 'd am touched, Bates, by your protestations.' His grace was cold ly supercillious. Unfortunately, this is the only service I desire of you at the moment.
 Bates was reduced to despair.
 T can't, your grace! I can't!'' he cried. Tt is a hanging matter, as your grace well knows
 ''Then there is no more to be said" Inwardly Buckingham was very angry. Outwardly he remained icily cold. You have leave to go, Bates. and I shall not further require your services. If you will apply to Mr. Grove he will pay you what moneys may be due to you"
 A wave of the white jeweled hand dismissed the crestfallen little scoun- drel. The. Dukes trump card had failed to win him the game. and he knew not where to find another agent for the enterprise which now ob- sessed him.

 BOTULINUS POISON

Botulinus poisoning is one of the forms of food poison which often end fatally. It is formed by the action of bacteria on nitrogenous matter. It is found or formed in canned meat, fish and vegetables.
 Heat will destroy the bacillus but sometimes the poison will remain and cannot be detected except by expert chemical analysis. This is the real danger from this form of poisoning.
 However, no general alarm against the use of canned vegetables is to be sounded. If the housewife is sanitary in her home canning work and will take the time and trouble to boil can ned vegetables such as beans. peas, corn, asparagus and beets for half an hous before serving. the poisoning will be avoided.
 In the acid fruits such as peaches, plums, cherries and raspberries, this botulinus poison has practically no danger.
 In the commercial products put out by large canning companies there is rarely any danger owing to the ex- treme care and sanitary conditions under which these products are pro- duced.
 There arc cases recorded of this food poisoning, where there was no evidence of toxic influence, and others where the food was spoiled and yet had no poisonous effect. One reason for the high death rate from this poisoning is that many physicians are unable 10 cope with botuism, even after the symptoms have been diag- nosed.
 The condition brought about by the poisoning is a true intoxication, being formed in the food and absorb ed by the gastric. intestinal tract. The toxic condition causes marked ihrom- bus. Formations in both arteries and veins with hyperaemia and severe hemorrhages in the meninges tmem- branes of brain and spinal cordD and central nervous system. Death usual ly results in from eight 10 3G hours.
 Every housewife should take the to boil home canned vego- tables before eating. Jt is better to be Safe than sorry.

Etheredge, who well Knew the attraction that held the Duke fast ir Town, and who had, himseifs just completed his preparations afnrg de. parture, came to make the. last oi several recent attempts to recsn his friend to his senses, and persuade him to leave London for shealthier surroundings.
 Buckingham laughed at him with out mirth.
 You alarm yourself without occa- sion, George. This pestilence is born Of nncleanliness and confines it. self to the unclean. Look into the cases that are reported. The out breaks are all in mean houses in mean streets. The plague practices a nice discrimination, and docs not venture to intrude upon persons of quality"
 W'Nevertheless, take my precau- tions," said Mr. Etheridge. producing . handkerchief from which a strong perfume Of camphor and vinegar diffused itself through the room. And I am one Of those who believe that flight is the best physic. Be- sides, what is there to do here? The Court is gone; the Town is hot and rocking as an anteroom Of hell. In Heavens name let us seek a breath Of clean, cool, country air"
 "Pish! Ye're bucolic. Like Dryden we've a pastoral mind. We'll. well. be off to your sheep. We shall not miss you here"
 Mir. Etheredge sat down and studied his friend. pursing his lips.
 And all this for a prude who has no notion of being kind! Let me perish, Bucks, but l don't know you."
 Etheredge got up, and went to set a hand upon his arm.
 'If you stay. and at such a time. you must have some definite purpose in your mind. What is it?"
 What was on my mind before you came to trouble it, George. To end the matter where should have be- gun it." And he adpted three lines Of Stockings.
 'If Of herself she will not love.
 Myself shall make her.
 The devil take her!''
 Etheredge shrugged in despair md disgust.
 "You're not only mad, Bucks" said he. we're coarse. I warned you once Of the dangers of this thing. I've no mind to repeat myself. But youll give me leave to marvel that you can take satisfaction in ."

This will be paid as a part OF the
general operation for June.
The British government on June 10
is scheduled to make a payment OF
s69, ,000, 900 as an inStallment or 1ts
wartime borrowings from the United
States However. this payment must
be used in retiring wartime securi-
ties of this government so mat as
a result of the June operation the
gross debt of the United states gov

finish the year with surplus larger

this will enable use of greater snare

Officials declined today to give def
mite figures on the amount of the
surplus with which they expect to
end the fiscal year, June 80, but
rough calculations placed the figure
around s400.000.000. Original esti-
mates by the Treasury upon which
the tax reduction program was based
by Secretary Mellon showed sur
plus of s323, 100000. With the 25 per
cent reduction in taxes made opera
tive by the new tax law, receipts in

EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
By George T. Hughes
TWENTY-EIGHT ARTICLE.
"Business Mans Investment"

A term constantly used by financial
writer's and advisers is business
mans investment" Generally this
phrase is applied to securities carry
ing a certain degree of risk. The
theory seems to be that business
man is able because of his presum-
ably greater resources and of his
knowledge of affairs to take greater
chances than one who is entirely de-
pendent for living upon the income
from his investments and who is not
in touch with changing conditions in
the business world. Such a business
man by diversifying his holdings is
able substantially to increase the
average return. 1t is taken for
granted that the business man in
vestor will be able to recognize the
development of adverse conditions in
the industries represented by his Sc
curities and will dispose of the same
at a loss if necessary.
Doubtless there are such business
men, but my experience has been that
the average business man is little
better qualified to protect his inter-
ests in this way than is the veriest
tyro in financial affairs. The trouble
investment develops into a business
mans speculation and the rules for
successful speculation, admitting that
there is such thing as successful
speculation. are direct contradictions
of those for investing. Successful
speculation involves the Willingness
and the ability to take losses, small
losses before they become large ones.
The investor who is lured into TAX
ing the so-called business mans in
vestment is seldom temperamentally
fitted to practice this rule. He holds
his business mans investment" long
after it has become a speculation and
then sells out at heavy loss just
when the real speculator is ready to
buy. The theory fails In another
respect. The successful business man
must of necessity devote most of his
time to his own business. He cannot
afford to occupy his mind about his
securities. This is even more true of
professional men. The moral is that
unless you are exceptionally qualified
yourself can rely implicitly upon
some one else it is better to leave
the business mans investment to
others and confine your own holdings
to securities of higher grade.
