SOMEVIEWS FROM JAMAICA Mr. Burke Talks About Cattle Disease and Trade. AN "UNDISGUISED DELUSION," Ottawa despatch Hays: The De- partment of Trade and Commerce was advised today that the Govern- ment of Jamaica had an order passed prohibiting the huportallon of cat- tle from Canada and the United Stn lex on account of foot and mouth disease being prevalent in the Ntw 'England Slates. A retort Wan received to -day at (Ito Trude and C'omtnerce Department front E. Eustuco Burke, Canada's Cuminercial Agent in Jamaica. Mr. Berko nays that two Ontario brands of flour are finding favor and a mar- ket of the Island. Ile reiterates the complaint against Canadians not en- deavoring to meet the requirements of tho trade by better methods of parking and studying the sizo of the packages. lu regard to butter, cheese, boots and shoes, there is not much complaint. A Halifax firm, he Hugs, meets all the rcquiremente of the butter trade and sends choioe creamery. 'The United States triads have raised the price of pork, and Canadian packers should get the trade, The sugar industry shows tastes of Improvment. The lack of better stettttship service with Can- ada is severely reit. There were fre- quently enquiries from Ontario and enebel: as to the metes for oraagoe and bananas, pmt owing to the high rate and the time it took to forward them nothing could be done. The tate wan prohibitive. 1Ie thought a service might be arranged with the Elder -Dempster people. At present the rete for a barrel of oranges w-ttn $1 to Halifax and only 60 cents to New York, and 77 cents to Mon- treal by New York. Fruit had, there- fore, to be shipped by New York and Boston. Ho melerstood that the Canadian Pacific had under cowed. elation the idea of running their own steamers between St. John and ,homiet. As for the present service, Mt'. Burke nays It In painfully anti- quated, an undlsguieed deluelon, and deplorably lacking in all modern equipment, an abeoluto failure," He soya that the movement for closer commercial relations with Canada Is endorsee an the island.

Tho reelect lots lately been discussed by n number of medical societies, 1'by- myoittns aro pretty generally agreed that the moderate coneumption of coffee is not 1njurloun and "moderate consumption" they decline ea one cup at breakfast, ono at noon and ono lin tiro evening.

Smokers Luo bettor off with coffee than without It, as telecom, being a ,t-reotle, weakens the heart action, wldie coffee, a stimulant, etrength- otre 1t, so that the heart of the smok- leg coffee Brinker does not vary, as a rule, from the heart of him who has neither the one habit nor the other. The smoker who does not drink coffee has usually a weak heart.
