The chief product here has been sponge and next to that, of late years, sisal for fibre. Tha growing of other products has been small, mainly because so many of the male population are engaged in the sponge industry, but there is also this factor, that the islanders have an exceptional tendency to buy foreign or imported food rather than accept the homegrown products, even when the latter are superior. For instance, women and children and some of the men grow sisal for fibre and clean it by hand, and spend the few cents they have earned in this laborious under- taking in the purchase of foreign foodstuffs that pay a duty of 25 per cent. This tendency has been en- couraged and made the most of by the merchants as it increased their trade, and also by the government as it gave so much more revenue, Sponge Export Stopped. In view of these facts, when the war in Europe began, the big sponge export_to England was entirely stop- ped and the fibre industry was also hit hard.

Tourist Business Fell Off. There was hope that the winter tourist business would offset some of the other losses, but-after a con- siderable expense in putting hotels and boarding houses in repair it was discovered that instead of increasing, the tourist business also fell off. Outside observers remarked that in the face of so much depression, thc uncomplaining spirit with which the islanders have faced the hardships has been remarkable. In addition to this, the people came forward with a grant from the treasury, some $75,- An Old, Family Cough Remedy, Home-Made Ensily Prepared— Costs Very Little, but is Prompt, Sure and Effective ' other home products that I'mow little sale for imports.

In respect to the local food prob- lem, it may be recalled that soon after the war began the governor of the islands called a mass meeting at the capital and advised the people tc go to the soil and grow foodstuffs. This advice was so well taken that a complaint is heard from the mer- chants that trade is dull, that the people have grown so much corn and there fis SURGEONS TO HOLD CLINICS IN BOSTON Sixth Annual Congress of Surgeons of North America Opens at Bay State Capital. who and Qct. 26.—Surgeons have won distinction at home abroad will conduct a number of clines arranged as a special fea- ture in connection with the sixth an- nual clinical congress of surgeons of North America, which opened here vesterday with an estimated attend- ance of 1,500, Attendance, it was explained, had been limited to this figure in order that all members present might witness operations in the various Boston hospitals during the meeting, which is described one at which things are done rather than said.
