CHINA WANTS OUR GOODS
American Manufacturers Are Meeting
Favorable Reception at Hands
OF Orientals.

The Chinese are beginning distinct
ly to favor American goods und re-
gard America MS u model from n man
ufncturing as well as governmental
viewpoint, according TO Maurice Ben
jamin. general manager of the Oliver
Import and Export company, Shang-
hal, China. In spite of the famine in
freight he says, American manufac-
turers are not only gradually finding
their way into Chlna, but are being
sought by the Orientals.
"The tremendous disturbances In
Europe have not failed to leave traces
in China" he said. "In this the high
freight rates have played no small
part. China wonders why so large
nation MS America should have no
mercantile marine. In some lines
where only $40 per ton was paid be-
fore the war for transportation from
the United States west const to
China, as much as $40 per ton has re-
Gently been paid.
~ believe the day Is not far dis
tant when we will see II new China.
When the 400,0OO,00O people there be-
gin to want machinery, railways md
other requirements OF civilization.
America will benefit. 1t Is n common
error to think that the Chinese are
TOO inveterately conservative to adopt
Western civilization. The cost Of liv-
ing of Chinese In towns where there
are Europeans has probably doubled
In the last few years"

RAISES STANDARD OF LIVING.

Miss Gertrude Vale, executive sec
retary of the bureau of charity and cor.
rectIons, says In the Denver News:
1--WE have been asked many times
whether prohibition has had any eff
feet on the work Of the city relief
Office. We feel tlat II has very great
ly helped us. The number Of fam
lilies asking relief from the city Office
has been about n hundred u month less
than for the corresponding month last
year.
"Most OF that difference is account
ed for in the employment problem.
We have had very much less trouble
with unemployment this year than
last. That may not be due to prohibit
tlon, but at least, prohibition has not
created a hard unemployment prob
lem, as some people anticipated. We
can recall only two cases in which re-
lief has been asked because the man
had been thrown out of employment
by the closing Of the saloons.
"Aien are using their wages more
for their families. Among us all In
the office we can think Of only two
cases since the first Of last January
In which a woman has complained
that her husband did not bring home
his wages. Last year that was a
frequent and bitter complaint,
"GrOcers tell us, without exception,
that they are better able to make their
collections, and that people are buy
ing more and better quality Of food.
One grocer commented that It was
worth a great deal TO see the In
creased manner Of self-respect witt
which the women did the buying since
they could buy better things.
$50 we are convinced that how
ever much or little actual drunk
enness may have had to do with the
poverty we meet, at any rate, since
the closing Of the saloons people are
being better fed, and that will go far
to reduce some other cause OF pow
erty.
"They are doing better about meet
ing their just obligations, and that
will go far toward raising their self
respect and their general standard OF
living"

GOOD BEGINNING.

Alabama's statewide prohibition
law went into effect July ]. Saloons
in Birmingham closed their doors at
eleven o'clock the night of June 80.
A dispatch reporting the business of
the recorders court Of that city for
the morning of July 3, says there was
not single case of drunkenness nor
assault and battery on the docket, the
first instance of this sort within at
least four years and the clerk thinks
he is within the truth In stating that
the period is more likely eleven years.
1t was the llghtest docket that the
clerk can remember.

PROHIBITION BENEFITS mILKMAN

A Massachusetts man, investigating
the dairy business in Denver, found
that during the first four months under
state prohibition there was an Increase
in milk sales of over 1000.
One dairy had milk route In dis
trlct where AZ saloons had been It's
best customers, and the proprietor ex'
pected to take that particular wagon
cff. But with the closing Of the sa'
looms came the opening Of more luncl
counters and milk sales in that district
Increased about SO a day.
There has been little increase In the
better residence dlstrlcts-Park hill,
Capitol hill and the well-to-do parts of
the North and South sides, where, If
people drank, at least they could also
buy milk. But n route around the
stockyards has an increased business
of So a day; one around the railroad
shops an increase of SO day; one In
the district between Curtis and Lari-
mer street, an increase of So day.

BEER pRINkER AND HIS FAMILY.

at is difficult to find a heavy beer
drlnker 40 years Of age with normal
liver, kidneys or heart" says DR.. ID.
II. Kress. "These vital organs, from
the excessive burden that is thrown
upon them, wear out prematurely.
The beer drlnker may have an abund-
alice of flesh, but 1t is of Inferior
quality. Surgeons do not care to op-
crate upon him, because the chances
of recovery are mlnimized. Should
the beer drinker be stricken down with
pneumonia or some other febrile dis
ease that taxes the heart and kidneys,
he would have but three chances out
of ten to make recovery"

noon Sunday it was some with a

man who saw them going down East
Pike street shortly after the robbery
said that when the car hit the holes
in the street 1t bounced so high that
an arc light three blocks away could

He estimated that the car was
making forty miles an hour,
That the young men had no In

merely wanted a joy ride, Is shown
by the fact that about noon Sunday
they dpve the car back to tho
garage, and we're taken in custody
by Chief OF Police Harry L. Brooks
The car was badly damaged.
Ecenhour agreed not to prosecute
the young men If they would pay
the costs OF repairing the machine.
lcenhour figured the cost at 800,
and the prisoners had raised this
amount by Monday morning. En-
ployes at the garage, however, said
that 800 would not begin to cover
the damages to the car" The men
we're released after the garage men
