What is there so fascinating about li "fizzing" beverage? Why are the soda fountains thronged by crowds ■who would not touch their product after the dissolved gas had'passed off? The reason is doubtless partly psych ical, but does not seem to have been clearly stated. A writer in the Lon don Lancet makes an attempt at it,' anil succeeds in raising some interest ing questions, at leasi He notes, in the llr.it place, that artificially aerated waters are a comparatively mod r i in vention. They were suggested, no <Ln.l t, partly by natural 3parkling waters and partly by effervesent fer mented liquors. He goes on: "What ever may have been its origin, the discovery of artificially aerated waters, as exemplified in the universality of soda water, seltzer water, and potash water, proved to be the beginning of an enormous industry, and millions of dozens of aerated (waters are now made annually, involving the employment of probably at least 50.000 persons in this country alone. This fact, coupled with the numerous devices which enable the consumer to prepare his own soda "water at home, would seem to indicate that the introduction of aerated waters filled a place in tile requirements of modern life, and the question arises as to whether the frequent drinking of waters strongly impregnated with car bonic acid gas has any prejudicial ef fect upon the health. It is an inter esting feature of the case that total abstainers formed at one time the chief patrons of aerated beverages. The pleasant, sharp taste of soda ■water, lemonade, and so forth formed an agreeable contrast to the usual drinks of the teetotaler. The lemoft squash made with soda water was a much more interesting beverage than still lemonade, and so 'the minerals' made a very acceptable addition to the beverages of a class of persons whose views we all respect." A Useful Bureau. One of the agencies helping to draw more closely together the countries of this hemisphere is the bureau of American republics, maintained at Washington and which has done much to acquaint the different peoples with one another. The bureau is to have a permanent home in a building to be erected for that purpose. This is as sured by the appropriation of $200,000 by congress at its last session and by the contributions to the construction fund made or to be made by other re publics. The bureau is an internation- j al institution, and the idea of housing j it in a building of its own at Wash ington has been under consideration for some time. The work of the bu reau is steadily growing in extent and importance, and that work will be ac celerated and made still more effective by the handsome provision for accom modation and convenience. The navy department has completed j arrangements for the adoption of the j finger print syst<?m of identification, j This is a system which has been adopt- I ed for the army and which will go j into effect on Septembir 1. The navy department is not able togo into the matter so thoroughly as is proposed in the army, but every man accepted at a naval recruiting office will be re quired to leave his finger anrt thumb prints. Records of these taken from j the usual glass slides will be sent to Washington and classified in the bu reau of navigation, where two civil- ! ians will be employed at. a specially ] authorized salary of SI,BOO each to dei velop and maintain the system. It is ! apprehended that men already in the j navy will have a prejudice against j submitting to this method of identifi- j ration, and it has been decided to sub- j ject only new recruits to the process. : ~ - • Watchmaking has progressed won- ! derfTilly in the United States in the ! last 5Q years. In 1902 two and three- j quarter million watches were manu- j factured in this country, whereat; the j number made in IS'J2 was o-ily fifty i thousand. Many more Watches are I made in continental Europe—the num- J her In 1302 was six millions —but the j increase has not been nearly so great as here. In England the gain is so small that the busim us may be said ■to be practically stationary. SENSE IS NEEDED. ALONG WITH A GREAT DEAL COM MON TACT. Having Acquired These, and Standing i Shoulder to Shoulder, John Sharp Williams Thinks the Democrats Might Carry the Next House of Representatives. | Je>hn Sharp Williams has lately ex ' pressed this conviction regarding the outlook for a rehabilitation ot the ; shattered fortunes of the Democratic party: "We are upon the eve of carrying the house of representatives, if we only act together, shoulder to slioul | der, and show common tact and com mon sense." To expect the Democratic party, | which Ingersoll tised to characterize i as "an organized appetite," to show common tact and common sense un der any imaginable conditions, is as j unreasonable as to expect the leopard to change his spots. It is difficult to i recall a period of time within the past : 50 years when the Democratic party failed to do the wrong thing at the | right time. Total incapacity to cor rectly judge the trend of things has been its almost invariable record. | Clearer pfbof of that fact could not be asked than is to be found in that 1 party's mistaken adherence to free j trade and its foolish antagonism to i ward the policy of protection. Its single opportunity since 1860 of show ing itself worthy of being entrusted with 'he c;iec of the country's bent re occ it-red in 1592, wi'.h the result of inilictinj; a loss upon the eount-y modi ratcly estimated it $10,000,000, 000. The total cost of Democratic tariff legislation on free trade lines was probably greater* than that sum. It would seem that common sense might have discovered the effects of the blunder and that common tact might have prevented its recurrence. Nothing of the kind. The Bourbon fight against the accepted policy of the American people goes on forever. The party has learned nothing, for gotten nothing. For'example, we find the everlasting dull, dense hatred of an established system cropping out. in the speech of one of the leading ora tors in the last Fourth of July cele- I bration of the Tammany society of New York. On that occasion Bourke Cockran declared: "As only a small percentage of our people are employed in so-called pro j tected industries which receive the | benefits of the system, the great bur den falls upon the balance who are employed in unprotected Industries, but receive none of the benefit of the system. So a large class is taxed for the advantage of a small class, and therefore the equality of burdens which Jefferson planned for is defeat ed by the inequalities which Koose : velt stands for." And Congressman Henry, of Texas, followed with this jubilant predic tion: "When we meet Tammany in the next national convention Texas will be there holding up the banner of the greatest Democrat who has lived since Jefferson—William J. Bryan." What an appeal is here made for the confidence of the business inter ( ests, the industrial producers and the wage-earners of the country! One demagogue shouting the shallow lie, disproved by the facts of the great ! est prosperity ever witnessed or ima gined, that the benefils of protection : are for the favored few, while its in j juries are visited upon the general mass; and another demagogue giving i assurance that Texas and Tammany ! will be found* shoulder to shoulder in | the upbearing of the standard of Free i rader Bryan. That is the combina tion that is expected to capture the presidential prize of 190S: Texas and I Tammany, Bryan and free trade. John Sharp Williams may well plead for common sense and common tact. There is need for them. * May Not Be Advantageous. An inciease in foreign trade may or may not be advantageous to a na | tion or a commonwealth. It depends < upon conditions and circumstances. , It is not necessarily advantageous and it may be positively disadvantageous. For example, Connecticut produces i cutlery and New Jersey produces pot tery. Connecticut supplies New Jersey with cutlery and New Jersey supplies Connecticut with pottery. We will suppose that the annual exchange is of $1,000,000 worth of cutlery for $1,000,000 worth of pot tery; total exchange, $2,000,000. Suppose, further, that under a con j dition of free trade or reciprocity Con j necticut, instead of exchanging prod j ucts with New Jersey, exchanges her I cutlery for French pottery. in such case France gains what New Jersey has lost. The exports will show a gain of $1,000,000, but this gain is at the ex pense of New Jersey's labor and pro duction. The imports also show a gain of $1,000,00); total increase of foreign trade, $2,000,000. What has the nation gained? Noth ing. It has lost by the transaction SI,OOO,- j 000, precisely the sum lost by New I Jersey labor and production, less the ; difference in the lower cost of the ! pottery imported front France. It may be that this difference ; amounts to 20 per cent. In that case : the nation has saved *200,000 and lost : $1,000,000. Net loss, SBOO,OOO a year. So the $2,000,000 "gain" in foreign ' trade turns out to be fictitious. As a matter of fact there has been u loss and no gain. CAMERON CDUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, AUGUST 16, 1906. | FREE HIDES WOULD DO HARM Senator Warren Drops Some Broad Hints to Eastern Manufacturers. In a speech a few years ago before the National Association of Wool Manufacturers, Senator Warren of Wyoming earnestly advised against any attempt to secure a removal of the tariff cn woo?. "If," said Jo, Ut substance, "any of you aio thinking of free wool, 1 would repeat the fam ous advice of Punch to persons con templating matrimony: "Don't!' Thin was supplemented, as we remember, with some significant suggestions to the effect that the tariff on woolens could not very well be retained after the tariff on wool should be removed. Senator Warren's "Don't!" produced the desired effect. Very little has been heard from wool manufacturers in tlio past five years on the subject of aboV ishing the tariff on wool. Again the senatorial ranchman from Wyoming is on hand with a "Don't!" This time his advice is addressed t|> the manufacturers of boots, shoes and leather products. Mr. Warren's speech of June 27, in the senate, on the subject of "Livestock Statistics: Shall There Be a Duty on Hides?" is brimful of pertinent facts as to tli*. magnitude of the agricultural inter i ests which would be assailed and an | tagoni/.ed by the refusal of the party j of protection to continue the protec | tion embodied in the Dingley law to I the livestock growers of this country. It will astonish some people to j learn that as long ago as 1899 there ! was, according to the twelfth census, a total of 11,210,131 persons in tht | United States whose livelihood wa» j dependent directly ac 1 in lirectly oe 1 e liveatoek iii luatry, or 3S per cert, of our entire working population, nr d Ihv. the gro r value of meat, product not including retail butchering, v.iil in 1906 reach $1,000,000,000. There are facts and figures in Sen ator Warren's speech which may well arrest the attention of those who clamor for free hides and threaten the downfall of the party of protection unless their demand shall be granted. It should occur to these people that they represent a rather small voting force, compared with the 12,000,000 voters who are concerned in the re | tetnion of protective duties on all the i products of thel ivestock industry. To the disturbing element which j would, if it could, stultify the party of | protection by free trade in what it buys while retaining protection foi what it sells, the closing words of Senator Warren should come alike as a rebuke and a warning: "The permanency of protection as a national policy rests largely with the i American farmer. When he arrives lat the conviction that protection is ; being withheld from him in order that | the profits of manufacturers may be j swelled, then the end of protection j will swiftly come. "Mr. President, our tariff laws when | framed by protectionists have never j been made to favor one state, one | section of the country, or one Indus try. They never will be. We are all ; so interdependent that an injury tc j one industry or to one part of the j country is an injury to all, and a j benefit to one is a benefit to all. Un | der a universal protective tariff our j freight cars are loaded going both ways—from east to west, from west tc I east; from north to south, from south to north. The farmer is prosperous, as Ts the manufacturer, and employes jof both. A protective tariff is a corn i pensating tariff and always must be. j else it would not give protection at | all ,and unless it is given to all, it j is given fully to none. Protection can . not be sectional and selfish. It must :be general and adequate. Such pro | tection is now in force under the op | eration of the present law. It is the j most perfect law we have known. We j shall, as a matter of course, have to I revise it some time, but not to-day. j We are too busy, too well employed, too well paid for our labor, too pros perous to think seriously of tariff re vision in the year of our Lord 1906.'' Higher Prices. The Buffalo Times covers only a part of the subject when it asks: "Are you studying the tariff ques tion? Do you know that your money will buy only about two-thirds as much now as it would before the pres ent tariff bill was passed?" Do you also know that a condition of high prices obtains throughout, the civilized world, and that nobody's money will buy more than about two thirds of what it would buy ten years ago? Financial scientists are attrib uting this increase in current values and this lower purchasing power ol money all over the world to an enor mous increase in the supply of gold The condition obtains in free trade Great Britain as well as in protected America. In this country, however, under a protective tariff, employment and wages have more than kept pace with the higher cost of living, while 12 per cent, of Great Britain's work people have no employment and nc money at all with which to pay tht higher prices. An Asset? "Tariff revision is a Democratic as ; sot," sagely remarks the Washington j Post. True now, true always. Tarifl | revision was the chief Democratic ! asset in 1592. and the party realized l on it in great shape. Three mouths ; after the realization in the Wilson . Gorman act the Democratic majority |in the house of representatives had ! been changed back to a Republican l,majority, and two years later McKin ; icy, the apostle of protectionism, was ! elected president, along with a con I gress Republican in both branches 1 Three Republican presidents and con gresses have been elected in succea sion on the strength of that valuablf asset. DAZED WITH PAIN. The Sufferings of a Citizen of Olympia, Wash. L. S. Gorham, of 516 East 4th St., Olympia, Wash., says: "Six years ago I got wet and took cold, and was soon tflat in bed, suffering tortures with my back. Every move ■aont caused an ago nizing pain, and th« liaustcd mo, to that for q. time I was dazed and stupid. On the advice of a friend I began us ing Doan's Kidney Pills, and soon no ticed a change for the better. The kidney secretions had been disordered and irregular, and contained a heavy sediment, but in a week's time the urine was clear and natural again and the passages regular. Gradually the aching and soreness left my back and then the lameness. I used six boxes to make sure of a cure, and the trou ble has never returned." Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box.

The steamship Goldmouth, belong ing to the Shell line, has just arrived at Rotterdam, after steaming from Singapore by the route round the Cape of Good Hope, a distance of 11,- 731 miles, in 52 without once stopping the engines or checking the generation of steam in the main boil ers.

PHYSICIAN SAYS Children Thrive on Grape Nuts and Grearrt. A Mass. physician has found a cure for constipation in children citing fifteen cases—by feeding them Grape- Nuts. "Some time ago," he writes, "I be came interested in your food, Grape- Nuts, as a cure for constipation in children. Having tried it in my own family, I have advised it in fifteen cases in which all suffered with con stipation more or less severe. The re sult has been absolute relief in all. "1 write this that other children may be benefited." How much better it is thus to bring about a healthy action in the bowels of growing children by natural means, than to feed them with improper food, requiring some kind of cathartic at intervals to overcome constipation. Grape-Nuts gives energy to the en tire nervous system including the nerves that cause the natural con traction and relaxation of the bowel muscles, that propel the food mass along. It is predigested also, and the blood easily absorbs the food as it goes through the body, storing up vitality and force for the functions of all the organs. Children especially, should get the right start as to habits of living. They should grow into bright, strong, cheerful men and women. Grape-Nuts solve the question of the start; a wholesome appetite will do the rest. Children's teeth are benefited by chewing Grape-Nuts, also. Your dent ist will tell you that a certain amount of exercise in chewing firm food, is necessary to grow strong, "beautiful teeth. Teeth need exercise just the same as muscles, if they are. to grow strong and firm as nature intended. Grape-Nuts ogives the exercise and also gives material from which good teeth are made.
