tity to bring the aggregate up to the
high-record sum of s41 900, 600. Mean
time imports of automobiles, which
gradually increased from approx
mately $500, 900 in 1902 to $1,000, 900 in
1906, now show a downward trend, the
total having receded to $3,200,000 in
1908 and 81 800 600 in 1913, with pro-
portionately much greater decline in
the initial month of the current year.
American made automobiles were
sold last year in all parts of the
world, considerable numbers going to
the United Kingdom. Germany. and
France, the European centers of the
automobile industry. To the United
Kingdom our exports last year am
ounted to 5l52 cars, or more than three
times as many as in 1910; TO Germany,
101T, or about ten times as many as
in 1910: and to France, s21, or four
times as many as in 1910. In each
case the figures for 1918 were the
largest on record. Canada continues
TO be the largest single customer for
American automobiles, though the
6051 cars exported thereto in 1913 is
slightly less than the number ex-
ported TO Canada in 1912, namely,
1921 cars. In addition to $S,000,00O
worth of complete automobiles ex-
ported from the United States to Can
ada last year, about 100000 worth
of parts We're also shipped to be as
sembled in Canadian establishments.
Sales of this class to Mexico declined
from 297 cars in 1911 to 227 last year.
while those to practically all other
countries increased; those to South
America having doubled, those to
Australia and British Oceania hav-
ing increased about 80 per cent,
and those to Asia, Africa, and other
parts of the world as whole hav-
ing quadrupled during the last two
years.
While American manufacturers were
increasing their sales of automobiles
abroad, foreign manufacturers were
less successful in our own market.
Thus the number of automobiles i'm
ported from France fell from 1863 in
1912 to 1856 last year; Italy, from 109
to So: and of those from the United
Kingdom, from 1877 to 81 while the
number imported from all other coun-
tries except Germany decreased from
80 to 76r Germany alone showed in
creased sales, the 81 automobiles i'm
ported from that country in 1913 be-
ing a gain of is over the number i'm
ported in the preceding year.
Last years imports of automobiles
into Athe United States were valued
at slightly more than 100000, COM
pared with similar imports of $780,
600 by Italy, s3,000,0o0 by Belgium, 3d.
100000 by Germany, $3,500,000 by
France and s1s.0oo.oo0 by the United
Kingdom.

SENSE
ABOUT COLDS
Thousands of People so Live That
Colds are Unknown to Them.

The best way to treat cold is to
prevent it, by right living, wholesome
exercise and plenty of fresh air.
Thousands of people are so living
that they go along year after year
without a sign of a cold.
Their systems are so fortified that
the cold germs cannot get foothold.
Drafts and sudden changes of the
temperature have no effect on them.
The trouble with most of us is that
we neglect the common rules of health.
We live and work in badly ventilat-
ed. over-heated houses and offices.
We wear too much clothing.
Our skin and the membranes of our
throat become sensitive to the least
exposure.
We are easy marks for the deadly
little cold germs.
But-even though we do allow our
selves to catch cold--there is no need
for US to keep it for more than a few
hours.
The only dangerous cold is the
neglected one.
The first sneeze or SILVER is the
danger signal.
Then is the time to act-and act
quickly.
A few doses of Hills Cascara Bro

ton saying that very few countries
could qualify to ship, In fact Den

not laok as though there could be any
question but that the embargo would
be continued another year. He urged
the farmers to plant their usual acre

He stated that the country would re-
quire substantially 350,000,000 bushels
of potatoes and it was up to the va
rious sections of the United States to
supply them. He pointed out en-
phatically that efficiency and elimi-
nation must begin at the farm.
He was followed by Director Woods
of the Maine Experiment station, who
made a stirring plea for cooperation
with State and Federal authorities.

Seized---Grape Jelly from Apples

Washington, D. c., April 1.-Two
shipments of coffee from New York
City were seized recently on the rec
ommendation of the United States de-
partment Of agriculture, the charge
being that they contained an excessive
number of rotten or decomposed ber
ries. Both seizures were made on
March 4, 1914, at Petersburg, Virginia.
The cases have not yet come up before
the courts, but they will be tried in
due course. when it will be determined
whether the charges are justifiable.
This statement holds true of all the
seizures noted in this article.
Fourteen sacks of coffee, each con-
tanning 80 pounds, had been shipped
by Potter, Sloane, O'Donohue, New
York City, n. Y. The product was
called Bed Rock Coffee Fifteen
cases and % packages each contain
ing one pound, had been sent by the
same shipper. This product was call
ed Dixie Brand Coffee" Both adul-
iteration and misbranding We're charg-
ed Officials making the seizures
maintained that the mixtures had been
coated or glazed in such manner
as to conceal their inferiority.
A shipment of coffee was seized on
March 8, at Philadelphia. it being
charged that the coffee was misbrand-
ed The shipper was Despres & Co.
of New York City, and there were
10 sacks seized. 1t is charged that
the coffee consists largely Of Santos
brand although it was represented to
be "Maracabo" coffee, which is a bet
ter and mere expensive brand.
Two shipments of dried apples were
seized during the latter part of Feb
ruary on the recommendation of the
department one seizure consisted of
10 bags that had been shipped by K.
C. Sheppard, Stuart, Virginia, to
Washington, District of Columbia.
The other consisted of 80 sacks that
had been shipped by Isaac Rosen-
baum & Sons, Louisville, Kentucky,
to Evansville, Indiana. 1t is charged
that the goods in both instances are
adulterated in that they consist in
whole or in part of a filthy vegetable
substance.
Other recent seizures of vegetable
substances" charged with being filthy,
were made in New York City and
Galveston, Texas. In the first IN
stance the seizure consisted of 23I
boxes of dates leach containing 80
pounds These were shipped by
Birdsong & Co, Philadelphia, Pennsyl-
vania, and were labeled Camel Brand
Finest Selected Persian Dates The
other consisted of 20 cases of Big r
Brand Tomato Pulp which were
shipped by Roberts Brothers, Balti-
more, Maryland.
Another recent seizure was made at
East Hammond, Indiana, and consist
ed Of two cases and one bottle of Ma
poleon Brand-French Style Cognac.'
This so-called "Cognac" had been
shipped by Gluecklich and Company.
Chicago, Illinois. 1t is charged to
have been adulterated and misbrand-
ed. in that about so per cent. neutral
spirits had been mixed with and sub
stituted for cognsc in such manner
as to injuriously affect the quality of
the goods.
