EVERY HAND
REASONS FOR OPTIMISM
Esrope's War Finds Its Echo IN
American Industry Wrongs
Nest Be Made Right

Europe's war finds its echo in Amer
ica's industry. What contrast could
be greater; on the one shore of the
Atlantic all activity seemingly de-
structive IN purpose; on the other
shore, every energy directed along
constructive lines; absolute waste of
life aid property as opposed to pro-
duction Of wealth and betterment of
life.
Enough though it Is at distance
that we view the terrible disaster that
threatens the whole continent of Eu-
rope. optism seems a lost art. Yet
sooner or later this epoch of catas-
tiopne must be followed by period
of repair and the longer the period is
delayed the greater will be the needs
involved in the Reconstruction and
replacement Where war has torn
down at terrific speed, peace must
build up slowly.
The interruption of International
trade stopped our exports Of cotton
and copper aud our imports of dye
stuffs and uotash, whereby several
important industries were well nigh
paralized Yet startling as has been
this disturbance of the whole balance
of industry. certain fundamental
facts and laws remain for us to build
upon and indeed the lower course of
foundation stones for optism has al
ready been laid.
Evidence of business betterment is
before lis on every hand, and the rea-
sons for optism are many. The United
States farmer has harvested five
billion dollar crop and there is high
price market for all our surplus food
stuffs: already our grain is pouring
across the Atlantic The millions of
men who are fighting are not working.
and yet these hordes of soldiers must
be clothed and equipped as we'll as
fed, Foreign orders have started fac
tory operation which at once tends to
relieve the stagnation in the steam
coal trade. the steel situation has
turned from serious depression to
rapid Improvement and the. whole
mineral industry may soon expect to
share in this general business inn
provement.

ON DRUG EVIL in TENNESSEE.

Nashville, Tenn, Dec. 5.--Dr. Lucius
P. Brown returned to his Office this
morning after attending the session Of
the American Health association IL
Jackson. DR.. Brown delivered an ad-
iress before the association on "The
Anti-Narcotic Situation in Tennessee 2
In his paper. DIR. Brown set forth
some interesting data on the Tennes-
see situation, which proves interesting
'eading. A startling fact shown was
hat 81 per cent of all the registered
narcotic users in the state were wo-
men.
Morphine is the prevailing oplate
lsed. OF the 1884 holders of permits il.
he state. 2,O62 use morphine. lS9 ,use
ia gum opium and twenty
line hereoin. 1t is estimated by DR..
Brown that only about one-fifth of the
lrug users are registered.
1t is shown that dope" using is
more prevalent between the ages OF
orty-five and fifty-fiye, or about mid
lie age, than at any rate other period
If life.
According to Dr. Brown there is
more ignorance among the physicians
of the country concerning the drug
evil than on any other sugject. The
state department of pure food an6
lrugs has health exhibit at Jackson
which has been the subject OF
much favorable comment from the
people and the press of that city.

a pain in the nerves. What you want

Apply Sloan's Linimnt to the surface

quickly to the sore, irritated nerve and
allays the inflammation. Get a bot

Bolivia, rubber and coffe from Brazil
and Venezuela. nitrate from Chile.
platinum from Colombia, cacao from
Ecuador, wool from Peru, and Uru-
quay. What can we export in ex-
change?
To increase industrial prosperity
this country needs to export finished
rather than crude products and to inn
port raw materials rather than manu-
features. Bettefment of industrial
conditions can come best through ex-
pansion of manufacturing The in
crease of the element of labor in the
product exported will mean that we
are not bartering away our heritage
of natural resources but rather that
we are using these resources as
basis simply for the expenditure VI
labor, which renews itself.
Coming down to bottom facts, the
United States will profit by the Eu-
ropean war only as the nation makes
larger and wiser use of its mineral re-
sources. Foreign markets in the main
can be won and held only as the
quantity of quality of the Made in
America" product rivals that of the
goods offered by the other producing
nations. The buyer, whether he be in
the Far East of in South America,
wants the most and the best for his
money. Yet il would seem safe rule
of national conduct that industry
should begin at home. and therefore
every industrial opportunity in Ameri-
ca should be improved If these op-
portunities are recognized and grasp
I'D every one of us can indulge in
optimism.
