SAVING ON IMPORTED ARTICLES.
SAVING ON IMPORTED ARTICLES. For the present purpose what we buy from abroad may be roughly divided into four classes- (1) Foodstuffs of first neces- sity, such as corn and meat; (2) Raw materials of industry, such as iron ore, wood, etc., and articles of necessity con- sumption in the home. (3) Luxuries, such as many kinds of fruits, wine, brandy, and tobacco, tea and coffee. (4) Other luxuries, such as silk goods, motor cars, etc. Under the first two headings such economies as are necessary (e.g., in meat) are desirable quite as much in the British grown or manufactured article as in the imported. The shortage of meat has become a cause of some anxiety, partly because of the effect on prices and partly because of the danger of depleting our own flocks and herds by the slaughter of breeding stock. Tea was consumed in 1913 to the amount of 6t pounds per bead of the population. In 1905 the consumption was ten ounces per head less than in 1918 so that 28 million pounds of tea might be saved by merely reverting to the standard of consumption of ten years ago. Sugar in 1913 was consumed to the extent of 821 pounds per head, or more than a pound and a half per person per week. This, of course, includes sugar taken in puddings, in jams and marmalade, and in confectionery and sweets; also all sugar used in the brewing and other industries. Although the food value of sugar is admit- tedly high, especially for children, it seems fairly certain that there is a great opportunity for econo- my here, and particularly for less eating of sweets, the most expensive form in which sugar can be taken. Ilt'il'IC.-ID ported wine exceed- ing in value three and a half million pounds was retained for consumption in the United King- dom in 1913. About a quarter of the total quantity was received from France, but, owing to their much higher average value, the total value of the wines imported from that coun try was more than half the total value from all countries. Tobacco.The net imports for 1913 were:— Unmanufactured 158,668,00,0 lbs., valued at ctG,5lH,000. Cigars: 1,586,000 lbs., valued at £ 1,069,000 Other manufactured tobacco ] ,622,OOOtJbs., valued at This represents a consumption of 3i ounces a week per head of the adult male population, taking the number of males over 16 at about 15 millions. A reduction of one ounce a week per head would mean a saving of two and a quarter million pounds sterling in the year.

IN BARMOUTH.
IN BARMOUTH. EVERY CLAIM IS BACKED BY LOCAL TESTIMONY. If the reader wants stronger proof than the following statement and experience of a resident of Barmouth whitt can it be ? On February 4th, 1914, Mrs E. Owen, of 6, Tai Isa Buildings, near St. David's Church, Barmoutb, said:—"My back was so bad some time ago that I could hardly stand uptight, and when in bed I could not rest, for the pain in the small of my back. I bad rheumatism in my arms and suffered with attacks of dizzi- ness and headaches. The kidney system was quite wrong painful and scalding in relief. I bad read about Doan's backache kidney pills so I sent for a box, and was very glad, to find that they did me a great deal of good. I had tried other things but nothing seemed to do me any good before taking these pills. I am pleased to say I am very much better now, and not troubled as I was. Doan's pills will always have a good word from me. (Signed) E. Owen." On March 29th, 1915-ovei- twelve months later—Mrs Owen said 11 Doan's pills certainly cured me, and I have been all right ever since, I am glad to say. Uric acid poison left in the system by weak kidneys causes lumbago, rheumat- ism, gravel, urinary disorders; makes you feel dull, heavy, tired and miserable, and leads to fatal disease if neglected. Doan's backache kidney pills act direct- ly upon the kidneys and bladder, bringing quick relief, and ensuring the poisonous uric acid and waste water being removed before they have time to set up disease or irritation in the body. Price 2/9 a box, 6 boxes 13/9, of all dealers, or trom Foster McClellan, Co., 8, Wells Street, Oxford Street, London W. Don't ask for backache or kidney pills,—ask distinctly for Doan's backache kidney pills, the same as Mrs Owen bad.
