HIE COUNTRY cnn well believe
that the United StateB Is about
to pass Into a period of unsur-

yesterday by Mr.' Benjamin of New
York.-. The Idle mills have resumed
and are running full time. After
looking over the country, business
men have bought heavily abroad
and the Importations for August
were the second greatest In history.
Newspapers, magazines and other
agencies of publicity are carrying 25
to 30 per cent more advertising than
last year, both local and foreign en
tering Into the increase. Old ad
vertisers have increased their space
and new ones have appeared. In
every part of the country building
activity has reached a high tide rec
" ord never before touched. New
York bank balances, an unfailing
barometer of the health or illness
of the country's business, never ap
peared more favorable. Such are
the omens Mr. Benjamin points to
and tbey are good ones,

the high water mark touched before
the panic of 19 07. There Is scarce
ly a line In which not only the, top
figures of that period have not only
been reached, but passed. It is par
ticularly noticeable in farm prod
ucts, which are peculiarly sensitive
to business conditions of the coun
try at large. In these there is re

the vast volume of gold pouring

ing district on the earth there is an
increased output. In this country
n 10 years Ihej circulation has risen

experience that great periods of gold
production have been invariably at
tended by unusual world prosperity.
The launching of capital enterprises,
the construction of great railroads,
great plants and great buildings, the
universal enlargement' of activities
and larger conceptions and exploita
tion In all fields of endeavor is the
product of such periods. Apart from
the question of how it may fare
with the average man, we may well
believe a great commercial, indus
trlaf'and financial movement has
begun In the United States and
that we are to witness, a period of
very marked business activity. v'

a population of 130,000, and Scat-

Many of them have
little or no food value, their cost
being many times what they are
worth In sustaining life. Observers
claim that the high mortality and
frail physiques among '.the poorer
classes is In part accounted for by
adulterated foods, rollktfncluded. By
chemical treatment, substances with
out life giving powers are made to
resemble, the genuine and are sold
as genuine on the- market. There
is u heavy profit In the industry, the
materials for the counterfeit cost

It is because of the Inordinate prof-
Its that the extraordinary spectacle
is often presented of opposition to
pure milk and other pure foods. It
Is a case wherein profit is played
