FOOD SUPPLY BROADENED
UNDER new TARIFF LAW
Secretary Redfield Shows That Trade
Balance Favors the
United States.

That the food supply Of the country has
been broadened under the present tarifi
law is the opinion of Secretary Redneld
Of the Department Of Commerce While
he asserts that II is too soon to state
any definite results under the new reve-
nue. laws. yet If it be well to open new
supplies of food, that has unquestionably
been a result
Increase in the exports and decrease In
imports for the first four months OF tSe
present fiscal year as compared with the
same period last year were shown IN sta
tistics made public by the department.
Exports this year have amounted In value
10 $s3S 994, S53. against SI71 ,O4l.1S for the
first four months last year. The import
figures were s5s0677,o62 for the four
month period of this year, as compared
with $500, oSo, 9s7 for the corresponding
period of last year.
There can be no inference drawn from
these hard facts" said Secretary Red
field, that is not both encourag ng ana
complimentary to American INDUSTRY.
The flooding of our markets with the
alleged cheap wares of Europe has not
h. onened. On the other hand. the
growth of exports is both surprising ana
encouraging. Details of imports show
increases In large proportion or those
classes of foodstuffs on which the duty
was removed or reduced by the new
tariff Law.
There Is a large increase in the guam
titles of<food imports from which the
tariff has been in whole or IN part re-
moved, coincident with large decrease
In total value of imports. this decrease
IN the total imports being due to fall
ing off in the Importation of certain artt-
cles not affected by tariff changes

PARIS. December 3, 1913.
An elderly corset maker of Flers, a
town in the northwest OF France, en-
gagged at the same time to woman foyty-
six years old and her niece. fifteen. plead
ed TO be imprisoned as a way out of his
dilemma
To the aunt he had been engaged for
many years, and 1t was at her request
that he took the niece as an apprentice
10 his business. Soon afterward he
promised to marry the girl. When the
aunt heard OF this she announced her in
tention Of throwing vitriol over her faith
less lover. and the frightened corset
maker thereupon renewed his vows to
her
This news was conveyed to the niece
by the triumphant aunt. The girl bit
terry reproached the corset-maker and
scratched and beat him. Then the man
sought the protection Of the police.
Lock me up" he cried. II am as
afraid OF the niece as of the aunt
Whichever of them I marry the other
will kin me. Only in prison shall I be
safe"
But all the magistrate could do for the
harassed corset-maker was to detain his
TWO fiancees at the courthouse for five
minutes while he got safely away.

Montgomery said:
Economy simplicity and 'Spugs.'
These are the words which are falling
from the lips as We stand in the fore
glow of this Christmas tide. They have
a kind of comic opera flavor.
The thing that strikes me is that the
call is made by those who have every
gift 364 days in the year. the majority
of whom rave when baked in any de-

the t!rnekeeper at the gateway OF Christ

swell the big heart throbs in the chorus

angel. God bless them, It's for them:

DR.. THOMSON'S
EYE TALKS
(TALK NO. 1859
Delay.

Delays are dangerous always but
especially so when your eyes are Civ
ing trouble. There is no such a thing
as outgrowing a defect of the eyes. If
there is an irregularity of the focus
it will always remain. The eyes will
always be working harder than they
ought The longer this is continued
the worse they become. If you wait
too long, even lenses will do no good.
The sooner you give them attention
the more benefit you will receive and
the less you will have to wear glasses.
In nearly every case of weak eyes they
could be entirely relieved by wearing
glasses for close work. if begun in
time. After awhile it will be neces-
sary to wear them constantly. 1t is
vastly better to wear them a part Of
the time now than TO wear them all
of the time a few months from now.
1t is better to use them once in
while than to wear them all of your
life. See to it TO-DAY.
