months from July to December, 1915,

This cash is the old-fashioncd Chinese
money, with square holes in the GEN.
ter MUCH OF it is very old and its
value asia circulating medium is so
far below the market value Of the

DIABETES MAY BE DRIVEN
FROM THE SYSTEM BY GOOD
WHISKEY, SAYS SCIENTIST
Two Three Ounces Day in Severe Cases Will Eliminate
Troublesome Sugar From System.

Prof. Won Noorden, the eminent sci

the treatment Of severe diabetic cases.
The Rockefeller Institute also reports
several patients relieved Of this dread
ailmcnt through the use OF whiskey.
Results from what is known to the
Medical World as the Allen Treat
mcnt in this country comes reports
that whiskey helps relieve the body
Of excess sugar and serves to keep
the percentage OF sugar in the blood
normal, thereby bringing about pro-
nounced bcttcrment in diabetic cases.
The use Of Duffy's Malt Whis-
key is Of essential value in diabetes be-
cause it is an absolutely pure distilla-
tiou OF thoroughly matted grain, and
Is made for medicinal purposes only.
Through its use as directed, the dif-

War Loss to British
Mercantile Marines
Runs Into Millions

tCorrcspondonco of Tha Associated Pres7)
London, Oct. 3l.--In leading
article OIL The Tonnage Shortage and
the Remedy" the Liverpool Journal
of Commerce, points out that the
British mercantile marine has suf-
fered a loss equivalent to 100000
tons of shipping, detailed as follows:
Hindrance of new construction, l,7O0,-
600 tons; war losses, 1,520,000; ex-
cessive depreciation, 100000 tons.
Quoting Lloyds' Register for the
quarter ending September 80, 1916, in
which vessels completed only totalled
7l,000 tons gross, the journal says,
10000 tons per quarter, or one decent
ship a week, is a ridiculous output. In
spite of admitted difficulties it is hard
for the outsider to believe that this
cannot be improved, while everyone
claiming any general knowledge OF the
situation is we'll aware that many
more ships could be turned out with
out at all interfering with the more
urgent requirements of any other sec
ton of our fighting machinery
Dhe paper claims that constantly
increasing multitude of officials are
being employed to stifle the best ef-
forts of shipbuilders and apparently
to ensure that what available labor
and material there is shall be wasted;
and urges the necessity of appointing
one strong man to govern everything,
to see that available supplies are not
frittered away, to ensure that the man
who can best build big ships is given
big ships to build and i'll general to ar
range things on a sensible basis.
THE men who have run the ship
yards for years as business concerns,
who have guided their policy for a
lifetime, find themselves helpless in
the face of all invading army, which
apparently thinks that in this grave
crisis inexperience is more likely to
yield good1results than expert knowl-
edge.

Busy Rescuing Boys
From Warning Armies

Ccorrespondence of The Associated Press)
Washington, Oct. 3l.-Of the many
unexpected duties the United States
has found thrust upon it by the world
war, one of the strangest is that OF
rescuing adventurous boys who enlist
in the European armies
There have been more than a thou
sand such cases since the war began,
and even now letters praying for the
release of young soldiers Of fortune
pour into the State department at the
rate of fifty day. 1t has been neces-
sary to assign an official to give spe-
ciai attention to the subject.
The story almost always IS the
same. The youngster, generally be-
tween Is and 20, suddenly disappears
and is next heard from when he writes
home from Canada or England that
he has had enough of war and wants
to come home.
Then follows an almost tornado
like correspondence in which officials
parents, congressman and persons
who. think they can hurry the pro-
cesses of diplomacy by their influence
become sympathetic, fearful, impor-
tunate or mandatory. The red tape
of governmental business, however,
unwinds slowly and finally the con-
sui general in London or Ottawa, or
somewhere else, or, perhaps the
American embassy makes representa-
ton to the foreign government and
the adventurer is released and sent
home. /.r.
Until recently the British govern
ment has been promptly releasing all
Americans under q on the request
of the United States government, on
the ground that it is illegal for such
a person to enlist in foreign army
without parents consent. Recently
the British government has shown a
disposition to reduce the age limit to
Is, when minors become Of age in a

Steamship Men Hear
Lubin's Talk Favoring
Commerce Commission

London, Oct. 3l.-Representatiyes
of thirteen of the transatlantic steam
ship lines, in a meeting just held in
London, listened with great attention
to arguments in favor OF the proposed
international commerce commission
by David Lubin of New York and
California, who succeeded in getting
through congress resolutions endors-
ing the idea, which has for its object
the steadying OF prices OF staples
through the fixing of freight rates on
ocean bulk traffic.
Mr.. Lubin has succeeded i'll inter
esting the big shipping men here IN
his plan, among them being Walter
Runciman, president Of the Board of
Trade, who is a member of wealthy
shipping family. The meeting was
called BY Sir Norman Hill, a great
Liverpool shipping magnate. Among
the lines represented were the Amer
ican, Allen, Atlantic Transport, As
sociated Lines, Canadian Pacific,
Cunard, Dominion, Furness, Witty,
Harrison, Leyland, White Star and
Wilson.
Mr.. Lubin's address was followed
by questions from practically all at
tending that revealed general interest
in the plan. To questioners who
feared the result of such strict con-
troll of the lines as to compel them to
conform to special rates, Mr.. ,Lubin
pointed to the benefits sustained by
the railroads in the United States
from the Interstate Commsrce com,
missions rules.
Before the Interstate Commerce
commission came into being the price
of the leading American railway
stocks on your market here were a:
uncertain as those of common wild
cat schemes offered to the public" he
said. But the stabilizing effect OF the
Interstate Commerce commission:
control has, as you know Of your owr
personal knowledge, converted then
into the highest gilt-edged securities.

Mr.. REAL ESTATE,

FINE FUTURE FOR OMAHA

"The greatest ally OF city planning
is the real estate man." said Charles
milford Robinson of Rochester, N.
Y, in speaking to the Omaha Real
Estate board last Wednesday, The
only thing that seems really strange
about it all, is that the city planning
movement and the real estate man
have so recently found each other"
Mr.. Robinson is a city planning ex-
pert who is here frequently helping
the Omaha City Planning board with
its work. I'VE will not do much in
Omaha this year he said, except TO
assemble information and data in re-
gard to what is needed here and the
best way to go about it. Next year
we hope Omaha can get an appro-
priation large enough so that city
planning work can actually be put into
operation
Economic Basis.
The speaker said there are num-
Der OF economic reasons for a city
planning program. 1T means sta
bility in values" he said, "It takes
real estate from the speculative mar
ket and puts it on the investment
market 1t tends to reduce the cost
of development. for when we know
what is to be the future of given
street we can plan that street with
that definite future in mind. II it is
to be strictly residence district, for
example, the streets need not be
quite so wide, and the pavement not
so heavy as where heavy traffic is to
be looked for in business section.
The cost of maintenance will also be
less, as it will cost less to keep such
a street clean. The mere item Of
sprinkling will be less.
"City planning promotes saleability
of lots. People will be more ready
to buy lots in a given residence dis
trict for they will be assured Of the
stability of values by the fact that
they know what future that addition
is to have. 1t also prevents over
crowding and lot Of other evils.
Money Now Lost.
c. r. Harrison asked Mr.. Robinson
how much Omaha would have saved
in dollars and cents if it had had city
planning from the start instead Of
plating additions hit or miss.
II cannot say" answered the speak.
er. 1T is beyond the dreams oi
avarice.'
He said that the first work in lay
ing out city was to determine GER
tain arterial streets upon which the
main traffic is to be had, then to lay
those streets out sufficiently wide, and
to leave blocks enough on either side
for business expansion, etc.

kAISERS SUPPRESS
PICTURES OF WAR
Scenes Of Battle or Others That
Might Dampen War Enthusiasm
Are Not Permitted.

Berlin, April 1.-The German and
Austrian papers call attention to the
fact that excellent war films from the
fronts of the armies of the central
empires are shown in the United
States, while the German, Austrian
and Hungarian people are not permit
ted to see them.
With the permission of the military
authorities, the German and Austrian
film companies obtained a number of
good films of actual battle scenes, but
they were suppressed by the censor.
The "war movies" shown in Germany
and Austria Hungary are about as
tame as they can be and show moth
ing, but prisons and training camps,
marching bodies of troops, destroyed
buildings and bridges, parades before
rulers and generals and groups of
fugitives Most of the films are old,
as it is from three to six months be
fore they are released by the censor.
No actual battle scenes are permit
ted to be shown and the censor is
very careful to cut out all films OF
transports of wounded soldiers and
other pictures which might enable the
public to make calculations in regard
to losses or dampen war enthusiasm.
