take were assumed friend of China and we should
take care lest pull out of the fire of Chinese indie
pendence the very valuable chestnus of those foreign
powers which have plundered China for many years
and in so many ways that they no longer regard the
Chinese as having any right that anybody must re-
spect.
The United States is the only nation that has not
regarded China as the prey of civilization is the only
nation that has not floued all its pretensions of JUS
tice when they interfered with overseas larceny.
Let us beware lest we stupidity and sinfully align
our power with the power of Chinas despoers to make
permanent those foreign outrages which are now so
glibly referred to as foreign interests"
Under philosophy of government all this Euro
pean and japanese exploitation Of China just gigantic
robbery.
There is nothing honest, nothing decent about it,;
it is all the unblushing colossal thevery Of mass ma
terialism at its hypocritical and fag-wavng worst
If these foreign nations had tried to do to any
Central or South American country with only hand
full of people, what they have actually done to China,
the most popuous nation in the world the Monroe Doc
trne would have compelled to go TO war to prevent
such threatened outrage.
Now, when the nations do the same out
RACES in the Eastern Hemisphere expected to
join hands with them and make the fruit of their
plumber secure.
If the Monroe Doctrine is right if sef-government
is right if the cornerstone of this republic not rotten
we should at least condemn the punderers of China
and the very thought of assisting them to quiet their
dishonest titles is enough to cause every who
fought at Lexington and Bunker Hill to turn in his
grave.

Merchants, Welcome
to San Antonio

~ OR more than 200 years San Antonio has been the
II social and trading center for the Southwest. Dur
ing these two centuries the political, social and
economic face of the world has changed but the status
of San Antonio in its relationship to the great Southwest
remains constant.
San Antono's immediate trade territory extends for
nearly 200 miles in every direction and embraces 8
population of 2O000 900 persons Despite the vast
and the immense population served by the wholesalers
and jobbers of this city, personal friendship be-
tween buyer and seller remains the today it
was when San Antonio outpost the frontiers
of civilization.
San Antonio has been criticized often for allowing
business to remain secondary to good fellowship But
San Antonio has lost nothing and gained everything by
ranking business and good fellowship each in its proper
order.
There is but one way in which the relationship of
San Antonio its trade territory may be improved and
that is for San Antonio to become aggressive in
seeking new business.
1t has been estimated that this city is doing a
wholesale business of s150OOO,O0O annually when it
should be doing business of $500 100000 whole
ssle center.
Friendship and confidence is the basis of business
that can not suffer with the passing of years. That is
one reason for the growing Importance of San Antonio
as wholesale CENTER and it is reason why it is
inevitable that San Antonio will ultimately obtain its
full share of business.
To renew old friendships and 10 win new friend
ships to promote amity between buyer and seller, to
shake hands rather than book orders is the purpose
of the Fall Trade Meet.
San Antonio belongs to its trade territory-not
merely for the ten days of the trade meet but for ali
time.

CORNED BEEF AND CABBAGE
BY ROYAL S. COPELAND, M. D
United States Senator from New York.
Former Commissioner OF Health, New York City.

) selection Of foods is not so sickied
DER with the pale cast of thought
that protein and viatmins are taken
into consideration when a hungry
man is about to order. That popu-
lar combination won on its merits"
1t is too bad that foods are not
selected on their merits. / wish the
average man knew more about pro-
teins, vitamins, carbohydrates and
the minerals he must have to live
and thrive. Everybody despises q
man or a woman who is always
fussing about foods and germs. But
it isn't necessary to become a
"crank" on the subject Of proper
eating. One can know a lot about
foods and not stop TO count the
calories Of every dish. But one
cannot be guaranteed health without
the reasonable application of a few
simple rules Of eating.
One Of the reasons why some
families are strong and vigorous
while others are weak and anemic,
is because the favorite dishes and
their proportions have been handed
down from one generation to an
other. If away back yonder there
was a woman who knew how TO
cook and how to select good FOODS,
she taught her daughter the secrets
and developed the appetite in her
sons which made them demand the
same dishes. The children and
grandchildren of such a woman are
likely to be husky and vigorous.
Everybody should know enough
about foods to order dishes for their
food values as we'll as for their
flavor.

There has been very interesting
voting contest over the best liked
dishes. My friends of the United
Restaurant Owners Association
have been trying to find out what
New York likes best to eat.
City folks are thought to have
exotic tastes, but why should they?
Most of the city folks I know come
from the country. If they were
not born in tiny villages they were
born on farms, as / was. At bot
tom they have plain tastes.
Ny observation of city jewellers
is that they are human. Their
needs and impulses are like every
body elses. They may repeat the
words of Shylock, IF you tickle
US, do we not laugh? II you prick
US, do we not bleed?" So why
need we be surprised if the effete
New Workers. confess they best like
the old fashioned and plcbian dish
Of corned beef and cabbage?
1t is ihtetesting thatsthe major
ity Of the restaurant patrons should
agree upon this particular dish.
From the food standpoint no bet
ter selection could be made. 1t is
remarkably we'll Balanced in its in
gradients. Along with the proteins
and fats, are the essential vitamins
and the "roughage" which the fibre
of the cabbage gives.
But let US writers on foods and
health not flatter ourselves that this
dish was chosen because Of its chem
ical and physical composition. In
the language of one of the editorial
writers: at must have been its
flavor, however, that won the day
for corned beef and cabbage. The
