Cotton Yarn. The decrease in the im. port of Indian and Japanese cotton yarn is noted in the Shanghai trade repórt as the most salient feature of the cotton
trade at that port in 1911, and the statis- tica for the whole of China show that the total import of all kinds of cotton yarn was 248,018,800 lbs. in 1911, as against 301,329,600 lbs. in 1910.

Yunnan, and other provinces--describe an agitation carried on, with varying de grees of success, for the suppression of cigarette smoking. In many cases this movement has been encouraged by Pro- testaat missionaries, presumably on hygienic or ethical grounds; but the opposition on the part of the Chinese to the smoking of cigarettes seems to be chiefly based on the supposed economic disadvantages of consuming foreign goods in preference to native products, or even encouraging native industries nourished by foreign capital.
Foreign Clothing, Hats, Boots, Shoes, and Gloves. As might be expected, the statistics show a substantial increase in the value the articles under this head imported in 1911. Attention was called in last year's report to, the beginnings of s.revolution in Chinese dress, and one of the first obvious signs of the success of increase in the demand for foreign hats the political revolution was the enormous and caps, and to a lesser extent for foreign hoots and shoes, foreign hostery and underclothing, and even foreign suits of clothes. Japanese manufacturers had for in supplying the cheap cloth caps which several months a busy and profitable time
came into almost universal use in the larger centres of population in middle and southern China as the queue disappeared, and many Chinese factories have been established to cope with the demand.

The fact that Mrs. Taylor did not give up her work, and did not go for a change, is clear proof Phosferine prevented the nervous breakdown which her doctor said was certain unless abe guns up her duties. Mrs. Taylor is not the sort who gives up easily, although she was worn to a standstillere & Sours bays...Chanang with neurasthenia and sleeplessness, and realising that they change nor rast was possible, she concluded the only certain way to keep going was to supplement her vitality with Phosferite. The actual benefit Mrs. Taylor experienced within a few hours exceeded even the relief she Ann would result from Phosferine, every nerve certre in ber system began to rASUME its activity, thus promoting ber recovery with daily increasing rapidity. Now that all traces of nervous disorders are expelled, and she sleeps sounder and eats better than ever, Mrs. Taylor urges other exhausted workers not to give up, but employ Phosferine to generate a new supply of nerve force and feel for themselves how capable, vivacious, and happy- natured this new energy makes averyone.
Completely done with.
Mrs. K. E. Taylor, 69, Goldhawk Road, Chiswick, writes:-"The benefit I have received from Phosferine is almost incredible. I had been suffering for months from Neurasthenia, everything was a burden to me, bead pains and body pains were constant, I could not eat, neither could I sleep. I felt utterly ill and wearied out, and after struggling on for some time, I was told by my doctor there was nothing for it but to give up my situation or to go any for a change. For many reasons, either would have been my last wish. I remembered Phosferine had done me so much good to years ago in a case of neuralgia and weakness following maternity, and so I started your remedy again. I consider it has again worked miracles for me. I can eat and sleep well, and am able to perform my duties, which comprise not only household affairs, but brain work, with ease and pleasure."-April 24, 1912.
