NEW YORK STATE CAN
 NOT TOUGH NIAGARA.

The recommendation of New York States Conservation Committee that laws be passed permitting the State to develop its own water powers. has nothing to do with Niagara Falls. Niagara River being a boundary stream, the Falls have been taken under the protection of the National Government and the beauty of the spectacle has been preserved for all time by means of a treaty with Can ada.
 It is to interior lakes and streams that the recomm endation of the Con servation Committee relates. Aside from Niagara there is vast unused water power in New York State, es- peciaIly in the Adirondacks. The conversationists want the State to render this power available lat such req sonabIe charges as will yield public revenue and stimulate the de- Velopment of industries"
 Permanent protection to Niagara Falls as a scenic spectacle is assured by the treaty between the United States and Canada. The Waterways Treaty, as it is called, was concluded after exhaustive tests by engineers and places a definite limit upon the quantity of water that can be divert ed for power purposes. It was ascer- tained that the diversion of this quan- tity, which is a small proportion of the total flow, did not make a differ ence that could be detected in the appearance of the Falls.

MAJOR BUTT DIETING
Poisoned by Rich Viands, Eats Only
 the PIainest of Food

Washington, Feb. 1-"Food, flood, everywhere and not a bite to eat.' This is the vail of Major "Archie' Butt military aide to President Taft. His is the saddest plight of all Wash ington diners-because of an unruly stomach, backed up by a doctors or ders.
 Banquets, dinners, luncheons, teas and feedins ''fests'' galore, Ma+or Butt must attend-and not eat a bite or drink a drOp- It is his business, as social attendant of the President, to attend the functiors, sometimes three or four in an evening.
 With all the rare viands and wines CT. He can't take a mouthful of the grub" nor drink drop of the ancient vintages. Doctors orders.
 For Major Butt has been sick and is on a diet. It is a most aus+ere diet, too, and the Major is sticking to it vigorously. Because of his illness from a nervous affection caused by poison resulting from rich viands, Ma jor Butt eats only the plainest of food. Here is the entire Butt b'l' of fare:
 White meat of chicken, without skin; dryest of dry toast; potatoes without butter; no meat; no bevera ges except water: a few vegetables. without but ter: poached eggs, without condi- ments.
 As a result the Major does not ban ouet at banquets. His menu is not in cluded at most Washington functions.

REVERSAL OF THE RULE

Paris. Feb. 1-Dr. Louis Cruveilbiers $ investigation of infant mortality, the report of which has just been pub Iished here, shows that country babies from birth to one year give higher death-rate than city babies during the same period.
 Along the Seine where factories Of all sorts abound and most of the population are engaged in mills, th= death-Tate per 100 is 2S.5S in Ardeche, turing territory, the rate is 24 65; while in a strictly agricultural district, in the Alps, the rate is 25.50 per 100. These statistics are regarded as complete reversal of what had hither- to been considered the rule.

PROOF AGAINST BREAKING Glass for Use In Automobile Wind
 ShieIds-Severe Tests Made

"A new glass for wind shields has re- centiy been produced by a firm of French glass-makers which is intend ed to be proof against breaking" said Charles F. Splitdorf, head of the Split dorf laboratory. ''So many cases of injury by broken glass have been re- ported that a special effort has been made to end this particular form of accident
 'The glass now produced is made by a secret process, but the makers admit that thickness and care in it's manufacture are the principal essen tials. It is made about three-quar- ters of an inch thick, and, on test has resisted the blow of a ten pound iron disc thrown against it from dis tances ranging from ten feet to twen- ty feet. hoe four-tenths of an inch in diameter at the outer surface was made by the impact from the greater distance.
 'The same blow would have shat tered ordinary plate glass complete ly''

TWENTY-FIVE CENT APPLES.
Fruit That Sells in Big Markets at
 $45O to S2O a BusheL

There are lots of stories told of how
 apples sell in the big cities for 10 i cents and 15 cents each, and even 25
 cents each. But most, of us have wait i ed to be shown These prices sound | impossible to the man who gets only 1 40 cents bushel for his crop. | There's no doubt about it. though.
 If you go to any of the big cities, like 1 New York, and go through the down 1 town streets, you pass a hundred fruit stores where apples are offered for | buying them too. When you get real homesick and apple hungry we wouldn't be at all surprised if. you, too, would fork over your dime or your quarter for one of the big red fellows
 On investigation it is found that
 most of these high-priced apples. come
 from the Northwest-from California
 Colorado, Idaho. Montana, Oregon and
 Washington They're mostly the same
 old varieties, however, that we grow
 here in this section. The only differ
 ence seems to be that they are larger
 and cleaner and better cOlored than
 the average run of fruit produced.
 Yet the East is the natural apple
 country. Those fine looking Western
 apples lack the flavor Of the Eastern
 hillside product. The trick of getting
 the high prices seems to lie, more
 than in anything else. in offering per feet fruit. It must be f1awless in shape and color. free from blemishes, and must be graded carefully A great deal of capital is made of the attractive boxes. labels, etc, used in packing these western apples.
 Apples grown in the West are coarse dry and puIpy, even though highly coIorei and big Eastern big apples are fine, delectable and juicy; and if they are grown right that is, if the trees are of the right varieties for the situation, are properly pruned, spray cd and fed, and the fruit trimmed, the aCnIes will be highly-cOIOred, fine and 1 flaw, ,ess, inside and out. If Ihe Eeo- | ,,lt in this sectIOn would only wake up | to what is possible on their OWL l farms, they could produce apples that ! will be worth a quarter apiece to the | aDDrecis tive city folks who want h:SE l .y-colored fruit without spot or q l rlern ish
 apple from Harrison's Nurseries, of ! Berlin Md. that is just as fine out side as any apples that ever came across the Rocky Mountains, while in- s'de it has western apples beat three thousand miles in taste and color and texture We wish some of those fel- lows who have farms around here with good soil and good, app'e. locations would eat one like it. It would show them what is required to command the dimes and quarters of the city folks IonS after Christmas, and we believe it would arouse new Gnlbi- lions for ma king the old farm WOu- derful money-nna aking machine.

"JEW AND CHINAMAN.,'

The Chinaman, as the Jew, has dis
 covered that where wealth Is there
 also is power, and he is rapidly becom-
 ing wealthy, so that the position of
 fairs is being threatened by the Chi
 naman. What cares he for import
 taxes, deprivation of voting, social
 disabilities, and all the other restric-
 tions to which he is subjected? He
 knows that dollars shall sweep them
 all away whenever he elects to exert
 their influence When he sees Jews (and others) with seats in the Brit ish House of Lords that within re- cent years have been bought in every since but the technical sense; when he knows that to locate a provincial capital a legislature is bought in ev- cry sense, including the technical sense but the technical sense; when treal grafter will prefer dollar from a Canadian-when he knows and re- members these things (and he does know and remember them), he smiles at acts of Parliament to impede his movements and at the thousand and one petty annoyances concocted for his discomfort as he would at the eff forts of Mrs Burlington to set back the Pacific with a mop. The China man Is the coming Jew.
 If Canadians or Americans do not desire Chinamen within the'r gates, there is a method of excluding them less insulting than that which now Chinamen out of Canada or any other country. let no one employ them eith- CT here or elsewhere, and they will not come here or go there: If they are employed in any country, they are needed in that country. Chinamen will not come to Canada unless Ca nadians employ them. If, too, Cana dians desire to employ them and are prevented from or harassed in em- ploying them, it is a direct and un- justifable interference with the boast l ed liberty of the Canadian subject Trant, in the February num- Der of The North American Review.

'
 Farming requires the greatest indus try, the keenest intellect and the best training of all of the professions.
 A days skilled labor on the farm at the present time produces twice as much food as it did fifty years ago.
 Paying cash for labor is a burden to the farmer which is well-nigh in toIerable; and yet if he does his own work, he must either have a very small farm or very large family of boys and girls, who, moreover, are likely to leave him as they approach their maj ajority.
 What, then, are we to do to stop the flowing of the best blood of the farm to the city? The answer, it seems to me, is a simple one; make the farm a more productive place than the city, and it's prospects for a career more certain.
 When people come back from the city to the farm, as I picture the farm in the future. it will not be to lead a life of dreary labor, but rather to engage in an occupation which will command intelligence and the best of business capacity.
 When the city comes back to the country, it will come with cul+ ure, with intelligence, and with knowledge. The science and art of agriculture. draft ing into it's service, as it is doing at the present time, every other science, will so increase productivity that no Ma'thus nor Sir Will am Crookes will ever arise again and prophecy Starva- ton for humanity.
