EDITORIAL PAGE
JUST BEGINNING TO DEVELOP.
The Russian Emplra covering one
seventh of the land area of the glob
and only sparsely settled in spite of
its nearly 170,000,000 inhabitants,
offers an interesting subject for
study for both business men and
economics. This country today pre
sents a picture of economic develop
ment comparable wi»k that of the
United States of three or four gen
erations ago, in that Russia is now
chiefly a producer of the raw mater
ials derived from nature, such as
grain, timber, hides, and minerals,
and is just beginning to develop
manufacturing industries of import
ance. Its exports are almost en
tirely foodstuffs "and raw and semi
manufactured products, while it
imports all of the higher grades of
manufactures which its people re
quire.
The total value of the foreign
tiade of European Russia, in 1912,
according to officio.' figures, was
more than $1,200,000,000, In which
the United States participated to the
extent of only $53,000,000. Howev
er, the indirect trade between the
two countries passing through for
eign middlemen brings the value of
the sales of American products to
Russia to $80,000,000, and the ex
ports from Russiaa to the United
States to $30,000,000. Largely ow
ing to the lack of knowledge among
American business msn of the pos
sibilities of the Russian market,
the trade between the two coun
tr'es is on the threshold only of its
possible development. The mono
sraph en Russia just published by
the Bureau of Foreign and Domes
tic Commerce, of the Department
of Commerce, enittled "Handbook on
Russia", should therefore be of
special interest.
Thif book contains nearly 260
pages, with two maps, and Includes
a comparative description of the
economic situation iu Kuropeati Rus
sia, by Consul General John H.
Snodgrass, stationed at Moscow; re
views of the commerce of various
districts in 1912, by the American
consuls stationed in Russia; and a
very timely description of commer
cial and Industrial conditions in Si
beria, by Consul John F. Jewell,
stationed at Vladiostok. To those
who still regard that country as a
frozen wast.e the picture presented
by Mr. Jewell will be a revelation.
He compares Siberia today with
Canada of a generation ago, and
points out the possibilities of great
trade development that lie In the
great natural resources of the
country.

CURIOUS Bi.tADS.
Mads In Chains In the Balkans and
Laundered In China.
Bread is made in different shapes
and in dlffereut ways, according to the
taste of the various nationalities. Mr.
L. Lodian in Forest and Stream says:
"The bread of the Balkans, curiously
made in the form of chains, is sold
from the arms and necks of itinerant
pedlers. In tent life in Balkania the
detached links are often used for fun
at quoits or serve a more useful pur
pose In suspending temporary curtains
and awnings Then when the campers
ran out of provisions, they literally eat
their curtain rings! The Japauese
bamboo bread, so named from its
shape, is a somewhat similar product
It is sliced and sold in strings.
"The sun dried bread sheeting of cen
tral Asia looks much like chamois
leather and Is made up in pieces of
bed sheet size. It is compounded from
flour and raisin sirup and is highly es
teemed by coffee drinkers. In the
bazaars of the caliphates it Is fre
quently seen banging in place of awn
ings to shield the stalls from the sun.
"One of the strangest crackers comes
from Russia. It is kpown as fit r.he
mouth beg! and. besides being much
appreciated as a tea biscuit. Is quite
commonly used by merchants ignorant
of the three It's as a makeshift abacus
In counting mouey. a lower string of
ten serving for kopecks and an upper
string of the same number represent
ing roubles. More picturesque still Is
Its usage as an extempore ring for
marrying poor peasants with whom
tha gold is lacklug.
"Most singular of all, however, is the
peculiar pith bread of China, which, in
stead of being baked, is laundered out
In narrow strip:- with a hot Iron, much
in the manner that a collar receives
its finishing It Is made from the cen
tral tissue of the fatsia trees and is
valued highly by the citizens of the
•flowery republic' as a dainty cracker
to eat with their littie cups of watery,
unsweetened tea."

HELP you.
"Purola" Laxative Honey and TrtJ' I
Cough Syrup.
An agreeable combination, con
taining no opiate or harmful drugs,

this preparation over other cough

ative tendencies. By its gentle
action on the liver and bowls, it
eliminates thy waste from the syts
tem, and adjusts the su ;u-h lor a
better assimilation of the healing
qualities of curative itigreditn on
tained in the syrup. This together ,
with the soothing effects of the j
other remedial agents contained in i
combination, stamps it a very vulu-,
able remedy for coughs, colds, bron
chitis, croup, hoarsene 3, sore throat
and all diseases of the throat and
lungs. Prices 25c and 50c.
