Twelve luggers sank and 2 70 men
lost (hojr lives wiien a typhoon struck
the Pearl fishing fleet just as it left
Thursday Island, off the west coast
of Australia, according to news
brought by the Australia-Canadian
liner Manuka in port at Victoria, B.
C., Thursday.
Twenty of the men who went down
were white men. The typhoon, which
whipped the waves mountain high,
swamped the vessels, as if they were
row boats.
Serious Panic on a Street Car.
In a panic caused by a fire on a
trolley car at Fort Worth, Tex., 12
persons were injured, two seriously.
Nature lias provided the stomach
with certain natural flunds known as
the digestive juices, and it is through
these juices that the food we eat is
acted upon in such a way as to produce
the rich, red blood that flows
through the veins of our body and
thereby makes us strong, healthy
and robust, and it is the weakening
of these digestive juices that destroy
health. It is our own fault if we
destroy our own health, and yet it
is so easy for any one to put the
r stomach out of order. When you
need to take something take it
promptly, but take something you
know is reliable?something like
Kodol For Dyspepsia and Indigestion.
Kodol is pleasant to take, it is reliable
and is guaranteed to give relief.

Trinity college, University of
Berlin, a special osslesiastieal envoy
of King Menelik, of Abyssinia, and
descendant of a line of priests of
Abyssinia 3,r>00 years old, is spending
a few days in Philadelphia.
lie is telling the negroes of this
country, among other things, that
Eve was a negro, that Moses was a
negro, that Solomon was a negro, and
that Homer was a negro.
His present business in this country
is to tell the black to go back to
Africa, where, lie says, they belong.
He bases his assertion that Moses was
a negro on a Biblical story to the
effect that God told Moses to put his
hand in his bosom, and that when
Moses drew (he hand out, it was
white; therefore, he must have been
black.
lie says that Solomon's mother was
a Cussite, and that the Abyssinians
are the only Cussites in the world.

discussion of climatic conditions,

temperature, diseases, Insects, grading.
[tacking, storing, ventilation of
storage houses, marketing, uses, etc.
The publication is interesting. In
introducing ihe subject, Prof. Peattie
says of the sweet potato.
With the passing of each year the
sweet potato is becoming of greater
importance as a commercial truck
crop in the United States. During a
long period it has formed one of the
principal sources of food for the people
of the Southern States and of
tropical America. As a commercial
truck crop the sweet potato woul he
included among the five of greatest
importance, ranking perhaps about
third in the list. As a food forthe
great mass of the people Iving in
the warmer portions of our country
the use of this crop is exceeded by
hominy and rice only. In manv t.f
the Islands of the Pacific, especially
in the Philippines, the swfeet potato
13 the prtcipa) vegetable food for
huge numbers of the lower classes,
at certnn seasons being almost the
only food available.
The sweet potato industry in tills
country is readily divided into two
classes of production: ( I ) For
home use and ((2) for market. A
quantity sufficient for home use can
be grown under a wide range of conditions,
while production 011 a commercial
scale is somewhat restricted
by climate and spil and also by market
and transportation facilities. The
larger eastern markets are now well
supplied, but there are sections where
the people have not as yet become
accustomed to the use of sweet |>otatoes
in large quantities. The field
for the production and use of sweet
potatoes is very broad, and tills crop
promises to become of move general
farm importance.
in view of the constantly increasing
interest, in sweet potatoes it is
tiie purpose of this bulletin to give
simple cultural directions covering
their production both for homo use
and for market, including the soil
and its preparation, the propagation
of the ptuiits, planting, harvesting,
storing and marketing, together with
the uses of sweet potatoes for stock
feeding and for similar purposes.
The sweet potato is of a tropical
nature, its original homo nrolmhlv
being the West Indies and Central
America. The true sweet potato, as
we have it growing in the United
States, belongs to fiie morning glory
Ipomoea Ihitas. Throughout the
Southern States (lie sweet potatoes
having moist llesh are coininonlv
known as "yams" and those- having
dry flesh as sweet potatoes. The
numo "yam" is misleading and properly
belongs to a distinct class of
plants that are confined almost entirely
to the tropics.
Owing to the trophical nature of
the sweet potato it naturally thrives
best in the South Atlantic and Gulf
Coast States, but Jt may be grown
for home use as far north as Southern
New York and westward along
that latitude to the Itocky Mountains.
The starch and sugar content of
sv/eet potatoes varies considerably in
different varieties, but as a rule they
contain about i a per ccm or srarcu
und 4 pof cont of sugar, making a total
of 20 per cent of alcohol producing
material. It is possible that sweet
I otatoes #will become one of the chief
sources of denatural alcohol tn the
United States, but at present the methods
of manufacturing have not been
sufficiently perfected to warrauted
their use for this purpose on a farm
or community basis. *
