THE FOREIGN EXCHANGE
MEN ACE,

The condition of the foreign
money market is becoming menac-
ing to our export trade, and there
is a possibility of a general collapse
in Europe Of ability to buy from us,
unless remedy is found.
The whole trouble is that the
worlds paper currency has in
creased six hundred per cent since
the beginning of the war, while the
gold reserve behind it'has increased
only forty per cent.
The debts of the various great
nations have grown erom FIFTY
billion dollars in 1914 to two hun.
dred and sixty billions in 1919
These represent bond issues upor
which interest must be paid. This
is a standardization of the debt
conditions Of the thirty principa
nations OF the world, but does no
include the money issued by the
soviet government of Russia.
Because of the disparity between
the paper currency and the golt
reserve back of them, the exchang,
rate has shrunk twenty-six pei
cent in British money, seventy pei
cent in Italian and nearly to the
vanishing point in Germany and
Austria.
This means an increase of TWEEN.
ty-six per cent the British have tC
pay for our goods, seventy per cent
that Italy must pay and about
twenty three hundred per cent that
must be paid by Germany, while
If Austria buys anything here she
must pay almost seven thousand
per cent,
With Germany and Austria, pur-
chase of goods here, except upon
payment of gold or in other goods,
Is absolutely prohibtive, and il is
nearly so with Italy.
AS the Glasgow tScotland) Her
aid says. There is a world of diff
ference between credit created
against goods, WHICH is liquidated
within a very short time, and
which is limited by the state of the
exchange, and credit created for an
indefinite amount. regardless Of the

PAY INCOME TAX EARLY.

Paying the income tax is almost
as unpleasant to some persons as
undergoing . surgical operation.
one is accustomed to accept the
benefits of the federal government
without much thought concerning
the expense of maintaining it. Such
taxes as those on drugs and toilet
articles, Injuries, beverages, rail-
road and amusement tickets are
paid without much grumbllng, be-
cause one almost unconsciously
reckons the tax as part of the cost
of the article or service. But for
the wage-earner to give up to the
government a weeks pay or more
without receiving something tangl-
BILE in direct return may seem to
him a sacrifice which he would like
to evade. He may fail to recall
the protection given by the army,
the navy and the courts, and the
infinite number of other services
rendered him by branches of the
federal government, for which he
and other citizens must pay,
For peace Of mind, as wen as to-
discharge an obligation to the. ma
ton, the tax should be paid
promptly, The sooner an unpleas-
ant duty is performed, the sooner
its unpleasantness is forgotten. The
internal revenue collector an
nounces that income return forms
for 1919 are at hand and the tax
is due. Pay it early and have it
done with.

changes for an indefinite period
against nothing more substantial
than government securities, l. e,
promises to pay ,-..-. ...-.
One Of these forms may be de-
scribed as credit expansion while
the other is the worst form of
credit initiation.
We have always had people in
this country who believed that the
way to have plenty of money was
to set the printing presses to. work
issuing paper currency. But such
currency has never been of much
value except when there was a
promise to pay in hard money
backing it. villa tried to make his
currency good by shooting those
who refused to receive it in ex-
change for their goods or their
labor. During the French reVolu-
ton the guillotine was used freely
upon those who refused to accept
the assignets. But the French money
became rag money" just as the
Villa money became worth less
than the paper upon which II was
printed. The French revolutionary
notes were eventually cancelled by
the issuance of new notes in pro-
portion of one to twenty-siX hun
bred of the old notes.
Some such measure will have to
occur in Russia and Austria, and
possibly in Germany, although the
industry of the German people and,
their resourcefulness may eventu-
ally bring their money back to Its
pre-war value.

ADMIRAL SIMS CHARGES.

There is no man in the United
States whose word should count
more on naval matters than Rear
Admiral Sims, whose sensational
charges against the navy depart
ment have created n bitter contro-
versy. Admiral sims has done
more than any other man to put
the navy in first-class fighting trim,
TO make it technically efficient.
He began his great work at a time
when the American navy was not
much more than a joke.
Admiral Sims was Il thoroughly
scientific observer with the initia-
tive and skill to build a great navy.
A more prudent man, more fearful
of martinez discipline. but less pa
trlotic, would have Kept his mouth
shut. Sims was not to be muZ-
zled. He told the truth. lie at
tracted, the attention of the nation
and the support of President
Roosevelt, and as a result the navy
was reorganiZed.
His grand work in improving
target practice marks him as one
of the great commanders Of naval
history.
Sims was called to Europe at a
time when the allied cause was in
terrible peril. England was almost
starved out by the submarines.
Sims and his little force Of splendid
efficiency was the power that turn
ed the scale.
The Journal does not believe the
public will condemn the depart
ment without giving its represen-
tatives every chance to be heard
But when Admiral Sims charges
that the navy department did not
properly back him up, and that a
high official said, just as he was
leaving for Europe, 1--WE would as
soon fight Great Britain as Ger
many" there is something to be
Investigated.

PrecauHon is always wise, 1t is
better to be careful than to be

them go until you break down.
without good red blood, no man or
woman can have a strong heart or

when you are run down, when
vigor is lacking and you feel bad
all over, the trouble is usually thin
blood. with too little iron in it.
Iron is the symbol of strength
both in the blood as well as in

ever is strong. Sufficient iron in
the blood is as necessary to-
strength and vigorous health as

LOVE-I.tND.

In Love-Land let us linger, love,
Nor ever seek to stray.
Here every thought with peace is
fraught,
And every song is gay.
Sweet love supplies what love en-
treats;
We win not sigh for other sweets;
We will not so away.
In Love-Land let us lnger, love,
Nor other lands essay.
Outside the earth is drear with
dearth,
And every sky is gray;
And ever wintry winds bemoan
The death of joy from zone 10 zone;
We will not go away.
In Love-Land let us lnger, love,
To live and love for aye.
Here every path its primrose hath,
And every month is May,
And happy fancies hither fly
From every halcyon happy sky;
We will not so away.

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets are the
result of DR.. Edwards determination
not to treat liver and bowel complaints
with calomel. For II years he used
these tablets "a vegetable compound

practice with great success.
They do all the good that calomel
does but have no bad after effects. No
pains, no gripping, no injury to the
gums or danger from acid foods-yet
they stimulate the liver and bowels.

BE VACCINATED.

There is some Spanish influenza
in New MeXieo-probably a few
cases in Albuquerque in mild form.
The state department Of health has
just issued a circular Regarding the
epidemic with certain reCommen-
dations as to how best to avoid it
and prevent the spread of it. 1t
says. regarding vaccination:
while vaccination against in
fluenza does not appear to be of
much value in preventing the dis
ease, vet preliminary vaccination
against pneumonia does seem TO
reduce that complication to q con
siderable extent. However, those
suffering with tuberculosis should
not take the vaccine without full
consent Of their attending physi-
clan"
During the epidemic in New
Mexico in the fall of 1918 and the
winter and spring following. the
Journal urged vaccination. \ sum-
mary of the vaccinations, as far
as one could be made in this city,
seemed TO bear out the conclusions
of DR. Evans of Chicago that the
likelihood of taking flu was con-
siderable reduced and that only
about one-tenth OF the number Of
cases of pneumonia developed.
Also that the yirulence Of flu itself
was lessened.
All doctors appear to he agreed
that no i'll effects come from vac
cination, except when administered
TO tuberculars it may be harmful,
Health authorities in Chicago re-
Gently advised against use of any of
the serums so much used in that
city during the 1888 outbreak.
No big city suffered so little from
flu during that trying period. In
Philadelphia, the physicians fol-
lowed the United States Public
Health services advice and refused
TO yaecinate, with the result that
City of Brother Love was scourged
as was no other American city in
point of severity.
OF course, all of this may have
been merely coincidence. But in
Chicago, with the doctors advising
against vaccination, during this
outbreak there has been j rapid
spread of the epidemic and a con-
stantly mounting death rate. That
may be a coincidence also.
That vaccination does not en-
tirely immunize from influenza, we
readily admit. But that it does re-
duce the death rate, there appears
to be no reason for doubt.
The best thing the people of Al
buquerque can do is TO be vacci-
mated against flu and pneumonia.
If it is done now the epidemic will
not be severe in this city. If it is
not done, no one can tell what the
result will be when the colder
weather comes in February and
March. II is becoming daily more
fatal in both Chicago and New
Work.
An ounce of prevention is worth
a pound Of cure.

And each capital letter therein

When the Lord-or man-made

ton of alphabetical symbols which
the Old he-devil himself slipped in.
The combination spells the word
crouch.
1t must have been the devil who
supplied that combination, for it's
a very Hades of a word, and it de-
scribes a Hades of an individual.
It's the unkindest word in the die
tionary. We should have mercy
on the crouch and root out that
word, substituting therefor the
gentler description, missing link"

For. indeed the crouch is the
missing link. He is a cross be-
tween monkey and man. His pecu-
liar antics--those which distin-
euish him as crouch instead of a
normal human person ~ smack
strongly of monkeyism. He makes
q monkey of himself by his crouch
mess.
You know the type, of course
He's visible and audible in every
town. He has q notion that the
worlds agin him, and consequent
va he's agin the world. He's a
fighter. he is-with his mouth.
And as a matter of self-defense he
has bequilled himself, like the fret
full poroupine, so that you simply
can't touch him on any side, angle
