The United States produces bacon
and hams valued at S220,0OO,90Os
CONSUMES $196, 100000 worth and
exnorts the remainder. Its imports
last year were only s65O.0OO.
The production Of beef, veal, NUT
ton. lamb and pork in the United
states in 1910, the latest figures
available. were valued at s562,O00,-

exported. The imports amounted to
$4,000. 600, and there was consumed
a value Of $554,00O, 900.
The beef trust has had its eye on
the Argentine and Australian mar
kets. and if conditions there are the
same as they we're a year ago appar-
emily little hope of relief from the
present high prices may be expected.
Meat Merchants i'm Control.
The meat merchants are placed by
the Wilson-Underwood bill in an ex-
cellent position to whipsaw the pro-
ducers and consumers.
They will be able to say to the
farmers that they can not pay as
high prices for cattle in the future
because of the competition of foreign
meats. They can say to the consumer
that the cost Of transportation of
fresh meats from South America and
Australia is so heavy that they are
unable to reduce prices. The fact
that the democrats refuse to grant
free cattle means there will be no
importation of such animals from
Australia and Argentina and proba-
bly, no importation to speak of from
Mexico.

ENORMOUS loss ON EGGS.
Estimated THAT 1t Amounts to 49,
OO0, 600 Yearly.

EY4Secretary Wilson of the depart
ment Of agriculture estimates that
between the producer and the con-
sumner there is an annual loss of $45,-
zoe, 600 in the egg crop of the United
States, the greater portion OF which
falls on the farmer, who is by far the
largest producer. OF this enormous
loss about one-third, or 100000,
/ is caused by heat, which develops the
embryo of the fertile egg, causing
what is known to the trade as a
''blood ring AS It is impossible to
produce a blood ring" in an infertile
egg such an egg will stand higher
degree OF temperature without seri-
Gus deterioration than with a fertile
egg.

Some time in the life of nearly every active man and woman sub iected to the strain of modern busi- ness and social life comes a period when the physical machine does not react from the strain of excessive work and pleasure seeking-a time when rest, sleep and food are not enough to restore natural strength and vigor
 BIOPLASM (Bower) serves the most useful purpose here by giving natural aid, preventing serious, nervous break down, known as Neurasthenia or nervous exhaustion" The first indi- cations of trouble are indigestion, con- stipation. insomnia. fatigue-in fact, all disorders of the stomach, bowels. kidneys and liver emanate from the same cause.-the c1ogging and inact- ion of the vital organs. BIOPLASM (Bower) Is prescribed by thousands of doctors in treatment of these ailments. Physicians in all parts of the world know it's virtues and speak of 1t in the highest terms. BIOPLASM (Bower) is absolutely an ethical remedy. It has never before been offered to the public direct,
