Astonishing Statlsties Which Shew tha Health and Appetite of tha American Pcopla. If the strength of a country be measured by tbe abundance and nutritive value of its food, then the United States stands easily at the head of the dominant nations of I the world. Not only can the far j liters, the meadows and the or ■ chards supply the needs of our | own citizens, hut there is left an immense surplus to be shipped to other countries. Take wheat, for example, one of the leading staples. During the past ten years the nation's wheat crop has averaged about 465,000,- 000 bushels, ranging from less than 400,000,000 bushels in 1593 to over 600,000,000 two years earlier. The average yearly exports of this wheat for the same decade were 140,000,000 bushels, leaving 325, 000,000 for home consumption. Excluding the wheat used for seed and for purposes other than human food, the present consumption is estimated to be a little less than one barrel of flour per capita, or 70,000,000 barrels for the nearly 75,000,000 population. That means an annual co i-umption of 14,000,- 000,000 pounds of flour—a bulk which, put into a single receptacle, would require a barrel twice the height of Washington monument and correspondingly big in circum ference. Were all this flour made into bread it would yield 20,000,- 000,000 pound loaves. Reversing the metaphor of the sermon on the mount and “giving bread for a stone,” these loaves would pave a roadway 36 feet wide and extend ing around the world. If bakery wagons were loaded each with tooo of the loaves, 20,000,000 would be needed to move the bread. They would make a pro cession over 60,000, miles long, or eighteen abreast from ocean to ocean. Of course, not all the flour is made into bread, since millions of pies, cakes and other products of the cook's art comes from these 70,000,000 flour barrels. Last year the farms of the coun try raised wheat sufficient to sup ply this enormous demand at home, besides sending 143,000,000 bushels to other countries. Of this export two-thirds went to Great Britain and less than a tenth to the rest of Europe. Six bushels in too went to our neighbor on the north, and more to the other American countries. Australia and Asia took 10,000,000 bushels and Africa 4,000,000 bushels. But un less the nation’s farms yield a larger wheat crop less will be ex ported in the future. At the pre sent rate of consumption the in creased population will demand the entire product in another de cade. The American corn crop is about four times as large as that of wheat, and some 1,700,000,000 bushels remain for consumption in our own country, 5,000,000 bushels of which remains with Pennsyl vania. The usual yield of rye is 28,000,000 bushels, very little of which is exported. But the bar ley and rye are largely reduced to fluid form before the American consents to take them into bis stomach. Some 15,000,000 bushels of buckwheat enter each year into the composition of our pancakes. The exact amount of these vari ous grains used directly for human food can not be determined; but probably another 6,000,000,000 ; pounds must be added to the wheat , flour, making a total of 20,000,000,- 1 000 pounds used each year as food. ; Large as this seems, in the aggre gate it is less than three-quarters i of a pound a day to each person— i not a very ample meal in itself, but fully sufficient when taken ' with the abundant varieties of . other foods. Another favorite food of the Americans is the potato. Its aver age crop in recent years has been about 225,000,000 bushels. The export and import trade in this vegetable is insignificant. 1 Sweet potatoes are also a favor ite food, some 43,000,000 bushels being needed for the annual con sumption. The yield of peas is 6,000,000 bushels, of beaus 3,000,- 000, and of onions 2,500,000 bushels. Over half a million bushels of onions are imported, most of which are of choice Span ish and Bermuda varieties. Three hundred million pounds of rice are used during the year, one-half of which comes from other countries. This is only aliout 4 pounds a year to each person, against 10 pounds in Great Britain, 14 in Italy, 300 in Japan and 547 in the Indian province of Bombay. Americans are drinkers as well as eaters. Last year they used 725,000,000 pounds of coffee and 110,000,000 of tea. At the aver age strength the coffee in the cups would measure 1,200,000,000 gal lons and the tea 1,100,000,000 gal lons. To these must be added beer, 1,200,000,000 gallons; wines, 25,000,000, and distilled spirits, \ such as whiskey, brandy and rum, 90,000,000 gallons. This gives a total of over 3,600,000,000 gallons, or about forty-eight gallons for each man, woman and child. If we add the cocoa, “soft" drinks, mineral waters, etc., the total, not including plain water used for drinking purposes, is easily swelled to 4,000,000,000 gallons, or more than a gallon a person per week of liquids other than clear water. On the average a person drinks his own weight of these drinks every three months. All told, the consumption of solid food by this one nation dur ilg the year amounts in its raw state to some 90,000,000,000 pounds. The Churches. Baptist —Preaching by the pas tor, F. W.

The packers at the battle of San tiago de Cuba were all heros. Their heroic efforts in getting am munition and rations to the front saved the day. P. E. Butler, of pack-train No. 3, writing from Santiago de Cuba, on July 23d, says: “We all had diarrluca in more or less violent form, and 1 when we landed we had no time to see a doctor, for it was a rush and 1 rush night and day to keep the 1 troops supplied with ammunition and rations, but thanks to Cham- 1 berlin’s Colic, Cholera and Diar | rhuea Remedy, we were able to ' keep at work and keep our health; in fact, I sincerely believe that at one critical time this medicine was i the indirect savior of our army, I for if the packers had been unabie !to work there would have been no way of getting supplies to the front. There were no roads that a a wagon train could use. My com rade and myself had the good for tune to lay in a supply of this medicine for our pack-train before we left Tampa, anti I know in four cases it absolutely saved life.” The above letter was written to the manufacturers of this medicine, jthe Chamberlain Medicine Co., Des Moines, lowa.

Hall’s Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the pa tient strenghth by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work.
