THRIFT OF DUTCH PEOPLE.
landers Are Richest Nation
in the World.

THE people of the Netherlands"
says Consul General Guenther at
Frankfort. in a report, are thrifty
and economical, excellent merchants,
and, in proportion to population their
nation is one of the richest in the
world. They are cosmopolitan and
largeminded in the investment of
their capital. They were the first and
most extensive buyers of United States
bonds of 1916 but did not touch the
confederate issues. According to esti-
mates of official statistical and finan-
cial sources Dutch capital to the
amount of 1914, 800, 900 is invested in
American bonds and shares and $780,
10000 in Russian bonds and shares.
Very large sums of Dutch capital
are invested in Mexican government
bonds and in bonds and shares of Mex
lean railroad and industrial companies;
also in the government and railroad
bonds of Austria Hungary, Portugal
and numerous other countries, and a
large amount is working protitably in
the Dutch Indian colonies in sugar to-
bacco and rubber plantations, the min
ing of tin and other metals, petroleum
wells. etc. A financial book of refer
ence places the capital of all Dutch
joint stock companies at $744, $4,000,
but this does not embrace the numer-
Gus Dutch companies which have their
headquarters in the colonies and i'll
foreign countries. The Netherlands,
possessing neither coal nor iron, is not
manufacturing country of note, and
in this respect is even surpassed by
little Switzerland, also having neither
coal nor iron. The Dutch are full of
the commercial spirit and have a large
merchant marine. The rural inhabi-
tants are given to dairying, cattle rails
ing and horticulture. in which branch
es they excel"

ADULTERATloNS IN GERMAN
Even Fruits Are Contaminated and
Acids Abound in Many Ar
ticles of Diet.

According to a report made to the
rector of the bureau office for examin-
ing foods of the University of Jena,
has published a statement relating to
the articles most frequently adulter-
ated. According to this statement,
$40 samples were examined in 1903
and 1869 in 1904. This number did
not include 116 samples of milk, which
were found to contain very high per-
centage of dirt.
1t was found that apricots contained
sulphurous acid effervescent lemon
AIDES did not contain trace of pure
fruit juices; butter contained too little
fat and too much water; so-called bak-
ing powder consisted of oleomargar-
inc; egg noodles contained no yolk of
eggs or at least very small quantities;
huckleberry juice was spoiled COM
pletely; raspberry juice was greatly
diluted, and some samples contained
glucose and coal-tar dyestuffs; mince-
meat contained sulphurous acid;
ground mace contained flour, ground
toasted bread, Bombay mace and nut
meg; marmalades were mixed glu-
cose and colored with coal-tar dyes;
milk was watered, skinned and often
very dirty; pepper contained lime,
sand and a good deal of the shell;
sausages contained flour, boracic acid
and coloring matter; preserving salts
contained sulphurous. boracic, fouric
and benzoic acids, etc.
The report complains of the indif-
ference shown by the masses regard
ing purity and reliability of articles
of food, and the custom which prevails
in large cities of having the examina-
tons of such articles made by persons
not experts.
