: The bulletin contains many interesting
facts about various diseases and the
methods of treatment, and makes many
suggestions relative to methods of pre-
venting disease.
Probably the commonest way in which
infections are planted within our bodies
is from hand to mouth" says the bulletin.
our hands are more or less constantly
coming in contact with infectious matter
and they are more or less constantly going
to our mouths; if mot into them, they ham
ole Snd infect the things which we put
into them.
TT is, therefore, intensely important
that we shall always keep our hands as
clean as possible by frequent washing.
Interesting statistics are given as to
the number of marriages and divorces in
the state during July. August and Sep
tember. According to the bulletin, there
were 5162 marriages in the state during
that time, of which number 2793 were
white. There were lag negroes.

NEGROES RAISING
BIG SCHOOL FUND

Greensboro, November 9.--(Special.)
The negroes of Greensboro. being led by
their principal, L. D. Reyool, are en-
deavoring to raise the amount of 800 on
Sunday next, November 30. Five hundred
dollars have been given by a member of
their race upon condition that they raise
800. When they have raised their 500
the two amounts, together with other do
nations, will be turned over into the hands
of a building committee appointed by the
principal, for the purpose of erecting
new building upon the site of the old
Tullibody academy. which was founded
some 35 or more years ago.

business activities throughout the world
The new tariff law, so far as 1t has been
tested, seems neither to have stimulated
nor to have depressed our expectation of
manufactured commodities
The food products which we sell in other
lands, of course have no direct rela-
tions to our tariff laws. Europe and the
rest of the world buy our grain and in
rapidly diminishing quantities our meat
because the people need them and cannot
get them upon as favorable terms else
where.
1t looks as though we might be able to
read a report from Washington early
next year telling of an expectation of
American manufactured commodities in
the calendar year of 1913 of an aggregate
money value approximating 81, 400, 600, ,OO0
This is a marvellous achievement in view
of the overshadowing conditions, political
and economic, which identify the present
year. There must be some sound reason
for these figures. Tariff laws certainly
do not explain them, because our trade
in manufactured commodities is apparent
" about the same under the new tariff
law as 1t was under the old and So
called high tariff law. Some are inclined
to think that our command of foreign
markets for, manufactured commodities
is chiefly due to, first, the great COM
binations of capital which have made it
possible to create highly systematized and
thoroughly equipped selling agencies and,
second, to the fact that American manu-
factured articles are now recognized the
world over as, on the whole, in thorough
ness of finish, in labor saving quality and
in some other features particularly the
rapidity with which contracts can be ex-
eeuted and the commodities delivered, to
be equal to If not superior to the best
manufa ctured commodities of any other
nation
Another somewhat queer feature discov-
cred in these statistics is this: The rec
ord of importations since the new tariff
law went into effect would be an amaz-
ing one If it were not possible to sus-
pect that the law has not been long
enough in operation to affect importa-
tions. Certainly at present the tendency
seems to be toward diminishing importa-
ton instead of increasing it. But it will
not be possible to gain any accurate in
formation respecting the effect on impor-
tations of the new tariff law until some
months possibly year. have passed.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
MAY Be INSTITUTED.
AGAINST THE FRISCO
Attorney General Brickell
: Investigating Refusal of
Road to Stop in Ala
bama Cities

Montgomery November 30.-(Special. }
With the end in view of instituting pro-
ceedings against the st. Louis and San
Francisco Railroad company for refusal
to obey an order of the state railroad
commission. Attorney General Robert c.
Brickell has taken charge of all papers
in the Dora, Sulligent and Carbon Hill
depot cases, growing out of the refusal
of the railroad company to stop two fast
trains at those places.
The case dates back nearly two years,
when the railroad company petitioned the
commission to allow 1t to discontinue the
stopping of fast trains at those points.
The commission refused to grant the COM
panys petition, and issued an order to
that effect.
The question was thought to have been
settled following the railroad commits
sion's action, for the Frisco railroad con-
tinued the custom of stopping fast trains
at those places. Recently, however, the
railroad company took the matter in its
own hands and refused to stop the two
trains in question.
The attorney general is looking into the
matter with the end in view of bringing
legal proceedings against the railroad
company. The railroad commission has
turned all the papers in the case over to
him. and it is expected that he will ask
for an order from the courts to require the
railroad to obey the commissions man

Yet after making sufficient, although, of
course. estimated allowance for the in
visible charges which must be set over
against our visible trade balance we are
certain to have accumulated, principally
in London, as Sir George says, a very
large cash balance.
There are some extraordinary features
OF our international trade in the calendar
year of which only one month remains
If we take, to illustrate a particularly
impressive feature, the record of our in
ternational trade for the month of Oc-
tober, based upon the statistics officially
furnished by the government at Washing
ton we find, first of all, that the money
value of the commodities we exported in
October was greater than any other rec
ORD made in that month. We thought our
expectations in the month of October
1872, were of phenomenal size and money
value. But in the October of this year
we marketed abroad commodities of the
money value of approximately $1S,000,000
greater than the record for October, 1912
The money value of the excess of ex-
ports for the month of October is, in
round numbers, $13S 100000, although one
reckoning fixes the amount at $125, 900 goo.

But before poetic American

she had lived in a somewhat small
town where bridge was played oc-

tea and cookies to follow. After her
