GEM IN A CHICKENS CRAW
Pennsylvania Woman Found There a
Diamond Worth More Than
One Hundred Dollars

Colwyn, Pa.-Whether there is a
diamond mine in Philadelphia or in
Delaware county, Mrs. Otto Woerner
of No SO South Third street, Colwyn,
is not sure, but she does know that
the chicken that she purchased from
a Baltimore avenue EAST Lansdowne)
dealer a few days ago was a most
valuable bird and incidentally proved
the best investment she ever made.
When Mrs. Woerner opened the
chicken and cut open the craw she saw
something sparkle, and on closer ex-
animation was surprised and delighted
to find that it was pure blue-white
diamond of the first water.
Having 1t appraised by an expert,
she was told that it was worth consid-
erably more than one hundred dollars.
Since the announcement of this dis
covery was made the dealer has had
a run on chickens.

ODD MONEY IN USE
Quaint Forms Replace Gold
Hoarded for War Needs.
Romanoff Jubilee Postage Stamps
Now Currency in Russia-Ger.
many Uses Iron Coins-Stone
Medium In Caroline islands.

London.-Some quaint forms of
money have come into existence dur
ing the war, owing to the shortage
of gold. England introduced the one
pound and ten shilling treasury notes,
but other countries have been far more
original in their makeshift arrange
ments at the mints.
In their annual bullion report
Messrs. Samuel Montagu G Co. tell
how Russia, in order to overcome the
difficulty Of providing small change,
has printed the designs of the ten,
tions of the Romanoff jubilee postage
stamp issue upon thick paper and, by
lettering on the reverse side, has au-
thorized them to be used as currency
with the same legal tender as silver
subsidiary money.
Iron money was put into circulation
by Germany on October l. The fed
eral council decided that the issue
should be withdrawn two years after
the cessation of hostilities. A, hun
dred million Of five pfennig pieces was
the authorized extent Of the issue.
The Caroline islands, which passed
from Spanish to German sovereignty
after the Spanish-American war by
purchase, and now into the possession
of Great Britain by capture, include
an island called Jap, where stone
money called "fei" Is used as the
medium of exchange. 1t consists of
large, solid, thick stone wheels, rang
ing in diameter from one to twelve
feet. having a central hole through
which pole can be inserted so as to
convert the mass into currency"
The value represented by the stone
increases with its size, and the lime
stone of which the "fei" is composed
must be of fine white grain to be con-
sidered good delivery Yet there
seems to be no real necessity for de-
livery at all, for it is quite customary
to earmark the money, as it were, and
leave it in it's old position outside the
first owners hut-an excellent provi-
sion considering the bulkiness OF the
material.
The disappearance of small metal
lie currency in Mexico owing to the
amount of paper money put into cir
culation during the military struggle
for the presidency of the republic,
caused various expedients to be
adopted Tramcar tickets have been

With regard to the output of gold
in 1915, the report says that in view
of the improved output from the
Transvaal and other African districts
the worlds production is likely to be
about G9S,000,000 (s49O, 900 000)
About two-thirds of the worlds gold
supplies are derived annually from the
British empire, and, roughly, G60,000,-
/ 900 ($300,000,0 00) thus is added auto
matically to the gold resources of the

FOOD FACTS
What an M. D. Learned.

A prominent physician down in
Georgia went through a food expert
. ence which he makes public:
1T was my own experience that first
led me to advocate Grape-Nuts food !;
and | also know from having pre-
scribed it to convalescents and other
weak patients that this food is a won
derful rebuilder and restorer of nerve
and brain tissue, as we'll as muscle. 1t
improves the digestion and patients
gain. just as / did In strength and
weight, very rapidly.
Il was in such low state that
4 had to give up my work entirely and
so to the mountains, but two months
there did not improve me; in fact |
was not quite as we'll as when | left
home. My food did not sustain me
and it became plain that l must
change.
i began to use Grape-Nuts and in
two weeks | could walk mile, and in
nve weeks returned to my home and
practice, taking up hard work again.
Since that time have felt as we'll and
strong as l ever did in my life.
AS physician who seeks to help
all sufferers l consider it a duty to
make these facts public"

tain the body will work wonders.

dog down, one of the men let it fall

When the captain entered the boat
he saw the dog swimming toward the
submarine. Without hesitation he
jumped overheard and swan almost q
quarter of a mile before he could over
take his little pet. On reaching him,
he placed him on his shoulders, and
as the submarine had by this time

In order to regain his breath.

In broken English, said to him. Il
