The authorities have been advised

Of industrial activity that will be re-
quired and that is In part already
planned, offer a peculiarly inviting
field to American capital and enter
prise. Tentative steps have already
been taken by representatives of Amer
lean engineers and business men in this
work.
Aside from its attractive business
aspect. the enlistment Of American
money and effort in the great task of
reconstruction that will remain at the
end of the war will tend to cement still
more closely the ties that bind the two
great Republics together. and will en-
able Americans to discharge in part
the debt they owe TO France for her
friendly interest in the welfare and
progress of the United States from
the beginning of its life as a ma
ton.
In judging the industrial status of
any nation, its production and con-
sumption OF coal, iron, and steel and
the growth of its trasportaIl Il syS-
TENS are highly significant factors,
In 1869. French industries consumed
21 million tons of coal, Of which l3.5
millions were taken from home mines
In 1912 the consumption was I'll mil
lions, Of which Al million tons were
taken from home mines.
In 1869, the French output of cast
iron was 1,3S0.O00 tons. and of steel.

duced 5,311 900 tons Of east iron and

of the United States and Of France en-
titled to as much respect as those OF
the mightiest empire. In defense Of
these principles, France is engaged In
a death struggle with militant autoc-
racy and ruthless aggression, and 1t IS
not surprising to learn that she has
loaned to her allies and to other friend
to further the cause of democracy. 1t
IS in keeping with Americas traditions
that since the date on which We for
mally aligned ourselves with France
and her allies in the great struggle, our
Government has lent to France $780,
100000.
1t Is eminently fitting that America
should now be fighting on French soil
to make the world safe for democracy.
The liberty that America has enjoyed
for 40 years France helped her to
achieve. The swords Of Lafayette and
Rochambeau, aided by the guns Of De
Grasse upon the high seas, assisted In
cutting the foreign ties that bound the
American colonies prior to the War for
Independence, and from the private
purse of King Louis himself game the

as We can see. without any special rca-

why the chIorophyll of vegetation is
green and why the blood of animals is

SLEEPINESS AFTER MEALS.
II indicates Something Wrong With the
Digestive System.

A condition of drowSineSs, which
may become an irresistible desire to
take Il nap shortly after eating, Is
usually Il Very accurate Indication that
something is wrong with the digestive
apparatus. Usually this form Of indi-
gestion is chronic in character, and ap-
parently there is no other evidence that
it exists, or at least such evidence
would not be detected by ordinary OBJ
seryation.
In such cases the desire to take nap
comes oil suddenly, but the nap is a
very short one. ordinarily not more
than fifteen minutes. Sometimes the
desire for these indigestion maps"
comes On at other periods than those
immediately following meals, but in
such cases this desire comes regularly
at certain periods Of the day. The
cause. however, is the same as IN cases
where drOWsincSS comes on Immediate
ly after he meal. the difference III time
being simply the difference IN the in
teryal required for the food to reach
the portion of the intestinal tract that
is not working properly.
Occasional drowsiness following an
unusually hearty meal should not be
confused with the type Of periodic de-
sire for a short nap referred to here.
Such drowsiness indicates simply that
the digestive apparatus is temporarily
overworked and may be IN perfectly
healthy condition This sort Of drowsi-
ness, if INDUCED usually persists for
several hours, whereas the maps caused
by indigestion are always Of short du-
yation.-EXchange.
