AZORES AT A STANDSTILL
L Pepuntion Has Shown Little Change
H In Cast Century?Lost Trade In
HA Sugar and Tobacco.
Tlte population of the Azores Is
M about 245.000. the number of inhabiMR
tadts baring changed but little in the
laat century, and. if anything, having
^^H^Kbrntnished. This fact is probably due
^^BHKnore to various political and social
^^^^^mondltious than to climatic, agriculj^JH^wtral.
or other conditions of the
^^HHmlands. In the early days the PortuH^H^Hnese
literally "raised cane" on the
I^H^Halands. and established a large sugar
H^^^trade with England and other countries.
Tobacco and fruits were also
r produced In great quantities, our. wr.n
tbo discovery and settlement of Brazil
and other South American countries,
Portugal rather discouraged produey
tlOQ in the Aaores in order to aid her
colonies In South America. With the
sugar and tobacco trade snatched from
m them, the Asoreans began the cultlvaV
tien of the vine, and the making of
* wine and other liquors became one of
the chief industries of the Islands.
The population consists mainly of
Portuguese, Moorish, and Flemish settlers,
with e few negroes and a fair
sprinkling of English settlers.
Novel Apartment Building.
A San Francisco woman realty operator
has planned a novel building. Her
idea la to -ltlllie a steep blnff 350 feet
high. On it she proposes to erect a
series of apartments running in stairstep
fashion from the street down to
the water or San Francisco bay.
It is proposed to have each apartment
equipped with its own elevator
entrance, pergola and roof garden.

True, women's fashions are so immodest
as to shock the pure," said J.
roller Gloom. "The summers are also
I hotter and the winters colder than they
ever were before. Just as usual, the
country is -?oIng headlong to the dogs.
' Every town in America has more fools
and crooks snd gossips in it. In proportion
to its size, than any other town in
America. The poor are always growing
poorer and the rich growing ianer.
The end of the world is always at

fact, there la everlastingly something

Why Cotton Seed Brine Lower Pricej
Early in The Season
There are several reasons why cot
ton seed do and should sell for less
in the early part of the season. The)
are apt to contain more water 01
moisture than later in the season
and are consequently worth less t<
the oil miller. This is not usually i
large item in so far as the loss froir
the yield of oil and meal is concern
ed, but it is important because it i:
likely to cause the seed to damag(
by heating, unless properly handled
This not only makes it general 1}
necessary that the farmer markei
them promptly, but it forces them 01
the market and offers an opportuni
ty to the buyer to hammer down th<
price, as he can and does do, on ah}
product the marketing of which it
forced by any cause.
There is also another reason wh}
the first seed marketed may sell foi
less than they are actually worth
If the market for cotton seed pro
ducts, oil and meal, is.low or de
pressed, or if there is any unusua
uncertainty as to the future demanc
and prices of these products. th<
buyers of seed must buy at a suffi
ciently low price to protect them
selves from probable loss. In fact
there is always a tendency to pa}
even less than sufficient to make i
fair profit, in order to make them
selves perfectly safe.
In the early part of the season
therefore, the prices of cotton see<
products?oil, meal, hulls, and lin
ters?are notthe only factors oper
ating to determine the price recefve<
by the producer for his cotton seed

Continued Mrs. Anderson, "and I was

7 hardly stand it
i "My appetite had left me and I
was very weak. I managed to keep
7 going though, and I did my houser
work the best 1 could under the cir.
cumstances, but I never felt like do
ing anything.
"I finally Redded to try Tanlac
1 for this condition and I took two
1 bottles. The "tanlac gave me a good
V. appetite right away and built up my
- whole syfetem and restored my
- strength. I felt a great deal better in
, every way when the second bottle
7 was gone, and I quit taking Tanlac.
i The medicine relieved my nervous
ness, and when I took the last dose
I felt entirely different and strong
, and was again able to do my house1
work well. I am glad to praise Tan
lac, for I found it to be such a fine
- medicine."
