score being II to 4. Cooper pitched
a good steady game. At no time dur

fans felt alarmed at the score. How
ever Friday afternoon, at p. IN. we

OUR COUNTRY
BY Edgar A. Guest,

By Edgar A. Guest,
In the Detroit Free Press.
Blue are her skies and bright.
Fair are her fields today.
Hearts here with joy are light
Happy our children play.
Fathers and mothers smile
After their tasks are done;
Here CLEANS, for mile and mile,
Grain in the golden sun.
Here gentle stars above
Look down on peaceful scenes
Here is a land to love,
This is what freedom means.
Streams here are pure and clean,
Orchids now come to fruit.
Land where no work is seen
Born of the brawn of brute.
Firesides with love aglow,
Homes that with laughter ring
These are the joys we know.
Land of mems honest toll.
Land where no shell careens
Staining with blood the soil.
This is what freedom means.
az
Land of mans love for man.
Home of the brave and true
Land where the humblest can,
His way his goal pursue
Land where to God we pray
Not for the strength to fight.
But TO be shown the way
! Ever to keep the right,
This we are boasting Of,
These are the joys We know.
This is the land we love
/ Our task TO keep it so.

TIE BREAK IN THE EXCHANGE MARKET.

The sudden ord great break in the value of foreign
exchanges the natural effect of oversaturated
market Europes inability to pay her American imports
in commodities piled such amount of foreign paper
that could not be absorbed and the excessive supply
produced corresponding decline in price
AS logical result it is expected that Europe largely
will crta its purchases in this country and that the fall
ing off in exports will create lower price level in this
country. This should not be in the least alarming In
fact it should prove to be blessing to America and to
Europe for it scarcely be denied that the upward
trend of prices market owing to excessive exports
could not be continued much longer without causing ntol
cradle and menacng conditions.
The fear expressed that diminished exports would be
productive of unemployment is not we'll founded, for it
stands to that goods at lower price command
larger sale than at higher price. When through lower
quotations exports the balance iii favor grows
smaller, foreign sales will ascend correspondlngy.
Moreover it is reasonable that the days
by Europe will gain in productive power and thereby be
enabled continually to greater part OF It's purchases
in commodities. For the present workngmen will be
fully occupied in supplying the home market that has be-
Opsided through excessive production in luXu
ries and under production in necessities.
The breakdown in exchanges will be instrumental in
bringing about better balanced domestic and foreign
market.

suits like Tanlac | hove been pre-

results. Personally | had suffered for
years from stomach trouble and rheu-
matism and had devoted my best
thought trying to find relief but to
no avail. After eating, gas would
form in my stomach and affect my
heart, causing poor circulation, cold
hands and feet. dizziness, peculiar
feelings, terrible headaches. and also
cramps. The rheumatism panied me
so | could hardly stand to move my
legs or arms.
i had patient who had also suf-
fered for years with the same trouble
rs mine, and although | did all could
for him he got no better. One day,
after he had been away for about six
he came to my office and
ne-er in my life have | seen man
look better or seem to feel better than
he did. He. told me Tanlac was what
had brought about the wonderful
change. | began trying the medicine
1t once with the result that a few
2ottles relieved me entirely of stom-
sch trouble, rheumatism and oil my
other ailments. Although am an cx-
re hearty eater nothing ever disagrees /
