STORY OF NUMBER 40

40 years ago an old doctor was put

specific blood poison. and time proved
that the cures were permanent. After
many years secured tho prescription

my U. s. DispAnsatory and other,
authoritative books on medicine and
found the medical properties set
down as follows: Employed IN dis

and liver troubles. chronic rheumatism.

GREAT GAINS IN MOTOR EXPORTS.

A report Of motor vehicle exports TO al coun-
tries during the calendar year 1918, just fur
nished to the National Automobile Chamber of
Commerce by the federal bureau Of foreign and
domestic COMMERCE. shows that 1O,3O8 trucks
valued ct $26,814,952 and 1886 passenger au-
tomobiles valued at $36.278,292 were shipped
abroad last year. In the fiscal year ended June
so, 1914, the last twelve months period before
the war, we exported 784 trucks worth $1,181,-
GIL and 2s.306 passenger automobiles worth
$25, 392, 1868.
Analysis Of the exports in 1918 as compared
with 1914 shows that while the exports of pas
STA and British South Africa decreased notably
and increased only slightly in Australia. they
doubled to Canada, increased twenty-eigh fold
to Japan, twelve fold to Mexico, nearly nine fold
to Chile and Spain, six fold to Cuba and China,
more than seven fold to Uruguay, more than
Quadrupled to the Dutch East Indies and almost
doubled to Argentina.
OF the truck exports last year, on the other
hand. more than half Of the 10,308 went to Eng
land and France alone, while in 1914 less than
one-third of the 784 shipped abroad went to these
two. There was hardly any country in the world
that did not take more American trucks last year
than four years ago. The ratio of increase was
much greater than in the case Of the passenger
automobile, even to countries outside of Europe
Japan, the Philippines, Dutch East Indies, Cuba,
Mexico and Peru are becoming truck using coun-
tries. To lesser degree the same development
is observed in other countries all over the globe
American automobiles and trucks are now be-
ing exported to seventy-five different countries,
colonies and dependencies, including Iceland and
the Farce Islands, Labrador, the Barbados, Alden,
Chosen, Persia, Siam, Canary Islands, Madagas-
car, nearly all South American and Central
American countries, and to innumerable islands
in the East Indies and Oceania.

SOLDIERS FINDING JOBS.

Elected in the statement of the United States
Employment Service that more than rs per cent
Of returning soldiers and sailors who need as
sistance in finding jobs are placed through the
federal agency.
According to Mark L. Crawford, federal di-
rector, of the average of 10000 men discharged
weekly from the army, 80 per cent, or $4,000,
must find new jobs, and 20 per cent, or $4,000
men, are placed in employment each week
through the government employment exchanges.
These figures are based only upon placements
we have been able to verify" declared Mr.. Craw-
ford. 1T is estimated that at least per cent of
the men find jobs through the service which are
not recorded because placement cards are not
mailed back or for other reasons"
Road building and other public works will pro-
vide employment for those who have not been
placed in other lines.
Full cooperation and assistance of the Depart
partment of Agriculture in expediting resump-
ton and progressive road building were promised
state highway departments by Secretary Of Ag-
riculture Houston, at a conference Of twenty
seven state highway representatives held in
Washington last Saturday.
A canvass taken during the conference showed
that at least half billion dollars will be ex-
pended roads during the next eighteen
months. This work then, it is estimated could
furnish employment for over 100000 former
soldiers and sailors.

EUROPE LOOKS TO AMERICA.

The dependence which Europe places upon
America in world reconstruction is expressed in
the statement Of John Glasworthy. noted British
author and dramatist now visiting in this coun-
try. who says:

America in many ways. She viii now be more

the destiny Of civilization may hang for the next
century. If she mislays, indeed, if she does not

soon develop the intolerant provincialism which
has time and again been the bane Of the earth

RUNNING AROUND IN CIRCLES.

Opponents of the League of Nations have
nothing to offer in its place except return to
the old order which brought about the great war
and the proposal of League of Nations. In
other words, they are running around in circles.
: AS is customary, it is the few opponents of
international progress who are making the most
noise. The unnumbered millions who are striv-
ing for international unity say little, believing in
deeds rather than words, but it might be well
if they spoke more frequently. There are super
ficial neutrals who are likely to be impressed
by the rawlings of the few howlers. and who will
thus be persuaded to get under the wheels of the
car of progress instead Of getting in it.

For the sake Of Sweden's feelings, it Is, per-
