To Only United States and Japan Did
the War Bring Prosperity, According
to English Authority-Germany
Heavy Loser.

London. actual cost of the
war to European beligerents was In
excess of f20OO0,000,000 ($l00000,-
100000 normal yaluel, represented by
property destroyed losses In invest
ments abroad, depreciation of proper
ties and by pensions, Edgar Cram
mond, English fnancler, told the
Bankers institute at recent meeting
here.
He fixed the following as the real
losses of the European belligerents;

To only two belligerent countries
the United States and Japan-did the
war bring prosperity, Crammond said,
but Spain, Holland, Switzerland,
Greece and Scandinavia also had
grown wealthier. He believed the "liq-
uid capital of the world, now dis
trbuted In centers which are unaccus-
toned to the exercise of their new
powers" would eventually again find
Its chief outlet through London.
America the Gamer.

lions of the United States with Eu-
rope" he said. whereas, In 1914
America owed Europe 100000 600,
ut present Europe owes America e.
OOO.OOO,0O0 (S10000,000, 000)."
Assuming that the postwar pur-
chasing power of the dollar was 20
per cent of its pre-war value, Cram
mond said during the last five years
there had been an actual Increase IN
the national wealth of the United
States of approximately 30 per cent,
and he estimated this wealth now In
the neighborhood of 10000, 100000 to
fS0000.000,0O
The national wealth of Japan, he
estimated, had been doubled by the
war.
Germany Heavy Loser.
On the basis of a postwar mark
valued at 80 per cent Of its pre-war
value he estimated Germany has lost
apart from the indemnity, % per cent
of her national wealth, the whole Of
her mercantile marine, all her colonial
possessions, and practically the whole
of her investments abroad. If the
figures suggested ut the Hythe con
ference, f6.250,000,O00, were fixed as
the German war indemnity, he de-
clared the total losses of the German
people arising out of the war, would
be equivalent to about f15, O00,O 100000,
or onehalf her national wealth.
$50 far as the world as a whole Is
concerned, the principal loss Is In the
fact that Europe is not yet "a going

He said the dominant characteristic
OF international trade in the next ten
years will be a tremendous world de-
mand for capital and the internal
financial policies of the nations should
be framed with due regard to this
condition.

 Horace Fletcher, who gave to the world so much on the way to eat and what to eat, advocated the long masti- cation of foods, chewing twice as long. and in consequence the appetite is satisfied with much less food.
 A simple experiment which has been often repeated is that of chewing q mouthful of bread and butter until if swallows itself without any effort. it will develop a flavor in the mouth which will be surprise to all rapid eaters. The starch is partly changed by the action of the saliva which is never noticed when food is bolted. | On a busy day the house mother who can serve a wholesome one-piece dish which will be sufficiently satisfying is. using economy both of time and of fuel.

ALL AGAINST HOOVER
IN PRESIDENTIAL RACE
Popular Stampede of Convention
Seems Former Food Conserver's
Only Chance.

Washington, April Herbert Hoover
will not be the Republican nominee for
the Presidency unless he overcomes
the combined strength of his four most
formidable opponents, feat which
most far-seeing politicians believe can
be achieved only by a miracle.
Nothing is more certain, as the sItua-
tion is viewed here, that that every
element in the Republican party now
aligned with Senator Johnson, General
Wood, Governor Lowden and Senator
Harding will unite on the showdown to
prevent stampede at the Republican
Convention to Hoover.
If Hoover is nominated, it will be the
result of stampede, not engineered by
professional politicians, but forced by the
resistless power of party sentiment, as
was the case with Woodrow Wilson at
Baltimore in 1912.
No Presidential candidate in recent
times has entered field more completely
set against him than has Mr.. Hoover.
He has gone into this fight upon the IN
vitation of no organization or faction or
concrete element. On the contrary, he
goes in with all old liners and all the
progressive forces alike arrayed against
him. His competitors with their or
ganized following are dead against him.
The professionals of the Penrose type
are against him and many others who
like straight-ticket politics, distrust him.
Can Hoover be nominated at Chicago,
with such a lineup IN opposition TO HIM?
Can he do what Theodore Roosevelt
failed TO do in 1912 and again IN 1916?
Is there enough popular demand for
Hoover to beat down and override the
forces which he must face at Chicago?

DRESS WARM AND
KEEP FEET DRY
Tells Rheumatism Sufferers to
Take Salts and Get Rid of
Uric Acid.

rheumatism IS no respecter of age, sex,
color or rank. If not the most dangerous
of human Affections it is one of the most
painful. Those subject to rheumatism
should eat less meat, dress as warmly as
possible, avoid any undue exposure and,
above all, drink lots of pure water.
Rheumatism is caused by uric acid
which is generated in the bowels and
absorbed into the blood. 1t is the func-
ton of the kidneys to filter this acid
from the blood and cast it out in the
urine; the pores of the skin are also a
means of freeing the blood of this i'm
purity In damp and chilly, cold weathe
the skin pores are closed thus forcing tn
kidneys to do double work, they become
weak and sluggish and fail to eliminate
this uric acid which keeps accommodating
and circulating through the system, event
ually settling in the joints and
causing stiffness, soreness and pain called
rheumatism.
At the first twinge of rheumatism get
from any pharmacy about four ounces
of Jad Salts; put a, tablespoonful in glass
Of water and drink before breaking each
morning for aAveek This is said to elirni-
nate uric acid by stimulating the kidneys
to normal action, thus ridding the blood
of these impurities.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless and

lemon juice, combined with lithia and

G. .O.P. OLD GUARD BOSS BANS
HOOVER'S CANDIDACY

Washington, April Representative
Simeon ID. Fess, chairman of the Repub-
hcan Congressional Campaign Commit
tee, has issued the following statement
on the Hoover candidacy:
The Republican party cannot accept
an internationalist as its standard
bearer. 1t will demand a leader whose
Americanism is not in question nor
whose political views are a matter of
speculation. We cannot go to the country
to contest the fallacies of the Wilson
Administration with an internationalist
attached to the Wilson Administration
as our leader.
Hoover must be greatly embarrassed
in seeking a nomination at the hands of a
party he conspired against with the
party's opponents to defeat in 1918.
He compliments the Republicans by
his unwillingness to stand for the leader
ship which he said in 1918 was alone
the one supreme demand. He evidently
desires to be with the winner in the race.
Representative Fess statement is taken
in political circles to mean that all the
power of the Republican Old Guard will
be used to defeat Mr.. Hoover.
