Tremendous Export Trade of

New York, Aug. 31.-The tremen-
dous export trade of the United States,
IN which the country leads the world
for the first time, was imperiled to-
day by an alarming drop in foreign
exchange. rates, notably sterling.
/ At the close of business tonight, the
English pound brought only $4.55, and

from the normal value of S1Ac from
Its value August 1st of 20% G, and from
Its quotation last night of sac, a "a
hour break in value without preced-
ent. 1t marks the lowest value yet
recorded in an excited market where
levery day recently it has set new re-
cord of depreciation, and it indicated
that sterling was headed downward
with a momentum and velocity that
ipromised to take it to levels un-
Thought of ten days ago.
Bankers Are Worried.
In the face of this rapid deprecia-
Ition, bankers here were wondering to-
might how much longer Great Britain
would pay the premium and buy goods,
in this market, which she can get else
where where the value of her money
is greater. They were of the opinion
that Amrican factories and producers
would feel the pinch if fates went
much lower, that cancellation of more
orders for everything except what
Great Britain cannot afford to do with
out powder and shot, rifles and shrap-
mel, aeroplanes and automobiles,
would follow, and that there would be
few new orders placed by London in
A.aerica except for positive necessi-
! tits. a. ~ u 7s.st
| What New York bankers want to do
is to lend Great Britain an enormous
! sum Of money to be sent in paying
bills here, on approved collateral of
high class American railway and in
duEtrial stock and bonds. This, it is
believed, will restore conditions to
nearly normal. 80 a. ..- a F..

|B|G INCREASE IN
| FOREIGN EXPORTS
Imports Show Decrease With
Exception Of Gold Which
Shows Increase.

Figures made public by the Bureau
of Foreign and Domestic Commerce,
Department of Commerce, show a
slight decrease in imports and large
gain in exports during July and the
seven months ending with July, 1915,
when compared with those periods OF
last year. July imports totaled $l43,-
O99,62O this year, against $159,677,2 ,291,
a year ago. July exports We're the
largest ever recorded for that month,
being for this year s267,97S,990, COM
pared with $154,13S,947 for July, 1914,
and s16O, O,99O,778 for July, 1913, when
the month made a new high record.
OF the July, 1915, imports 64.6 per
cent entered free of duty, against
59.2 per cent in July last year.
For the month of July, 1915, there
was an export balance of $124,S79,370
as compared with an import balance
of $5,538,344 in July, 1914, and an ex-
port balance of $21,929 0OS in July,
1913. For the seven months ending

DEATH OF FAMOUS
ARCTIC EXPLORER

Vienna, via London, Aug. 31.-The

and painter, is announced

gests itself as the most obvious and
direct remedy.
From a number of sources, how
ever, comes warning that the pure
milk station as separate institution
must not be too much accentuated.
The danger comes from the fact that
it deals only with bottle-fed babies.
Since the bottle-fed baby's risk of
dying is so much greater than the
breast-fed baby's, it is perfectly nat
ural that preventive efforts should
first be directed toward the most po-
tent causes of high death rate, but
there may be and in some places
there have been certain attending
dangers where the furnishing of milk
has been the only thing attempted.
On this account in many, if not
most, milk stations positive proof is
required that the mother either can
not or ought not to nurse her baby
before she can get the pure milk, and
this precaution has been found nee
essary in order to prevent an increase
in bottle feeding in the community
as a result of the feeling of greater
safety which the pure-miIk station
gives to mothers who, while perfectly
able to nurse their children, would
prefer, for insufficient reasons, not to
do so.
1t is never intended that there
should be less insistence upon the
duty of breast feeding because of the
milk station, for while the death rate
among the bottle fed is reduced by
pure milk, the death rate among the
bottle fed from the purest milk pos
sible is still much higher than the
death rate among the breast fed, and
if there is any perceptible increase in
bottle feeding as against breast feed
ing because of the milk station the
latter might thus become an agency
to increase rather than decrease in
FAINT mortality

to care for the baby's milk, but to
convince them of the necessity of
cleanliness where the baby's food is
concerned - convince them of the
deadIiness of dirt, especially of dirty
milk.
In many cities it is believed that the
principal good to be derived from
milk stations consists in the opportu-
nifty given for those in charge to come
in contact with the mothers and with
the home surroundings of the ba-
bies in the high death-rate districts
The nurse and the physician in con-
sultation with the mother thus be-
come necessary adjunct of the milk
station.
No milk, however pure or clean,
agrees at all times with all babies,
and the distribution of modified milk
becomes necessary almost immedi-
ately in a number of cases To modi-
fy the milk to serve the needs of a
given child that child's case must be
studied; hence the child clinic, which
almost at once grows out Of the ne
cessities of the milk station.
A milk station is simply room
from which pure milk is given out
for the use of babies that cannot be
breast fed. The best location is in or
as near as possible to the congested
part of the city. 1t is only necessary
that the room shall be sufficiently
large to accommodate the patrons
and the equipment and that it be light
and clean.
In the case of Utica, N. Y, for in
stance, the first milk station was
opened in a schoolhouse, and it would
seem that schoolrooms, thoroughly
scrubbed and cleaned, might more
generally be turned into this use dur
ing the summer vacation.
The equipment is simple: A good
ice box, large and kept clean; desk,

FEEDING TROUGH FOR FOWLS
Arrangement Described to Save Feed
and Protect It From Drop
pings ard Other Filth.

The majority Of poultry diseases
are picked up with the food or take.l
from the drinking pans. 1t is diff
cult to keep fool clean and dry dur.
ing bad weather where it is thrown
on the ground ~ even in litter. But
this exposure is nearly overcome by
using trougks wish Slated sides and
detachable roofs. The trough can be
from SIX to ten feet long, with the
sides five inches high; the lath Stats
are two inches apart and the troughs
sixteen inches from the floor to roof.
The roof should project two inches on
the sides to protect food from the
weather. The Roof is easily removed
by lifting one end and sliding it end
wise on the opposite gable end on
which it rests. The trough can then
be filed and the roof drawn back in
place without lifting it. This arrange
nlent saves feed as well as keeps it
clean from droppilgs and other filth.

TRANSATLANTIC GRAPE VINES
Operation viii Be Successful If Work
Is Done Properly-Good Time Is
Early in the Spring.

Grape vines can usually be trans
Planted successfully, no matter what
age, if the work is done properly.
With vines as old as Is years, it
would be necessary to cut back the
top severely and leave as much of a
root system as possible. 1t may be
somewhat difficult to take up a vine
of that age as the roots have quite a
spread. A large hole should be dug
so that the roots will be at least six
inches below the surface soil and
they should be we'll spread out. Fine
top soil should be we'll worked
around the roots and firmed down
with the foot.
Transplanting may be done either
in the fall or early spring before tho
sap begins to flow.
If it is not desired to move the older
vines they can be propagated either
by cuttings or by layering, and a large
number of new plants secured at small
expense.
