! porary investment, it is estimated that

This fact alone shields us against the in
ternational financial arrangements which
usually occur as one of the immediate ef-
fects of the outbreak of foreign hostili-
ties. Instead of being exposed to the
remittance of balances due to foreign
countries, we are in the position of a
largely creditor nation and able to call
home a heavy amount of loans extended
to other countries. 1t is not easy to over
estimate the value of this situation.
Should the Government be driven to the
last resort of war, the banks would be
strongly protected, and so the whole
structure of commercial credit would be
safe. Whatever other dangers or losses
we might have to face, we should be safe
at the point where our internal system
of finance is most dependent.
The fact would greatly contribute to-
wards averting the interruption of indus
try which ordinarily sets in with the oc-
currence of foreign hostilities, and there
fore should tend to prevent any appre-
hension of really serious business dis
turbance. Moreover, war, notwithstand-
ing its destructiveness, is attended with
its own sources of demand, which are
by no means inconsiderable. The effects
of that demand Immediately appear in
quickened markets, while the effects of
the destruction do not show until a much
later period The first effects of the
war of 1876 We're apparent in a great
imitation of prices and an abnormal ac-
tivity of trade; the reactionary derange-
ments were delayed until the panic of
1873. AT the beginning of that struggle,
We had only $50, 600 of gold in the
country; to-day, we have $3.50, 900 900. War
always becomes a serious question of
gold resource; and this difference between
now and then is an advantage of the ut
most value; the more so as the threaten
ed war would be of far inferior magni-
tude to that of thirty-fve years ago.
Still, although we might safely count
upon these ameliorations of war when it
had fairly got under way, its immediate
effect would be sharp shock to all the
markets; but, as that result has already
been anticipated. it's severer features
would soon disappear, and speculation
would become a conspicuous feature of
business at large, but especially in
stocks

We do not always realize how much
work our kidneys are required to do.
They are the great filters of the body,
separating the poison and waste mate
rial from the blood. They work away
day and night, whether we sleep or are
awake.
There is nothing more dangerous to
health and strength than any derange-
ment Of the kidneys.
1t is easy to tell if we have kidney
trouble by observing few of the more
common symptoms.
If you find it difficult to hold your
water, or necessary to pass it frequent
ly. or are obliged to arise often during
the night, your kidneys are out of or
der.
AS they reach a more unhealthy
stage, a scalding and irritation takes
place as the water flows, and pain or
dull ache in the back makes you mis-
cradle. If the water, when allowed to
remain undisturbed for twenty-four
hours forms a settling or sediment. you
are on dangerous ground due to most
serious kidney or bladder disorder.
If neglected now, the disease adj
vances until the face looks pale or sal
