GUGGENHEIM
SEES NEW ERA
Augean Stables Cleaned and
We're Done With Past ExtraVa-
ganCeS and CareIeSsneSs.
MEN NOW EARN WHAT THEY GET

Daniel Guggenheim was at his
desk yesterday at 165 Broadway af-
ter an absence of four months. He
has brought back from Europe q
store of confidence In the business
outlook. On the other side he found
men confident of an early resump-
tion of business activity which had
shown itself in the willingness of
manufacturers to lay In supplies of
copper at the low prices, The state
OF the copper metal market here was
one of the first things he informed
himself Of on his return, and he said
yesterday that his copper statesmen
had told him that it was now possible
to sell all the copper the company
could produce at 13 cents per pound.
where four months ago metal was
hard to place around IL II cents.
European confidence in a rapid re-
turn to prosperity in this country,
Mr.. Guggenheim said, was well sum-
med up in the views of Sir Ernest
Cassel, the British financier and close
friend and adviser of King Edward.
Mr.. Guggenheim said that he had q
long talk with him Just after the
f1otation abroad of the Pennsylvania
bond issue. Sir Ernest" said Mr..
Guggenheim, like every European
f1nancier ] talked with, has absolute
confidence In the prosperity of this
country. He bases 1t on the country's
economic position. No country can
produce 30 much foodstuffs and raw
material as we do and not be pros
porous. With such a wide range
Of climatic condition crop failures
here are practically impossible, and
with good crops we are bound to
have prosperity.
Getting Down to Hard Pan.
During this last eight months of
slowing down we have had clean
ing of Augean stables. When every
thing was swinging along at high
pitch we got careless. We scattered
money too freely. There was too
much waste. A big concern would
hire a $4,000 year man and pay
him $4,000 or more, not so much
because they wanted him, but to keep
a rival from getting him. 1t was the
same all the way down the line to
the day laborer. A man with the
pick would command from $3.50 to
So for an eight-hour day and do four
hours work. If his bosses didn't
like it he would throw down his
tools and be sure OF getting job
elsewhere. Now wage earners and
salaried men are earning what they
are paid for, and everything is down
to hard pan When business starts
up again everything will be in clean
trim for profitable work"
Salaries and incidental expenses
of officials Of the American Smelling
and Refining Company, have been
reduced $760,000, according to Mr..
Guggenheim. Before / left for
Europe" said he, II set the ball
rolling by reducing ngy own salary.
My brothers, who devote their en-
tire time to the affairs of the COM
pany, also reduced their salaries vol
UNFAIRLY.
Like all well managed companies,
we cleaned out our Augean stables
early last spring, and the cleaning
process has now been completed
While our salary list is reduced by
$750,000, / am informed that the
efficiency Of our labor has improved
from sixty to eighty per cent to
nearly perfect. That means another
great saving in expenses"

There are some indications that
the heat wave which for several days
has extended over most of the coun-
try will be generally broken or its
intensity diminished tomorrow night.
This city has suffered with the
rest While the local doctors report
no heat prostrations they express
surprise that there has been none.
in the factories, however, many men
have been forced to quit work dur
ing the middle of the day.
The school children have suffered
great deal even with the half day
sessions.
At l o'clock this afternoon, just aa
the shower broke upon this city, the
thermometer On Smith street regIs4
tered "a. The rain has brought some
relief from the oppressive heat, but
the humidity Is still severe.
1t very rarely happens that spell
OF abnormally high temperatures ock
curing 80 early in summer lasta
more than three or four days. But
the present torrid spell has been ung
usually protracted. Maximum tenlT
peratures at or near 90 degrees were
registered within its area over por3
tons of the west on Friday last, and
yesterday the Official maxima report3
cd ranged from 90 degrees to SO d9@
grees In the Ohio valley and 04 de-
grees In Chicago.
But a barometric depression Gems
trail In the upper Mississippi Valley
last night with which these excep@
tionally high readings of the thera
mometer were associated) Is advano-
ing eastwardly today, causing mod
crate temperatures In the lake region
and the central valleys tonight. It
may also be expected that the fall Of
temperatures in the Interior will In
a considerable degree extend to the
Atlantic States north Of Virginia BY
Thursday morning. Il
Until then the actual humidity as
well as the heat in all the Middle
Atlantic seaboard cities will be 50,
far above the seasonal average THAI
perons much exposed to the sun will
need to observe extreme caution 70
avoid prostration.
New York, June 23.-With the sun
beating down from a. a-cloudless sky, thel
heat is distressing. 1t is the third day
of the extremely hot wave, and hui
mid atmosphere adds to the city's dis
comfort The highest temperature re.
corded was SO degrees. That was the
figure registered by the instruments
of the weather bureau far above the
sidewalk. Down in the streets, where
the heat found its victims, some Of
whom have died, the mercury went to
95 degrees The general suffering was
Increased by light hot wind from the
south. AS rule, any kind Of breeze
works against excessive heat here, but
the wind was scorching like the
breezes which are met on the plains OF
the middle west. Six persons were
stricken in Brooklyn and Eve in Jer-
sey City, and woman in Newark was
killed by the heat
No relief is promised until Thursday,
but 1t is consoling to know that q
cool wave already is travelling east-
ward. The weather experts In Wash
ington said the hot wave extended
from the Atlantic coast clear out to the
Rockies.

An Idol with Tragic History.

There are many things which happen
to explanation. When Nine. Carnot,
widow of Sadi Carnot, died and her
will was read, clause in it caused
considerable comment. This was to the
effect that a certain small HindOo idol
carved from hard stone, which would
be found among her property, must be
taken out and crushed until completely
destroyed. Many marveled at this ap-
parently singular request, for the idol
seemed a harmless, ugly little thing
but her instructions were carried out
to the letter.
The idol had been presented to Sadl
Carnot years before he had ever
thought of the Presidency of France by
friend who had brought it from In
dia. Later he learned that there was
a legend attached to it which asserted
that whoever would retain it in his
possession would rise to the fullest
height of power in his chosen profess
sion, Dut ole OF SlaD wound Wnen al
the zenith of his career. Carnot traced
the history of the idol and found that
for 500 years the rulers who had pos
sessed 1t had all died either in battle
or by assassination Of stab wounds Yet
he laughed at the story, called the facts
adduced by his search mere chain Of
condolences and retained the idol. He
died by dagger in the hands Of an
assassin, hence Nine. Carnot's strange
request.

WATER for Cows.

It is claimed that cow needs eight
gallons Of water day, and will con-
Milk is composed of about 81 per cent
water. Cows confined to pastures in
which there is no running water and
the COWS are watered morning and
night, 1t would necessitate that cow
would have to drink four gallons at a
time In order to be supplied. AS the
COW does not know that she must drink
four gallons, she will naturally use less
and reduce her milk supply accordingly.

Nutriment in Milk.

Bulletin No. 81 from the Stocrs kg-
ricultural Experiment Station, Con-
nectlcut, is most excellent one on the
origin or sources of those small or
ganisms called bacteria, which are
found so abundantly in milk. The
bulletin also contains some rather
startling statements and some whole
some suggestions.
Among the statements which ought
to make the average man sit up and
think are the following:
"A quart of milk at Sc is equivalent
In food value to pound Of beef at 1Sc.
This means that 4c worth of milk gives
as much food energy in the body as DC
worth of beef
The average individual consumes
three or four times as much meat In a
day as the body actually needs for re-
pair, and for its highest physical con-
dition.
"lf the American people would eat
one-half less meat and consume one
half more milk, they would save about
Sl5OOOO,OO0, in money and in health,
enough to make the doctors bills look
small"

Doctor David Roberts, State Veteri-
marian of Wisconsin, gives this advice:
Perhaps the best way of demonstrating
the danger of drenching cattle is to ad-
wise the reader to throw back his head
as far as possible and attempt to swal-
low. This you will find to be diff
cult task, and you will find it more
difficult and almost impossible to swal-
ow with the mouth open. 1t is for
this reason that drenching cattle is a
dangerous practice. However, if cows
head be raised as high as possible and
her mouth kept open by the drenching
bottle or horn, a portion of the liquid
is very apt to pass down the windpipe
into the lungs sometimes causing in
times causing death TO follow in few
days from congestion or inflammation
Of the lungs. Give all cattle their
fuedicine hypodermically or in feed. if
lhey refuse feed give it dry on the
tongue. The proper method of giving
COW medicine is to stand on the right
side of the cow, placing the left arm
around the nose and at the same time
opening her mouth, and with spoon in
the right hand place the medicine,
which should be in powdered form,
back on the tongue; she can then swal-
low with safety.

Two hundred feet of the levee on the
San Joaquin River in California gave
way and flooded 1000 acres of growing
crops, causing loss of $5,OOO,0OO
Crops worth $1,250 an acre are not
rare in an irrigated district, though the
figures above given would look like n
misprint to an FASTENER. About 300
acres of the inundated area were in
celery, and the value would run far
above the average stated.-El Paso

To Fatten Fowls.

Shut the fowls up in darkened
place with just enough light for them
to see to eat and feed on cornmeal,
ground oats, cracked wheat and shorts,
which may be mixed in equal proper
tions and scalded. Feed as often dur
Ing the day as they vii! eat up the
food clean. That is to say, stuff them.
TAKE a light and feed again just be-
fore your bedtime, and as early In the
morning az possible. Supply them
with grit and water and keep the
premises clean. Half dozen fowlu to-
gether viii fatten more quickly than
