounds are chewed annually,
is drugged with cocaine. The expert
ments which led to the separation OF
the drug have just been completed by
DR.. @. A. Abbott, head of the chemis.
try department of the University of
North Dakota.
Public attention was recently called
by DIR. L4add of the snuff chewing

Berous character Of the SNUFF chewing
habit and its growth especially among
Ianoring men and village boys. Or.
Laid stated in his address at Grand

distribution Of snuff, and this distribu
ton has gone on freely, through the
mails and through the various chan

Bill on Subject.
Early in the present session of tho
legislature Senator LaMoure intro
duced bill prohibiting the sale OF
SNUFF in North Dakota. At the re-
guest of senate committee having
this bill in charge, DR.. Abbott, of the
university chemistry department, was
requested to analyze sample OF snuff,
end to use his best effort to ascertain.
Il In reality x contained cocaine 1r
any similar poison. DR.. Abbott agreed
to use every effort, but he warned the
committee that the process might re-
quire considerable time, and he could
make no confident prediction of sue
cess. Discarding the methods which
had previously been unsuccessful. he
devised method entirely new. so far
as he knows, and he was rewarded by
finding as result Of his analysis, CO.
caine actually present in appreciable
quantities, and to be able to verify his
results by all the tests that are usual
ly applied, including those of a ply
siological nature. In the latter he
found the muscular paralysis which is
one Of the typical results of the use
OF this drug, and while he is not at
this time giving any public descrip-
tion of the method used in his analy.
sis, he announces without any qualih-
cation that the snuff analysed does
contain cocaine in sufficient quantities
to be identified and separated, suffl-
Gent to create the cocaine habit, AMI
sufficient to exert a highly injurious
influence on the system OF the SNUFF
chewer.

Parents and children,s Faults.

Parents ought to collaborate with
teachers in helping to develop the
best in their children, and conse-
quently to eliminate the worst. In.
stead of this view of the matter we
(says Ella Wheeler Wilcox find par
,ents taking a stand against the
teacher who tries to talk Of the faults
of their children and discuss rem
edy, and all the work which the teach
er has hoped to do in character build
ing falls to the ground under the
lifted hammer of the unwise and
belligerent parent, who insists that
my child must be without faults,
and that the teacher who sees faults
is an enemy, not friend. It is sell
dom, indeed, that man or woman
occupying the position of a teacher is
prejudiced or has personal or selfish
motives for criticising a child.

| of fruit. or vegetables, and like the
doctor, the more patience, We have
the more money we make.
Soil which has grown vegetables IS
generally sufficiently fertile to pro
duce a, large yield OF strawberries
Soil in which potatoes have been
growniis ideal.
Strawberries and vegetables can be
sold from the same wagon at the
same time, and IL you have berries
of high quality it will aid you in sell
ing your vegetables. because fancy
grocers always are on the lookout for
fruit of the choicest quality The
same is true of the commission mer-
chant, and IL you sell to private fami-
lies you will find the housekeeper
wants the best.
To the gardener who has neve.
grown strawberries, but would like to
com bine them with his vegetable bust
ness, let me suggest that you begin In
small way, and increase your acre
age as experience and local condi-
tons may justify you In doing.
Many commercial gardeners know
from experience that Strawberries
make a profitable addition to their
vegetable business. No other crop
with which have ever had any expe-
rience will yield as many dollars per
acre, and do it in so short a time, as
strawberries. 1t Is not an uncommon
thing to get reports from growers who
are realizing anywhere from $500,
$500, $1,000 to $1,000 per acre each
year from their strawberries. Reports
of the larger quantities generally
come from strawberry growers who
have the advantage of long fruiting
season. Last winter, while studying
the conditions and possibilities of
strawberry growing in the SOUTH,
met men in southern Texas who told
me that their strawberries made them
from $500 to 81 900 per acre each
| year. On the Pacific coast and in the
| inter-mountain states, met men who
were doing even better than this.
In Michigan, my own state, many
growers are realizing from $500 to
$500; in Minnesota some growers re-
port equal results, and the same is
true in the east In fact, in all states,
the growers who are following inten-
sive: methods are making splendid
showings and all seem to be more
than satisfied. - ~

Trees which have been more than

the case of trees--over three Or four
years of age all sprouts may be per-

cases all but the most thrifty may be
