They knew nothing aboht sewer-gas, dys-

a similar record. The ancient Gynosoph-
lists of India, religiously confined their diet
to fruit and vegetables. Said DR.. Bostwick,
late OF this city. ''1hese people were per-
fectly healthy, and scarcely ever died a
natural death. They lived to $50 and 200
years, and some lived SO long that, dis
gus,ed with. the world, they became weary
of their lives and coinmftted themselves to

from intemperance in eating and drinking.
Says DR.. b. ALREADY quoted): "Abstem-

Investigated the subject. Secretary
Sherman says, and he can prove it,
that less than twenty per cent. oil

"But it lie true. 1t is ascertained
by careful Investigation that only

the hands of foreign capitalists. The

Ors."
"How is this fact ascertained ?"
by . careful inquiry as to where
the money goes that is paid out for
interest, it is very easy to tell. The
coupons clipped from our bonds that
are held abroad very naturally &C
cumulate at the great hanks that
have direct correspondence with
agents in this country, and the in
terest on registered bonds held
abroad is collected through tho same
channel. Ninety-nine one-hun-
dredths of the interest is paid thro'
banks those banks know who own
the bonds that call for it, and so you
see it was very easy for Secretary
Sherman, when he set about it to
get an accurate estimate of the pro-
portion held here and abroad. The
American people are getting to be q
nation of bondholders. A few years
ago the word bondholder was used
as term of derision, and it was
about as rough to call q man a

Chemical Fertilizers.

If commercial or chemical fertili-
zers are ever to get into more gen.
oral use, the farmers of the country
must have some satisfa Glory assur-
ance, made by official analy sis. that
they are what they are represented
to be. It. is true that a purchaser
will not be likely to be taken in
twice with the same manufacture,
but very many individual purchas.
ers may be, and then too, there are
scores of different kinds. The farm
err wants something more than the
word of the seller, whatever his
standing may be. Articles selling at
the high rate per ton as fertilizer,
should have a known, stamped state.
ment of it's contents, and then pur-
chas rs can invest in them with de.
gree of knowledge of their value for
their particular lands, which will af-
ford them necessary aid in making
selection. In England fertilizers find
no sale unless guarantee analysis
accompanies it. Until this security
was obtained, the quantity Of fertli-
zers sold had greatly diminished |;
but since. the sales have largely in
creased. ALI that our farmers dc.
mand, and which they have right
to demand, is a correct statement of
the component parts of the fertilizer.
They are unwilling to buy ga pig in

Dairy Hints.

At the meeting of the state Dairy
mems At Syracuse, Geo. Geddes

Supply of Cities and Villages with
pure Milk. The operations OF the
Onondaga County Milk Association,
were detailed. We select the follow
ing valuable points:
Some talk with these men enables
me to state that they agree IN say
ing that there is no one breed of
thoroughbred COWS that are as val !.
liable for milk production as cross
bred animals bred with the express
object of the production of the great
est quantity of good milk. and that
the best method OF procuring good
COWS ia to, breed and raise them.

The Money Conference.


The international money conference
which originated in the action of the
United States, and which has been in
session at Paris for the past three
weeks, adjourned last week sine die.
No definite result was arrived at: on
account of the diverse conflict Of
views among nations which use the
single or double standard OF gold and
silver. One valuable conclusion
seems to have been reached by the
delegates, that tho further demoneti-
cation of silver by any nation is not
only injurious to trade, but also fool.
isb as financial policy. Nearly all
the nations concluded that silver must
be used to- certain extent as metal
to supply the deficiencies of gold.
Mr.. Goschen, a noted 6nancier,
who represented England, where the
single gold standard prevails, de
clared that a universal gold standard
was impracticablc, but at the same
time averred that he thought it would
be impossible for the conference TO
fix such ratio between gold and sill.
yer as 20 keep them uniformly of the
same value. He therefore thought it
best to let each nation regulate the
ratio to suit its varied neces sites.
In France the ratio is to 155, but
the coinage is limited, and the man.
agement of the Bank of France is so
judicious in paying out silver that its
value has been well maintained. tits
understood that the Bank OF France
never forces silver upon any deposi.
tor or noteholder, though il has le.
gal right so to do.
Our standard is 16 to L, and we
have more difficulty in maintaining it
in circulation. The why is not
clear. Since the passage of The silver
coinage bill of 1913, the bullion value
of silver has considerably declined,
and that adds to the difficulty Of cir.
culating our dollar, as it is now worth
less than 90 cents in bullion value.
Had the last Congress been sufficient
ly honest to give dollar of full
weight, it would have been readily
taken and readily circulated.
In the money conference it was re-
marked that the delegates representing
the United States appeared to great
advantage, especially Gov. Fenton, OF
New York, whose persuasive manners
and attractive oratory did much to
dispel the prejudices Of Europeans
against some OF our Legislation, which
was supposed merely directed against
the foreign bondholders. But Gov.
Fenton very cogently pressed, and
showed by facts that the American
reconciliation Of silver originated in
the natural desire to utilize our vast
production of that metal. Groeebeck
Of Ohio, and Walker OF Connecticut,
by their arguments and presentation
of facts, defended the honor and in
tegrity of the United States in ITS
transactions with foreigners who had
invested in our national securities.-

MOUNTED ROBBERS.
Three Men Successfully get away With
$4,000 From Missouri Bank.

SEDALrA, Mo-, August 3o.-The
Sedalia Democrat has the following
particulars of the robbing of the Con-
cordia bank, which occurred yester-
day. Concordia is town of about
$500 inhabitants,of Lafayette county,
on the line of the Lexington and st.
Louis railroad, thirty miles from Soda
liza. Thesprincipal banking business
of all that part of Lafayette county is
done by the Concordia Savings Bank,
Of which j. Fl. Loehoefner is presi.
dent, and A. Ticker cashier. Yester.
day afternoon about half past one
O'Clock three men entered the bank,
and one of them asked the cashier,
who was alone in the bank, to change
a $40 bill. While he was changing
the bill another man jumped over the
counter, caught the cashier by the
arm, and placed one hand over lis
mouth. They then took what money
was 10 sight and putting pistol to
the cashiers head, told him to open
the safe. He did so under fear of his
life, and the robbers took all the pa
per money in the safe, between three
and four thousand dollars, refusing to
take silver OF which there was be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 in the bank.
During the robbery, gentleman
named Sodeman was near the bank,
and the robber who was guarding the
door called upon him to advance, in
stead of which he turned and ran.
The robber fred two shots at Sode-
man. but missed him. They then
mounted their horses and galloped off
in a Southerly direction. The whole
robbery occupied about ten minutes
They were all mounted on good
horses, newly shod. Citizens are in
hot pursuit.
