in way, represents direct redemption
of pledges made by the delegates of the
United States, in Joint action at the
Buenos Aires conference of the high COM
mission, last April. 1t was then agreed
that the general plan of inter American
amity, commerce, and Jurisprudence
would be distinctly furthered if such a
law were passed by each of the republics.
Having acted, the United States is now
in better position to continue to adj
wise effectively.
Possibly, had not Secretary McAdoo Of
the United States treasury department
been present at the Buenos Aires confer
ence, and shared in the deliberations of
the high commission, the measure might
not have been enacted so soon. But with
his championship, and the known favor
of the president of the United States for
the general policy of Identical laws gov
erning methods of conducting inter
American trade, of which it is but
detail the bill became law; and a for
tunate beginning has been made, as those
know best who have wrestled with the
problems of exchange created by condi
tons as they have been. Conspicuous
among champions OF the new law have
been the banking houses. They have
fallen in, fully and inteligently, with the
effort to promote interAmerican com
merce, and now they can act in a sound
and uniform way in making loans on
shipments. With this gain in credit
procuring facilities for the South and
Central American buyer, business is like
ly to increase.
An injustice would be done the head of
the treasury department if the impress
sion were left that, in his efforts to pro-
mote ends agreed upon at the Buenos
Aires conference of the high commission,
he was oblivious to the domestic value
of uniform bills lading law. Pho
neers in the United States have been
busy with Legislatures, and have sue
ceeded in getting a measure of uniform
state legislation; but it has been slow
work, and it has covered only portion
of the country. Now Congress has set |
its seal on the work already done, and by |
one decree has finished the undertaking |

ANNUAL SALE OF STATES
TIMBER HELD IN ST. PAUL
Sixteen Million Feet, Expected to

St. Paul. - State timber estimated
at 100000 feet, and expected to

offered at the annual sale conducted
by State Auditor Preus in the Senate
chamber at the Capitol. About thirty
representatives of timber companies
attended the sale.
Timber offered totaled only about
one-fourth that sold last year, because
of a feeling in the timber board, the
auditor said, that funds available now
are inadequate to properly protect the
states interests.

trusts of the state" said Mr.. Preus,

Iron is absolutely necessary to en-
able your blood to change food in
to living tissue. Without it, no mat
ter how much or what you eat, your
food merely passes through you with
out doing you any good. You don't
get the strength out of it, and as a
consequence you become weak, pale
and sickly looking, just like plant
trying to grow in soil deficient in iron.
If you are not strong or well, you owe
it to yourself to make the following
test: See how long you can work, or
how far you can walk without becom-
ing tired. Next take two five-grain
tablets of ordinary nuxated iron three

Canfield's restaurant adjoining the
