FRENCH PRESIDENT
ADVISES REDUCTION
Better. for. France to Accept
Less , 7 de uiity Than to
Break With England.
A .despatch from Parts says:—
President Millerand .intervened in the
repara,tien negotiation's on Thursday:
and as a result of his peace -malting
efforts the Dower demand for an
indemnity total of 200,000,090,000
gold marks, whieh strained :he rela-
tions between the French and the Br-
tieh delegations, was thrown aside and
the negotfations4 will henceforth pro-
ceed on the 'basis of the Boulo i e plan
i;
of last July,, width fixed the total at
100,000,000,000 rnerks gold, cermet
value, payable in 42 years, with in-
terest, bringing the grar3 total pay-
ments to about two hun fired and fifty
billion gold marks.
Downer's plan would have made
Germany liable for more than four
hundred billion gold marks ultimately.
Ars a result of tlis situation M.
Dornier may resign as Fromeh Fin

BLOOD OF ANIMALS
INSTEAD OF MEAT
Diet of .Preserved Blood Advo-
cated by Doukhobor..
A despatch from Calgary says: If
proposals mads` by Peter Vieregin, head
of the Doukhoboau in Canada, are
adopted, as he hopes they will be, the
eating of meat in the civilized' world
will be entirely done away with, and
diet of preserved blood, drawn from
live e&�ttle, will take its place. Isar.
Veregin has made repeated tests, and
is convinced that the form of susten-
tion that he proposers will be far more
beneficial to the human raoe than
meat .can be, and., further, that its
world-wide adoption will cause the
world's supply of cattle' to be re-
plenished in a 'very short space of

The thrifty Turk does not paint his
house, not because he cannot get the
paint or because he likes the look of
it better unpainted, but because the
shabbier the outside of a building in
Turkey the lower is the tax. But that
is a good deal like bur own system,
under which increased neatness is sure
to be seized upon by the assessors as
an excuse for a new rate. There is
much to be -said for the scheme of re-
valuing farm realties only once in five
years unless the property has suffered
meantime from fire, flood, earthquake
or other disaster. •

-London's ancient law courts
enjoyed a red letter day last
week when for the first time in

Six women silting with six

most sensational trials before
Justice Icor ridge, who recently
heard the Marlborough case.
The women jurors sat in the
second row of the jury box and
attracted almost as much atten-
tion as the case itself.
