The Engineering and Mining Jour
nal notes that several causes seem
to be contributing to the rise in the
price of silver. "The demand from
India has been better, and there is
reason to believe that Chinese stocks
are low and that there will be little
selling from that country for time
and perhaps some buying. The most
direct cause is found in large pur.
chases for the British, French and
Russian mints. War conditions have
brought an unusual demand for sill
yer coins. 1t seems probable that the
demand will continue for some time
An increase in the Indian shipments
is also looked for. The demand fol
silver coinage produced by the wal
is something that has heretofore beer
overlooked, attention having been con
centrated on the huge demands fol
steel, copper, zinc, lead, etc. The mil
lions of men in the field are probably
not rich in spending money, but the.
have some, which in the aggregate IL
considerable, and they live under con
ditions that result in the utter losi
of a good deal of it"

The Chinese Tea Industry.

About 100000 piculs of tea carry
ing the value Of $50,00O,000 Is exported
in China every year. The Chinese
government is making every effort to
promote tea industry and improve the
production. The government first
seeks to improve tea by the adoption
Of new methods of nursing tea trees,
baking tea leaves and other process
Of preparing tea. Ways OF packing
tea have been greatly improved, too
institutions for teaching the people
new ways of preparing tea are being
established all over the country. OF
fees for preventing the production and
export of bad tea have been estab
lished. Machinery for preparing tea
is now being installed in Chinese tea
factories. The government also en-.
courages the use of machines. The
green tea is not being colored. The
coloring Of green tea is prohibited
now. The government has established
several Incorporating experimental
stations and more are to be estab
lished to lead the people in the best
ways of planting and preparing tea
The government seeks to increase the
facilities for bringing Chinese tea to
the foreign market. Chinese mer
chants are being advised to open agen
cies abroad. The government has
granted a subsidy to the Chinese tea
guild in London and similar support
will be extended to the enterprising
tea merchants.

"rhe Battle Cry of Peace

"The Battle Cry of Peace" is the
newest and greatest work in the mo-
ton picture field The picture, which
is one of the finest ever shown in New
York, was made under the personal
supervision of Commodore j. Stuart
Blackton, who wrote the scenario and
who calls the film "a call to arms
against war"
Hudson MaXim's book, "Defenseless
America" was the basis for the pro-
duction, and Mr.. Blackton has han
died material contained in that work
in such a way as to wrive home to
the heart and brain of every citizen
the pitiable state in which this coun-
try would find itself in the event of
war with a strong military power.
1t is striking plea for peace by
preparedness" and it lays bare many
facts about the defenselessness of this
country which the average citizen
does not realize Mr.. Blackton rec.
ognizes the fact that real conditions
were unknown to thousands in the
United States and he believed that
these thousands should have their
eyes opened. That he has opened them
with this film no one who sees it can
deny.
This great picture by the movie art
will be shown twice day at the Glenn
mer theater, Spokane, for two weeks
beginning January II.

Over $50 people succumb to con-

Science proves that the germs only
thrive when the system is weakened from
colds or sickness, overwork, confining
duties or when general weakness exists.
The best physicians point out that
during changing seasons the blood should
be made rich and pure and active by TAX
ing Scott's Emulsion after meals. The cod
liver oil in Scott's Emulsion warns the
body by enriching the blood; it peculiarly
strengthens the lungs and throat, while it
upbuilds the resistive forces of the body
to avoid colds and prevent consumption.
If you work indoors, tire easily, feel

TRY THIS EASY WAY
TO CLEAR YOUR SKIN
WITH RESiNOL SOAP

Battle your face for several minutes
working the creamy lather into the
skin gently with the finger-tips. Then
wash off with more Resinol Soap and
warm water, finishing with dash of
clear cold water to close the pores.
Do this once or twice a day, and you
will be astonished how quickly the
healing, antiseptic Resinol medication
soothes and cleanses the pores, re-
moves pimples and blackheads, and
leaves the complexion clear, fresh and
yelvety. In severe cases little Res
mol Ointment should also be used.
Resinol Soap is sold by all druggists.

London.-The battle continues this
week between the Russians and Aus
tro-Germans in Galicia and Bukowina.
The Russians claim further gains, and
the Austrians maintain they are hold
ing their ground. The Austrians have
made determined counter attacks on
the middle Stripa and northeast of the
town of Czernowitz. According to the
Russian official communication they
were beaten back with enormous loss,
while the Russians have made distinct
gains, occupying several Austrian po-
sitions and taking more than 1900
prisoners.
Count Won Reventlow, the German
naval critic, writes TINT the Russian
offensive has been well prepared and
the Russians have great reserves of
men and artillery He considers the
movement, if successful, might bring
Rpmania and Greece on the side of the
entente
Expect No Greek Aid.
Count Won Reventlow's belief con-
corning Greece is not shared in Great
Britain, where the opinion prevails
that the Greek king is not likely to
oppose his brother-in-law the German
emperor, in any circumstance.

Political Crisis Is Over.
The British political crisis over, con-
scription has subsidized for time, at
least. The opposition may gradually
simmer down as did the threatened
revolt against drink restrictions. Most
of the radical section of the labor men,
particularly the socialists, talk of a
strike by the coal miners, which would
bring the wheels of industry to a
standstil and handicap the shipping
industry, which is the heart of the
nations life. There is no strong evil
dence that any important strikes will
materialiZe.
