CHANGES IN IMPORTS AND EXPORTS
-l9OO-l9ll.

The marked change which has charac-
terized trade currents into and out of the
United States in recent years is illus
trated by figures showing the relative
imports and exports of representative
articles of foreign commerce in the cal
endar year 1900 compared with 1910,
prepared by the Bureau of Statistics.
Department of Commerce and Labor.
They show much greater growth in
exports than in imports, the latter in
many instances being in 1911 but little
above, and In. some instances. actually
below the figures of dozen years earlier.
Foodstuffs offer the most important ex-
ception to the general rule of increased
exports and decreased or but slightly in
creased imports. Copper, while showing
increased exports, also shows increased
imports during the period under review.
Cement, for example, showed in 1900
imports aggregating 955 million pounds,
compared with exports of but 38 million.
BY 1911 imports had fallen to less than
100 million, while exports had risen to
1,l9l million pounds. In 1900 the coun-
try imported 1876 million and exported
less than one million pounds of tin plate.
In 1911 imports had decreased to so mil
lion, while exports had advanced to 1873
million pounds. This is typical of the
general group Of iron and steel manufac-
lures. In the period from 1900 to 1911,
imports under that head only increased
from 20 million to 20 million dollars,
while exports increased from 100 million
to $50 million dollars, gain of but nine
million in imports and of 12O million in
exports. Of leather and manufactures
thereof imports have remained practi-
cally stationary since 1900, while exports
have grown from q million to 81 million
dollars.
Of copper pigs, bars and ingots, there
is large movement, both into and out of
the country, the balance of trade being
on the export side. Imports grew from
million pounds in 1900 to z66 million in
1911, and exports from 1888 million to 1877
million pounds, the gains in twelve years
having been 1877 million in imports and
449 million in exports. These heavy i'm
ports of copper into the United States,
the worlds largest producer of that arti-
Gle, are due chiefly to our superior facili-
ties for smelling and refining.
The increased domestic consumption of
meat and dairy products and the de-
creasing surplus available for exporta-
ton are suggested by comparison of
imports and exports in 1911 with those
of 1900. During this twelve year period
imports of this class of articles increased
from million to IA million dollars, while
exports decreased from 1877 million to 100
million dollars.

MEN AT WASHINGTON

Mrs. L. M. N. Stevens has returned
from Washington, where she attended
the hearings on the bill to prevent the
shipping of liquor into "dry' territory.
In speaking of the matter she said:
I'VE had the pleasure of seeing our
own honored Congressman, Mr.. Asher
C. Kinds. Senator Gardner was not in
when we called on him, but we had re-
ceived letter from him assuring US that
he should vote for the Interstate Com
merce bill We had very satisfactory
talk with Mr.. Gardner's secretary, who
is strong temperance man, and he told
US he did all that he could to make No
votes last summer. There is a goodly
number of prohibition Democrats in
Maine and the influence of the Southern
prohibition Democrats is very strong on
our side of the great temperance prob
lem. Champ Clark, speaker of the House,
is total abstainer, and Mrs. Clark is in
hearty sympathy with us. She attended
our Worlds W. C. T. U. convention at
GLASGOW sin. 1910, and we greatly enjoyed
seeing her again, and this time in her
Washington home at delightful recep-
ton. Of course we might enumerate
lot of prominent Republicans, too, who
are friendly to the temperance cause.
The fact that President Taft is a total
abstainer is we'll known and the influence
of the Taft fau lily in Washington is on
the right side of moral questions, benefi-
cent and uplifting.

SUFFERED TORTURES
WITH ECZEMA
Spots Burst and Ran All Over Face.
Sore and InAamed, Had to Tie
Mittens on Hands. Cuticura Soap
and Ointment Cured Completely.

Freeland, Md" Baby's eczema started
in little spots and would burst and run all
over his face and wherever the water would
touch his face. 1t would make another sore.
Pimples would break out and make his face
sore and infamed, and he was very cross
and fretful. 1t was awful. He suffered
tortures from it. and we had to tie mittens
on his hands to keep him from scratching.
We tried everything VIC knew and had him
to three doctors, but they could not help
him. A friend of mine told me of the Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment and / went to a
drug store and bought them. When we
would battle his face with the Cuticura Soap
and apply the Cuticura Ointment, he would
be much better. He would wake I'D in the
nights and cry with his face and we would
put on some of the Cuticura Ointment and
then he would rest all right. By keeping
this up every day his face began to heal and
then got well altogether. He suffered Just
about year before we used the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment and they have cured
him completely of the eczema We use the
Cuticura Soap all the time and there is no
better soap for the skin (Signed) Mrs
Harry Wright, Mar. 81, 1912.
Cuticura Soap and Ointment do so much
FOR pimpleS, backheads, red. rough skins
itching, scaly scalps, dandruff, dry, thin and
falling hair, chapped hands and shapeess
nails, that it is almost criminal not to use
them. Sold everywhere. Liberal sample Of

Why NOT GET
A GUARANTEE?
Every Article of Merit that is Sold
These Days is Guaranteed-No
Guarantee Often Means
Poor Quality.

There is very little excuse for any
person to claim that he has been
'stung" on purchase. Fifty years
ago the buyer had to look out, but to-
day it is unusual to find a merchant
who will not return the money for any
article that has proved unsatisfactory.
An excellent example Of this kind of
fair dealing is shown BY the clean cut
guarantee that sall Atlanta druggists
give on Dodson's Liver Tone.
These people tell US that any person
who pays soc for bottle of Dodson's
Liver Tone and does. not find it gentle
and most pleasant liver .onic, harmless
but a sure relieVer of constipation and
a. perfect substitute for calomeI, cal,
get his money back just as quick as
they can get it out of the money draw
er.
Dodsons Liver Tone has practically
taken the place Of calomel. 1t is abso-
lutely harmless sure in it's action and
causes no restriction Of habit or diet
No wonder the drug people are glad to
guarantee 1t, while other remedies that
initiate the claims of Dodson's Liver
Tone are not guaranteed at all. (Advt.)
