Keep Your Lungs Strong

This advice is doubly important with
the knowledge that every three minutes
some one in the United States succumbs
to consumption and many refuse to
realize they are afflicted until it is too late.
1t is after colds or sickness, from over
work, combining duties or when general
weakness exists that tubercular germs
thrive because the resistive powers of
the body are weakened. .
Only with fresh air, sunshine and
abundant rich blood can one hope to
arrest their progress, and the concen-
trated fats in SCOTS Emulsion furnish
fuel for rich blood, and its rare nourish-
rnent helps strengthen the lungs while
it builds up the forces.
Z. If you work indoors, tire easily, feel
1anguid or rundown SCOTS Emulsion is
the most strengthening food-medicine
known and is free from alcohol or stupe-
tying drugs. Avoid substitutes.

MANUFACTURERS HIT BIZ WAR,

Despite the so-called war orders,
says an official analysis Of foreign
trade just issued by the Department
of Commerce, the exports Of manu-
features or all kinds, other than
foodstuffs, have been less than i'm the
similar period before the war"
The statement refers to the foreign
trade for the ten months ended in
April, which shows trade balance Of
almost a billion dollars.
THE nominal sales of manufac-
lures during peace" says the state
ment, were greater than those under
existing war conditions. Because Of
this fact and the extraordinary
Shrinkage of exports of crude ma
terials. it is found that the net in
crease Id our total exports has been
wholly in foodstuffs-"
One of the outstanding features Of
the analysis Is that more than forty
eight million dollars worth Of Ameri-
can horses and almost ten millions
of dollars worth OF mules have been
fed to the battlefields. Ten million
dollars worth were sent to Europe
1n April alone
In Europe alone, Of the worlds
grand divisions, has American foreign
trade increased European nations
took $287 900, 900 more Of Americans
goods during the ten months than
during the same periods the previous
year. North American nations took
5000 900 less; South American ma
lions, $33,OOO,OOO less; Asiatic na-
lions, $S,500,OOO less; African coun-
tries. $1,000 less, and Oceania coun-
tries. So. 200. 900 less.
