And Backache Stopped After Short
Treatment with "FRUIT.A.TIVES"

Moretown, Vermont, March 9th 1918.
IT am warranted in having the
strongest faith in 'Fruit-a-tives' after
receiving such wonderful benefits
from them. Foryears, I was a sufferer
with Kidney and Liver Complaints.
My back ached my liver was
sluggish ; and my whole system
seemed out of order.
'Fruit-a-tives' was the only remedy
to help me. They strengthened the
kidneys, made my bowels move
regularly and freed me of all the
distress caused from the kidney
trouble, constipation and indigestion.
A few weeks treatment with
'Fruit-a- tives' made me feel as if I
had a new lease on life, and I am glad
to make known the great value of
these Fruit Liver Tablets.

FRANCE LOOKING FOR
AMERICAN STUDENTS
Great Influx Is Expected and Prepare
tons Are Being Made to Care
for the Foreigners.

Paris, Jan. 3.--Next year is likely to
see great influx of American students
to French universities, in the opinion
of H. S. Krans, secretary of the Amer
lean University union in Europe. Mr..
Krans' new Paris headquarters, facing
the Luxembourg gardens, are being. Mt
ted up to receive and advise seekers
after knowledge from overseas
Founded shortly after Americas en-.
trance in the war, by ID OF the leading
American universities and colleges, the
union now has 80 American learned in
stitutions on its membership list, in
Guiding Harvard, Yale, Columbia,
Johns Hopkins, Princeton and other
leading universities and colleges
throughout the United States.
Paris is destined to become the
brain of the world said Mr.. Krans
to correspondent of the Associated
Press. German universities Will be
largely avoided by Americans. Dogged
determination was shown by one young
New York student who arrived here
with the problem how to board and
live on six francs a day. Through the
medium of the union French landlady
gave him a small room for two francs
day. The young man cooks his own
meals, and is passing rich on four
francs a day
French teachers and students are
constant and eager inquiriers at the
unions Paris home. Many of them are
anxious to take a course OF studies IN
the United States. Fourteen French
students are already studying in Amer
lean universities on free scholarships
from fund collected by 5000 Amer
lean students in recognition Of the hos
pitality extended to them by French
during the war.
The society for American Fellow
slips in French universities is planning
to send 20 Americans each year to the
Sorbonne and other French seats Of
learning; nor will the Alsatian uniyer
sity of Strasburg be neglected. Twen-
ty five scholarships for American girls
in France are already filled.

tions of law. Ethics is the subject
Of one Of the lectures. The bureaus
representatives are advised TO be care
full of their personal appearance, to be
at all times and under all circum-
stances, courteous, and mot to forget

BOXING GAINS SUPPORT.
Colleges and Universities Are Taking
Up the Sport.

New York, Jan. 3.--Boxing as an in
tercollegiate sport is rapidly gaining
supporters at number of colleges and
universities in all parts of the coun-
try and championship tournaments I'M
der revised ring rules are not at all UNI
likely within the next few years. In
ter-varsity bouts between picked box
ing teams representing Oxford and Cam
bridge universities have been part Of
the annual English sport scheduled for
many years and similar contests are
not entirely unknown in the United
States.
( is expected that such meetings will
become more frequent as the boom in
boxing gathers strength. The tendency
in this direction is shown by a num-
Der of recent reports of boxing aetivi-
ay among the collegians. Word comes
from Peoria, Ill.,. that the Little Con-
ference" has included boxing in its list
of major sports and that a champion
ship tournament would be held next
spring.
In the east the University of Penn
sylvania has long been an ardent adj
vocate of boxing for the college ath-
lete and has several times suggested
the formation Of an intercollegiate box
ing league At the present time both
Pennsylvania and Penn. State college
have the largest squads of boxers try.
ing for the teams in the history Of the
sport. Both squads are under the in
struction of competent coaches and there
will be dual tournament early in the
spring between the two institutions as
was the case in 1919. Dartmouth and.
other colleges in the east have engaged
boxing coaches and plan intramural
tournaments with the possibility of
broader activity within a year or two.

BUILDING CONTRACTS
WILL AGGREGATE
$1,000, 900, 900
In the Territory East of the Missouri
River and North Of the Ohio River
in 1920, According to Estimate.

New York, Jan. Residential. in
dustrial and other building contracts
aggregating $2,s00,000,0oO will be
awarded east of the Missouri and north
of the Ohio rivers in 1920 as compared
with $500, 100000 in the same terri
tory during 1919, according TO an esti-
mate of the F. w. Dodge company, con
struction statisticians, made public here
day
1T has been found said Franklin r.
Miller, head of the company, who has
been connected with the statistical side
OF the building industry for rs years,
that in normal times certain years
building contract awards amount to
figure approximately two-thirds of the
total work contemplated, or projected,
during the previous year. The total
figure for work contemplated in the
territory named as reported in 1919,
aggregates S4,200,000,000 and the 1920
estimate is based upon it, that is, two
thirds of that amount"
ProIongation OF the building season
into the winter was indicated, Mr.. Mil
Ter said, by the amount OF building
contracts issued in the territory named
during November, which showed to-
tai above the average of the preceding
months. In ordinary years, he said,
the month of maximum building con-
tracts is in June or July but this year
the apex was not reached until October,
with total Of $3l 1882 900.
Construction contracts Were lowest in
January, with less than SOL 100000, it
was said, because of the general belief
that prices and wages would soon fall
and that buildings could be undertaken
at lower cost. Total contract awards
in the territory named. from Jan. ! to
July |, Mr.. Miller said, were $685., 904,-
900 and from July to Dec. 10, the date
of the latest reports, sl,490, SOB, 900,
showing, he said, that go per cent of
the years amount of contracts were
awarded in the second half of the year,
under conditions of extremely high
prices"
Thirty-six per cent of the grand total
for the past year, s2,4s9, 407 600, or

buildings and % per cent,

MINERAL
OUTPUT LOW IN 1919
Amount Was the Smallest Since 1910
Decline Attributed Principally to
Reverting of Copper Indus
try to Normal.

Washington, ID. c.. Jan. Alaska /
mineral output in 1919 was the small
est of any year since 1910, and it's value
was less than half that of 1916, pre-
| liminary estimates of the geological
survey made public to-day show. The
output for the year brought only about
SIS, $4,000, as compared with $2s,254,
600 in 1918 and S4s,600O00 in 1916.
The decline was attributed princi-
paIly to the reyerting of the copper in.
dustry TO normal conditions as a result
of the fall in the price of the metal
since 1915, when the war demand great
~ stimulated production High operat-
ing costs also caused depression in
gold mining.
Eight copper mines were operated in
Alaska in 1919, producing about a.
100000 pounds, VALUED at S5,0S0.000.
The production in 1918 was 69,225 900
pounds, valued at sl7099,000
The value OF the annual output of
gold declined from Sl6,700000 in 1916
to s9,000,000 in 1919.
Alaska still contains large reserves
of gold bearing gravels that can be
mined profitably when transportation
conditions are improved, the report
said. addin gthat "the most important
event of the year for the future in
mining in Alaska was the continuation
Of the work on the government rail
road and the assurance by congression-
al action of the money needed to COM
plete the line"
Better and cheaper steamboat serv-
ice, on both ocean and river, are also
imperative" the report said. More
over, the railroad must be supplement-
ed by trails and wagon roads"
As a byproduet to gold and copper
mining 100000 ounces of silver and 500
tons Of lead were mined during the
year.
The value OF the gold mined in Alas
ka from the discovery of the precious
metal in 1880 to 1919 was placed at
S43T. 400. 900.
