Rav Rum

Bay rum is manufactured from the
dried leaves OF Pimento acris. Bay
rum is procured by disulIatiou. and
this in a very simple manner. The
leaves are picked from the trees and
then dried. In this state they are
placed in the retort. which Is then fll-
ed with water, and the process OF dis
tillatlon is carried on. The vapor Is
then condensed in the usual way and
forms what is known as bay oil" a
very small quantity OF which is re-
quired for each puncheon OF rum.

POTASH MONOPOLY.

The new German potash law, over
which there were diplomatic ex-
changes last spring, and which has
been awaited with considerable anx-
iety on both sides OF the Atlantic. will
be officially promulgated by the kali
ser's ministers shortly
American interests will be adverse
" affected by this law. although the
representative Of the United States at
Hamburg says IT is still too early to
anticipate the precise effect o. this
legislation upon the cost Of American
fertilizing materials, and there are
probably many questions Of interpre-
tation which will require time before
settlement can be reached.
The German government refrains
under this law from taking over the
potash Industry as a whole for its own
account, nevertheless the production
and sale are monopolized just as sure
ly by the limitations the law lays
down.
Reading Of the opening line is sufi-
cient to put Americans on guard as 10
what Is intended. THE owners Of pot
ash works are allowed TO sell potash
salts only in accordance with the pro-
visions Of this act" This means the
absolute control By law OF an industry
I'm which various German govern
ments and both German and Ameri-
can corporations are interested.
An extremely difficult point I'm draft
ing the bill was the reconciliation OF
an arbitrary level OF prices and appor-
tionment Of production with the con-
ditions existing because Of untitled
contracts. The difficulty has beor
solved by providing that all contracts
made prior to April II, 1910. are ex-
empted from the effects OF the law
and the further provision that wher
an increase of production beyond tho
allotment figure is necessary for the
fulfllment Of contracts made prior tc
December II, 1909, such increase may
be permitted without the payment Of q
penalty tax.
It was owing to the exchanges be.
tween Washington and Berlin thai
these exemptions were made. Jus
how American interests were further
safeguarded viii probably develop fl

Inc financier, In discussing the
savings bank situation. advances an
opinion on the subject Of The interest
paid depOsitOrs. witch has recently
been cut by certain or the larger IN
solutions. while others declare they
are no longer able TO stand the strain.
The Financier says.
The savings bank situation AZ present
Is peculiar. Some OF the banks,
and these among the largest. pro-
fess an inability TO pay more than
% per cent to depositors, even
when the securities from which
earnings are derived are selling
on a ~ per cent basis
Ihere Is no mystery about this. the
explanation being that the saw
ings banks bought the bonds
when they sold at a higher pre-
MUM. Il rests with the depos-
itorr whether they viii accept
the lower rate that their money
earns In the savings banks. or
whether they viii withdraw their
funds and invest them directly in
the same grade Of securities with
the idea Of obtaining a higher
percentage.
The trouble IS that the average saw
inrs bank depositor does not have
sufficient funds 10 pay a single

but their existence has had much

The United states IS an investing na-

There IS much food for Thought in
the plan proposed by the Financier.
They never have panics in France.

country goes directly to the people
who pay the taxes. If less Of our oh

try would be in much better financial
