Forty-six per cent. of the benevolent
institutions in the United States are

a luxury, since
Nutrition IN they supply the
Dried Fruits, needed nutritive
material as an in
liet, besides adding to the attractive
ness of the daily fare, according to
nutrition specialists of the depart
ment of agriculture. If they are to
be eaten raw, brands made and mar
keted in a cleanly way should be OBJ
tanned
The amount of dried fruit produced
in the United States increased SIS per
cent. between 1899 and 1909. Califor-
mia produced more than four-fifths of
the yearly output According to
rough estimate each person in this
country consumes on an average of
five or six pounds of dried fruit a
year.
The value of dried fruit grows from
between four and five million dollars
to over twenty-one million dollars in
ten years. The average wholesale
price however, has not advanced with
the increased demand; on the con-
trary it has dropped from about five
and half cents to four and half
cents per pound.

for that purpose.
At assembly next Wednesday the

BANKERS QUIT RAILWAYS.


The voluntary withdrawal of the
different members of the firm of j. p.
Morgan & Co. from the directorate of
thirty large corporations, banking,
railway and industrial, together with
the announcement that other resig-
nations are to come soon indicate a
change in relations which may mean
much to the country. In a statement
from his office, Mr.. Morgan gives two
reasons for the Withdrawals: One is
that attendance on the meetings of
the various boards of directors has
been a serious burden on the time
of the bankers; the other is defer
ence to a changed public sentiment
on the subject of directorships. 1t is
likely that the action of Morgan &
Co. will be followed by other great
investment bankers who have been
conspicuous in the financing of rail-
way companies.
In few cases has the numerical rep
resentation of bankers on a director
ate been large. But their influence has
been out of all proportion to their
number, for when one supplies the
snews of war his voice commands
special respect. In determining the
remuneration for the sale of securities

concerns in which the bankers have
interest. This has placed the di
rectors on both sides of a transac-
ton, practice which deserves the
odium that the public has been so
vociferously heaping upon it. The
first explanation assigned by Mr. Nor
gan is also good. No man can prop
erly discharge the duties of director
for a large number of corporations
1t is not likely that the bankers did
devote the attention required by the
ices were chiefly exerted in the in
terest of security holders and of con-
Germs from which purchases were
made.
