In view Of conditions in the for
elgn exchange market and the sud
den practical Importance assumed
by the need Of extensions Of credit
to Europe yesterdays news that
the War Finance Corporation would
soon have ready the billion dollar
fund for American exporters as
sumed unusual significance. Appar-
emily these loans will be made only
to American exporters, for the law
provides that the corporation shall
be empowered TO make advances 10
"hny person, firm, corporation or
association engaged In the business
in the United States Of exporting
thcrefrom" commodities, or to any
bank conducting business in the
United States" which shall have
made such advances to such an ex-
porter. 1t Is question whether this
method would be as effective as
direct loans, based on adequate &C.
curity, made to the European pur-
chasers themselves. The present
machinery would provide that the
government advance money to the
American exporter so that he could
extend credit to the foreign buyer.
Whether the American exporter
would be willing TO reGxtend this
credit for period long enough to
satisfy the European buyer is an
interesting question.

rope began to slip swiftly through the
hawse hole, and We heard the sharp
splash as the iron fiukes struck the

Thin PEOPLE
SHOULD TAKE
PHOSPHATE
Nothing Like Plain Bitro-Phosphate
to Put on Firm, Healthy Flesh and
to Increase Strength, Vlgor
and Nerve Force.

Judging from the countless preparations
and treatments which are continually be-
ing advertised for the purpose of making
thin people fieshy, developing arms. neck
and bust, and replacing ugly hollows and
angles by the soft curved lines of health
and beauty, there are evidently thousands
of men and women who keenly feel their
excessive thnness.
Thinness and weakness are often due
to starved nerves. Our bodies need more
phosphate than is contained in modern
foods. Physicians claim there is nothing
that will supply this deficiency so well as
the organic phosphate known among drug
gsts as bitro- phosphate. which Is mex
pensive and is sold by most all druggists
under a guarantee of satisfaction or money
back. By feeding the nerves directly and
by supplying the body cells with the nee
essary phosphoric food elements. hitro-
phosphate should produce a welcome
transformation In the appearance: the In
crease in weight frequently being aston
ishng.
Increase in weight also carries with It
general improvement in the health.
Nervousness, sleeplessness and lack Of
energy, which nearly always accompany
excessive thinness, should disappear. dull
eyes become bright and pale checks glow
with the bloom Of perfect health.
CAUTION: - Although bitro phosphate
is unsurpassed for relieving nervousness,
sleeplessness and general weakness. 1t
should not, owing to It's tendency to In
crease weight, be used by anyone who
does not desire to put on flesh.

MUST BE ATTICS SOMEWHERE
Possibly They Differ From Those Of
an Earlier Generation, But They
Are Not All Gone.

An eastern newspaper laments the
passing of the attic. The modern
home Is without this historical mu-
scum of the family. And as for the
flat-why, the attic Of the fiat is a
miserable little storeroom In the base
ment. Where the attic once -four
ished In the old-fashioned mansion
with the clock on the stairs, there Is
now luxurious suite for the cook, or
for the boys. And the walls have pa
per with pink roses on it, and there Is
plumbing and all that sort Of thing.
Where are the trivial fond records Of
the family's long or recent past now
kept?
In this section Of the country we
take heart Of grace. A sale to aid the
cause of woman suffrage reveals the
outpouring, If not of the old familiar
attic, yet something that must have
taken its place-possibly the larger
and more frequent closet with win
dow In it."
The attic may go, but the attic
spirit remains. Somebody In the world
somewhere wants these things. They
come out and are snapped up" If
there is no attic In the modern house
there must be something that CORE
spends to it. Is 1t big closet some
where, or Is there room at the top
that still gathers the odds and ends?-

expedition of some Importance, the cul-

coast, part of some scheme of their
chief, In the spells of which they ex-
pected to share. Moreover this boat

those crowding near me, spoken In
nearly every language of the world.
Much could not translate, yet enough
reached my ears to convince me OF
the temper Of the crew-their feverish
eagerness to be again at sea, under
command Of captain whom they both
hated and feared--a cruel, cold-blood-
ed monster, yet a genius In crime, and
a natural leader of such men as these.

WOMEN NEED SWAMP

Thousands of women have kidney and
bladder trouble and never suspect it.
Womens' complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble. or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy
condition. they may cause the other or
gans to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss of am
bition, nervousness, are often times symp-
toms of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. Dr..

be just the remedy needed to overcome
such conditions.
