What Thousands Have Found Gives
Relief From This Painful Trouble.
Rheumatism is a constitutional dis

or external applications. It must
have constitutional treatment.

purifying and tonic medicine, Hood s

condition of the blood on which
rheumatism depends, and gives per-

said the public fears the economic
disturbances their coming might
cause" in referring to the proposed
visit of the much talked of million
Americans" 1t explains that
everything is already beyond reach
in price and there is no room in the
hotels. What will conditions be
when ii becomes necessary to lodge
and feed these new guests who DO
not look at the cost of things?"
To remedy such conditions, the
governmental agency suggests that
when heavy travel begins in April
conditions will be more nearly
normal. A definite plan to reserve
rooms for coming tourists has been
inaugurated already. All hotels
in France. numbering about $4,000.
have been asked to submit their
rates and to pledge themselves not
to charge more in the case of the
ment-conducted travellers.
The lodging difficulties and the
high cost of everything is recognized
by all but it is believed a great flood
of travel will come in spite of the
cost. The governments aim is to
see that travellers are not charged
more than the information agencies
estimate and that they are given
benefit of advice and aid in making
their stay in France entertaining.

Coming From U. S.

Paris, Dec. 3.-American tourists
are being urged by the government
to come to France. Hundreds of
thousands OF them. possibly n mill
lion, are expected to bring here
millions of dollars that will help to
rebuild France. Aside from the
idea of cementing the two nations
friendship through better acquain-
tanace, the tourist movement is re-
garded by those interested as a great
new business enterprise Immediately
and immensely profitable and one
that will grow. Incidentally, il is
said, the coming of Americans who
can afford European travel at its
present cost will aid in the various
forms of foreign financial aid France
is seeking.
a government department called
the National Office of Touring was
established recently to engineer a
publicity campaign for foreign visi-
tors and to supervise service bu-
reaus to make tEavel pleasant and
to prevent overcharging. An un-
official corporation supported by
railroads, hotels, travel agencies and
others who profit by touring has
been organized. 1t is the French
Touring Company. Through it
agents are being sent to the United
States and elsewhere. Americans
will be offered French railroad
tickets. travel programs and similar
information.

TEXTILES-Mills Reduce
Price of Gray Goods

Business in the cotton goods market
yesterday was relatively quiet, sales
being largely confined to better grades
Of long cloths, which were taken by
jobbers, and light buying of gray goods.
Brokers and commission merchants
expressed some surprise over the dull
ness of the market, as the sudden firm
ness developed at the close of last
week convinced many that buying
would be resumed more actively the
present week. The seasonable apathy
OF the market was augmented, it was
believed in some quarters, by the in
creasing uncertainty over the labor
and industrial outlook
Jobbers were attracted by mill quota
tions on long cloth goods and in many
instances bought stocks, not immedi-
ately required, to carry them over un-
til next spring, convinced that prices
will advance. Goods of this character
were sold by mill agents for % cents
yard for GA squares, 26 cents for
6S-72s and q cents for 72-76s. Mills
representatives are endeavoring to
confine speculation in these fabrics
to a minimum by selling only to old
customers and then in limited lots.
For the first time in over two weeks
goods declined to a level slightly above
that of goods in second hands. The
first hand Quotations dropped yester-
day to 512 cents a yard for 64-GOs,
and second hands were offered for u
cent less. Buyers were scarce, and
all transactions were on a basis of
immediate delivery.

Beet Sugar Producing AREAS
In Europe Redistributed

Prior to the war Germany theld first
rank IS a beet sugar producer, Austria
hungary second, Russia third, France
fourth, and the United States fifth. AS
considerable part Of the production
OF Austria Hungary occurred in the
section now designated as Czecho-Slo-
vakla and considerable proportion of
that of Russia occurred in the areas
now known as Ukraine and Poland, the
rank of European production by politi
cal divisions has been entirely disar-
ranged, and it seems probable that no
one of the European countries. except
Germany, will this year produce as
much beet sugar as does the United
states. Latest estimates, according to
the National City Bank, put the pro-
auction OF Germany at about 100000
tons, while that of Czecho-S sd ovakia.
Ukraine and Poland will apparently
fall materially below that of the United
states, which, for the current year,
Will range between 100000 and 500 900
tons, estimated upon known figures of
acreage, and dependent to consider
able degree, of course, upon weather
conditions for the remainder of the
year.
The worlds production of sugar in
the current crop year, the bank saws.
will probably be about $1,000 900 600
pounds, against $4,000, 100000 in 1914
and the share produced from beets
about 20 per cent, against AT per cent
in 1914.
