SO far as France is concerned, it
is the number fourteen that has
played a conspicuous and generally
portentous part in her history. On
May IA, 1854, the Rue de la Ferron-
merle was enlarged by order of Hen
ri H., and four times fourteen years
later Henri ". was assassinated
there by Ravaillac-namely, on May
IA, 1910. Henri had lived four
times fourteen years, fourteen
weeks and four times fourteen days
i. e., ffty-six years and five
months. Then Henri's son, Louis
NIL, died May IA, 1913 (the same
day and month as his father) And
1913 added together equals four
teen, just as 1858 the year of the
birth of Henri w. equals fourteen.
Louis XIV. assembled the throne
l643, which added together equals
fourteen and similarly the year of
his death (1715) equals.

then add one half can Of concentrated
'ye, sti, we'll and apply to trees with
q good spray pump.
For peach, cherry and appricot
trees, add one half more water, soap

beneficial to the trees, killing all

for all fungus diseases and will hold
the fruit buds back better than sny
other known method. This is notice

FAKES IN PHOTOGRAPHY.
Simple Tricks by Which the Camera Il
Made to Lie. &.

1t is well known that the nearer
an object is to the camera the larg-
er it appears in proportion to other
objects in the picture, and by taking
advantage Of this fact some aston
ishing pictures may be obtained,
particularly if lens Of somewhat
short focus is employed. Not long
ago the writer saw reproduced in
popular magazine photograph
which was described in all serious
ness as depicting a cabbage Of gi-
gantic proportions. nj
Doubtless most people who look
ed at the picture were deceived, for
the cabbage, partially obscured
whole family Of five or six persons
who stood somewhere in the back
ground. Yet in reality the vege-
table was Of only ordinary propor-
ton and merely looked large in pro-
portion to the human beings be-
cause of it's nearness to a lens Of
short focus.
In the same way if fisherman
has caught a fish six inches long it
may be made to appear gigantic in
the photograph. By means Of his
rod and line the fisherman may
hang the fish good six or eight
feet nearer the camera than he him
self is, and the lens does the rest.
Very laughable caricature photo
graphs may be made by simply NOV
ing the 'swing back" of the cam
era out of the perpendicular. Your
friends may be made to look like
reclining giants or dwarfs with big
heads. In fact, an almost endless
variety of quaint deformities may
be devised by varying the elevation
Of the camera and the angle of the
back. Care must be taken, how
ever, to 'stop down" the lens as
much as possible in order to bring
the whole picture well into focus.
This, of course, means that a good
light is required; otherwise the ex-
posure must be a long one and your
model may move and spoil the pic
ture.--Scientifc American.

Report Of the Condition

General Trade Conditions.

Dun's Review says: There is fur.
Their abatement of the tension in finan.
cial circles, although money continues
very firm and new business is still
closely restricted to urgent needs. The
disorganization of foreign exchange is
slightly less marked, and international
banking arrangements slowly but
gradually improving. Efforts to re.
store more normal transportation ia.
cilities with foreign markets are meet.
ing with gratifying success Ship
ments Of grain abroad are becoming
more extensive and buying for foreign
account continues heavy. The higher
prices induced by these purchases
cause a considerable expansion in of.
ferings of wheat from the country and
these sales abroad will hasten a re.
turn to more normal conditions in In.
ternational exchange. Considerable
irregularity is manifest in reports
from the leading mercantile and in.
dustrial centers, but in view of exist.
ing conditions the movement of com.
modities is quite well maintained.
Failures for the week in the Unit
ed States were 1854, compared with 20S
last year; in Canada, SIS, compared
with 10 last year."

WAR REVENUE LEGISLATION
Is FOUGHT IN CONGRESS
Proposed 8 Per Cent Tax on Freight
Bills Arouses Revolt.-Wilson's
Help Needed.

Washington.-War revenue legisla-
ton faces a fight within the demo
cratic ranks this week that may rival
in intensity the struggle owe the re-
peal of the Panama canal toll exemp-
ton for American ships.
Revolt against the proposed 8 per
cen tax on freight transportation
charges which developed such proper
tons last week that administration
leaders decided to await the return of
the president before introducing the
revenue bill, continues to grow in
strength, and a party caucus is de-
manded by democratic members of the
house on the subject.
Majority Leader Underwood, who
withheld the revenue bill which would
tax beer, wines and freight bill, plans
to see Pres. Wilson early this week,
and to ask his open espousal of the
proposed freight tax. Mr.. Underwood
will explain to the president that there
is considerably opposition to the plan
within the party, and that opponents
of the measure want to substitute a
larger tax on beer, a tax on whiskey
and distilled liquors, which was not
contemplated in the ways and means
committee bill, and, perhaps, stamp
n inheritance taxes.

GERMANS FALL BACK
UNABLE TO STAND TERRIBLE ON,
sLAUGHTs OF ALLIED TROOPS
NEAR PARIS.
RIGHT WING PROVED. WEAK
After Weeks Fierce Fighting They
Give Territory All Along the Line
Stop Firing at Verdun Forts.
Mountainous Country Helps.

London, Sept. 13.-A dispatch to Reu.
ter's Telegram company from Paris
gives the following official statement,
"The Germans still are ~retreating
before the allies left wing and are al.
SO retiring in the center and before
the French right wing.
"The French have reoccupied the
city of Luneville, department of Meur.
the ct Moselle."
The German armies, which a week
ago today commenced a series of vic.
lent attempts to break through the
French center, nave found their eff
forts futile, and, evacuating Vitryle-
Francois, which was the pivot Of their
offensive and where they had forti-
fled already strong natural positions
have retired northward.
This retirement was made impera-
tive by the continued retreat of the
German right wing, which now is
somewhere northwest of Rheims, and
the defeat of an army corps which
was operating just east OF Vitry-le-
Francois, around Revigny and Ser
maize, and which in its hurry to join
the retirement left a quantity of war
material behind.
The Germans in the Argonne district
likewise have begun to fall back, so
that the pressure on the forts to the
southwest of Verdun, which a Berlin
report said the Germans have COM
menced to lombard, should be reliev-
ed. =
In Lorraine, too, the French claim
to have won further successes and to
have been enabled to straighten out
their line along that frontier. They
have occupied the territory east of
the forest of Champenouv Gerberville,
Resainviller and Saint Die, thus get
ting in closer touch with their troops
which, since the early days of the
war, have held a bit of German ter
ritory in front of Colmar.
Apparently the Germans, who sent
the best of their army further west
to take part in the advance on Paris,
have found the mountains of Moselle
and Vosges, where the French were in
strong positions, too hard a nut to
crack.

Grain, Flour and Feed.
Wheat-The trade has, been through
another active week. 1t has been re.
peatedly stated that the pace which
was under way was altogether too
fast. The advance has been rapid but
at the same time it was not unexpect-
ed. The underlying conditions in the
market are very strong and will assert
themselves from time to time against
any permanent decline in prices.
Flour-The activity in the flour mar
ket that has been apparent for the
past several weeks has about spent
itself, and from present indications
there will not be much doing for a
time at least except for the passing
trade for immediate requirements.
Values on some grades were boosted
by the local mills at the close of last
week, first grades jobbing at $3.50 and
seconds at $685..
Feed-The feed market has been
experiencing a rather steady upward
trend for some time and we note a
number of changes in quotations this
week, as follows: Bran, $25; bran
and shorts, $27; shorts, $34; feed
wheat, $33; barley, $40; rolled bar.
ley, $27; oats, $50; steam rolled oats,
$31, and corn, SAP.
