Small Increase In Imports

Washington, July 7.-Foreign man
ufacturers sent into the United States
during the first six months of the ley
tariff system just S.S per cent more
OF their finished product than they
did under the old. This was pointed
to by Secretary Redfield tonight as
ample demonstration that here was
no ground for the fears of American
factory owners that they would be
driven from business by domestic
tariff. Importation of food stuffs
showed a large percentage of increase
In the eight months which ended with
May, while foodstuffs exports fell off
substantially. There was relatively
small reduction in the amount of com
pleted manufactures exported.

Predict Enormous Crops

Washington, July S.-Thirty million
bushels of wheat were added to the
prospects Of the crop during June by
the excellent weather conditions,
making the forecast of the crop, as an
nounced today by the department of
agriculture $500 0 900 bushels, a new
record.
The acreage planted to corn this
year was only slightly less than that
of last year, while the condition of
that crop was l per cent better than
the 10-year July l average condition,
making the prospects good for a crop

culture at 2,S6S, 0O0, 900 bushels. That
would be better than the average for

SQUARE DEAL FOR SETTLERS

Throughout the west the feeling is
general that the government places
needless difficulties in the way of men
who have taken up lands under the
homestead law. Harassed by red tape
these men. in many instances, are per-
mitted to secure title to their lands
only after long delays. Commenting
On this latter-day feature of our gov.
ernment's land policy. the Portland
Oregonian recently closed IN editorial

enough, but he had the encouragement
that title was his if he did his best to
live up to the law. Today the new
settler who tolls and starves to ac-
quire something he nay call his own
is an object of official suspicion"
That, indeed, is too true. Every
state in which public lands remain is
experiencing this handicap. Montana

Butte Post. Hundreds of men who
have filed upon homesteads in this
state have been unable to secure pat.

rules.
More than a decade ago the late
Senator Thomas II. Carter called pub.
lie attention to the fact that the Ca.
madam government was much more
liberal to it's settlers than vas Uncle
Sam. The Montana senator said that

tempting to win homes on the public
domain in the same measures that the
Canadian government cared for it's
settlers, we would have less reason
to complain of the exodus of Ameri-
can farmers to Canada.
Secretary of Interior Lane, when he
took office, promised to do all that he
could to- relieve settlers in the west
from hardships imposed by purely bu-
reaucratic rules. To some extent he
did relieve the situation, but in this
state and elsewhere there still is much
complaint from settlers who are un.
able to secure patents and whose titles
are held up pending examination of
charges made by government agents.

n N MANY parts of the Northwestern
states there is promise of an abund-
ant crop of straw. This means a

suppose a farmer has reaped his
crop and yet he is unable to get a
machine to thresh it. What should
prevent him from beginning to stack
it at once? What should hinder him
from continuing to stack until the
whole is completed, If he has still to
wait for the machine to come? Every
stack that he builds means so much
more of his grain rendered safe from
hazard. 1t means so much more of
his ground put in a condition for be-
ing plowed.
While 1t is true that the stacking
does add to the cost of handling the
crop as compared with threshing
from the shock, it does not add so
much to n cost as many suppose.
The grain has to be drawn in any
event from the shock, whether
threshed at once or stacked. 1t does
not involve much more labor to draw
to the stack than to draw to the ma.
chine directly. OF course there is
labor in the extra handling of
the sheaves. The saving of the crop,
however, is the great matter. A lit
tie extra labor is o or should not
be allowed to stand in the way of the
safety of q crop after it has been
grown.
1t Is we'll to consider this matter
in time. The lesson of 1912 should
not be forgotten. The growth Of
straw was very heavy that year.. The
harvest was showery. The t~hreshing
machines could not nearly handle the
crop in time. Much of the wheat re.
manned In the shock all winter and
much of the fax lay in the sheaf
form under the snow until the spring.
But little fall blowing was done in
many localities, to the great injury
of the crop the following year. This
should not be allowed to occur again.

o WEATHER DIET

Health depends more on eating than
on sleeping. Many a man digs his
grave with his teeth through excess
in eating, but few die prematurely
from failing to sleep enough. The
subject of eating assumes added i'm
portance in hot weather.
The body is an engine, our food its
fuel. The digestion of food demands
expenditures of energy by the body,
and this in summe has less energy
than in winter. The thing to do is to
lessen the strain on the engine, and
this is done by eating less food or
lighter foods.
Americans eat too much meat at all
seasons, and meat is a fierce fuel for
the body in warm weather. 1t strains
the engine to consume it, and while
digestion of this heavy food is going
on the body and brain suffer great
discomfort. The less meat n a get
along with these hot days the health
Ter and more comfortable he will find
himself.
DR.. Bolduan, chief of the New York
bureau for educating the people in
health, makes these helpful sugges-
lions as to dog-days diet:
Increase the use of whole grain
breads. Use the water in which vege-
tables have been cooked, for it con
tains valuable salts. Employ those
parts of meat which Americans usual.
1y throw away, conserving them as
stock for soup. Increase the consump'
ton Of dried beans and peas and OF
lentils, of macaroni. noodles and spa
getti and of oleomargarine.
He also recommends breakfast
cereals as nourishing, sugar and syr
up are excellent foods, milk, California
wines, cottoline for cooking and water
lad libitum." Cut out brandy, gir
and w%hiskey.
Observance of these suggestions
and the practice of chewing ones food
long and thoroughly will help to less

Climate Great Factor.
ITO illustrate how weighty the fac
tor OF climate is in treating tuber-
culosis We have made charts and
tables making division as to whether
resident subsequent to treatment was
had in favorable or unfavorable eli
mate. We do not tell a patient he
cannot return to unfavorable climate
after arresting his case and holds up
alright. but we show him that while
but 50 of those apparently cured, ar
rested and improved at the 3anitorium
who remained in favorable climate
have died, 40 of those who went back
to unfavorable climate have died. This
we have compiled to let the patient
on discharge know just how weighty
to consider the factor of climate when
he decides whether or not to include it
in his further fight on the tubercle.
ITO show that sanatorium work
does pay, we give the following fact
which does not appear on superficial
investigation. In 1909, the first year
it was necessary TO reject 81 per cent
of applications for admission because
OF cases being too far advanced, while
in 1913 il was necessary to reject but
81 per cent, and in 1913 we had just
as large a proportion of favorable
cases. Thus in our society, which
comprises 1:1OO of this countEy's
population, we have cleared out, |
through treatment and education, that
proportion OF incurable tuberculosis as
is represented in the difference in per- |
centage of rejection between 1909 and ;
