MONEY IN SILK CULTURE Dr. Bedloe’s Views on Its Prop agation In America. SOIL AND CLIMATE FAVORABLE. 3 Wt‘11 Known Orii-n till ini. Hack From Jniinu. Telln How Ihc Silk Induatry Can Bo Followoil by Farmera of Limiloil Monna — No Gront Outlay For IMnnt or Stock Neceaanry—Jn- pan'a Viowa on American Move* ment. Dr. Edward liedloe, the well known orientalist, who recently returned to Washington from Japan, where he in vestigated the silk culture with special reference to its introduction and propa gation in the United States, says: “The people of the United States eon- suine practically half of the world's silk output, and it means an enormous gain to us if we can keep this money in the country. We have made a few at tempts in n small way to grow silk, but it is well worth the greatest effort. We have not yet tried seriously. We want to give our home farmers and manufacturers the benefit of that im mense trade if we can, and we are the people to do it. “In the middle and southern states and on the Pacific slope we have all the most favorable varieties of climate and soil—in fact, we have conditions far superior to the rest of the world for growing the mulberry and cultivat ing all the best species of silkworm by the best methods. “The early settlers of Pennsylvania and other of the original states gave much attention to silk culture, but other pursuits have rather crowded it out. Now, by the aid of the govern ment, the industry is being revived in several sections of the country. Re suits of careful and systematic expert meats, conducted on the most practical and scientific basis by the department of agriculture, have demonstrated the possibilities and given some tangible idea of profits to the American farmer. “A family can make more money in eight weeks in silk culture than the same family would make in a whole year by rai dug a crop of cotton. The farmer may still have the cotton crop and add the silk to it without incon venience. One does not interfere with the other. Mulberry trees, the leaves of which form the natural and only food of the silkworms, can he grown along the fences of the cotton fields and in odd corners of the farm to provide for the worms. There is involved no great outlay for plant or stock for the production of raw silk. “it is a business in which the farmer of limited means may engage as well as ills wealthy neighbor, and there is no practical possibility of market prices ever coining down so as to cut profits close. There is always a very ample margin, more than in most crops. Moreover, the silk industry can be made a side issue, as it were, to be at- tondod to by the wife and children, like the poultry rearing.” During Mr. Bedloe’s stay in Yoko hama the Japan Gazette published an article in reference to his visit and in vestigation, of which the following is an extract: ‘‘There is at present a movement in the United States to compete with Ju lian in silk culture, which is one of the principal sources of this country’s rev enue. America is a wealthy country to have a rival in anything and has shown sufficient power to materially affect some of the big industries of Great Britain. “There was a time when the United States had to depend chiefly on Great Britain for iron and steel and many other manufactured goods, but the vig orous protectionist policy of the Amer icans has made a vast change. “Some of the southern states have for years competed in the rice growing business, and America bids fair to at tain in course of time a position of pre dominance in that as in corn and flour. “If now she is to do the same with silk it will lie a far more serious mat ter to Japan than the absolute loss of Korea could be. It would not profit Japan to dominate half tb’e territory of Asia and lose all her trade. Her silk is more to her than her continental am bitions. The menace of her staple in dustry is a greater danger than the Russian.” CHEMICAL ANALYSIS Reveals That “Pe-ru-na is Calculated to Tone up the System, Restore the Func tions and Procure Health.” SO SAYS PROF.

Miller, lato Professor of Chemistry and Botany of the High School of Ypsilanti, Mich., writes from 8:127 N. Clark Street, Chicago, 111., as follows: “As several of my friends have spoken to me of the favorable results obtained through the use of Peruna, especially in cases of catarrh, I examined it most thoroughly to learn its contents. “I found it composed of extracts of herbs and barks of most valuable medicinal qualities combined with other ingredients, delicately balanced, calculated to tone up the system, restore the functions and procure health. “/ consider Peruna one of the most skillfully and scientifically prepared medicines, which the public can use with safety and success.”—-PROF. L. J. MILLER, ** Build* up th«i System.** ^ Hon. Joseph H. Ridgev. c- a of the American Ami-Treut ; ix. writes the following letter fr 1.1 Grand Centra! Hot 1, Ft. I’ d. ' . n. “It is with griit pie.; eire that I dorse Peruna as v an honest medi- 1 cine, competent ' to do all it’ claims. I have I used it several \ times and know of nothing that cures so com- ’ pletely, and at the same time builds up the system. “I have rec ommended it to a number of my friends and always feel that I do them a service for I know how satisfactory the results invariably are. I only wish every family had a bottle—it would save much sickness and doctor bills.”—Joseph H. Ridgeway. “ Feci Better Than for Flvo Year*.** Mr. James B. Taylor, Roberts, Ind., writes: “I am at the present time entirely well. I can eat anything I ever could. I took five bottles of Peruna, and feel better now than I have for five years. I have doctored with other doctors off and on for fifteen years, so I can recom mend your medicine very highly for stomach troubles. I take great pleasure in thanking you for your free advice and Peruna.”—James B. Taylor. “I Enjoy my Meals ns I Used to.** Mr. J. W. Pritchard, Wolf Lake, Tnd^ writes: “I am pleased to say that I have been cured of catarrh of the stomach by Pe runa. I could hardly eat anything that agreed with me. Before I would get half through my meal my stomach would fill with gas causing me much distress and unpleasant feelings for an hoar or two after each meal. But, thanks to your Peruna, I am now com pletely cured, and can eat anything I want to without any of the distressing symptoms. I can now enjoy my meals as I used to do, and it is all duo to Dr. Hartman and his wonderful medicine, Peruna. “It has been one year since I was cured, and I am all O. K. yet, so I know I am cured.”—J. W. Pritchard. Dyspepsia is a very common phase of summer catarrh. A remedy that will cure catarrh < f one location will cure it anywhere. Peruna cures catarrh wher ever located. That it is a prompt and permanent cure for catarrh of the stomach the al>ovo letters testify. If you do not derive prompt and satis factory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case and ho will bo pleased to give you his valuable ad vice gratis.

A Kentucky distiller who was in Louisville recently on his way home after a trip east is telling a story at the expense of Justice John M. Harlan of the supreme bench, says the Louisville Courier-Journal. “While 1 was in Washington,” he said, “I met (he fa mous jurist at a reception. The hostess was serving the punch and rallied the Justice about Ids failure to drink more than one glass. He replied that he felt disloyal when he drank ‘his - other than straight. He took a second, however, saying that lie did not have any of the genuine at that time. I sent him up a case of my best the next day. One Sun day morning I attended the Presbyte riiin church in Washington where Jus tice Harlan is an elder. The church is an old one, and long steps lead.up to the entrance. I was standing on the outside after the service when Justice Harlan started down the steps. In a voice that could be heard a square he shouted to me, That was fine!’ and then, remembering where he was, he added hastily, ‘The sermon, I mean.’ ” I > unlHli«-«l For liiMninK n rtiilil.

Fancy waists are always in demand, and come to us each season in fresh and charming styles. Eton and bolero jackets have not yet been cast aside. They are to ap pear this spring and the eton is cer tainly prettier with the short walking skirt than the three-quarter length coat is. Very smart gowns are made of linen goods, especially in the light shades of blue. Some of the new organdies have lovely flower designs in most natural colors on pale tints or white grounds. The new shirt waists continue to show the long drooping shoulders. The fancy ones are tucked, shirred, embroidered, plaited or lace trimmed.
