India Now Fixes World Price of Silver

THERE was expended in the United
] States last year SSO,OO0,OOO for
gold ornaments, as against $51, 900, 900
in 1918 and $3s,OOO,OOO in 1915, de-
clares Charles w. Henderson, stat
istician for the United States geo.
logical survey.
This amounts to $21,OO0,OOO more
than the gold mines of the country
produced last year, he says. In the
first ten months of last year there was
sold in Paris 100000 pieces of gold
and platinum jewelry and %, 900
silver pieces, as against 100000
gold and platinum pieces and 17,OOO,-
600 silver pieces in 1913. The price Of
gold in France has increased from 81
400 francs per kilogram to $500
francs.
Within the last few months the
United States has secured 80 per cent
of the gold and silver exports Of the
world, $50 coming to this country from
Belgium, France, Germany and other
countries. Maiden Lane In New York

He REMEMBERED THE Law
Boy Scouts Explanation Somewhat
~Disconcerting in That 1t I'M
piled So Much.

The boy scouts were telling their
scoutmaster of some of the good turns
they had done during the last week.
He was having this done for the bene-
fit of n of the city school teachers
who was visiting the meeting. One Of
the little scouts said, 81 helped an old
lady across the street."
The next little scout looked at the
visiting teacher, who happened to be
his teacher, and who also was in the
early thirties. II brought my teacher
a pitcher of well water when she was
not feeling WELL" he told the scout
master.
The teacher smiled, "Why didn't you
say you helped another old lady?' she
asked.
The retort that came back staggered
her. The little scout said sweetly, "A
scout is courteous."-Indianapolis

II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
It is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is PLAINTIFF article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a
preparation l have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other Kidney remedy has SO large a
sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
20 many people claim, that it fulflls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; ~corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive a sample bottle of
Swamp-Root by Parcels Post. Address
DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y,
and enclose ten cents; also mention this
paper. Large and medium size bottles
for sale at all drug stores.-Adv.

What government do the present oc-
cupants of the embassy represent?
Whence comes the money for it's
maintenance?
Is it true that the state department
is about to order them to get out of
the embassy within a certain time?
To non of these questions has a
conclusive answer been given.
1t is known that an investigation is
under way to determine Swho-what

Malic acid.
Calcium magnesium.
Charles L. Parsons, secretary of the
society explains:
Prohibition, in destroying the wine
industry, also removed the sup
ply of cream Of tartar, which was ex-
tracted from deposits in wine casks.
Chemists, however, have discovered a
method by which malic acid is drawn
from benzine and used as a substitute
IN the manufacture of baking powder.

insecticides, made chiefly of lead COM
pounds, were beyond the reach of the
poorer farmers.
"By Nh. Cottrell's discovery arsenic
is recovered from smoke from copper
shelters, and this has made it possible
for chemists to substitute calcium
magnesium for lead, reducing the cost

A new fuel fluid Of greater heat
value per unit than either coal or fuel
oil was described by Jerome Alexan-
der, a New York chemist. The paper
declared the new fuel utilizes coal
waste and cheap tars, these ingredi-
ents being dispersed in fuel oil by col
loidal action, and that the addition Of
a certain fixing agent, whose nature is
kept secret, results in a fuel which
combines the valuable qualities for
heating Of both oil and coal. Peat,
Ignite, ~cellulose waste, sawdust and
similar inferior fuels may be utilized
in the new process.
1t said that the new fuel could be
piped, stored, and burned virtually as
fuel oil is, and that as a fuel for
steamships it is virtually double the
value of either coal or present forms
Of fuel oil.
