UNITED STATES CASH NOW
SETTING WORLDS STANDARD
Eagle Is the Ruler as Exchange Falls
to Lowest Level.

New York.-The American dollar is
ruling the world today with an iron
grip. Pounds sterling, francs, lires,
and virtually all foreign exchange
have gone down to new depths in a
torrent OF bills that poured into the
exchange markets from American
manufacturers seeking pay for the big
war contracts of munitions and other
supplies purchased here by the war
ring nations of Europe.
Coincident with the startling decline
in exchange rates comes the assertion
from an unimpeachable source that
every contract made by the American
manufacturers for supplies sent abroad
called for payment in American dol
lars and not English pounds sterling,
which heretofore have been the stand.
ard of finance the world over. The
immense losses, therefore, due to the
decline in foreign exchange rates will
be borne by the foreign buyers and
will not be sustained by the Ameri-
can manufacturers.
What to do to remedy the situation
engages the attention Of bankers with
international connections 1t was de-
cided to do nothing, chiefly because
the remedy lay across the ocean with
the foreign buyers.
1t was generally believed that the
present abnormal situation would not
be permitted to continue long. The
obvious remedy seemed to be to sell
American securities held abroad. Es-
Enlistment here Of a big foreign cred
it, estimated cOnservatively at $780,
100000, was thought to be absolutely
necessary if exchange rates are to be
restored to anything like normal fig
ureS.
The amount of war contracts on
which full Or nearly full payments will
be due on or before Oct 1 approx
mates $400,O00,OO0 to $500,O0O,O0O.
This is in addition to the huge total
Of more than $1,OO0,OOOO0O owed by
Europe to the United States at the
close Of the fiscal year, June 80

ton was the general belief that sec

1t is not always convenient when liV-
ing on a farm to have fresh fruit for
breakfast. Prunes are a fruit one
may have on hand at any season and
are stOrehOuse of medicinal as we'll
as food value. In buying them get all
the prune you can for your money.
Examine the stones and buy the prune
that has the least waste, for often
the cheap, small prunes are more ex-
pensive than the larger ones. Wash
them and soak overnight, then cook
in the same water in which they were
soaked. They will require very little
sugar, as they have much natural
sweetness.
Whole wheat, right from the gra-
nary, is an especially good breakfast
food Wash and remove all chaff, and
soak over night, then cook slowly on
the back of the stove until the wheat
is soft. This will often take all day,
but it is worth it.
The veal stew for Monday is rolled
in -four, and Drowned in hot fat. Then
generous portions of sliced onions are
added and when slightly cooked, wa

tightly and cook slowly two hours on

meat with the onions around it on the
platter When cooking add salt, bit
of bay leaf, five peppercorns or little
chilli pepper. Remove the bay leaf
before it has seasoned the meat too
much.
