The balance of power that phrase
which summed up the tangled poiiti'
cal history OF the period of modern
Europe which dropped into the pasl
in 1914 has come TO have new de.
finitfon in the epoch now opening. The
balance of power today is not as in
the past, political. 1t is economic
and the measure OF nations pro-
gress in the future will be marked in
the last analysis. by the extent of its
economic resources and it's ability to
mobilize them effectively.
In this economic era, the new ma
tons of Europe--tfosc countries in
eastern and southeastern Europe
which have been for 30 long the po-
litical powns OF their more powerful
neighbors will be able to meet
their rivals in an open field. armed
with the Weapons Of equality. Eco
nomically speaking these countries
are among the richest in Europe and
now that they are freed from the dis
abilities Of political thraldom, they
may well outdistAncc the older west.
tern Europe nations In the struggle
for economic supremacy.
Among these new nations, there Is
none better armed than Poland. Her
mineral resources, among the richest
in Europe. make her potentially a
great economic power. They will play
an important part in the develop.
ment of her future industries and de-
terminc to large extent her econ
omic position.
In the production of lead and xinc
ores. for instance, during the quarter
century ending ut the outbreak OF
the war. the countries now included
In Poland occupied the first place
in Europe, being only surpassed In
the whole world by the Uniter States,
The annual output for these twenty
ave years varied from $50 to Toe
thousand tons, the zinz production
being about four times as great al
that OF load. In the mining OF sino
Poland ran close second to Bel.
giurn, which occupied the premier
rank among European nations. Po-
land then was third among the coun-
tries of the world. furnishing 81 per
cent. OF the entire supply of the
world production. Considering lead
alone, Poland was fourth among Eu-
ropean countries, Spain. Germany and
Belgium outrnnking her.
Poland, like the nations OF Western
Europe has found her supply Of iron
ore somewhat depleted In recent
years. II Is estimated that the King
dom OF Poland. has from 500 to 500
million tons reserve at present, and
the former territory OF upper Silesia
about the same amount The output
OF iron ore had steadily decreased in
the quarter century Immediately pre-
ceding the war. but was supplemented
for Industrial purposes by inporta-

Over fifty years ago young
physician practiced widely in a
rural district and became famous
for his uniform success in the
curing of disease. This was DR..
Pierce, who afterwards estab-
lished himself in Buffalo, N. Y,
and placed one of his prescriptions,
which he called Golden Medical
Discovery" in the drug stores of
the United States so that the pub
lie could easily obtain this very
remarkable tonic, corrective and
blood maker. DIR. Pierce manu-
factured this Discovery" from
roots and barks "a corrective
remedy, the ingredients of which
nature had put in the fields and
forests, for keeping us healthy.
Few folks or families now living
have not at sometime or other used
this Golden Medical Discovery"
for the stomach, liver and heart.
Over twenty four million bottles
of this tonic and blood remedy
have been sold in this country.

Maryland, was received from head
quarters at Macon this morning by
Agent George Anderson, of the Cen

This embargo, caused by freight
congestion, does not mean, it is sta
ed, that peach shipments will not be
received for the northeastern states,
as cars may be routed via Cincinnati
there being no embargo at this time
on consignments in that direction.
Heavy peach shipments, with the rip

"Look, Ann! Maybe he pushed it

Naturally, the conversation was

"a cracker-jack of a murder mys-

been a woman, they say. The gun
was fired by good shot. Just one
bullet. '"The winged messenger OF

And she was, partly owing to her
habit of using rouge literally. Her
color was so heightened by art that
she might have been as white as a

Daddy Lorimer revels in big SEN

MOSQUITOLEAVES
TRAIL OF DISEASE

The whole country is infested with
Mosquitoes. The Government Health
Service and every other agency
known to man is being used to exter-
inmate them. Once they were looked
upon as an annoyance only; scien-
lists now know that they leave in
their wake deadly disease germs, es-
pecially Malaria. Those who are in
position to know, vouch for the fact
that they have been the cause of more
diseases and death than all the wars
from the beginning of time.
Mosquitoes will probably never be
exterminated. We can, however. by
proper screening and spraying Of our
homes daily with TORMENT, rid our
household of them.
TORMENT is gaseous vapor in
which no insect can live. Sold by
