Raisin Imports Decrease.

The California raisin crop is now
about three times as large as that of
Spain, according to recent publica-
ton of the United States department
of agriculture. About 60 per cent of
this crop is grown in Fresno county
alone. Last year it is estimated that
the entire California crop amounted
to 25O,0O0,o0O pounds. This unques-
tionably could be greatly increased If
the demand warranted it. AS mat
ter of fact, however, it is the practice
to produce only enough raisins to
supply the existing demand. In this
connection it is interesting to note
that as the domestic crop has in
creased, the importations of raisins
have CORRESPONDENCE decreased. In
1885 the imports amounted to over
3S,OOO,OOO pounds; in 1915 they were
less than 100000.
In the early days of the industry
high prices were realized, the aver
age from 1889 to 1893 being about 5
cents a pound. Prices then began
to fall, however, until in 1897 raisins
were quoted as low as three-quarters
of cent a pound. The growers then
perceived that in order to make the
industry profitable cooperation was
necessary. The first association dis
banded after a career of approximate
ly six years. Another attempt also
proved failure, and it was not until
1912 that a really successful organ
ization was formed. An active effort
is being made by this organization
to bring raisins into more general use.

EAT LESS MEAT
IF BACK HURTS
Take glass of Salts to flush Kidneys
If bladder bothers you.

Eating meat regularly eventually
produces kidney trouble in some form
or other, says a well-known author
ity, because the uric acid in meat
excites the kidneys, they become over
worked; get sluggish; clog. up and
cause all sorts of distress, particularly
backache and misery in the kidney
region; rheumatic twinges, severe
headaches, acid stomach, constipation,
torpid liver, sleeplessness, bladder and
urinary irritation.
The moment your back hurts or
kidneys aren't acting right, or If
bladder bothers you, get about four
ounces of Jad Salts from any good
pharmacy; take a tablespoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast for a
few days and your kidneys will then
act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid Of grapes and lemon
juice, combined with lithia, and has
been used for generations to flush
clogged kidneys and stimulate them
to normal activity; also to neutralize
the acids in the urine so it no longer
irritates, thus ending bladder dis
orders.
Jad Salts cannot injure anyone;
makes delightful effervescent lithia-
water drink which millions of men
and women take now and then to
keep the kidneys and urinary organs
clean, thus avoiding serious kidney
disease,

co-eperativ Buying Declines.

According to recently published
report Of the condition of the cooper
alive societies of Canada in the Can
adian Co-operator, official organ Of
the Cooperative Union of Canada,
there is strong indication of decline
of the cooperative buying idea in the
Dominion, the statistics showing that
some of the societies failed during the
year 1914 and that others experienced
a slump both in membership and in
net profits.
Only IA societies reported for the
year, as compared with II in 1913, so
that no comparison is given as to the
amount of business done, but 1t Is indi-
Gated that the loss was considerable.
These IA societies have total mem
bership of $3.50 consumers and the to-.
tai sales for 1914 were 81 1873 ,081.1 II,
indicating average purchases for the
year for each member Of about $195.
OF the ia organization affiliated with
the Cooperative Union Of Canada and
reporting to the central office for 1914,
12 showed net profits ranging from
$275 to $4,000, while two showed
losses. The total net profits were $751;
490.4s, of which it is indicated in the
statistics, $36,21S.63 went into the re-
serve funds of the various societies,
the balance being paid out in dividends
in the form Of vouchers good for mer-
chandise. In an editorial the Cana
dian Co-operator says Of the situation:
1t will be observed that only IA So
cieties have reported, as against II
last year. or the latter seven have
dropped from the list
For the first time during the six
years statistics have been published,
we regret to have to report, In a sub
stantial sense, a backward tendency
in the position recorded. The year
was, of course, one of exceptional de-
preston, and no doubt the same has
contributed, to some extent, to the
failure of some societies, and the I'M
satisfactory features in the statistics.
AS to membership, the setback has
been trifing.
While there has been falling off
in membership of ~ only, the reduc-
ton in the volume OF trade has been
much more serious. This, no doubt,
indicates considerable reduction in
purchasing power through unemploy-
ment, short time or reduction of
wages.

Keepinu Out the Flies.

However carefully store may be
screened, few flies will get in, and
how to exterminate them becomes
quite a problem, says the Druggists
Circular. By many sticky fly paper
is thought to be the best means, but
it does not add to the attractiveness
of a store to expose sheets or ribbons
that are coated with dead flies To
prevent such a morgue exhibition is
not difficult
Roll a sheet of sticky fly paper into
a cylinder, with the sticky side in.
Roll this cylinder in one thickness of
crepe paper, which should extend
about two inches beyond the open
ends of the fly paper drum. Cut the
protruding edges of the crepe paper
into fringe and curl each tongue OF
the fringe inwardly. Run a Irvine or
ribbon through the drum and suspend
horizontally from the lighting fixtures,
top of shelving or from the ceiling, as
may be desired. It is well known that
light paper drapery will in itself draw
and hold flies. The flies are attracted
to the fringe Of the drum and then
crawl inside, where they are caught
by the sticky interior and kept out Of
sight,

WHEN YOU WAKE
UP DRINK GLASS
OF HOT WATER
Wash the poisons and toxins from
system before putting more
food into stomach.
Says lnslde-bathing makes any
one look and feel clean,
sweet and refreshed.

Wash yourself on the inside before
breakfast like you do on the outside.
This is vastly more important because
ties into the blood, causing illness,
while the bowel pores do.
For every ounce of food and drink
taken into the stomach, nearly an
ounce of waste material must be
carried out of the body If this waste
material is not eliminated day by day
it quickly ferments and generates
poisons. gases and toxins which are
absorbed or sucked into the blood
stream, through the lymph ducts which
should suck only nourishment to sus-
tain the blody.
A splendid health measure is to
drink, before breakfast each day, a
glass of real hot water with tea
spoonful Of limestone phosphate in 1t,
which is a harmless way to wash
the stomach, liver, kidneys and
bowels; thus cleansing, sweetening
and freshening the entire alimentary
canal before putting more food into
the stomach.
A quarter pound of limestone phos-
phate costs but very little at the drug
store but is sufficient to make anyone
an enthusiast on matchmaking. Men
and women who are accustomed to
wake up with dull, aching head or
have furred tongue, bad taste, nasty
breath, sallow complexion, others who
have bilious attacks, acid stomach or
constipation are assured of pro-
nounced Improvement in both health
and appearance shortly.

Be PRETTY! TURN
GRAY HAIR DARK
Try Grandmother's old Favorite
Recipe Of Sage Tea and
Sulphur.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded,
streaked or gray. Years ago the only
way to get this mixture was to make
it at home, which is mussy and
troublesome. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound" you will get a
large bottle of this famous old recipe,
improved by the addition of other in
gradients, for about SO cents.
Don't stay gray! Try 1t! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does 1t so naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge
or soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time; by morning the
gray hair disappears, and after an
other application or two your hair
becomes beautifully dark, glossy and
attractive.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is a delightful toilet requisite
for those who desire dark hair and a
youthful appearance. 1t Is not In
tended for the cure, mitigation or
prevention Of disease.

Shoe Prices Going UP.

Shoes, in common with most other
articles necessary to the comfort Of
life these days, are due to advance
from 10 to Is cents a pair, says infor-
nation that has come to shoe dealers,
who are further informed that shoe or
ders they place for future delivery
must carry a very substantial increase
in price.
An article in the February issue Of
the Shoeman says:
Shoes that you formerly bought for
ST will cost at least $11O; for $3.50,
at least $1.65; for So, at least 1920;
for $3.50, at least $2.75; for So, at
least $3.50; for 1925, at least $3.50,
and so on.
In some grades and varieties the
price will advance even more than
this, the dealers are told.
The following figures are given,
showing the advance on feathers since
July 1, 1915:
Upper Leather Prices-Gun metal
calf, advanced 4 to 8 cents per foot;
kid feathers, advanced from to 10
cents per foot; patent feathers, adj
vanced from 4 to cents per foot.
Sole Leather Prices-All grades adj
vanced to cents per pound
Findings - Various materials, adj
vanced 10 to 100 per cent.
This advice is given the dealers:
Be ready to face the situation. You
cannot buy shoes this season and hold
values without paying these advances.
We do not think that it is necessary
to assure our readers that these fig
; ures and facts are authoritative and
genuine. If we could advise you diff
ferently we would be glad indeed, but
it is impossible. Nor do we at this
moment see any likelihood of any
change in the situation.
The dealer who withholds orders
we sincerely feel will be making a
serious mistake.
The public must pay the advance.

Since January ] there have been
several large sales reported to have
been made for Great Britain, one sin
gle sale of 100000 cases having been
confirmed, according to advices, at
the full market price for pinks and
chums. In addition to the heavy ship
ments Of canned salmon that have
been made to Great Britain, other
European countries are said to have
been in the market for stocks OF the
cheaper grades.
At the present time there are said
to be deals under consideration total
ing thousands of cases for France and
other continental countries. Japan
only few weeks ago bought more
than 100000 cases Of pink salmon,
the general belief among New York
brokers being that the supplies were
destined for the use Of the Japanese
military forces. Other sales have
ben reported as pending for future
shipments to the far east, and under
the stimulus Of these heavy foreign
orders the market both on the Coast
and on spot has gained rapidly in
strength during the past few weeks.
At the present time there are said
to be very few stocks of the cheaper
grades of canned salmon remaining
in the Coast markets and New York
stocks of all grades are reported to
be very closely cleaned up. These
large sales, which have SO nearly ex-
hausted the available stocks OF canned
salmon in all quarters, have been
made in the face Of the largest pack
Of salmon that has ever been made
in the history of the industry.
The total pack OF salmon during the
1915 season was approximately 7,000,-
900 cases, the higher quality fish
showing a much smaller percentage
of the entire pack than in former
years. The extremely large pack that
was made consisted to a great extent
of the cheaper grades of fish that are
known as pinks and chums, the flesh
of this fish not possessing the deep
salmon red that Is always found in
the more desirable grades of Alaska

Washington, D. c., April 22-Late

May /.
By a vote of SO to 10 the senate re-
ceded from an amendment which it
had passed extending the existing duty
of 1 cent pound for four years, and
which the house refused to agree to
in conference.
Democratic senators cast all of the
10 votes against supporting the house
measure, which provides for flat re-
peal, thus extending the present duty
indefinitely. They were Senators Gore,
Hardwick, Hughes, Husting, Johnson
Of South Dakota, Lane, MARITIME, Smith
of Georgia, Thomas and Vardaman.
Say for Revenue Only.
The repeal sought by the admins
tration to keep up revenues now needs
only the presidents signature to be-
come effective. The cent duty yields
about $50,000,000 annually Senate
democrats, finding the house unyield-
ing in it's stand for flat repeal, de-
cided at caucus to yield and avert
any possibility of sugar going on the
free list even for limited period The
senate debated the motion to recede
all day. Senator Hardwick declared
his democratic colleagues were forsak-
ing their promise for free sugar with
out justification, and Senator Thomas,
another democrat, said the proposal
meant granting premium on the wa
tered stock of American sugar compa-
MES.
Senator Kenyon, republican, quoting
free sugar speeches of democratic SEN
ators in 1913, said he welcomed the
democrats into the republican protect
i've tariff fold. Chairman Simmons of
the finance committee replied that the
duty of cent pound was not pro-
tective duty, but under existing con-
ditions a justifiable duty for revenue
only.

IRENE ndous Salmon Exports.

With more than million cases of
canned salmon sold for export to
Great Britain, exclusive of Australia
and other foreign possessions, re-
naming unshipped to January 1, ow
ing to lack of sufficient steamer
space, the total American exports of
canned salmon for the United King
dom for the year 1915 showed an in
crease Of almost 100000 cases over
the shipments Of the previous year,
which had established record sur
passing any former year by more than
half a million cases. The following

THE SPOKANE MARKET.

The general business situation is
about the same with no appreciable d.
minution in the prosperous conditions
which appear to be nationwide in char
acter. The only cloud on the business
horizon at the present time is the fear
that the railway employees may carry
out their announced intention to call
a general strike on all of the roads
for an eight-hour day. In such an
event, it is only reasonable to assume
that it will result in more or less de.
1noralization of business in all lines.
because almost the beginning and end
of all business is the transportation
question. II there are no railways to
carry goods, there is naturally stag
nation.
Our export business still continues
in enormous volume, although the Eng
lish embargo on so-called Injuries, in
Guiding California dried fruits, is now
in force.
Provisions.
Butter-The market still holds firm
at previous quotations of 34037c for
Washington creamery.
Eggs-Stocks going into the coolers
has stiffened the price of eggs lit
tie and quotations are now $500 to
the producers and 81 wholesale.
Dressed Meats-The market still
holds firm all along the line, but there
has been no changes as to prices dur
ing the interim. Mutton is getting a
little more plentiful, but beef is still
scarce and hogs are not overly plen-
tiful.
Poultry-Supplies are about the
same as for several weeks, with no
changes in prices, except broilers,
which are now worth zoe live weight
Lard and Cured Meats - Market
holds firm at previous quotations on
all hog products, including lard.
Fruits and Vegetables.
Apples-This fruit is getting very
scarce, the cooking varieties being
about all gone and fancy stocks are Of
volume enough to last about three
weeks. The season will close with
out change as to prices.
Other Fruits-Fancy lemons are a
little easier at $404.50, while choice
still rule at $4. With the near ap-
proach Of the end of the navel orange
season, prices are a little tirmer. with
only fancy stock on the market. Quo
tations are $303.75. Bananas are a
little firmer at $4k05c per pound, as
is also grapefruit at $4.5004.75 per
crate. Strawberries are now jobbing
at $2.25 per crate OF 20 pint cups.
Potatoes-New spuds are now on
the market and offered at SC per
pound. Old potato market Is get
ting little weaker, but no price
change has been noted as yet.
Other Vegetables Rhubarb Is off a
little this week at 3@5c per pound.
Bermuda onions are now in market
and selling at So for the yellow and
2.25 for the white. Local cabbage is
about cleaned up and the California
stock Is out at present, but some more
is expected in about three weeks. Gel
cry is out of the jobbing market, and

kets Prospects for this years crop are
bright. Seeding is about done in the
Big Bend country, but In the Palouse
the rains have hampered seeding so
there Is very little done as yet. This
will probably result in very late
crops this year. AS to quotations, fig
ures for Coast shipment are about as
follows: Bluestem 92c, club SIC and
red Russian SIC. A little better figure
is offered for eastern shipment.
Flour--No new development as yet
has transpired in the -four market,
