oUR GROWING DEPENDENCE BP0N THE TROPICS


 The increasing reliance of the United States upon the tropics for food and manufacturing material is evidenced by the fact that over three bi!i'on dollars worth of tropical and sll5 srJ 1iesl pro. duets entered Continental Giifei States in the fiscal year 1920 againss less than one billion dollars worth ii 1918. and less than half billion m lgg9 Of course; says statement of The Nation al City Bank Of New York discussing this closer relation of the United States with it's neighbors in the tropics, s6fne part of this tre4nehdeus increase in values is due to the high cost 6f,' but nevertheless it is a fact that the quan- tity Of tropical products consumed in the United States has tremendously ifi- creased and seems likely to go on iit- ereasing, irrespective of high and still advancing prices. For example, the quantity of cane sugar all tropical, of course entering Continental United States in the fiscal year 1920 was nearly l g 1-2 billion pounds against a little more 1 than z 1-2 Billions in the Immediately preceding year and less than six billions 8 decade ago. Of coffee, strictly tf6pi- cal; the, Quantity imported iii the fiscal 1 year i926 was i4G6 660i606 pounds | against one Billion a year earlier. and only S71,666;666 in 1s16.

FROM LUcILlE'S DIARY

"Rain fell almost necessarily during the few days that passed out at Hill top with dear Miss Belinda and her broth- CT last week. After one long, dreary afternoon when we had all yawqned over bridge, said we must do something exciting in the evening and suggested that we have an old time party.
 Let's raid the attic" l said. T know lots of Fascinating bygone costumes are there, for Miss Belinda took me up once when she was looking for things to be surprised and amused when she comes back from her civic meeting in the viii lage and finds us all dolled out in these quaint duds.
 But do you think. we should Edo. 1t without asking herr" inquired Louise Br- win, who is always painfully punctilious.
 "Oh, Miss Belinda won't mind. \ She will enjoy the fun. She is wonderful sport-always game, you know.
 Indeed she is," said George Requirefi He adfnires Miss Belinda immensely and he wouldn't dc anything to displease her for the world
 You see, George thinks it's all right, , I whispered to Louise, and in a moment more we were all tripping up the attic stairs. We found all sorts of interesting things. among them an almost thread bare Civil war uniform, which I insisted that Bert Gage should wear We all out fitted ourselves and when we met a half hour later in the big living room we went into gales of iaaghtef at our an- tidue appearance, for without consulta- tion we had all made up with powdered hair and deeply marked lines.
 Well, what in 4he name of Rip Van Wrinkle has happened here?' asked Ben as he and Miss Belinda came into tht room Have we been gone sixty years 1 instead of sixty minutes?

BRANDEdEE's COURSE SUSTAINED

(NST Haven Journal-Coufier.)
 It is a deithsible and worthy thing to oppose MT. Brandegee for holding ps- iftieal views which are under discussion, but it is neither defensible nor worthy to oppose him f6f attitudes winch have been disposed of and for which he con- scientiously claimed constitutional nii- tli6rity. To ignore this. latter phase Of the question is to work along lines Of premeditated revenge which can have no, other effect than to add de1i15ralization to confusion.

such meat, into competition with beef. mutton and pork and sending it to this country for consumption there promises to be an important industry added to those already established in Alaska. Alaska believes that it can soon place reindeer meat on the market. If such can be done by Alaska there is no won- der that the Canadian government be- leves that it is time that efforts were put forth in that country for the same purpose. Canada certainly has the area and it is but natural that it should be anxious to see it made productive. At

Neglected Teeth Cause Serious fdlhess

Neglected Teeth Cause Serious Idlness.
 Due largely to the revelations of the K ra5, supplemented by careful examifa= tion hy physicians and baeteriolegists, we now know that neglect of the teeth and mouth are responsible for a number of serious infectious diseases, whose origin, until recently, was very obscure. The more important of these conditions are diseases of the heart and arteries infee- tions of the blood, and infectious dis eases of the. joints.
 All modern uD-to-date dentists now use x-ray pictures Whenever they stis- pect any trouble with the roots of the teeth. Not only the dentist, but the physician as well, has been astonished at what these pictures have revealed t9 him.
 Often they show that pts is present about the neck of the tooth, and that there are pockets extending down to- ward the roots which hold large quanti- ties of putrid material The discharge of poison and germs from these hidden abcesses at the roots of the teeth and the consequent absorption from these and other local sources of infection such as diseased t5nsils are often the real cause of some obscure ill-defined ailfneiit which perhaps has baffled the attending piysi- l elan for sometime.
 It is not mater of coincidence that 1 in the Presbyterian Hospital in Chicago out of 3S2, patients who were suffering from rheumatism and joint trouble, 8s per cent. were found with chronic abseess. es of the teeth, or that at the Cook County hospital, Chicago, 7s per cent of the rheumatic cases were found chrome Sabscesses of the teeth.

mote and safeguard the best interests
of the republic and its citizens.
Pursuant to the resolution of the
republican national committee at it's
December meeting, there is being in
Dictated a special committee on pol
icies and platform This committee
consists of the IL members of the ma

OF this committee is to invite the adj

study intensively the larger problems

suit of their efforts as suggestions to
