BOON TO U. S. EXPORTERS.
Peru Agrees 10 Accept Meat In
SpectIon Service Certificates.


After considerable negotiation with the
government OF Peru, the State Depart
ment has succeeded in facilitating the
export OF American lards and other
meat food products TO that country. The
Peruvian government has agreed to ac-
cept as satisfactory the certificates Of
quality issued by the meat inspection
service OF the Department Of Agriculture.
Their previous refusal to AFFORD this
RECOGNITION has resulted in much difficulty
for both the American exporters and the
Peruvian importers OF American lards
and similar products.
American shipments of lards and manu-
factured meat products to Peru are very
large, and the exports Of these products
are inceasing.

Simple Froek. for Girls.

Embroidery plays an important role
in some of the chic little evening
frocks, but it is most often in self
color and has no touch of gorgeous
ness such as is shown in many OF the
embroideries for older folk. A little
crystal or gold or silver is admissible
but nothing striking or elaborate.
A delightful little frock OF the pal
est OF pink tulle was made up over 6
pink silk foundation. The tulle was
sprinkled with crystal dewdrops. The
only trimming was ruches of tulIs

lace trimming which edges the ruf

JustIee harIan,s Golf.

Here is a new golf story about
Justice Harlan, says Tid-Bits. He was
playing one day with friend who
was noted for making long drives.
This man found COW in his path,
but not daunted by the obstacle.
drove his ball with great force in the
direction he wanted it to go. The ball
landed In the cows mouth. Straight
way the judges friend chased the
COW. The startled animal turned tail
and ran, still carrying the ball Her
pursuer began belaboring her with his
club as the pair went racing over the
links. Finally the COW, on reaching a
putting green, dropped the ball. 1t
landed in a good position and the
golfer hoIed out in one stroke. Justice
Harlan followed in leisurely fashion
and made it in eight strokes, claim
ing the hole.
But made it in two!" exclaimed
his friend.
Two nothing" said the judge, you
mean thirty-twol l was watching you.

Brown Bread Baker.

Mayor Gaynor was talking about ad-
vertisement writing.
81 like the literary style of the av-
erage advertisement" he said. Even
when advertisements exaggerate, they
are written in good style.
THE best advertisements don't ex-
aggerate; but there are some few ad-
vertisement writers who seem to think
that, in their line Of work, a little ex-
aggeration does no harm.
They remind me, in their mistaken
views, OF miner The miner was
passing bakery with friend. and
in front of the bakery stood very
untidy baker.
"'Gee,' said the miners friend, point

chap to be baker, eh?'
But the miner explained with a
smile:

was of black silk yelled with chiffon

SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY.

Besides its soap-tree, the West In
dies has its toothbrush plant In the
Gouamia domingensis of San Domingo.
One end of piece of the dried stem
is rubbed across the teeth, soon be-
coming frayed and serving like the
bristles of brush, and the saponin
of the wood cleanses the teeth as that
OF the soap tree cleanses linen. The
material is also crushed into the form
of tooth powder.
To popularize lighting and heating
by electricity, various plans are being
tried by European electric stations. In
Bremen a limited current is offered to
small users. making it practicable for a
workingman's family to use specified
number OF lamps-say, three of 16-
candlepower-and no more, the cost
to be about the same as that for oil
lighting. The house may be wired for
any number of lamps, the current
limiter preventing the use OF more
than the contract number at one time.
In Vienna. the municipal plant is seek
ing to encourage electric baking, and
provides free ovens for local bakeries,
guaranteeing that the electric current
shall not cost more than sources of
heat, hitherto employed. Great results
are expected. Among the advantages
claimed are saving of time, greater
cleanliness, greater ease of manage
ment and regulation, and the banish-
ment of chimneys and flues. It is
furthermore stated that smaller ovens
will do the same baking. as loaves can
be packed closer.
A novel method Of bringing nascent
iodine into contact with the tissues OF
the body, for the treatment OF lupus
or skin tuberculosis, has been reported
by DR.. Axel Reyn, German. The pa
tient is first given large dose of So
dium iodide, and in about an hour the
negative pole of an electric battery is
placed in his hand. one or several fine
platinum-iridium needles, forming the
positive pole, being at the same time
passed into his ear The current OF
three or four milliamperes is applied
for three minutes. OF the five cases
treated. two were completely and
quickly cured. and the others showed
marked benefit. while no harmful eff.
fects on the tissues were detected.

To Renovate Velvet.

A velvet dress may be renovated by
hanging it up in a bathroom filled
with steam from the hot water faucet
Stop up the doors and windows &c
that the steam will not escape, and
spread out the garment over a dress
hanger suspended from the ceiling sc
that the steam can reach it on ali
sides, and the velvet will not be
pressed against anything Let it dry
in the same position. 1t should moi
be touched in any way until it is abb
solutely dry. The steam should be
turned OF and the windows opened

A Hold-Up
; An Oppressive Trust.

Before the Coffee Roasters' Association, in ses-
sion at Chicago on Thursday, Thomas J. Webb,
Of Chicago, charged that there Is in existence q
coffee combine which Is ''the most monstrous I'm
position in the history Of human commerce
There is very slight exaggeration about this
statement. It comes very close to being literally
true. There is coffee combine In Brazil, from
which country comes the bulk of the coffee used
In the United States, which is backed by the gov
ernment of Brazil and financed by it, which COM.
pels American consumers, Mr.. Webb said, ito
pay famine prices for coffee when no famine
exists"
The worst thing about this is that the consum.
ers Of the United States have been compelled to
put up the money through which this combine,
to further cinch them, has been made effective.
There were formerly revenue duties imposed upon
all coffee entering the United States. Those taxes
were denounced an imposition upon the people;
taxing the poor mans breakfast table, and the
like. The taxes were removed Immediately
thereafter Brazil imposed an export duty upon
coffee up to the full amount Of the former customs
taxes in this country. The revenue which for
merly went into the treasury of the United States
was diverted to the treasury of Brazil. The poor
mans breakfast coffee continued to cost him the
same old price.
But this was only the commencement. The
''valorization'' plan was evolved in Brazil.
Through this plan the government, using the rev.
enueo ocKiNeo AEoHl tiC eAPofS ouSieb Aux pur-
poses, takes all Of the surplus crop in Of
large yields and holds it off the market, thus
keeping the supply down to the demands Of the
market and permitting the planters to receive a
much higher price than they would otherwise
have done.
The United States consumes more Brazilian cof-
fee than does the rest Of the world. We are the
best customers Of Brazil, and Brazil buys little
from us. Now Brazil is promoting, financing and
maintaining a trust designed, and working effect
lively for the purpose, to compel American con-
sumers to pay an exorbitant price for the coffee
they use. What is the remedy7-Seattis Post-Ia-
