SAYS WEALTH OF WORLD
 BUT SLIGHTLY IMPAIRED

NEW YORK, Dec. 7.--George E, Roberts, assistant to the president of the Nation.,. City Bank, writes that in spite of the destruc- tion wrought by the war, wealth and producing equipment of the world is only slightly impaired, while that of the United States is greater than ever. He does not con slider the debts incurred impossible burden. While taxes will be heavy in this country, they will pass out of the pockets of taxpayers into the Treasury, and out of the Treasury into the pockets of bondholders, who are practically the same people as the taxpayers. There is no obstacle to continuance of business activity in the future, except the difficulty of readjusting business to peace basis.

WHERE FIND

When Ponce de.Leon searched for the Life

life everlasting, he failed to find it. But in
our everyday walks Of life, it is The Spring
that brings our M-health. One Of the chief
reasons why the rundown man finds himself
in . bad state Of health in the spring, is be-
cause he has spent nearly all his hours for the
past four or five months penned up within the
walls o., house, factory or Office. 1t is the
reason for our diminished resistance-that Is,
lack Of outdoor life coupled with perhaps over
eating, lack Of good exercise, insufficient
sleep and constipation. In other words, We
keep feeding the furnace with food but do not
take out the "%clinkers," nor sift: the system,

the liver active and the machinery at work.

DEALING WITH BANDITS.

Amsterdam. May. l9.-Berlin Is
dealing drastically with the. taxicab
bandit. A Berlin detective heard a
taxicab driver refuse an ordinary
journey unless he received a IS tip.
The detective jumped on the seat Of
the cab to arrest the driver, who
threatened to run his machine into a
lamp post if the detective did not get
of. The latter thereupon drew his
revolver and overpowered the driver,
but not until they had come to grips
and both tumbled into the street. The
chauffeur was fined $500.
