light upon the whole question of in

human consolation, Intoxicating drink
and heaven.
Most of our readers will be amazed
to learn that if boozer cannot have
the spiritual comfort and consolation"
of drink, he must have church facili-

Mr.. Chairman, now that the govern

Moving pictures, We are convinced,

the moving pictures. They are drawn

she had been setting.

order for 1000 of these nests for Pro-

are being shipped to Massachusetts
and sold in numbers to. orchard own

is an important instrument in obtain
ing this feed, as it can be extended far
beyond the bill, its tip being horny and
furnished with a barbed filament.

International Political Outlook

TIME FOR CAUTION ENDING
prblic Still Shy, but Danger
Now Is of Too Great Rush
When 1t Starts.
rB, cable to The Tribuncl

1ordon. Aug 17.-This is the holiday
.son so. Of course, business is slack
,bs stock markets. but it is most en-
raging to note that the recent good
..,,its and buoyant tone continued.
Tho definite conclusion Of peace in the
ya,tsns brJught the feeling that all
niger Of European complications had
hem avoided and that the waste Of
money &c to the war and the mobil-
.-ations ill now cease.
Added TO this is the growing opti-
-,ism as 10 a peaceful settlement Of tne
1;asrences between Mexico and the
Emitted States. while all the condi-
lions Of the present situation summed
,ogefher lead TO the belief that u
rariod of easy money conditions and
formulating capital will succeed to
the stringoncy Of the last several
months. This feeling was greatly as
sisted by the receipt of more than $l5,-
oooOOO gold from South America last
week. with the knowledge that another
s1OOn0OO0 is on the way, and by the
action Of Secretary McAdoo in offering
n release q large sum from the Treas
MY in The autumn TO move American
crops.
Both the political and the monetary
Conditions have improved remarkably
in the last few weeks, and now there IS
much less need for caution. Doubtless
the conclusion Of the war will soon be
followed by the issue Of several large
government loans. which will attract
10 the banks the great part Of the huge
sums boarded during recent months,
and will tend still further to relieve
conditions in Continental centres.
The public is still holding off from
the stock markets, but this state Of Al
fairs is likely to change any minute
when the public. which has so long
been frightened, becomes treasured.
There is real danger Of too great a rush
when it does set in. and of prices soar
ing too high and too quickly.
The arrival Of gold from South
America last week, with the prospects
Of more in the immediate future
caused discounts TO weaken a trifie.
Ten million dollars Of the $l5,OOOOOo
