as possible.

AMERICA WARNS
GREAT BRITAIN
U. s. NOTE ON BLACKLIST" is
MADE PUBLIC.
UPHoLDS TRADING WITH FOES
Washington Government Calls Atten-
ton to the Many "Updesired and
Undesirable Results" That
May Follow.

Washington, July 31.-Great Brit
ain is warned in the American note
of protest against the blacklist made
public by the state department of the
"many serious consequences to nell
trail right and neutral relations which
such an act must necessarily involve"
Text Of Note.
Ambassador Page was instructed by
Acting Secretary Polk to deliver it
formally and textually. 1t follows:
"The announcement that his Britain
mic majesty's government has placed
the names Of certain persons, firms
and corporations in the United States
upon proscriptivs blacklist" and
has forbidden all financial or CONNER
cial dealings between them and citi-
zens of Great Britain has been re-
ceived with the most painful surprise
by the people and government of the
United States, and seems to the gov
eminent of the United States to en-
body policy of arbitrary interior
ence with neutral trade, against
most decided terms.
r. "1'he scope and effect of the policy
are extraordinary. British steamship
companies will not accept cargoes
from the prescribed firms or persons,
or transport their goods to, any port.
and steamship lines under neutral
ownership understand that If they &C.
cept freight from them they are likely
to be denied coal at British ports and
excluded from other privileges which
they have usually enjoyed, and may
themselves be put on the blacklist.
Neutral bankers refuse to answer to
those on the list and neutral mer-
chants decline to contract for their
goods, fearing like prescription.
~ Hits v. S. Home Trade.
st appears that British officials re-
gard the prohibitions of the blacklist
as applicable to domestic commercial
transactions in foreign countries as
well as in Great Britain and her de-
tendencies, for Americans doing bust
ness in foreign countries have been
.s1.'lt en-netiee that their dealings with.
blackllsted firms are to be regarded as
subject to veto by the British govern
ment.
, by the same principle Americans
in the United States might be made
subject to similar punitive action If
they were found dealing with any of
their own cOuntrymen whose names
had thus been listed.
"The harsh and even disastrous eff
fects of this policy upon the trade of
the United States and upon the neu-
trial rights upon which 1t will not fail
to insist are obvious. Upon the list
of those prescribed and in effect shut
out from the general commerce of the
world may be found American con-
Germs which are engaged in large COM
mercial operations as importers of
foreign products and materials and as
distributors of American products
and manufactures to foreign countries
and which constitute important chan
nefs through which American trade
reaches the outside world. Their for
eign affiliations may have been fos-
tered for many years, and when once
broken cannot easily or promptly be
re-established.

Relief in tuberculosis

ity TO upbuild a weakened system, and
thus hasten a return of natural func-
tioning throughout the body.
In this effort much depends on the
remedial value OF fresh air-night and
day-and rest and good food. The pa
tient should refrain from work that over
taxes and all sanitary precautions should
be taken. These commOnsense measures
are approved by doctors everywhere. but
they do not always achieve the desired
results unless aided by proper medication.
It is here that Eckmans Alternative has
evidenced its worth, for in many cases OF

its use is not attended with possible

Oregon also went dry Jan. 1. Cali
fornia is the only wet state left on

will remain dry to the end of time.

fine thing from a business standpoint.
