or other parts of the body of all unwel

total exports of American cotton
to Japan exceded 240 million pounds
and in 1914 were 177 million. Ameri
can cotton goods, on the other hand,
have been exported chiefly to Asia
and North America and in smaller
amounts to South America, Europe,
Oceania, and Africa, in the order
named. While Asia exceeded North
America as a market for cotton goods
made in the United States when the
aggregate for the last 25 years is con
sidered, North America is now the
leading market, that section of the
world having taken over 40 per cent
of the exports of the last fiscal year.
The following table shows in mil
lions of dollars the exports of cotton
and manufactures of cotton from the
United States in the fiscal years 1890
and 1914 and in the 25 years ended
with June 30, 1914, with particulars
showing the sections of the world to
which American cotton goods were
sent:
million dollars, being chiefly from
Egypt; while cotton manufactures
altogether during the same period
showed a total import value of 1,186
million dollars, represented in large
measure by laces, embroideries and
similar articles made in France, Ger
many, Switzerland, Belgium and the
United Kingdom.
The foregoing statements are ex
clusively from official reports of the
Department of Commerce.
WEEK IiTfINANCE
New York. —The financial position
grew stronger during last week. This
helped to improve the general business
outlook. Cash was returned in large
vadume to the banking centers and
emergency currency was rapidly retired.
Plans to open the federal reserve
banks Monday and the consequent low
ering of reserve requirements were pro
nounced factors in easing money rates.
Barge gold exports to Ottawa ac
companied the payment of New York
City’s maturing foreign obligations. This
resulted in a drop In foreign exchange
rates to well below the gold export point
for the first time since the war began.
Important steps were taken toward
removing restrictions on trading in se
curities and there was Increased hope of
an early re-opening of the stock ex
change, at least to dealings for cash.
The New York and New Orleans cotton
exchanges will resume operations Mon
day and local mjtal exchange already is
underway.
General markets showed sensitiveness
to rumors of peace. Enormous receipts
were also reported. Improved credit
facilities Imparted cheerfulness to the
steel trade but did not Induce fresh buy-
ing. Gross earnings of railroads show
ed severe shrinkage with the effect of j
cattle quarantines still to be determined.
Almost half of the excess cash re- j
sdrves reported by clearing house hanks ,
last week was lost this week. The heavy
outflow of gold to Canada caused a |
cash loss of about $7,200,000 and a da
crease in reserves from $15,915,000 to
$7,414,000. Longa again showed a mark
ed contraction.
Lime Starvation
Causes Tuberculosis
The Medical Record (New York) of I
December 18, 1909, contains an article on
“The Treatment of Pulmonary Tubercu
losis, Based on the Assump lon That the
Dietetic Cause of the Disease Is Lime
Starvation,” by Dr. John F. Russell, who
says: “The condition which Is recognized
as preceedlng the active development of
tuberculosis in the adult may be con
sidered as due to lime starvation. * * *
Among inorganic substances lime salts
appear to be of spt lal physiological Im
portance * * * but if the salts are not
In organic combination It Is difficult to
suppose that the cells can appropriate
them for food.”
Years of widespread use confirm us In
the belief that the success of Eck man’s
Alterative in cases of pulmonary tuber
culosis (consumption) and chronic throat
and bronchial troubles is due in laYge
measure to its content of lime, so com
bined with other ingredients as to be
easily appropriated by the cells.
Doubtless this has had much to do '
with the results obtained in many cases
of these affections, which appear to have ,
yielded to Eckman's Alterative.
As it contains no opiates, narcotics or |
habit-forming drugs, it is safe to try.
