DDS are better in any respect than those
of the Americans improvement can
be made here. Methods of packing, i'm
provements of facilities between two
countries and criticisms by the recipi-
ents of goods are all noted, with the
idea of giving the American business
man an opportunity to improve his
relations with the country to which he
wishes to sell his goods.
But it is not only through reports
made to the Department of Commerce
that the United States representatives
abroad aid the American producer and
American Industries. They not only
tell the American producer what the
peoples of various nations need or are
interested in, but they also tell the
business men of the foreign nations
things which they believe may interest
foreign trade in American products
One consul, for instance, recently sent
word that instead of throwing away
trade journals after he had finished
with them he sent them to business
interested in them. In this way. he
pointed out. American firms were adj
vertised throughout that district.
Consul General A. L. M. Gottschalk
recently reported that he has inserted
daily in two of the leading Rio de ia
metro newspapers snort notices of
American companies desiring to enter
into negotiations with Brazilian firms.
Through a personal arrangement with
the editors, he explains, this service is
without cost to either the government
or the inquirer.
Arrangements for exhibits of Ameri-
can-made products are also made by
the business representatives abroad
These have a peculiar value, inasmuch
as they give the foreign buyer first
hand knowledge of the sort of goods
he may expect from this country.
At present the United States main
tains nearly 800 consular Offices and
many agencies abroad. There are ten
commercial attaches: E. w. Thomp-
son, regularly stationed at Berlin, Ger
many, but now at The Hague: Albert
Hale. whose headquarters are at Buenos
Aires, Argentina: A. H. Baldwin, Lon
don, England; C. W. A. veditz, Paris,

In the early part of July. there was a
scarcity of vegetables that caused great
suffering among the poor. To do with
out meat half the days in a week was
a hardship accepted with cheerful rec
ognition. but when the markets raised
the prices of spinach and cabbage and
insisted that the demand far exceeded
the supply, a petition for relief was
drafted and sent to the emperor

So. promptly. expeditiously, 1t was

with unbounded joy. Mountain tramp

The morning following their mon

were not otherwise employed went in
crowds to the country outside the cities

to receive the fruits of their labor.
Their enthusiasm was unshackled. II
was like monster picnic for them: a
picnic without chaperons.' Especially
impressive was the sight around Wen
ma. Karlenberg and Kobenzl seemed
alive with tiny bodies hurrying from
place to place, grubbing for watercress
and dandelion plants. Competitions
were organized by the elder children
and each one worked with might and
main to outdistance the others.
At noon the children ate the lunches
their parents had given them-lunches
including bread that had been procured
with bread cards and was made of in
gradients that would have been most
unappetizing TO American boys and
girls. But not complaint was heard,
and as soon the meal was over they
renewed their work with increasing
spirit, crying gleefufly when a luxuri-
ant patch was found, pouting when
only grass and rocks rewarded their
search.
Night came, and the tired little bodies
carried their loads to waiting wagons.

Austria successfully overcame the OBJ

thusiasm and willingness to devote
their best endeavors to the consumma-

Death of Mrs. Julia Talbert.

A sanity woman entered upon
eternal rest when the long life of
Mrs. Julia Talbert, one of beauti-
full consecration and devoted ser
vice, was brought to a close. To
her death had no pangs, having the
comforting assurance that she would
be accompanied by her Saviour
through the Valley of the Shadow
of Death. Mrs. Talbert possessed
superior qualities of mind and heart,
which together with her ripe expe-
rience, resulting from her long life,
placed her upon a plane that few
attain. Urselfsh, gentle, sweet
spirited, possessing a magnetic per-
sonality, she drew those with whom
she came in contact to her, and her
influence was always wholesome,
helpful, uplifting. She was in fail
ing health a long while and bore
the afliction with patience that was
beautiful and inspiring to loved
ones who ministered to her 80 de-
votedly and 80 INCREASINGLY.
The editor of The Advertiser al
ways felt that it was a sweet bene-
diction to be in her presence and we
always sought her whenever we
went to her church, Rehoboth,
which she loved so we'll. In adding
these lines to the tribute which is
paid Mrs. Talbert by her pastor in
this issue, we extend our sympathy
to those who are bowed in sorrow.
