| Many European workers in gold and silver
whose art is famous in Europe, and who could
not have been bribed to work ia this country
couple of years ago, have come to these shores
seeking work which can not be found in Europe.
The great De Beers syndicate in London has
prevented an influx of gems ,on the market, by
purchasing privately the collections OF jewelry
offered by prominent women in the European
centers, and this has undoubtedly held up the
price for diamonds. Many great American Jew
elers sent over representatives to Europe soon
after the war broke out in the hope that they
could pick up quantities of gems cheaply but they
came back empty handed owing to the activities
Of the De Beers syndicate. @t"# ~, Is.
Jewellers expect the demand for their wares to
increase as the country grows in prosperity, and
business that was at the lowest possible ebb a
little over year ago, now has gilded possibilities.

physicians have been jumping from one
drug or chemical to another ever since Lister
found way to check or prevent the infection Of
wounds. Doctors have tried friars' basam, car
bolic acid, iodoform and dozens OF other antisep-
tics, some of them very costly, and now seem to
have gone back to old-fashioned household dress
ings Of past years and even past centuries.
On the battle6elds of Europe sugar, salt, tine
ture Of iodine and common garlic have superseded
drugs and chemicals with Understanding names
Sugar is used as dressing for wounds already
infected The British government has found that
wounded men on ships whose injuries have been
washed with common sea water make better re-
coveries than those treated ino6ed hospitals, the
conclusion being that the waters OF the ocean are
an ideal antiseptic Tincture Of iodine, prepare
ton old as the hills, is the favorite protection
against l9ckjaw, and SO it goes.
'Of all these sNersionsStea grandmother rspeci-
hcs, however. the discovery that garlic is almost
g cure-all, is the most striking, declares the New
York Commercial, Doctors who prescribe and
use only the more costly and new tangled prepare
tions imported from Germany will have to give
respectful attention to garlic for its efficacy is
vouched for by the London Lancet on the testi-
mony OF two eminent London surgeons. Garlic
applied to wound stops the infection and heals
quickly, whereas modern antiseptics used in fash
ionabe practise injure the tissues. Garlic has
been tested thoroughly at the Paddington infirm-
airy in London, England, as well as in field hos
pitfalls in France. z
The story of the rediscovery of garlic possesses
human interest. An old French peasant woman
was found to have dressed the sores and wounds
of soldiers in the war zone with remarkable re-
suits. An army surgeon investigated and garlic
is now sold by the ton where it was formerly sold
by the ounce in English chemists shops
Garlic is also found to be effective in prevent
ing tuberculosis and in curing it in its early stages
The common onion, cousin of Glove Of garlic, is
good for colds. Hindus have used plasters OF
garlic for ages. Just when spectators have cor
nered the drug and chemical market army doctors
find substitutes in things that are cheap and
plentiful.

War Police In Paris

PTNO correspondent of the New York Times,
n M. f. Laurent, chief of the Paris police dur
ing the war; said that since the outbreak Of the
war such crimes as murder, burglary and high
way robbery have practically been unknown in
Paris The city has, of course, responded to the
gravity of the situation and the night life has in
consequence almost stopped. All restaurants are
closed al ten-thirty, o'clock in the evening, and
no restaurant that serves wine is allowed to have
music. The dance halls have been closed, and
the public must depend on the drama and moving
pictures for amusement. The police censor plays,
operas and motion pictures, taking that any
thing which tends to make light of the cause for
which France is fighting is eliminated. Accord
ing to the chief of police, the force has sent 1000
men into the army, and when, after the battle of
the Marine, it was thought that Paris would be
attacked all the police were used to man the de-
lenses In spite Of this apparent laxity in the
discharge Of ordinary police functions, crime has
almost ceased, and the apaches. famous in thrill
ing plays, and stories, have apparently turned
their attention. to the enemy.
yG Although the government secret service has a
special staff for handling spies, the police are
constantly on the lookout. They also keep under
surveillance the Germans who have long been
residents of Paris but who have been guilty Of
no act which might cause them to be informed
The. population is lessened by the presence of
many soldiers at the front and the absence of
foreign visitors, while the traffic problem has al
most ceased to exist, because nearly every auto
mobile is in the hands of the government
But the principal reason for the success, of the
police in this time of stress seems to be the fact
that the people on their good behavior. Habi-
tual criminals of military age have gone to the

public, and their punishment is severe

An American Monopoly

LEW people realize that the biggest monopoly
= in the world exists today as a result of the
war, This monopoly came into existence and
had its inception shortly after hostilities assumed
serious proportions.
II is difficult to comprehend that this monopoly
not long ago estimated that its liabilities were
100000 in excess of its assets, and yet was still
continuing business cheerfully, with faith that
the necessary money would be forthcoming
This monopoly is the Belgian Relief Commit
tee, headed by Herbert Hoover, an American resi-
dent Of London, who has engineered the feeding
OF seven millions of people in Belgium who other
wise would die of starvation Mr.. Hoover as
,spmed a task of gigantic proportions when he
took over this work, but it had to be done by a
neutral, and he abandoned personal affairs, and
without compensation fact, paying some ex-
penses himself-attacked the work of saving
starving nation.
Gifts to Mr.. Hoover and his organization have
been generous" said one man who has personally
inspected the work "but the gifts have been little
in comparison to the value OF the services of the
commission"
