NO AMERICAN BOATS

: The following is an extract from
report of Consul General Dubois, pup,
lished in the Daily Consular ana
Trade Report:
All cargoes from Singapore ana
MALAYSIA to the United States must
he shipped in foreign bottoms, as not
I merchant ship carrying the Amerl'
ran fiae enters these waters IN
tvelyemonth. The uncertain and m
frequent direct sailings of the United
states from this port and vice versa
are a detriment to American trade.
The connections between other coun-
tries are good. There are many
english lines, several German, one
French. one Spanish, one Russian, one
Italian. and two Japanese OK lmpor-
lance which do large business under
regular sailings. During 1910, 50 yes
aeis az the British lines went to Ne"
York from Singapore, Is to New YORK
and Boston, 3 to San Francisco, TO
Manila. seattle. and Tacoma, 2 to New
Orleans to the Delaware break
water: under the French flag went TO
San Francisco: under the German flag
went to New York.
Consul General Randall says. re-
sanding trade between the United
States and Turkey:
The most urgent need OF the situa-
ton. 30 far as the extension OF Amerl-
can trade with Turkey is concerned, IS
direct steamship facilities. Steamers

Smyrna and Constantinople, have dis

Involving delays, damage. and discon-

Perhaps even more injurious than
the damage to goods and consequent
loss Is the delay caused by transshlp-,
ment. Instances Of American goods

az numerous as they are, taking
another instance, at Hamburg. The,
arrangement entered into in 1889 be-
tween the Deutsch Levante LIME and
the Royal Prussian and Saxon rail-
roads now includes practically all the
German railroads. A tarih has Deen
adopted quoting through rates from
any German railway station to any
Turkish port, and through bills OF
iading are similarly issued. No
country in the world has inaugurated
a more perfect system of cooperation
between railways and steamships for
the conquest Of any particular foreign
market.
When it is considered that by start
ing a direct line the United States
might ship goods to the Levant under
fully as happy auspices as those which
favor shipments from Liverpool, Ham
burg, and Antwerp, the present con-
dition OF affairs presents itself as a
grave reflection upon American bust
ness sagacity.
During the last few weeks negotia-
tions have been initiated by this Office
with foreign steamship companies
represented in Constantinople with a
view to obtaining direct mor.hly
service between New York and these
portg. Undoubtedly the American
chamber of commerce for Turkey in
Constantinople will lend hand to the
successful contamination of such
plans.

THE NEBRASKA SITUATION.

The action of the Nebraska state
convention in overwhelmingly endors-
ing the administration OF Taft, re-
marks the Waterloo Courier, shows
that the insurgent states of the west
have not gone wild in opposition to the
president on account of his support OF
the reciprocity pact. The farm ele-
ment in the convention was small,
evidence that no interest was taken
by the farmers on whether Taft was
Endorsed or repudiated There was
hardly anything for the Nebraska
convention to do, but to indorse the
president and titular leader Of the ma.
tional party. TO have overthrown him
for LaFollette would have been Ill.

have asserted that he has discovered
that he has talked too much. They
have suspected that the magazine for
which he writes prefers to have ex-
elusive rights to his utterances. And
some have been so unkind as to de-
clare that the colonel has observed
that the insurgent movement Is with
out a leader and that he intends to
reveal himself at the proper time as
the one man to give the movement life
and renewed energy. That Is list
of three guesses. Any one else Is free

A NATION that can show the results
our nation shows needs offer no apology
for the wisdom of it's laws. If results
are any criterion of cause, then it must
be admitted that the cause which pro-
duced such results as we see on every
hand must be as near ideal as human
Judgment can make it. Who will guar
antee that the proposed changes in
taxation, in governmental regulation,
in the method of enacting laws, nom
mating and electing public officers will
produce an era of prosperity compar-
able to that of the past twenty years?
No responsible citizen would undertake
it. Then why change that which has
proven safe and useful for that which
is purely theoretical? In other words,
why hoe up all the cabbage in order to
kill few pig weeds? Only the ire
sponsibIe office hunter would suggest
doing this, and he would recommend it
only because through agitation he hopes
to quarter himself in public office. =

Paper Bag Cooking.

Many women have been experiment.
ing lately with a new method of cook
ing, that is, with paper bags.
Paper bag cooking Is a new and Won
derful system that comes to US from
Europe. The advantages are so appar-
ent that cooks and housewives are tax
ing it up over all the country. Meats,
breads, vegetables and fruits are en-
cased in alright paper bags made of a
specially treated cellulose paper.
These bags Of food are then placed
on the oven shelves many bags of diff
ferent sorts of food all at once. Then
they are left untouched until done.
Following the adoption of paper bag
cooking by thousands of London chefs
and housewives, the American consul
general deemed the matter of sufficient
Importance to cover it in detailed re-
port to the United States government.
Following are extracts from the report:
under the new system cleanliness
is assured. The nutritive properties
are maintained. while there is no waste.
"A considerable saving is effected
through the use of the paper bag. All
roasted meats cooked in the ordinary
way lose, it is stated, about four ounces
to each pound There is also a loss
when meats are boiled and percepti-
ble, though smaller, loss when they are
praised. In paper bag cookery the
broad claim is put forth that there is
practically no loss.
The saving in fuel amounts, accord
ing to the estimates of the advocates
of paper bag cookery, to at least 40 per
cent.
Following are some of the advan-
tages claimed for paper bag cooking:
Retains food value; less loss in
weight of foods-no loss of juices;
method wholesome, because sanitary;
retains all fiavors; requires less season
ing; no mingling of favors in oven
cooking especially baking) more even;
requires less attention from cook; nc
SCATTERING of fat while roasting meat
few utensils to clean; foods ordinarily
requiring different temperatures can be
cooked at same time with one temper
ature; no special attention or oven reg
ulation required during entire cooking
process; enables a novice to cook many
dishes as well as an expert; and no
only saves time, but fuel as well.

Horse Breeders to Organize.

Rock county horse breeders are con
sidering the organization of horse
breeders club. Dr. A. S. Alexander
of the College of Agriculture of the
University Of Wisconsin has been in
strumental in starting horse breeders
club in Dane county and the interest
and benefits from this have been Sc
great that some Rock county breeders
believe it is time to organize for better
horses. A meeting will be held at
GAINESVILLE, Friday, November "a, at
p. M. in the Caledonia society rooms.
DR.. Alexander will be present to take
part in the discussion and explain the
objects of county horse breeders clubs.
In Dane county the initiation fee is
only Is cents and over 125 have joined
the club already, although it was or
ganized only few months ago.
In the evening of November "a DIR.
Alexander will give his stereopticor
lecture, Country Life in Scotland, " in
the Presbyterian church at GAINESVILLE.

There is no diminution in the inter
est in shaded tobacco. A fact which
has not heretofore been pointed out is
that next years shaded tobacco acre
age in the Connecticut valley will in all
probability exceed that of Georgia and
Florida combined, which this year rails
ed $500 acres, according to the Depart
ment of Agriculture figures.
The rains last week enabled growers
to take down more tobacco. Many
growers. have their entire crops all
down and will deliver them Immediate
ly. Notwithstanding the frequent rains
a large amount OF tobacco remains on
the poles.
Buyers are picking up good crops and
prices are being firmly held by grow
ers, who realize that shortage of de-
sirable New England tobacco is inevi-
table.
The American Tobacco Co. and the
American Cigar Co. have bought up

Nearly three-quarters of the SuffieId

Report on Cholera Experiments.

The university authorities, who have
been conducting experiments in Rock
county with hog cholera vaccine, report
that three healthy pigs left in a pen
where the infection existed, two of
which were vaccinated, the unvaccin-
ated pig has since died while the two
receiving treatment are in perfect
health. Besides demonstrating the
value of the protective serum, this lot
is instructive in that the dead hog was
not injected with the virus disease
producing blood as were the other two.
Instead it became infected from the
hogs which were dying from the disease
"a natural or pen infection.
The experiment conducted at the
Northwestern yards also brought about
similar results. These experiments
show conclusively the efficacy of the
serum if administered before the di-
sease has appeared in the herd. 1t is a
preventative and not a curative, as
there is no remedy for the disease after
it is caught, as far as is known. In the
opinion of the authorities at the uni
versity this is the best and also cheap
est form of insurance against hog chol-
era obtainable

Stammerinq.

Stammering is due to a peculiarly
nervous temperament, and only very
sympathetic treatment can effect
cure. Stammering in a child should
receive immediate attention, and the
first thing to be done is to improve
the little ones health by means of
plenty of sleep, fresh air and good
food. Every day he should take deep
breathing exercises in the open air.
These deep, steady inspirations
strengthen the muscles of the throat
and counterfeit a spasmodic habit of
breathing. Notice should be taken of
the sounds which the little stammerer
has most trouble with, and sentences
containing these sounds should be
composed for him to repeat each day
very slowly and clearly. He should
also be asked to read aloud every day.
This exercise should be omitted when
ever he seems overexcited or run
down in health, and it goes without
saving that he should never be scold-
ed or laughed at.-New York Tribune.
