SOUP KITCHENS FEED 10000.
Much Destitution and Alarming Death
Rate in Hamburg

Copenhagen, Aug. l5.--More than $780,
600 residents of Hamburg are now being
fed in the municipal soup kitchens ow-
ing to the difficulty of obtaining food
supplies for individual households The
number has fallen off somewhat now
that fresh vegetables are obtainable, it
having reached the maximum in April,
May and June, when between 230 900 an ,
100000 persons visited the kitchens daily
for their meals 1t is expected that the
number will increase during the coming
winter. The above figures do not take
into consideration the school kitll ems,
where mid day meal is supplied for
pupils, nor the canteens maintained at
many factories and in the shipyards.
The summer vegetable season. has
slightly improved the death rate, which
during the first week of June was 40
per cent higher than. the birth rate, 200
births being recorded to o9s deaths. The
excess of deaths has fallen to about 80
per cent.

HOGS HIGHER; BEEF FIRM.
Former Selling at Record Prices-Ar.
rivals at Brighton Market Light.

Brighton. Mass, Aug, l5.-New higi
records have been made in hog prices
both live and dressed having been mate
rally advanced during the week. BEEF
stock ia firm for all choice cattle, but
low grades are dull and easy.
Hall e. Lowell had one choice pair Of
beef steers, weighing $3.50 pounds, which
sold at ll1s cents. This was the high
price of the day: ordinary tops selling
at colo cents, with good cattle at ia
cents and light cattle at 6q7 cents.
Nine cents was about the top for
fancy beef cows and heifers, choice stock
being firm at last weeks prices. Gamer
cows were lower at "A @41s cents, or
binary cows at 4A@5 cents, good cows
at 5h@6 cents and average tops at 6h2
al cents.
Offerings Of beef bulls were larger than
usual, but sales were slow, average sell
ing at 7Hs@s cents, with a few fancy
higher. Ordinary bulls sold at 6@7 cents
and bologna bulls at 1905 cents.
Shippers were complaining of the con-
dition of market for calves, though some
small lots of fancy calves brought l4@
l4b cents. Bunch lots of fancy stock
sold at 1908 cents, with fair lots at 10
oil cents and grassers and drinkers at
7@9 cents.
Sheep and lambs were very scarce,
with prices nominally unchanged.
Another big advance is noted in hog
prices, live weight selling at H@l7lA
cents. and occasionally IVA cents for
choice, with rough lots at l6h@l7
cents. High prices have ruled so long
that the country has been combed for
marketable hogs, much of the stock com
ing forward being a size much smaller
than in normal years.
Offerings of mich cows were small

Sales were slow, but prices were fairly
well sustained. Ordinary mixers sold at
S40a $50, and from this up TO Sl00@Sl25,
NOR for fancy mixers.
Continued decrease is noted in the To-

TO HAVE WILSON
FIX COAL PRICE
Lakes Region and New Eng
land Facing a
Famine
CANADA GETS
SUPPLY CHEAP
Operators Trying to Escape
Drastic Action by the
President

Washington, Aug. l5.--As a last re
sort to meet the threatened coal famine
in the Great Lakes region, President
Wilson will be asked to use his author.
| ity under the food control and priority
shipment bills either to commander coal
or expedite its transportation from the
mines.
This situation developed yesterday at
conference of coal producers and deal
ers with Chairman Peabody, of the de.
Tense councils coal committee. AT the
same time, the mine owners admitted
shipping vast quantities to Canada at
from S4 to $3.50 a ton despite the
shortage in many parts of the United
States
They blamed Secretary Baker for this,
stating that when he refused to accept
the Peabody agreement for So coal many
big consumers refused to lay in their
usual stocks, anticipating a lower gov
eminent price. As a result a shortage
in the Great Lakes region and New Eng
land exists and with only So more days
before the lake shipping season closes,
100000 tons must be supplied.
Chairman Peabody and leading coal
operators are making strenuous efforts
to solve the problem without forcing the
president TO use his summary power.
Until the president authorizes the com
mission to sit with powers granted m.
der the food bill, the government looks
with disfavor upon any movement by
the states to assume charge of the coal
situation. The national defense coum-
ell fears if the states mix into the coal
control trouble it may serve TO seriously
embarrass the government in its plans
for sweeping action.
Justice Carter, fuel dictator" Of M
nois, had planned yesterday to arrange
an inquiry into coal transportation prob
lens. The operators have agreed to ac-
cept his decision on reasonable coal |
prices.
1t is understood, however, that the
government does not wish him to fix |
any price schedule now IT il pointed |
out that if the states fix prices then the !
federal trades commission establishes
another price, under authority vested by
he president, confusion may arise with
he coal operators, like the railroads, as
he result OF having too many bosses.

orthodoxy was punishable under certain
conditions, whereas voluntary conversion
to orthodoxy was not punishable For
conversion to orthodoxy by violence or
threat the penalties were mild and, in
practice, were never enforced and non
Christians virtually were not at all pro-
tected against violent conversion.
The law now under consideration rec
ognizes the complete liberty of all Chris

Why Metals Rust.

Gold does not tarnish like other metal
because it is not acted upon by oxygen
or water. 1t is the moisture In the at
mosphere which causes other metals to
tarnish owing to their oxidation. Water
contains large proportion of oxygen.
1t is the oxygen In the moist air com
bining with the surface of the metals
that covers them with tarnish. Plati-
mum, like gold, resists the influence Of
oxygen and moisture and when pure
neither rusts nor furnishes. Aluminium
also does not rust, neither hot nor cold
water having any action upon 1t. Sill
yer furnishes on exposure to the air,
the agent producing this effect being
the sulphur. Iron is the metal which
furnishes and rusts most easily, its ok
dization proceeding until the metal is
completely eaten or burnt away with
the rust.
