Makes Life Worth Living

You cannot be constipated and happy
at the same time If almost every
thing you eat distresses you, and brings
on headache, gas on the stomach,
heartburn, eteS you can easily elm
mate these conditions BY taking SEW
EN- BARKS, the fayorite root and herb
remedy for stomach disorders.
SEVEN Banks will expel the dis
tressing acids, and dangerous poisons,
and help you back to good digestion
and active health, making life worth
living again.
Do you sleep well or are you trou-
bled with almost sleepless nights ?
While there are many causes for sleep
lessness, it generally happens that de-
ranged stomach, liver or intestines are
the real cause of the trouble. If your
appetite Is not good, or food distresses
you, or the bowels do not move daily,
you can get quick relief from these
disagreeable conditions by simply tax
ing 10 to 20 drops of SEVEN BARKS
in a little water after meals; this is
natures remedy, made from the ex-
tracts of root and herbs, has stood
the test for nearly 80 years, and will
certainly give you a feeling of new life.
If you would have the glow of health,
and Danish the blues, don't neglect to
ask your druggist for SEVEN BARkS.
Costs but 80 cents.--Adv.

The decrease in government stocks was
due in part to the purchase Of govern
ment holdings Of their own brands OF
high grade spelter by thel arger pro-
ducers
From the foregoing figures and the
records Of the bureau of foreign and
domestic commerce it is calculated that
the apparent consumption for the pc.
Rod was l59,50l tons, as compared
with 2l2,660 tons in the last half of
1915 and 2Il $40 tons in the first half.
In addition to the zinc produced from
ore, 1923 tons were redistilled from
zinc ashes, skimmings and dresses.
Much Of this zinc was of grades above
prime western, and the total, added to
the primary output, gives 262,S30 tons,
consisting Of 30,l54 tons of grade A,
25,s02 tons Of grade B, 43,4Sl tons Of
grade G, and l63,393 tons of grade D.
The output in the last half of 1918
was 3,l34 tons Of grade A, 29,s65 tons
Of grade B, 5000 tons Of grade G, and
III, 500 tons of grade D, showing de-
creased production of the higher grades
and an increased production Of grade
d. or prime western metal for the cur
rent period The decrease in the higher
grades was due to the decrease in de-
mand, a result of the close OF the war
