distribution plan which will meet the
demand of all markets instead of over
loading one and with insufficient sup
plies to another.
During the past year the trade has
been we'll aware of the fact that many
industries are long on production and
short on distribution. The economic
distribution of farm products is to-
day the worlds greatest problem, and
the war, while it has brought its hard
ships, has clearly emphasized the i'm
portance of distribution as a factor
in American agriculture and promises
to give the farmer the cooperation of
the government and of business men,
the solution of their marketing prob
lens. For years the Department of
Agriculture has been dumping tons of
literature on the farmer, telling him
how to produce, while the farmer has
been dumping tons of products in the
nations garbage can for want of a
market. At no time dnrin~ the his
tory of mankind has there been a
time that the inhabitants of the world
suffered from the lack of production,
but lots Of people from the beginning
of the world have gone hungry
through the lack OF proper distribu-
ton.
At the present time less than one
tenth of the worlds tillable land is un-
der cultivation; therefore, it would
seem that the lack of production neces-
sary for maintenance of life is prob
lem never to be feared. The expert
ence of the past year, in fact of sew
eral years. has proved conclusively
that the matter of over-producton is
now a serious one in the apple deal,
orange deal, cantaloupe deal, potatoes
and other products. Under European
war troubles the Pacific coast has
suffered in practically all lines from
over-production on account of foreign
demand being curtailed. In many
commodities the signs of the times
point to heavy over-production, but
with the proper method of distribu-
ton and development of out-of-the-
way markets at least a portion of
the problem will have been solved.

Studied Criminology.
After seven years service as pa
trolman and detective. he was made
an acting sergeant and detailed at
detective headquarters. During the
next seven years he applied himself
closely to the study Of criminology
and police methods and made an en-
viable record as an officer.
The result was that in May, 1906
he was given a captaincy and when
the police force was reorganized two
months later he was made inspector
and assistant superintendent. In this
position he was in charge Of the de-
tective office. a place he held until
his death.
From the day he was first appointed
to the force Inspector Boardman was
an indefatigable worker. and most
of those who know him best attribute
his death to his close application to
his duty. He was at his desk seven
days a week. and often worked far
into the night when there was some
big case on hand that he felt needed
his attention.
Last summer he suffered a slight
stroke OF facial paralysis. But as soon
as he was able to get around he re-
turned to his desk. and in spite of ad-
vice continued to give his untiriny ef-
forts to his work.
At Desk Yesterday.
Inspector Boardman reached his desk
in tho Detective Bureau yesterday
morning at o'clock. and remained
there until in the afternoon. He
seemed to be as well as usual. He an
swered several letters and kilograms.
and then went home for dinner.
The last big case on which Inspector
Boardman worked was the Frank Holt
outrage, and he was the first to realize
that the same man that made an at
tempt on the life Of j. p. Morgan might
have placed the bomb in the Senate
wing of the Capitol a few hours be-
fore.
AS soon as he read the details of the
Morgan outrage in The Washington
Times and saw the parallel statements
made in Glen Cove, n. Y, and in the
letter which Holt wrote to The Times,
he telegraphed to the Glen Cove au-
thorities to learn If their prisoner could
have been In Washington the day be-
fore.

Why Tolerate Catarrh?

You have noticed, no doubt, that any cold aggravates nasal catarrh, and the flow of mucous amazes you that such objectionable matter could find lodg- ment in your head. To ignore this catarrh when the cold subsidies is wrong because it continues to slowly injure the delicate Things of the nasal passages and clog them up.
 To correct catarrh, cleanse the nos trils frequently with solution of warm water and salt, insert vaselme on re- tiring, and take a spoonful of Scott's Emulsion after meals for one month. Scott's acts through the blood to feed the tissues, and contains soothing glycerine to check the inflammation and heal the sensitive membranes.
