PRICE DROP HELPED HUN
German Marks Took Hilzcd Value
With Decline i'm America

Berlin, May 27. Owing to the
spectacular rise in the value of the
mark, Germany soon may be able to
purchase raw materials on the mar
kets of the world, with which to re-
sumo her crippled manufacturing in
dustries.
Germany's import trade recently
reached a point almost of stagnation.
The turn for the better has come, in
the belief of both manufacturers and
fiRanciers here.
The sensational rise in the value of
the German mark was coincident to
the fail in prices thruout the world.

Physicians claim there is nothing

commonly known by druggists as
argo-phosphate; it is Inexpensive and
is sold by all leading druggists every

starved nervous conditions.
Our bodies need more phosphates
than are contained in the foods we

If you wish a more rounded figure

should simply take plain argo-phos-

The increase in weight also aids in

Govt OPERATION
OUT OF POLITICS
Party Leaders Convinced by
Results of National Can.
vaSs of Editors.
VINDIcATEs FORMER POLL.
Overwhelming Veto Like That Of Year
Before From Both Sides OF
Political Fence.

Observation-Disclosures circles Of both
political parties here are greatly in
terested In the results Of national
poll. on the question Of government
operation among over 5000 newspa-
per editors throughout the country.
With 96 per cent Of these editors, re-
gardless of political faith, giving it as
their impartial opinion that the public
is more than ever opposed to the gov
ernment going into business in COM
petition with its citizens, observers
here see little chance that either po-
litical party will find it profitable
campaign issue.
In the opinion of party leaders this
sort Of canvass among newspaper
editors is the best possible index OF
public opinion. They recall a similar
QUESTIONABLE sent out year ago In
connection with the proposition that
the government take over the rail-
roads permanently. Replies at that
time from approximately the same
number of editors showed s3 per cent
against the principle Of government
operation. They recall also that with
in ten days from publication of the
result of the former QUESTIONABLE the
sentiment for return af the railroads
to their owners had definitely crys-
tallized.
Comparison of present results in de-
tall with those Of year ago con-
vinces the political student not only
that these editors have been accurate
in their judgment, but that party con-
siderations played no part in form
ing it. From Democratic and sup
posedly radical Texas, for example,
the present QUESTIONABLE brought re-
plies from editors Of PA papers. only
three of which are Republican. Yet
the percentage against government
oieration was 80, which is exactly the
same as that given by 200 editors
from Republican Michigan, among
whom were representatives Of only
three Democratic papers. Other
states that pair percentages signifi-
cantly are Massachusetts and Nevada,
with 100; Connecticut and South Caro-
lima, with 81; Maine and West Viz
ginia, with &c; Kentucky and New
York, with 81; Missouri and Pennsyl-
vania, with 50; Ohio and Oklahoma,
with 81. .!o'

government operation in each state

Judge not, lest ye too be judged
You will find the promise true,
As you measure to your neighbor
He will measure back to you.
If neighbor's life is rugged,
And his path seems all up hill,
Do you try to help him upward?
Thinking he's your brother still.
If a sister strayed from virtue,
And goes on her way, alone;
He that's without sin among you,
Let him cast at her stone.
Why not say to her then kindly,
As you see her pass your door:
Neither do I quite condemn thee,
Go, daughter, sin no more.
You should keep it in remembrance,
You have faults, as we'll as they,
Having ever for a motto
For the erring, watch and pray.
There is one who'll judge you justly,
Knowing each and every heart,
Listening to no tales of SANDER,
He will Judge thee, as thou art.
