Within the last decade the American

industrial activity by better working condi-
tions, higher wages and raised standard
of efficiency in all production, in which

supplies human wants. Within that period

Two Billions for Shin,

A MER1CA will make better investment
1 In this war than the expenditure OF
$4,000. 100000 for ships. This enormous
expenditure means two things. First. it
means that the U-boat campaign must event
ually be defeated. Next, it means that the
United States will come out of the war the
greatest maritime nation earth.
Either one OF these achievements would
justify the outlay. One means an earlier
peace, victorious peace. The other means
an expansion Of American foreign trade be-
yond the dreams Of men four or five years
ago. Together they mean that American
enterprise is 100 per cent alive, and that it
must play a far greater part in the future
OF the world than ever before. This will be
true, In the first instance. for the reason
that the issue of the war will have been de-
cided by reason Of American resources, and
in the second. for the reason that more Of
the world will have to do its business In
American markets.
Many OF the staggering expenditures au-
thorized for this war Is much money
thrown away. in so far as permanent invest
ment goes. 1t will be treasure wiped out
But the building of ships is the establishment
OF weath-producing enterprise. 1t is
preparation for peace conQuests no less than
war campaigning. With 100000 tons Of
shipping in service at the end of the war
America will have the most magnificent mer-
chant fleet a1oat 1t will be modern, up
to-the-minute feet, which will compete with
the war-scarred ships Of England and the
few remaining vessels of the once great Ger
man armada.
The decision Of the Shipping Board to
launch a new shipbuilding program more
than twice the tonnage Of that originally
designed. shows that the organization of that
board was one of the most fortunate circum-
stances Of the war. There is little doubt
that Congress will act without deIay in n-o
Fiding the money asked for Members Of
that body long ago were converted to the
view that ships a vital necessity in the
present situation. They grasped this idea
when the original s75O,O0O.0o0 was appro-
priated for merchant tonnage.

1t is difficult to avoid the conclusion that
those lines OF business which have had their
profits increased by the war should con-
tribute literally to the general financial
losses the country will sustain because OF
the war. 1t is equally important that no
business which suffers especially by reason
of the war should have its burdens unduly
increased by war taxes.

A close connection exists between
these two cold weather and rheu-
matism. Prof. Alex. Haig, of London,
has the most followers in the medical
profession in the belief that the pres
ence in the system OF uric acid, or its
salts in excess, is the real cause OF rheu-
matism. Everyone has recognized the
difference in the appearance OF their
water as soon as it gets cold; there Is
often a copious sediment of brickdust.
Several causes may lead up to an
accumulation of uric acid in the system,
which, in turn, causes rheumatism or
govt, or creaky joints, or swollen fingers,
or painful Joints. For one reason the
skin does not throw off the uric acid, by
profuse sweating, as in the hot weather,
and the kidneys are unable to take care
of the double burden. Another reason
