When one notices the difference in the average People of England and. America regarding their diet and, digestive abilities some natural inquiries come up. What does the Englishman eat that gives him such good digestion, and what is the Treason for so much dyspepsia among Americans? Rudyard Kipling makes out a “ple belt” through New England, and says its pathway is strewn with dyspeptics. The American's love for lard-loaded pastry 1s probably the cause of some trouble, but the apparently harmless coffee ts without doubt the father of more stomach troubles in America than any other item of food or drink. Great Britain consumes about 30,000,000 pounds of coffee annually, while America disposes of something like 330,000,000, nearly or quite eleven times as much. Analytical chemistry discovers the same poisonous alkaloids in coffee as are found in strychnine, mor- phine, tobacco and whisky. These slight poisons taken daily, accumulate until the effect on the nerves and stomach is pitiable with some people (who are peculiarly susceptible to polsons); the doses are continued from day to day without knowledge of what is #0 surely destroying the power of nerves and stomach. Ii is a trial to give up coffee, but a new beverage has made its appearance on the market which 1s so like Java coffee in its deep seal brown color and assuming the rich golden brown of thick Mocha when cream is added, that lovers of coffee who are denied its use because of the effects can adopt this new food drink freely. The change In taste Is #0 slight that many do not discover that any change s been made. The new product fs called Postam, and it is asserted by the manufacturers, the Postum Cereal Co., Limited, Battle Creek, Mich., that ft consists wholly and solely of wheat and other cereals, carefully cooked and roasted in different wi When the parts are mixed or blended a perfect breakfast beverage, a true health coffee, results, which contains the nourishing and healthful — pro ties of the grains intended by nature for man’s subsistence. It is worthy the trial of any one who has trouble with coffee or who desires to regulate thelr habits with due regard to health and longevity, There is but one genuine original Postum Cereal coffee, with a multitude of imitations offered as “Just as good.” PACKERS ORGANIZE. Unite for Protection Against Euro- pean Trade. Chicago packers, exporters and provision dealers have united in an association for self-protection against Europeah trade hos- tility. Especially in Germany and several cantcns in Switzerland antagonism to American products. has assumed such pro- porticns that something must be done and accerdingly about sixty interested business men met in arbitcation room of the board of trade. E. J. Martyn of Armour & Co. was made chairman, and S. D. Underwood, secretary. See a eee P BY THE KAISER. A Table Showing the Naval Strength of Various Countries. In the German reichstag yesterday the president, Baron von Buol-Berenberg, an- nounced that the emperor had presented the reichstag with four tabular statements, drawn up with his own hand, dealing with the condition of the navies of Germany, France, Russia, the United States and Japan, and that he intended to thank his taajesty in behalf of the house.

The purposes of the investigation--were to de- termine to what extent, if any, women were superseding men, to show the conjugal con- dition of women who work, compare the relative efficiency of men and women and show the wages each sex receives. Information was secured from 1,067 estab- lishments of various kinds, in thirty states, and employing 148,367 persons, a number large enough to insure. that the data col- lected was thoroughly representative. The complete data sought was obtained from only 931 establishments. x Comparisons are confined strictly to the extent of employment and wages in 1895-96, or “present period,’ with the conditions which pertained some year (termed “‘for- mer perioG”) antedating the present period by at least ten years. The 931 establish- ments employed 64,560 persons in the for- mer and 108,648 In the present period. Of this number, in the first period, 26,479 were males eighteen years of age or over, as against 43,195 in the second; and 4.175 males under eighteen, as against the second. In the first period 27,163 w females eighteen -years or over, and 6,7- females under eighteen, as against 45,162 and 12,751, respectively, in the present period. Male employes eighteen years or over in- creased in the present period over the for- mer 63.1 per cent. Female employes of the same age increased 66.3 per cent. Maie employes under eighteen years increased 80.6 per cent. Female employes under eigh- teen increased 89.1 per cent. An interesting showing is made of the figures of the past three censuses concern- ing the employment of women. The pro- portion of females ten years of age and over employed in all occupations in the United States rose in its relations to the whole number employed from i4.68 per cent in 1870 to 17.22 per cent in 1890, while males decreased in proportion from $5.32 per cent in 1870 to 82.78 per cent in 1890. Few Married Working Women. For the present period, out of an aggre- gate of 79,987 women, 70,921, or 88.7 per cent, were single; 6, or 8.5 per cent, married; 2,011, or 2.9 per cent, divorced, and 244, or three-tenths of one per cent, unknown, The last census figures on this point are also analyzed. Of the 3,914,5 females ten years of age and over engaged in gainful pursuits in the United States in 1800, 69.84 per cent were single or their conjugal condition unknown, 15.16 per cent were married, 16.10 per cent were widowed, and 6.1%) per ‘cent were divorced. A com- parison of the census figures with these resulting from the investigation of the de- partment can only be made with certain limitations, as the former relate to all fe- males productively employed, while the latter relate chiefly to manufacturing es- tablishments where wamen are employed to a large extent. aa) ST In 456 of the establishments canvassed the agents secured data‘as to the rela- tive efficiency of women and children and of men working at tHe’ sie occupations. Of 782 instances in wHigh, ten and women work at the same occupation and per- form their work with, the ‘same efficiency, men receive greater pay or 76.1 per cent of the instan men receive greater pay in 12), or 16.5 per cent, while in fifty-eight instances, or 7.4 per cent, they receive the same pay for the same work. : Men Get More: Pay. The men receive 50.1/per gent greater pay than the women in the 595 instances in which they are given greater pay, while the women receive but 16.8 per cent greater pay in the 129 instances in which they are paid higher wages. @wtzof the 228 in- stances in which men avia"¢hildren (persons under eighteen years of age) work at the same occupation with a like degree of effi- ciency, men receive greater pay in 182, or 79.8 per cent of the instances, and children receive greater pay in twenty-four, or 10.5 per cent,while in twenty-two instances,or 4 per cent, they receive the same pay for the same work, performed with the same degree of efficiency. The men receive 57.7 per cent greater pay than the children in the 182 instances in which they are paid more, while the children receive but 8.6 per cent greater pay in the twenty-four fustances in which they are paid higher wages The main reason given for tl._ employ- ment of women and girls is usually that they are better adapted for the work at which they are employed. Other reasons are that they are more reliable, more easily controlled, cheaper, more temperate, more easily procurable, neater, more rapid, more industrious, less liable to strike, learn more rapidly, etc. On the other hand; the rea- sons for their opinion given by those who did not believe that there was any ten- dency for the employment of women to increase in their industries were that very often women who are better adapted and cheaper are unreliable; that their physical strength is inadequate for heavy work; that machinery is gradually displacing them, ete. Oceupations of Women. Other tables give the date when women were first employed in each establishment and the occupations at which they were employed, the hours of labor worked in establishments reporting, a list of occupa- tions followed by women and giris as dis- covered by the investigation, and the wages in detail of men, women and children in ail the establishments comprehended in the in- vestigation. The commissioner takes occasion to call attention to the varied work now performed by his department. Originally preparing only annual reports, it now issues, in ad- dition to these publications, which contain the results of the more extensive Inve&tiga- tions carried on by the department, special reports, of which eight have been issued, giving the results of exhaustive special studies of social and economic questions, and a bi-monthly bulletin of something over 100 pages giving the results cf brief, original inquiries of foreign and domestic official statistics, current labor news, and the decisions of courts affecting laws re- lating to labor. The work now being performed by the department relates to an investigation of the effects of machinery upon labor and the cost of production, a compilation of wage statistics in the leading countries of the world, an invesfigation of the Hquor problem in its economic aspects, un inquiry in collaboration with the state’ labor bureaus concerning the municipal owner- ship of gas, water and electric plants; an investigation in the economic con- ditions of Jtalians in Bhiéago, anda pre- liminary: investigation gf tke economic pro- gress of the negroes irithix country.

The Senate spent the greater part of yes- terday afternoon in executive session, de- bating the Anglo-American arbitration treaty. The entire time was consumed by Senators Turpie and Morgan, the former in advocacy of, and the latter in opposition to, ratification. No action was taken on any amendment or on any part of the treaty, and but little appreciable progress was made. The session opened with Senator Tvrpie’s speech, which was a reply to Senator Mor- gan’s attack upon the treaty, and a de- mand for its ratification by the Senate without any amendment. He opposed the amendments made by the committee en foreign relations as useless, and as having a tendency both to weaken the treaty and to render it inharmonious in construction. He laughed at and held up to ridicule Sen- ator Morgan's fears of the effect of the ac- ceptance of the treat ying that so astute a man as wes the senator from Ala- bama should not fear to be led into a trap set b Inglend. He declared that the United States as a nation was big noun to be perfectly independent and feariess in such a matter, and said we ought to an example to other nations in all matters looking to the promotion of the reign of peace, which was the paramount purpose of the pending agreement. He contenJed that the perfection of the treaty would have the effect of preventing such war pani as those which followed the excitement over Venezuela, as the existence of a treaty providing for the submission of all qu ms to arbitration would be both a guar- antee against war with England and a safeguard in case of war with other coun- tries. He also urged that in case it was found that the enforcement of the terms of the treaty involved the Monroe doctrine and the Nicaragua canal, the question could then be taken up by Congress and acted upon as effectively as at present. At the conclusion of Mr. Turpie’s re- marks Senator Morgan took the floor and went over the ground which he had before discussed, paying more particular attention to the points made by Senator Turpie, with reference to the Nicaragua canal. He ¢ clared that under the terms of the treaty, and unless specifically protected by amend- ment, and especially the abrogation of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, the canal would be subject to arbitration. Mr. Morgan also pointed out the influence which England was exerting in the Central American states, and declared that the Senate of the United States must protect the interests of this country. He replied to Mr. Turpie’s attitude, and said that if the Indiana sen- ator was such a man of peace as he now professed to be, he had created a very falsc impression in his attitude on the Cuban question. At the close of Mr. Morgan's speech Mr. Teller made a motion to have ceriain cor- respondence which had been sent in with the treaty made public. This correspond- ence has been printed some time, and the facts it contained were published by the Associated Press before the treaty was sent to the Senate. The motion was with- drawn for the present, Senator Teller say- ing that he would renew it at the next ex- ecutive session. Senator Sherman took no part in yester- day’s discussion, but he told several sen- ators that he was exceedingly anxious to have the question disposed of as spee@ily as possible. He said that he was contem- plating asking the Senate soon to fix a day by unanimous consent for a vote. It is the general opinion that the request will not now be acceded to. -—_____ ‘THE CANADIAN COMMISSIONERS. They Return Home Satisfied With the Cordiality of Their Reception, Messrs. Cartwright and Davies, the Cana- dian cabinet ministers, who have been here for a week consulting leading men of this country on the question of closer trade relations between the United States and Canada, left today for their homes, well satisfied with their visit and with the cordiality with which they have “been re- ceived. In their report to the Dominion govern- ment, the commissioners will recommend the formation of a commission to make this inquiry, and they hope that similar action will be taken by the government of the United States. Commissioner Cartwright, speaking of the results accomplished, said: “We return very well pleased with the reception given us and impressed by the frank and cordial manner in which gentle- men on both side of politics were prepared to discuss the question of trade relations. ‘We had no notion whatever of making a reciprocity treaty or interfering with the tariff in general at the present time, nor any idea that the tariff bill now being formed by the ways and means committee would be in any way altered by reason of our visit. We are also impressed with the desirability of more frank and cordial in- tercourse between the leading men of Canada and gentlemen on this side of the line, and are strongly of the opinion that such intercourse would tend to remove any misunderstanding and bring about a closer state of feeling between the two countries.” ————___+ 4 DEPEW CHOSEN CHAIRMAN.
