HARD QUESTIONS ARE EASY 10 ASK Lady Propounds One About Vitalitas Which Comes
 From Volcanic
 Substance

Among the inquiries daily received re- earding Vtalitas is a letter from one lady who asks
 What is vital force? Tn some of the newspaper articles l have seen about Vitalitas l have noticed the statement that it puts vital force into weakened and diseased portions of the body. Please tell me what that means"
 It is much easier to ask questions than to answer them. But this much may be said in reply Vital force Is the natural principle of animated life It is the living or magnetic fire" that pervades all liv- ing bodies. The activities and functions of the living body depend upon this vital force. f Where it is run low, Is lacking by reason of disease, overwork or worry Vitalitas recharges the whole system with it. It Is purely nature product. Scl- ence merely extracts it in condensed liquid form from the volcanic substance in which 1t is found. Every atom of it is health giving and disease banishing. Such disorders as indigestion, bilious- ness. rheumatism, impotency, debility, catarrh and in fact all Arrangements of stomach, liver, kidneys and blood are overcome by Vitaiitas.
 We want you to see the demonstra- tion and sample Vitalitas today at Averyt's drug store, 1O9-111 Twentieth street. or write there for information.

New York, October 29.-Sir George Paish of the British treasury. in America for conference on adjustment of credit conditions between this country and Great Britain, conferred here today with the committee controlling the affairs of the New York stock exchange. It is said he outlined his views on economic aspects of the war and expressed the opinion that American exchanges should be re- opened as speedily as possible.
 Many of the obstacles recently in the path of financial and commercial progress have been removed, Sir George declared, pointing to what he regarded as infallible signs of restoration of confidence both here and in England. He told the com mittee he believed liquidation of Ameri- can securities by English holders would be small when the time came to resume market operations, and that American financial resources would not be touched in the absorption of such offerings.
 No Definite Information
 Sir George said he was still without definite information as to when the Lon don stock exchange would reopen, but his latest advices were that all the lead ing English financial institutions were orlxing in concert toward reopening
 Apropos of Sir Georges visit the stock exchange committee today was petitioned

ERWIN POPE AGAIN
 GRANTED RETRIEVE
Governor Says He Will Make Final Decision in
 Case Soon

Montgomery, October 29.-(Special.) ) senteced to pay the death penalty by juries of Calhoun county. four times granted a new trial on an appeal to the supreme court and four times given a reprieve by the governor of Alabama, is the record of Erwin Pope, negro, charged with the murder of James Me Clurkin, a prominent white farmer of Oxford. The latest chapter in the cele- brated criminal case was written to- day, when the chief executive granted an additional reprieve of seven days to the condemned negro, his sentence hav- ing been oommuted until Friday, No vember 6. In announcing a fourth re- prieve for Pope. the governor stated that he would reach final decision in the case before next Friday the stay of sentence having been granted In or der that he might further review and consider the records In the case.
 Pope's case is probably the most celebrated in the criminal annals of the state and few have created more gen eral interest throughout the state al large. He was first convicted of the murder of McClurkin several years ago and an appeal was taken to the su. preme court. The result was a new trial for the condemned man, and thereafter followed trial after trial and reversal after reversal until the court finally refused the fifth appeal. The court s final decision was announced early in the spring of this year.

taxation. and the encouragement of good road construction"
 MT. Davie believes that 1t would be wise for the state to attempt further regulation of the liquor traffic He is a believer in the theory that female suf- frage would work advantageously for all the people. He will introduce a bill pro- viding for compulsory tax for schools, this tax to supplant the poll tax, another providing for compulsory education, an- other providing for free textbooks in the elementary grades of public schools and another providing for the creation of 2 uniform textbook law.
 The future representative of Bibb be- lieves that the convict lease system should be gradually abolished, and that the fee system should be destroyed. He will support a measure providing that a fraction of the earnings of convicts be transmitted by the state to the de- pendent families of convicts He declines to commit himself on the question of a new constitutional convention.
 The fact that MT Davie is fortified with all the art and skill which is the natural asset of those people who are born in Barbour county, guarantees that he will be a valuable member of the legisla- ture-even though he does believe in the efficacy of woman suffrage.

Indications Are New York Is Rapidly Becoming Worlds
 Clearing House
EXPORTS ARE MAKING
 BIG TRADE BALANCE
The Belief Is Strong in Financial Circles That the War Is to Be Continued For Into
 Next Year
By HOLLAND

New York, October 2s-(Speeial.)- )-Pos- hbly as a result of the conferences which have been in progress between Sir George Paish, who is the official adviser for the British treasury, and members of the ad- ministration at Washington and, in ad- ditIon, some of tho representative bank CTS of the country, a somewhat exhilarat- ing report has been in circulation for a day or two in tho financial district. It is vague and circulated more in the form ot inquiry than as statement of fact It may have arisen because at some of these conferences statements have been made that if our exports continue in quantity and money value proportionately to the increase since mid-September this year, then the United States and New York as the financial center, may estab- fish such relations as will cause New York to become-until peace Is established the commercial clearing house of the world.
 If our exports are maintained within the next six months, and certainly if they are increased approximately rapidly and in as large amounts as have been characteristic of this foreign trade move- llients since mid-September,- we shall ac- cumulate a credit balance based upon this foreign trade far in excess of any which I've have heretofore been able to estab- fish in any year.
 The wekeiy reports from the custom houses give statistics of this increase for the past six weeks. In the financial dis trict In this city, and in some of the large financial centers elsewhere, repre- sentatives of the nations which are now at war and of some of the neutral na- tions are making heavy purchases of American commodities.
 They are also seeking to establish credit Air New York against which they can draw drafts in payment for these com modities as they are delivered. In finan- clal circles the belief is strong that the var is to be continued far into the next year. While Sir George Paish has been lextremely careful in making statements of any kind, nevertheless some things which he may have said or done lead to the impression that he looks for a contin- uation of the war for many months. If the war be prolonged there must be con tinued purchasing of American commodi- ties. careful estimate has been made within a few days of the amount of in- debtedness on current account as it is called, or, in other words, debts for which Tayment is now due. showing that it has been considerably reduced since the con- ference with the federal reserve board and representatives of the 12 federal re- serve districts on September 1. Then the estimate was that the United States owed

 DECLARES WILSON

Milwaukee. Wis, October 29.--The Uni ted States has two and a quarter million miles of road of which not more than 10 per cent can be classed as improved roads" said P. St. J. Wilson. assistant director of the United States office of public roads, in an address here today to the Northwestern Road congress.
 Extreme localization Is the chief cause of our inefficiency as road makers, Mir. Wilson declared. "The remedy" he said, "lies in state control of the entire mileage of the state, not merely of highways im- proved with state funds"
 A. D. Cash, president of the Illinois Highway commission. said that Illinois planned a network of 1s,oOo miles of state roads. connecting all centers. to cos. t180, ,000,00o.
