American Awarded Medal
On a Rupture Device
Mr. F. J. Stuart, an American residing
in St. Louis, was recently awarded a
medal and diploma showing certificate
of merit of the first class, by a London
Institute. Mr. Stuart is inventor of the
STUART PLAS-TR-PAD for rupture.
Letters patent have been granted by
many governments on this form of
Hernia support, and medicine applica
tor. The purpose of this support is to
securely hold the rupture in place, and
also supply a soothing and healing
remedy thereto, which will be taken up
and absorbed by the pores to heal and
relieve the parts of pain. When pat
ent was granted in Great Britain, Mr.
Stuart also obtained the Medal and
Diploma. Truss wearers will no doubt
appreciate an invention of such ex
ceeding worth as to merit such notice.
By addressing Mr. Stuart at St. Louis,
Mo., those interested will probably be
furnished full information.

This Furnace prevents all danger of
open fires so often experienced on
windy days, endangering the lives of
women and children, particularly. It
is made of %-inch Boiler Steel and is
exceedingly durable. Is intended for
boiling clothes, cooking feed for stock,
rendering lard; in fact, for any purpose
where a brass or iron kettle is used.
It is safer, more convenient and will
outlast the ordinary brick oven. Is
movable to any place where needed, in
the yard, to the pen, or wherever it will
be most convenient. It will boil water
with 1-3 the fuel in % the time that is
required for an open fire, and from this
point alone will pay for itself in a
short while. The cost price is low
enough to put it within reach of every
body. Call at your nearest hardware
dealer and examine. If your dealer
does not handle these furnaces, write

World - Wide Contributions to the
Comforts of American Homes
HE contributions which people
of other parts of the world
are making to the comforts
and requirements of homes in
II
the United States are quite as in
teresting as the subject of last week’s
discussion, regarding the articles
which producers in the United States
had contributed to the comforts of
homes in other parts of the world.
Our tea, our coffee, our corks,our
bananas, our camphor, our licorice,
our pepper, nutmegs and other spices,
our silk, some of our cotton, a con
siderable part of our wool and,
strange as it may appear, some part
of the onions, potatoes, and cheese
consumed in the United States are
brought from other countries and in
many cases from the opposite side
of the globe and out of the way parts
of the world.
Few people would suppose, for
example, that this great agricultural
country imports onions, or potatoes,
or clover seed, or honey; yet the
value of onions imported in 1907 and
1908 was nearly a million dollars
in each year, and they came from
Egypt, Australia, Japan, the Canary
Islands, Uruguay Cuba, the British
West Indies, Bermuda, Canada, Mex
ico, and Spain. Os potatoes more
than 3 % million dollars’ worth were
imported in 1909, the largest con
tributing country being Scotland with
over 1 million dollars’ worth, Ireland
and Great Britain, each three quar
ters of a million dollars’ worth, and
the remainder largely from European
countries and, in smaller quanties,
from the British West Indies, Aus
tralia, and even China and Japan.
Pepper, of course, is not produced
in the United States and it is not sur
prising, therefore, that 2 million dol
lars’ worth is imported annually,
much of it from the Dutch East In
dies, although largely accredited to
the Straits Settlements, the southern
most point of eastern Asia, to which
the merchandise is transshipped from
the Indian Islands, known a century
ago as the “Spice Islands;” while
smaller quantities come direct from
Netherlands, the country which has
for so many years administered the
government of those islands and con
trolled largely their lines of produc
tion. Nutmegs, of which the impor
tations amount to a quarter million
dollars a year, are also drawn chiefly
from the “Spice Islands,” or the
Dutch East Indies
One would scarcely expect that
such an agricultural country as the
United States would find it neces
sary to import clover seed, but the
quantity imported runs as high as
20 million pounds a year, chiefly
from Germany and in small quanties
from France, Italy, and Scotland.
Sausage casings, which we would
scarcely expect to see imported into
a country slaughtering food animals
in such large numbers, are imported
to the value of 2 to 3 million dollars
a year, by far the largest contributor
being England, from which the im
portations in 1909 were over 1
million dollars, the remainder being
from widely scattered countries, from
Germany, Turkey in Europe, China,
Australia, and Turkey in Asia. Nat
ural gas is another article which we
would scarcely expect to see import
ed, yet the importations run as high
as $50,000 per annum, being piped
across the river from Canada at or
near Niagara Falls.
Os the more commonly used arti
cle of which other parts of the world
are the chief source, sugar is the
largest in value, its importations
ranging from 100 million dollars a
year from foreign countries and 70
million dollars a year from our own
Island possessions, Hawaii, Porto
Rico, and the Philippines. Nearly
all of that coming from foreign coun
tries is drawn from Cuba, which sup
plied us last fiscal year with 3
billion pounds valued at 93 million
dollars, of coffee, the importations
range from 60 to 75 million dollars
a year and in exceptional years as
high as 100 million. The bulk of
this comes from Brazil, though a con
siderable portion comes from Java,
Mexico, Central America, and the
northern section of South America,
and a compartively small quantity
from Africa. The tea importations,
which amount to from 12 to 18 mil
lion dollars a year, come chiefly
from Japa China, and India, much
of the latter, however, reaching the
United States byway of England.
One would scarcely expect to see
raw cotton imported into tht United
States in view of the fact that she
produces three-fourths of the cotton
of the world, but the value of cotton
imports ranges as high as 20 million
dollars a year, the bulk of it coming
from Egypt, through Mexico and
Peru contribute considerable quan
tities, even India China, the Dutch
East Indies and the British West In
dies make small contributions.
All of the raw silk used in the
United States in manufacturing the
150 million dollars’ worth of silk
goods turned out annually by our
factories is brought from other parts
of the world, chiefly from Japan and
China, though in smaller quanties
from Italy and France. To the 112
million dollars’ worth of hides and
skins imported last year, nearly every
grand division contributed. Os goat
skins alone the imports last year
amounted to 30 million dollars,
brought from such distant countries
as India, China, the Straits Settle
ments, Persia, Morocco the Belgian
Kongo, and Madagascar.

Uncle Sam must be paid to carry it to your door. You must send 25 cents to pay postage,
