Europe Against America

London Saturday Review.
The feeling of apprehension with
regard to American competition,
which has been growing on the
continent for several years, found
expression again in the meeting of
Austrian manufacturers held at
Vienna last week. There is little
doubt that it is likely to lead to ac-
ton of some kind when the renew
al of the commercial treaties comes
up for cOnSid Grafton. If this should
be the case We may anticipate a
commercial war of the same nature
which appears to be opening be-
tween the United States and Rus
STA. The recent action of the Sem
ate with regard to reciprocity treat
les does not open up hopeful view
of possible concessions on the other
side of the Atlantic In Germany
the Kaiser and the Agrarians are
as one in their dread of American
expansion in the future, and to
this the former idoeS not hesitate
To give open expression. AS we
have already indicated, French op-
lnlon Is beginning to be agitated as
to the lSthmian Canal, aud advoea
ties an international combination
against the growing aggressiveness
OF American foreign policy. All this
strengthens our own hands IN deal
ing with America, for it pu's n..
10 the position of being able to
throw decisive weight into either
scale IN not remote future.

Keep the Balance up.

1t has been truthinlly said that any
disturbance of the even balance of
health causes serious trouble.
Nobody can be too careful to keep
this balance mp. When people
begin to lose appetite, or to get
tired easily, the least imprudence
brings on sickness, weakness, or
debility The system needs a
tonic, Graves it, and should not be
denied 1t; and the best tonic of
which we have any knowledge is
Hoods SarSaparilla. What this
medicine has done in keeping
healthy people healthy, in keeping
up the even balance of health.
gives it the same distinction as a
preventive that it enjoys as cure.
Its early use has illustrated the
wisdom of the old saying that a
stitch in time saves nine. Take
Hoods for appetite, strength, aud
endurance.
