The South American Trade.

A story comes from Buenos Aires
that British interests in that quarter
of the world are making tall claims
about British commercial activities in
South America at the expense of Amer
lean interests. The president of the
British board of trade in. London is
quoted as saving:
81 believe that the United States is
gradually losing the markets gained
when Germany was wiped of the seas
and while Britain was fighting in the
war. Britain is not only regaining
but is enlarging her markets in South
America and the orient. We are re-
placing Germany in Latin America and
s,ipplanting the United States in war
markets"
II will be observed that only be-
lief is expressed. No authority is given
to support it. Probably this official
had not stirred away from home. He
had in mind heartenine British ex-
porters, and squirting them on to their
best endeavors.
Against this is put the opinion of
Dr. Julius Klein, the United States
commercial attache at Buenos Aires
who says in an interview respecting
the situation in Argentina:
speaking in the light of the latest
statistics that We have in hand-statis.
ties which showed that we were selling
10 Argentina approximately one third
pf all the goods she buys abroad-and
from personal observation since then
there has been no indication of losses to
American trade. I have no doubt tha,
we are going to meet with good strong
competition from the British, but thu
inclination Of the American exporter
seems to be to say, Come on; we'r,
ready for it,"
We are going to meet with just tn,
Sort of competition this American off

Money and Politics.

Charges are current of the lavish
use of money in the presidential
primary campaigns. Amounts are not
given. 1t is asserted, however, that
they are large.
Gov. Lowden has taken notice of the
charges, and offers for publication a
certified report of his expenditures.
Gen. Wood and his leading advisers as
sert that the charges are untrue as
respects the Wood campaign. So that
until the details upon which the
charges rest are forthcoming the pub
lie is likely to withhold Judgment.
Too much money is, and has long
been. used in politics. But it is to be
doubted if rumors on the subject have
ever been accurate. Rather is it like
]y that they have always been exag-
gerated. Poor losers are apt to put
the figures high.
Campaigning these times is expen-
sive, and especially in cases where the
whole country, or even the greater
part of it. is being covered. Many
new features are now in use, and some
of them require liberal outlays. A
candidacy for a presidential nomina-
ton, or for the Office itself, must be
promoted by all the latest legitimate
methods. Unless it is, ii is apt to fall
by the wayside.
An unusually close watch on cam,
paign collections and expenditures
should be kept this year. Money is
abundant, and much of it in the
pockets of men who take an interest in
politics and are generous spenders in
that field. 1t is not necessary to So
lieit subscriptions from them. They
walk up to the captains Office and sub
scribe without an urge.
But the most generous spender of
all is now outlawed, and extremely
anxious to have the ban lifted. This
spender is the Drink Traffic. He has
no politics, and no policy but the one
that relates to his personal interests.
He will support that party or that can
didate promising him the best returns.
He wants to resume business-his
enormously lucrative business-at the
old stands, which are scattered over the
country and can promptly be re-
opened.
Money from this source ought to be
declined by both parties, and by can
didates for Office, executive or legisla-
tive. An intolerable situation would
be created, indeed, if President or q
Congress were to be elected through
an agency which would be prompt with
demands, and whose demands would
embrace the repeal or the notification
in some fashion of the eighteenth
amendment to the Constitution. Booze
is dead! Long may it stay dead!

More distinctive vernal form,
When the presidential booming
Is becoming rather warm,
Then. we feel a strange beguiling
As the flow'rs 60 on display,
With the 1st of April smiling
In a very jestful way.
AS our moods begin to soften
While we wait for April cheer,
We reflect that things are often
Not at all what they appear.

DR.. Pierce, of the Invalids' Hotel and
Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, n. Y,
years ago understood diseases, and their
prevention. After long period of ex-
pertinent he discovered certain roots and
herbs which were natures remedies, and
succeeded in putting them up in form
that could be easily procured at the drug
store. This he called DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. Along with its use he
advises every one to take exercise In the
outdoor air, to get all one can of Gods
sunlight and air; also mild breathing
exercise to be practiced each day. This
Medical Discovery" gives no false slim
ulation because it contains no alcohol or
any narcotic. 1t helps digestion and
the assimilation Of such elements in the
food as are required for the blood. Instead
of cod liver oil, against which the al
ready sensitive stomach will declare open
rebellion, this tonic has pacifying action
upon the sensitive stomach and gives to
the blood the food elements the tissues
require. 1t maintains the patients nt-
triton by enabling him to eat, retain,
digest and assimilatc nutritious food. 1t,
overcomes gastric irritability and symp-
toms of indigestion, and in this way fever,
night-sweats, headaches, ETC., are done
away with. 1t fortifes the body against
the germs Of grippe (''hu'') and malaria,
and it builds up the tissues and puts on
healthy flesh. For over fifty years it has
enjoyed the confidence of the American
public. To be had in tablet and LIQUID
form at all druggists

NNE of the greatest American mil
lionaires said the other day to his
physician, "a million dollars, Doc
ter, spot cash and no grumbling, for a
new stomach" and then the sick man
groaned and turned away. All his wealth
could not make him happy OF, contented,
for happiness largely depends upon di-
gestion. Without health where does
happiness come in, and of what use is
many millions of dollars or even. one
million? One of mans greatest pleas
, ures is that born of a keen appetite,
vigorous digestion and a good dinner,
and this belongs to many good fellow
who is living on small wages but is able
to buy beefsteak now and then and
have the healthy digestion to assimilate
it, but the rich man without stomach
has to forego the juicy steak and the
good things of the table because his
stomach rebels. After all the stomach
plays great part in everyday life. With
out a healthy stomach and a good di-
gestion our blood is thin, watery and
poor, our heart action is weak, our liver
does not do its duty, and man is misera-
BILE and unhappy. In this condition one
is prey to the germs of influenza, pneu-
monia, malaria and all the ills that one

SISTER NLARY'S KITCHEN
acopyright, 1920. BY the n. E. A.

When cleaning woodwork there Is
danger OF soiiinE the wallpaper with
the cleaning cloth. This Is especially
true when washing the mop-board.
A good way to avoid the somewhat
unsightiy streak on the paper at the
TOD OF the board is TO use stiff piece
Of cardboard. Hold the cardboard nat
against the wall and tight against the
pop-board. The wall will be protect
ed and the cardboard will receive tho
streak. It Is really much easier to use
the precaution than not. The bit OF
strain to prevent the damp cloth from
touching the wall is removed and one
works with greater freedom and ease.

catarrh Is constitutional disease and

Sprays, inhalers and nose douches
are liable to irritate the delicate air
passages and force the disease into the
middle ear, which frequently means to-
tai deafness, or else the disease may
be driven down the air passages to-
wards the lungs, which Is equally as
dangerous. The following formula,
which Is used extensively IN the damp
English climate, is constitutional
treatment and should prove especially
efucacious to sufferers here who live
under more favorable climate condi-
tions.
