SUTTON DISCOVERS
FOUNTAIN Of YOUTH
CRACK CUE ARTIST FINDS WON.
DEKFTL SPRING ON HIS
FARM

George sutton. one of the world s
most famous billiard players, doesn't
claim to have found the fountain OF
perpetual youth. He wasn't even look
ing for 1t nor is he in any present need
of 1t. But he is the possessor of a
wonderful substitute.
Recently Mr. Sutton purchased a
farm near Hartford. Mich, and the
farm had a spring On ii, but MIR, Sit-
ton was more interested in the land
than the spring. II was long time
before the billiard champion discover
cd that the water of this spring
possessed rare mineral properties
His attention was first called to this
fact because the stock on the farm re-
fused to drink the water. This led to
lan investigation and then an analysis
The result proved that the waters OF
this spring were rich in minerals and
wonderful In health r.'oducing powers
Before becoming billiard player
George sutton had won many honors
on the pool table. For number of
years he held various titles Mt the
pocket billiard game and il was mis- be-
lief in his versatility as an expert with
the cue that induced MIN to try bill
lizards His success was almost i'm
mediate and he soon afterwards sue
ceeded in holding the titles in both
the 1871 and 1872 styles OF the game.
On account Of Ill health he was COM
PEELED to abandon billiards and for
two years his physical condition
alarmed his friends. He attributes his
recovery to long rest and the use OF
the waters of the spring on his
Michigan farm. In fact, he says that
II Is the drinking Of this water which
now keeps him in condition as bill
lard player.
Mr.. Sutton was the first to give the
water thorough test or course, he
did this after being assured by his
physician that the water could not
possibly have any injurious effects
upon the system. Now Mr.. sutton
never drinks anything else but water
from his wonderful spring. To this
fact he attributes his remarkable state
Iof health.
There is no water In all the world
like it," said Mr.. Sutton the other day
when speaking Of hts discovery Th.:

j. S. TEMPORARY CENTER
OF THE WORLDS FINANCE
Prominence and Importance OF This
Country Again Is Demon
Strated.
RATES OF EXCHANGE WEAK
Increasing Realization That There
Must BE Further Fall Unless Lon
don and Paris Soon Replenish
Their Credits.

NEW YORK, June 15.-The promi-
nencc and Importance Of this country
as temporary center Of world finance
was again demonstrated to-day when
English and French rates Of exchange
manifested greater weakness than at
any time since New York entered Sc
riously into the field OF international
banking.
Demand sterling declined to AIS ga
and checks on Paris were sold at 5.45
3-i. This puts the buying power OF
the English pound and French franc
In inns country at the lowest levels
recorded In over nifty years. and offers
additional proof of the enormous
quantity of credits held by American
bankers and manufacturers, mainly as
result Of the large orders now UNI
der contract
On the basis quoted to-day, an Eng
fish pound shows n depreciation of 9
per cent. and francs are at a discount
of almost 4 per cent
Exchange on other European coun-
tries approached recent low Quota

very light exchanges. showing dis
count of about u per cent. while the
rate on Petrograd was quoted at Il
discount of "a cents. No actual trans
actions between this market and the
Russian capital were reported.
Amsterdam was the only foreign
market to manifest any degree OF
steadincss. n fact ascribed to the pur-
chase Of bills on Holland by local
bankers, who are assumed to have
liqu!dated more American securities
for German holders
There is an increasing realization
that rates Of exchange between New
York and all leading European points
must inevitably suffer further depreci-
alton unless London and Paris soon re-
plcntish their credits here. So far as
is known steps in this direction
have yet been taken. Rumors of the
placing OF a large part Of forthcom-
Ing British war loan here are denied
by those in authority. French bankers
arc reported to be negotiating the sale
OF large amounts of American securities
by home investors. and the proceeds
OF such transaction would go far
toward restoring the equilibrium be-
tween New York and Paris
In the face Of to-day's disorder in
the exchange market more gold came

Of war to the aspect of Budapest.

that these men have grown into habits
of life that the scvercst military train
ing will not be able to eradicate. AS
for the younger element OF the levies,
naturally they are filled with enthu-
siasm, but it is certain that they must
pay the penalty for their immaturity.
Judged from their clothes. most of the
new class are Iungarians.
Seeing the German and Austrian sol
dicrs side by side. it is easy to COM
pare them. The marked superiority Of
the former is noted on the most super
hcial examination. When we go into
details. it is seen that the German is
far ahead of his ally In almost every
point Of equipment, in physique. and
in the little indcfinable qualities that
identify the trained soldier. The diff
ference is so great that it is easy to
understand why Germany is winning
Austria's battles. y German infantry
soldier is erect under heavier pack
than the Austrian; the latter stoops
and squirms under a lighter burden.
These German veterans are not young
soldiers; they are for the most part
men of the Iandwchr. and force shows
in every movement they make. 1t is
disciplined force that their very pres
