favor of the United States. In normal times excess balances are paid in geld, although the gold Is not always shipped to the United States. It is usually held to the credit of American exporters and bankers in the London banks.
 Now 1t is vital that payments be made on account of this great trade balance, much the larger part of which was cre- ated by our exports of provisions, food, horses and mules and other commodities not regarded as munitions of war. Ens- land cannot square the account with us this year by applying our purchases lh Great Britain or in Europe to the account because these purchases have been' com paratively speaking, very small. There remains, therefore, only one way by means of which payment on this account can be made either by shipping gold to the United States or securities or both. Therefore, it is reasonable to presume that this consignment of last week or go'o and securities is to be applied to iiquida- ton of Q part of Englands indepteo- ness to us on account of purchases oi food and other commodities not wariike.
 Likely to Be Continued
 If this inference be correct, then it is certain that further supplies of gold or securities or both must be consigned lo the United States and transactions oi this k1nQ are ukeiy to oc SoAAsAN0 throughoutthe fall and winter
 It Is. of course, the hope that some -ra ngem ents-very likely highly arti |ficial-will be perfected speedily which will put an end to the demoralized coll d;tion of the foreign exchange mar ket. It must be an original plan, ana vet our entire international nnancihs since August of last year has been iperated along new and absolutely orig Cor mart HOW new an doriginal the financing Of last Au- gust was Is shown by the fact not ye' reported that the very difficult legal questions which arose when 1t became necessary for us to send gold In large amounts to Ottawa, Can., were apso'ute- lly new. To answer them entailed the l.experience and ability of some of the abiest lawyers of New York city. And if the legal questions which 1t was nee es sary to answer required original work so also the financial questions made necessary constructive work along ah' solutely original lines.
 Will Find Solution
 If it were possible in August ane early autumn of last year to work out satisfactorily new problems there seems to be no reason to doubt the abil. lity of the international fnanciers American and English, ultimately tt De rfect a method which will correct ths l prevailing demoralization in foreigr exchange.

l. H. HALL WAS
 UNABLE ID WORK ! FOR MONTHS Pratt City Carpenter Now Back on Pay Roll and
 Rapidly Regaining Health

S'l had been in failing health for more than year" said T. H. Hall. a well known and highly respected carpenter of b1l Third street, Pratt City, Saturday. For the past few months" he continued
 T had to quit work as my strength had Failed me and I could no longer keep up.
 My appetite had left me- felt nervous and worn out all the time and was trou- Died with constant, hacking cough. At times. I could Scarcely draw a long breath and could sleep but little without experiencing a kind of smothering feel ing. l would get up of a morning feeling depressed and all tired out and had no energy or ambition about me I fell off terribly in weight and was in bad shape generally
 T was told" continued MT. Hall. that my trouble was pleurisy and bronchitis and had taken all kinds of medicines but none of 1t did me a particle of good. Finally. I had about given up hope and Just sat around in listless sort of way.
 "A few weeks ago, I read of a medicine called Tanlac and saw many testimonials in the papers about it. so I went to Bir- n,fngham and bought a bottle, though had tried so many remedies that I had about lost faith in all of them

When the first bottle | about it helping me. so I went to Morris drug store in Ensley and got the second bottle. I am now on the third bottle and I want to say that Tanlac has put me back on the pay roll. I am now at work for the first time in several months and am getting stronger every day. That terrible cough has left me and I eat and sleep as well as I ever did. I don't have that tired-out, depressed feeling any more and I believe my troubles are about over.
 '"Tanlac is sure a great medicine and I hope everyone who needs something to build them up will take it.
 Commenting on the above statement the Tanlac representative said:
 "Catarrh of the stomach Is a very prev alent malady and often leads to serious complications. Frequently the lungs be- come diseased by the extension of ca tarrhal Inflammation through the bron chiai tubes to the lung substance.

exchange will fall But there are now many more than 100 men in the United States whose dealings with Europe are so great and many that they are eager to sell foreign exchange, while on the other hand there are comparatively few whose dealings with Europe require them to purchase foreign exchange. In other words, the dealings are all one-sided Of course, American exporters cannot af- ford to take greatly depreclated foreign exchange in payment for their sales of commodities. There will surely come con- gestion, perhaps even trade paralysis. un- less some means be devised whereby ex- change will be readily accepted by Ameri- can exporters. Should great credits be established here, they are likely to be drawn upon in terms of dollars even in London, so that. for the time being at least, dollar exchange will be pre-emi- nent.

srILL MORE HORSES.

That "horseless age" SO often talked
about as very near and sure, fades
back into the distance when the sta.
tistios Of farm animals in the United
States are given little consideration.
The facts presented by the latest re-
ports Of the department of agriculture
do not point in that direction. 1t seems
that in 1913 the number Of horses In
this country increased by about $685..
900. Their aggregate value rose more
than S1S,400, ,000 Yet In the same year
the scarcity and high cost of food for
live stock made 1t more burdensome
than usual to keep horses and the
number Of automobiles used by farm
ers was materially larger than ever
before While there was q gain OF
8eS, 900 in horses on farms and ranches
the number Of cattle, including milk
COWS. increased only 100. 1000, and there
was loss of 1,7e3,OOO In sheep and
a,24b,000 In swine. The effect OF the
short crops Of corn and hay was clear
ay shown in these figures, but the de,
mand for horses was strong enough to
offset all adverse conditions. In any
survey OF the prospects for draft anil
mails mules ought not to be over.
looked. Their number Is more than
one-fifth as great as that of the horses
and their average value is higher by
about s14 head. It Is a significant
fact, for this reason, that there were
$4,000 more mules at the end Of last
year than at its beginning.
