Older BUT STRONGER

To be healthy at seventy, prepare at
forty, is sound advice, because in the
strength OF middle life we too often forget
that neglected colds, or careless treat
ment of Slight aches and pains, simply
undermine strength and bring chronic
weakness for later years.
TO be stronger when older, keep your

Nevertheless, the British record in
maintaining overseas trade in spite
of the war is marvellous. Perhaps no
other people could have matched 1t.
Recently it was reported from New
England that the textile mills were no
longer running on war contracts. No,
indeed. We are importing textiles.
Great Britain is exporting them. In
ton months Of 1916 we imported from
Great Britain 5,OO0,000,0OO pounds
of woollen cloth and nearly 100000
pounds Of dress goods at more than
a dollar a pound. In the same ten
months we imported from Great
Britain 100000 square yards OF
cotton cloth. That ought 10 be more
20 our chagrin than the woollen
goods imports. We sent the raw
cotton TO England and bought back
from her the manufactured cloth.
That is 10 say that actually at this
time we are importing skilled labor
from Europe. Evidently the British
have made special effort TO keep up
their export trade in textiles. This
was the easier TO do because so much
female labor was available 20 take
the place Of the male workers.

There has been a bad turn in Brit
ISL trade. The November report Of
imports and exports has been re-
ceived with much disappointment.
The rise in exports continues, and 1t
is very remarkable under the circum-
stances. but the rise in imports has
begun to 90 very much faster, so
that the adverse balance now IS in
creasing at a surprising rate. In the
month Of November, while exports
increased nearly S35,000,OOO over
those for the corresponding month Of
1915. exports increased nearly $685.
600. 900. The adverse balance Of
trade for November was nearly $50
600. 900 above that for October and
SEQ. 100000 above that for Septem-
Der. When the import figures are
analysed it appears that the in
creases occurred principally in raw
materials, food, fruits and tobacco.
This statement Of British trade does
not include the activities Of the gov
ernment-neither its imports for war
purposes nor its resale Of war mer-
chandise to its allies. 1t covers only
the civil trade. There are only two
wavs OF correcting an adverse trade
balance. One way is TO buy less;
the other is TO sell more.
The November trade returns have
stimulated the demand that consump-
ton be curtailed eve are almost
weary Of pointing out" says The
Economist, "the obvious and urgent
necessity for keeping the import bal
ance at the lowest possible figure.
Every penny of it, except that por-
ton which is paid for by services Of
shipping, insurance, etc, has TO be
liouidated by the export of gold
OF securities or by credits raised
abroad"

That the earnings Of the railroads
Tor the calendar year now ending
will touch new peaks, both for gross
earnings and profits. is a statistical
fact of some interest and an eco
romic fact Of great Importance, but
Wall Street does not know what to
90 with it for purposes Of specula-
ton. 1t does not know whether to
buv railroad stocks on the idea that
I'm spite Of enormous earnings they
have not gone up great deal IN
rrice. or 10 sell them on the eXpe-
rience that railroad earnings are
the last to rise and the last to fall.
No other alternative is known in
Wall Street. If you cannot buy rail-
road stocks on their good earnings
then YOU must sell them in spite OF
their earnings. It naturally does &C.
cur to this community that one rea-
son for the strength of railroad is
sues in the recent decline was that
SPECTATORS had been doing so very
little in them. There were so many
other things to Go that nobody had
been obliged to trade in railroad
stocks. so they were let alone, not
withstanding the incentive Of rising
profts. with the result that the
profits never were much exploited IN
rrices. Therefore, railroad stocks
we're never very high or very vulner-
able. and when the evil Of liquidation
came suddenly they were little hurt.
And now they are unresponsive alike
TO the notable statistics of their earn
ing power and to rumors of how dis
sstrously the costs of producing
transportation are rising so that
presently there will be no profits at
all. Spectators do not know how to
lake hold Of them. However, that IS
the spectators dilemma.
