THE CANAL AND SOUTH AMERICA a j As the Panama Cans, nears comple- ® : tion, the possibilities of trade expansion in South America are receiving a ' great deal of attention by all the great nations of the world.' It could hardly ® be otherwise. The South American republics are all in an early stage of ' development and have a future big * with promise. There are no worn-out * j countries south of the canal. In none ! of them have the vast natural resources . of stored-up wealth been beavily drawn 1 : upon. It remains for Alie future to dis- r | close the possibilities of the great southern continent and the older countries ^ i are looking ahead with a view to participating in the material profits thereof. 1 ' Take Brazil, for example. The area * ! of that country is greater than that of the forty-eight States of our Union. It \ is twice the size of India with its enor1 mouB population, and" fifteen times as ' | large as Franca It is stated that 1 j nearly all of that vast domain can be j utilized for settlement. The eastern part ^ j is suitable for cultivation and has great ^ mineral deposits. To the west is that | immense region drained^by the Amazon j which has scarcely been touched by civj ilized man. There are no deserts and 1 I t he present population is confined to ' the coast strip and neighboring valleys, and a few inland districts like those in 1 which $200,000,000 worth of coffee Is 1 raited annually A broad tropical region | ' adjoins long reaches that are subtropical, i and then temperate, a country to produce sugar, coffee, cattle, cotto^ rubber j and fine timber on an jmmeiae scale Yet Brazil's total population is but : 20.000.000, about seven to the square mile Not much over a third can be classed as while. Immigration continues from Portugal and Spain, with some from Italy and Germany The Indians number 2,000,000 and Indian half-breeds 1.700.000 Brazil has absorbed 2,700,000 negroes, and mulattoes and quadroons

' estimated at 5,000,900. Not over L ,000,000 are entirely free from negro or Indian blood. The nation has been a republic for twenty-two year*, but it ti has carried itself fairly well under a fed- p era! constitution modelled on that of the >■ United States. It has had revolts and o phases of civil war, but has handled them S successfully. With half the energy shown by the people of this country the e white population .of Brazil would grow v by leaps and bounds. The great rivers f, invite commerce through* a vast region o now occupied by savages, where both p soil and climate offer unlimited possibilities. , t What is true of Brazil in the way of t undeveloped resources is also true in o somewhat • lesser degree of Argentine, ■ Chilli, Peru, Bolivia and the other Latin- r American republics of South America. I The Panama Canal will open a new com- o mercial era in all those countries that will mark an epoch in their advancement I and prosperity. It should also mark an s epoch in the trade relations between i them and the United States. — W.

' APPALACHIAN FORESTS 1 1 More than .J00 thousand acres have been acquired for national forest pur- 1 poses in the southern Appalachians and - White mountains, of which considerably i more than half was secured during 1913. i These lands are being protected against > fire and the work of the government has i greatly strengthened local sentiment s against forest fires. Some 250 miles Of l trail, to help in fire control, were comi pleted during the year.

Prevalence of leprosy in eonUnental United State, has reached the proportions of a national problem, according to Dr. Rupert Blue, Surgeon -General of the United States Public Health Dr. Blue urges the eetabliahment, either by the Government or by pit- j vate philanthropy, of a national home lepers — a leprosarium— for the care . ol all reported cases in the United State* It ia estimated there are now be350 and 400 cases of leprosy in the United State*. In 1912, 146 were officially reported. Only eighteen States and the District of Columbia require reporting of leproay. There ware in the United States and possessions ,8,824 officially reported cases. "Leprosy is far more common in the United States than ia generally known," said Dr. Blue. "On account of the cammunicability of leprosy and its mutilateffects on individuals affected, the of the disease in any community is a matter for concern. "Leprosy ia known to exist in many States and in all of our island possessions. Scarcely a week passes that the Public Health Service does not receive a report on the discovery of one or more new cases in continental United States. 'The disease has increased so that two states — Massachusetts and Louisana — have organized leper colonies, while a number of States "have lepers isolated under various conditions.

"While the leper may be in no way - responsible for his condition, be is shunned by all society as a thing unclean. He can<t get. work; he is a menace alike to his family and the community in which he lives. j Laundries operated by people from j countries where this dreadful disease is j.

FOR FLETCHER'S O ASTORIA j ~ THE HIGH COST OF LIVING « The cost of living stubbornly refuses to go down. On the contrary, it is still on the advance, according to a bulletin just issued by the Federal Bureau of Labor Statistics. Of the staple articles of food only sugar, flour and cornmeal show a decline in prices for the year I ending August 15th last. "Comparing • i retail prices on August 15, 1913, with j 1 prices on the same date in 1912," says j l the report, "twelve of the fifteen j I articles for which quotations are given j i ' advanced and three declined in price. | ' * Potatoes advanced 20 per cent,, bacon j i advanced 18.8 per cent., amoked haip advanced 17H per cent., eggs advanced | 12.6 per cent., round steak advanced ] ' 115 per qent., sirloin steak steak ad vane- , ' ed 10.2 per cent., pork chops advanced - 9 J per cent., hens advanced 8.7 per cent., j lard advanced 8.1 per cent., rib roast ; advanced 7.9 per cent., butter advanced ; 6.7 per cent, and milk advanced 2.7 per : cent. Sugar declined 7.9 per cent., wheat flour declined 55 per cent, and . cornmeal declined 2.7 per cent." As 1 compared with the average price . of ' foodstuff! from 1890 to 1900, the cost of living for the past year shows advances ranging from 139 per cent, on bacon to 41.9 per cent, on butter— an average of some 75 per cent, on fifteen staple articles. Not very encouraging, this, but let ns bear in mind the Democratic promise of relief when the new e tariff bill gets in its work. If the; coming year witnesses- any considerable improvement, well and good. If not the people will want to know the reason why, and they will be very insistent about it. — W. J. Pre68. FORESTRY NOTES j Canada cuts about 2 million cords of) pulp wood annually, about half of which ! is exported for manufacture in Uniti'l States. There arc 55 spcrics of oaks in the j United States, about evenly divided be- j • tween the east and the west. The I eastern species and particularly white ' oaks are the most valuable. The bureau of forestry of the Philip- ) pine Islands will send tropical timbers to the U. S. forest service so that their suitability for fine furniture veneers may be ascertained. Wood block paving, tried and discarded in many cities of the United States thirty years ago, is now coming back into marked favor, due to improved methods of treating and handling blocks. i DODGING PROMOTION ' There ia a chafing dish period for every college girl; but when the time eome* for the promotion to the higher position hard by a grand square cooking stove, most of the graduates prefer to toot the alarm whistle on a limousine. — Dallas News.
