MUCH VIRTUE IN AN ONION
Efficacy Of the Pungent Vegetable Man.
ifested in Various Ways.

From Table Talk.
The idea OF an onion cure may not strike
the fancy of the esthetfc; however the ex-
perience Of those who have tried 1t Is that
1t works " onders in restoring an old-rackeI
system to its normal state again. There are
three kinds Of doses in the onion cure, or
put It, One is diet of onions. The other
sirup.
1t is claimed by those who believe in the
onion cure that bad cold can be broken
up II the patient will stay indoors and feed
on a liberal diet of onions. 1t need not
be an exclusive diet. but liberal one. For
instance. an onion cure breakfast includes
a poached egg on toast. three tablespoon
fuls Of fried onions and a cup OF coffee.
Luncheon OF sandwiches. made Of Boston
brown bread. buttered and filed with finely
chopped raw onions. seasoned with salt
and pepper. makes the second meal on the
schedule For supper the onions may be
fried for breakfast and eaten with a
chop and baked potato
The strange efficacy OF onions Is we'll
known to the singers Of Italy and Spain,
who eat them every day to improve the
quality OF their voices and keep them
smooth. Onion plasters are prescribed to
fried onions placed between two pieces OF
old muslin. The plaster Is kept quite hot
until the patient is snugly in bed. when IL
is placed on the chest. to stay over night
Onion strip Is a dose that can be bought of
any druggist, and Is claimed by some to be
uneaualed as cure for cold in the chest.
All this Is probably quite true. For to be
done up with onions. both inside and out
would be enough certainly to chase out any
self-respecting cold.

UMPIRE RALsroN's DECISIONS
OF International Importance as Affect
ing Interest on ClaimA


As umpire of the Italo-Venezuelan mixed
commission. now sitting in Caracas. Mr.
Jackson H. Ralston of this city has, in the
case Of Giambattista Cervetti. an Italian
passed upon several points Of international
Importance affecting the question Of In
terest on claims
He held. in the first place. that interest
on claims for property taken should not
begin to run until demand made upon the
venezuelan government or presentation to
the commission, whichever might be first,
not excluding the idea that circumstances
might exist making effective a presentation
by private individual to the government.
He said that by the civil law interest did
not commence to run until the debtor was
notified or mis- en- demeure" by the credit
or. and that in many cases a similar prac-
tfce existed at common law, and he thought
no stronger rule should prevail to
claims against governments, which could
not be presumed to know. until actual
notice. Of the existence OF claims against
them, which were perhaps even created
without authority or against express order
He further held that under the protocol
the allowance OF interest after the termf-
nation OF the labors OF the commission
was not permitted. and that all interest
should be calculated to December 81. 1903.
at which time. under the protocol. Its
laborS might be assumed TO end.
Mr.. Ralston also maintained that interest
upon claims of the nature submitted should
be calculated at per cent. that rate being
provided by law in Venezuela when no
other was contracted for. and being the
rate given by Venezuela on bonds to pay
past awards in favor of citizens OF Euro
pean nations
The decision is considered OF Importance.
as the matter of interest enters into claims
pending before the various commissions to
the extent of hundreds of thousands OF
dollars. and the rules above laid down are
likely to be accepted by at least five. and
perhaps more. of the ten commissions now
sitting at Caracas.

MONEY PAID BY MEXICO.
Conversion Of tho Plus Fund Into
Philippine Money.

The director OF the mint has been In
formed of the delivery to the subtreasury
in San Francisco of 1928 600 in Mexican
silver dollars. which are to be delivered to
thV San Francisco mint for conversion into
Philippine coins.
There Is an interesting history connected
with the delivery of the Mexican dollars
Spanish Rrandees raised u fund of 81 100 600
in 1875 for the "civiization of the savages
in the CALIFORNIA;" The money was placed
in the hands OF the Jesuits, who were de-
prived Of 1t by Spain. When Mexico
achieved independence she took charge of
the fund. which was known the Plus
fund. After the war with Mexico in 1S4S
and the acquisition of territory by this
country the United States claimed the ad-
minstration OF the fund. After many
years the matter was submitted to- The
Hague tribunal. which decided that the
United States was entitled to O6O0.
The Mexican government decided to pay
this fund to the United States In silver
dollars, and the payments began several
weeks ago. -Four payments OF $4,000 each
were made up 60 yesterday. -
Upon nottf1cau ton that the money would
be paid in Mexican dollars the United
States saw that 1t would not be able to
handle these dollars directly. and con-
tract was made with the Philippine au-
thorities for the sale of the dollars to them
for coinage into Philippine silver. The
Philippine authorities pay to the United
States the market value Of the silver in
each dollar. Silver is selling around 81
cents an ounce. and this is the sum that is
to be paid to the Secretary OF State for
them -.
Each dollar will net the government
about q cents for the silver that Is in it..
The dollars will be melted down and re-
coined at the San Francisco mint. The
Secretary of State Wilt receive a check for
the total amount from the Philippine COM
mission. and when ne has cashed this
check he will begin the distribution of the
fund among those to whom. it belongs.
Archbishop Riordan Of the Catholic Church
has an interest in the fund to be dis
trtbuted as the representative Of his
church.
The Mexican govern ent has now paid
$S25 600 of the award to this government
and the remainder WIN be paid within a
short time.
From the Jesutts to Spain, then to Mex
leo. then to the United States and to the
Philippines is the history OF the money
Mat results from the Plus fund, which
was contributed by the rich grandees of
Spain 50 many years ago.

pose to impose the maximum fine in cases

Of $40 against James Marshall Little. a
clerk in the Congressional Library, who

law. The fine was paid.
Bicycle Policeman Lauten, who lodged
the complaint against Little. said that he
followed him from the corner Of 10th street
and Massachusetts avenue to the corner Of
10th street and Pennsylvania avenue at 3
o'clock yesterday morning, the speedom-
eter on his bicycle registering the high
speed OF thirty miles an hour. On reach
ing the corner OF 10Th street and Pennsyl-
wanna avenue, the officer said that the de-
PENDANT ended his wild flight through the
Streets which fortunately were practically
deserted at that hour, by colliding with the
curbstone. wrecking the buzz car"
Llttles explanation failed to vindicate
him and Judge Kimball declared that the
case was the worst Of that character ever
called to his attention, and such as to
warrant him in imposing the highest pen

piled. They dash around street corners at
