Hut this condition of affairs suggests aonthcr question that Is frequently raised by people who are more, or less familiar with yacht racing, as well as by those whose. Interest In the sport Is more gen eral than specific, arid that Js, AVii Is It that there Is no such racing fof large yachts today ns there was twenty-five or thirty years ago? Such people recall the splendid fleet of lurge sloops nnd schooners that always appeared In the rnccs of tho New York Yacht club and the Seuwanhakn-Corlnthian Yacht club when they were held In the lower bay In tbe "SCs, and ask If Interest In yacht racing Is dying out. Interest In liicrrunlnK. The answer to the last question Is that there nro more actively interested in yacht racing today- than ever before and there aro ninny times more owners of racing cruft of one size or another than thero were in the years from 1SS) to 1830. when the large bouts were In the lime light. Hut the Interest has been trans., fcrred In a large measure from tho racing of largo boats to that of boats of medium ar small size. ' The expense of racing in tho larger classes today Is prohibitive, excepting to a very wealthy man. In the first place, the cost of building a large sloop or schooner Is several times us much us it was twenty-five or thirty years ago. This Is due in part to the higher cost of materials ami tho Increase In wages, but In a larger part to tho greater refinement and elaboration of construction and fit ting. One can go today to some of the bhlpyards in Maine, get plans and sped flcations fom a builder, use the same sort of timber' In construction as was used thirty years ago and finished in tho same style, and the cost of a boat would not be very greatly In excess of tho enrller cost. Hut no one today woulJ be satisfied with such a craft. Hy the same token it will cost more to furnish a homo toaay man u um mm ago, with probably only the samo num ber of pieces to serve the same purposes, but the same satisfaction would not be produced with the furniture of 1RS0. Besides tho first cost, the expense of running a larger yacht has increased enormously. Thirty years ago the regular crew of u largo sloop or schooner ac)it was tho smallest number of men that could get the boat under way and handle It under ordinary conditions. Kven In pleasure cruising the male guests of the owner were expected to tall onto tho main sheet or lend a hand In any tmergency. while In racing from half to three-quarters of the crew were ama teurs and friends of the owner. Today a large yacht In racing carries a full crew of paid hands, excepting for the "after guard" of two or three especially clever amateurs, and these do no work, except ing possibly to "spell" the owner If he bo the helmsman. And every man of thd paid crew expects to receive, and does receive, race money, from, $3 to $5 a day in addition to his regular wages, his board, or his "grub money." and his uniforms. Then the old boats raced with their ordinary canvas, but the boats of today must havo special racing Kail and duplicate outfits, at thai, expensively made. C l Inrrenneil. Thirty years ugo the owner of a large boat could enter a race at nn expense of ; 0 to 75 more than It would cost to go out for a day's sail, and that'sum would go mainly for entertaining the umateur crow and taking care of them away from home, while today the expense of a day's ' - m -.. V. . ...... Illa racing for tne owner oi a Irollta or Elena, taking Into consideration the crew's race money, the proportion of cost of racing sails, an allowance for damage, hauling out, etc., Is anywhere from JH to J1.000. That makes a sport for millionaires only. Take an ordinary boat of twenty years ago; say one of only forty-odd feet water line. Ita regular crew under ordinary conditions would have been two men. Just enough to raise the mainsail. It may have curried three, ono a qualified skipper, in order that tho owner.'s family could have the uso of the boat In tho middle of the week when father was busy downtown; one of tin three regulars was half sailor nnd half cook and steward. Hut this yacht never went cruising nny dlstanco from home without having on board at least two friends of the owner who were able, and very willing, to bear a hand in working tho ship, and Its racing allowance of crew was nlno men. five of whom, besides tho skipper, were amateurs. But tho disappearance of the amateurs from the decks of the large racing yachts la o ovldenco of waning Interest In tho hport. On tho contrary. It is Indirect evi dence of an lncreoso of interest, for tho young men of today of the cluss thut supplied tho amateur crews of old are tho owners and sklppeis of smaller racing boats, or go as crew In smaller craft belonging to their chums In their own stations in life. And of tho building of small yachts, and especially In the re stricted nnd one-design classes, thorn Is no end; nnd, moreover, It Is In the small boats that our boys and young men learn to bo real sailors; learn to take chances and to Judgo risks nnd learn to take the measure of the force of wind and sen. It Is easily demonstrated that Interest In yacht racing Is not declining. Just com pare the racing records of last season with those of even ten years ago. Where fifty starters then was a very' big and almost unheard-of fleet, seventy-five is an ordinary ono today, 100 Is not very big, and thero were as many ns ISO start ers in one day's racing during the last summer.

State How the llrrrlra Are CiiHItnteil, (Jntherril nml Marketed (JuleU nml Jtnrd Work In the Half a trillion barrels of cranberries are required to ssttsfy the nation's crav ing for Its favorite sauce. From tho swamps ot Wisconsin. New Jersey, and Massachusetts this amount wus marketed by Thanksgiving day. Tho crop Is" hand picked, there Is yet to be Invented tho successful cranberry harvester. Three-fifths of tho cranberry supply comes from Massachusetts, from &W bogs dlstiltmted the length of Cape Cod. In 1911 Capo Cod produced ST3.CC0 barrels. New Jetsey. 1M.OM and Wisconsin, SJ.Ortl. Tho harvest from scattered swamps In other localities Is compara tively small. Tho tip of Cape Cod. stretching Its sand dunes for twenty-flvo miles and slicing out a big pleco of tho Atlantio ocean to nmlso Massachusetts bay. Is dotted with cranberry bogs. Abbott Nlcli erson, for years one of the famous grow ers of the Cape, boss ot a scute of swamps, and who knows the red berry as no one else, gave mo employment on his Purk-lu-the-Woods bog near Orleans. I pinked cranberries, sorted them In the swamp, screened them In the bog shanty, rolled tho barrels up the bog bank, and piled them on a wagon hitched to a yoke of oxen. Tho day begun at ; a. m. a nt ended at 6 p. in. When wo knocked off work 1 collected my wages $1.C3. During tho three or four days that fol lowed I spent nearly that amount for liniment to rub on a sore buck, stiff knees, and a cramped neck. For - tho novlco there Is no worlc under the sun more trying thnn cranberry picking. Hojr Covers Kite .crc. This particular bog was five acres In extent. It wus made twenty-five yenrs ago and has paid an nveroge of $1,000 a year. Early In tho morning n blanket ot mist hung close to the ground. As tho day advanced the sun drove this away nnd sent blistering rays down on the kneeling cranberry pickers. A cranberry plant grows about eight Inches high. Hhoots are set out with tin attempt to train their growth In a uni form direction. Such Is tho perversity of ther plant that an entlro swnmp ot vines may determine to tangle thcmsclven Into every possible Intricacy. Berries from theso plants must bo picked by hand, six to a dozen of tho fruit at a grab. Women and children prosper when tho vines nro tangled. Good pickers among the women muko nn average of $3 a day. Hoys and girls go out on the bogs two hours before school and two hours after the day's session. Where tho plants grow straight and untanged and this is tho rule on the w-ll kept bogs they aro harvested by means of u cranberry' scoop. Tho bcoop Is a toothed arrangement, with the toetlij separated far enough to nllow tho vine to slip through the meshes, The berries snap off nnd rattlo down to tho hollow of the' kcoop. The average scoop will garner five quarts, and then the picker must trudge neross tho lKg to empty them' Into a barrel, The nvcrago number of teeth In u scoop Is fifteen, but this varies with tho strength of the picker. I started to work with n twenty pronged scoop ami twenty minutes later chnnged It for ono with ten teeth. Pickers get down on their knees, poko tho toothed scoop forward under tho low vines and then tip It back, pushing tho berries off. Probably a fourth of them fall to the ground. After every four or flvo strokes with the scoop pick ers stop and pick up tho berries that have been knocked to tho ground. Pickers generally lino up and mow a strip across the bog. I have seen ns many as forty men and women on their bauds and knees, tho scoopssome of them aluminum tlned-flashlng In tho sunlight, and tho crisp, snapping rattle of tho berrles-a sound tho llko or which you never hear' elsewhere audible nil over the bog. The country does not produce a crop to which there Is so small a percentage of loss. Of every barrel harvested prob ably less than two qunrts of, berries finally nni discarded as useless. A novel apparatus Is employed In many bog shanties to sort berries. They iour slowly from tho barrel upon a revolving wheel built mueh llko nn old mill wheel. Tho big, solid berries bounce farthest from tho wheel, tho second grudo bounce into a receptaclo a shorter distance away, while the third grade, smaller and not so firm, follow tho wheel around. On the bogs wlicro this machine Is not usei berries are sorted Into three grades by women sorters. They Hit nt the mouth of a long trench down which comes a veritable avalonch of berries, millions on i millions of tliem, and with lianas moving j swiftly hero and there guldo them out three exits. Tho difference In the mar keting price ot the three grades of cran berries Is not great. For the last five years cranberries have brought to the grower an averago price of S ier barrel. Of this nmotint Just half Is estimated as clear profit. Male pickers of Cape Tod prefer to pick by tho hour, for whtdi the average pay Is W cents. Hut some of the most success, ful pickers, and these Include muny Portuguese, pick by the barrel. Korne of these stars of the cranberry bog make from Vi to J12 a day during a season of ten weeks, Possession of a three-acre cranberry lwg provides a good competence. It requires about three years to establish a bog. The favorite location Is a cedar swamp near which is a fresh water ibnd by which the bog can be flooded, around from which cedar stump have been removed furn ishes the best soil for the toothsome relish. Bogs must be flooded to the top or the berry plants when frost threatens. As the day warms tho water Is drawn off and the bog sends up clouds of steam as from a pot of boiling water. Ilecently bogs have been established away from natural water supply and gasoline motor pumps havo been Installed to fill reser volrs with supply sufficient to flood the swamp. Park In the woods bog has an Inter esting history. An English florist who established himself in Boston was ad- vlted by phynlclans to live outdoors. He decided ot cultivate a cranberry bog. Then he set out trees and rose bushes around tho swamp, The pond uted for flooding purposes was carefully parked The bog dike Is kept as neatly trimmed as the best lawn. At the entrance to the bog are two willow tree the slips of which were brought from Napoleon's grave on St Helena.

After I hnd worked on my knees ror un hour I found myself munching berries constantly. I turned to tho picker who had caught up with me twice going acrosti a rod-wldo strip. , "Say. pul, tho reason I've only mnnnged to scrape up about ten quarts Is because 1 guess I'vo eaten about that many," I said. "Will It make mo sick?" Ilo popped a fat red berry from his mouth nnd exclaimed: "I've been pick ing for ten years. 1 munch mulberries all tho time und I'vo never been sick lit my life.

Dr. Hartman Recalls Cures Made By Old-Time Pe-ru-na DB. B. 13. HABTMAN I havo been practicing medicine since 1S5S. Most of that time I havo beon using Pe-ru-na as my principal remedy. So many unexpected recoveries havo been made by thoso for whom I have prescrib ed Pe-ru-na that It would tuko a lurge lK)ok to contulu them all. They keep coming up to my mind ono by ono. Whether on my farm, or ut home, wheth er playing with my grandchild! en or con ducting my largo office business, those Incidents of old-time Pe-ru-na cures steal In upon my memory unawares. Take, for Instance, a single case from the oxteuslvo list of similar vases In my dlniy of cases treated, as an oxamplit of tho cuies that Po-iu-ua used to muke. Mrs. T. tC Kborleln (then of Ilttsburg, Ph.. uftorwnrds of Keukuk, Iowa), during the year IMi began to develop usual symptoms of cuturrli of the lungs. Cough wus ono of, tho first symptoms, which gradually grew worse In splto of all treat ment. The sputa, at first slight, became abundant und purulent, occasionally streaked with blood. A rapid Iokh ot flesh and flagging nppetlto filled tier rel atives with foreboding. Tho hectic flush, night sweats, and suppression of the menses? left no doubt us to the nature of her disease. Vrom tho first physicians had been em ployed. Cough medicines, tonics, cod liv er oil aud stimulants were resorted to by her physicians without avail. Tho first physician employed was Dr, Williams, Penti Ave, Pittsburg, Dr. Olll ford, of Allegheny Cltv. was next called; and then Dr Illggs, of Pittsburg During this history of conflict with this terrlbln disease freoucnt consultations were held, but nothing chocked the steady progress of her malady. Not a doubt had uxliKtcd In the minds of her physicians or friends us to tho unturo or her ills ease, nor as to Its futul termination. The repealed examinations of her lungs In dicated the rapid strides with which she was Hearing tho end, Her physicians wero honored members of the medlcnl fraternity, In whom Mrs. Uberleln'H husband nnd family had intr fcet confidence. And tho sorrow with which they listened to their decision thnt they had exhausted everything known to them In vain ror tho roller or tho wife and mother of tho afflicted household can bo better Imagined than described, As in common to this sort of patients, Mrs, Ebvricln continued hopeful long lifter her nttetidunls lulleved her to bo beyond cure. I wns practicing ut the time in Pitts burg, and a funry that I would bo able to relievo lief was, during her Illness, re pcntcdly expressed by Mrs. Kberleln, but it wu.i regarded us tho merest whim; and, as they wero employing tho best medical talent the city uffnrdod, no attention wa mild to It.

If Dr. Hurtman ere sent for lu could relieve her. Willing to Indulge her In any wish, as she was thought to be dying by nil, I was immediately sent for, bjit being very busy was not ublo to respond until Into In tho evening of the afternoon on which I was sent for. It was not expected thut she would survive ui'tll I could reach her home, but hopo kept her ullve until I came, Jt would hn difficult to Imagine a more dlBcouraglng cuso for a doctor to under take to cure than Mrs. Eborleln's nt the moment of my first visit, bet me de scribe her symptoms.

Pulse wholly Imperceptible at tho wrist, but the heart feebly fluttering. Extrem ities cold und clammy, finger nails blue, breathing hurried and gasping, utterly exhausted und hopeless. t It certainly seemed us If I had only arrived In time to see her die. Tho first question of (he distracted hus band wan. " Is my wife dylnst" Hut my undaunted faith In the efficacy of Pe-ru-na Is such, even In this awful emergency, that I replied. "Sir, you and I are now In the vlro of life; It may hnppen that this lady wilt live to see us burled." After a hnsty examination of tho cast I prescribed Po-ru-na to b taken every hour, and If she was not better In the morning to let me know. It was two weeks bofore I again heartl from tho case, when the husband entered! my office, radiant with Joy, and, not waiting for the usual salutations, ex exclame'd; "Doctor, my wife Is well!" "Oh, no, you mean she In better," I rw piled, But tho enthusiastic husband In sisted that his wife was "well and tha heartiest cater at tho table." Tho fart wns that, whllo she had mads astonishing Improvement she was obliged to continue tho 'use ot Pe-ru-na many months, In less than n year she was en tirely wull, und has remained so slncev and her treatment from the beginning tot the end was Po-ru-na and nothing else. To have seen her at tho time of the first visit It would have been Impossible ta believe that any medicine or other earthly power could havo saved her. This cuso Is no morn unusual or aton lining than a great many others that my 'list contains, not only of diseases of the lungs, but ut nil mucous surfaces. Cases of dyspepsia, diarrhea and dys entery which huvo withstood nil other tiputiiurit, huvo yielded at once by the use of Pe-ru-nu. ' Numerous cases of Briglit's disease ot the kidney, acute catarrh and rheuma tism, female diseases, that had been trcuted locally for years, were Instantly rolluved uud finally t'ecovercd by Pe-ni-nu. In dhort. every disease of the body that has not already gone beyond all earthly help, frequently makes astonish ing recovery. As u general tonic aud appetizer Po-ru-na has no superior. It is a certain remedy for worn-out or tired-out human nature.
