Antwerp Recoverino.

Correspondence of The Associated Press)-AntWerp which lost it's exten- sive- diamond cutting trade while it was occupied by the Germans, is rapid ly recovering it's place through the re- turn of thousands of diamond cutters who sought refuge in England and Holland
 When the city fell into the hands of the Germans, diamond merchants, brokers, cutters and polishers fled to England and Holland. Most of them sorbed in the diamond trades of the countries to which they fled. In Lon don they settled at Hatton Garden, set up business and quickly became pros porous.
 With the armistice many of them returned to Antwerp, but others re- mained, and this finally aroused the Burgomaster of Antwerp who wanted the industry restored to it's old basis Tempting offers were made but mast CTS and men among the Jews declined all offers unless they were recognized as of Jewish nationality instead of as citizens of the countries in which they were born. The question went before the authorities in Brussels. and the demand of the men vas granted.
 
 merchants and workers of all nat ionalities. except Germans and German Jews are now to be admitted to Ant werp, and hundreds of them are hurry ing to the city. Their former house; i are to be restored to them and the l furnishings and equipment carried of 1 by the GerrnaiS are to be replaced b5 the authorities. ..- {! Before the war, the Saturday nigh boat from Harwich to antwerp was

Vision of an Empress,

Has anyone taken time to think of
Empress Eugene, widow of Napoleon
III, just at this time? Nearly half q
century ago she saw her France over
thrown and outraged and Inundated
and the terms of tire humiliation laid
down in her own beautiful palace at
Versailles by booted and spurred Ger
man insolence. She saw her husband
dethrOned to die III exile. Later she
mourned the death in battle under an
alien flag OF her only son, disinher-
tied.
The dim eyes of the old omar who
has known so much of pOmp and
pride and humiliation and exile, will
now see the authors of her undoing
stripped and bending with bowed head
before, the high court of civilization
and without an %extenuating circum.
stance to plead.
Surely a fitting and dramatic close
to an historic life. rs,

Dr.. Remsen, Discoverer Of ~saccharin,
Mas Satisfied That Its Use Was
Injurious to Health.

A romantic history is attached to
the discovery of saccharin. The dis.
coverer of the chemical derivative of
coal tar, to which the name sacrharin
is popularity given, is DIR. Ira Remscn,
chief consulting chemist of the Unit.
ed States department of agriculture.
He was at first very enthusiastic as
to the possibilities of this artificial
sweetstuff, which has a sweetening
power about 800 times that Of sugar.
Its manufacture was organized on a
large scale, and soon enormous Guam.
titles were being used in making ice.

which Americans are addicted,
Doctor RemsHn was making an in

from his shares in the company when
about five years ago his friend, Doctor
Wylie, head of the United States pure
food bureau, suggested a doubt of the
wholesOmeness of saccharin.
Doctor Remsen thereupon submitted
himself to rigorous tests of the action
of %saccharin on the digestive organ
ard on the heart. AS a result he asked
the department to issue an order pro-
hibiting Its use rs a food-sweetener.

That high prices of household COM
modities are commencing to totter
since the steady flaw of the food pro.
ducts of this country overseas has
ceased is to be noted with gratifca-
tion by the consumer anb the high
cost of living is being given an upper
cut in the jaw and food prices are
going down and taking the count. As
a result indirectly of the investiga
ton Of the commissinn appointed by
federal authorizes the prizes of food
commodities. as< compared with actual
market conditions, taken from Satur.
days daily papers give evidence Of
having experienced quite a drop in
the market: La both the Chicago and
Twin City markets butter has shown
a decline of 10 cents in the past ten
days; within the same time Eggs
went off from l3 to Is cents and
pork 8 cents. The testimony taken
when the big packers were placed on
the witress stanu at the investiga-
tiun by the committee, certainly
makes interesting reading to those
who represent the retail purchasers.
