There is one dollars worth of silver
 in q new silver dollar when silver sells at SIPS an ounce, consequently when
 the Silver sold at $l s7,s in New York and 3l.ss in San Francisco. there Was profit of 10 cents on every dollar thai
 was shipped as bullion to China, enough
 to justify shipments on an extensive scale.
 In New York a scarcity of half dol
 lars and 25 cent pieces is reported,
 possibly due to hoardtng. There also Is a growing scarcity of silver dollars
 in the Western States
 Both in France and Great Britain
 the melting point. of silver coins was 66 pence an ounce, and throughout
 France the almost total absence of
 silver coins is seriously retarding re
 tai! trade. In London no scarcity ,s
 yet apparent. but the government, in
 order to lessen the circulation of sil- yer coins. is issuing five shilling notes
 and is also contemplating the use of
 nickel in place of silver in new sub
 sidary coinage.
 In an effort to lessen speculate in silver in India, the government is. sued d decree. which took effect De- cember 1. prohibiting trading in flu tulcs' which nearly crvated a crisis in Bombay, where an immense open air silver market is held which at times exceeds in turbulence the wheat pit of the Chicago Board of Trade, The effect of this will probably be
 an increase in speculation in silver in
 Hongkong and Shanghai. China Is now the great distributing silver mal.t of the world to the people of the Or iental nations. millions more of whom now use, hoard and insist upon silver
 than they did before the World War. Total exports of silver from the United States for the twelve months
 ended September 90, 1919, were s1S4.- 000,00O, or about two and one-half
 times the value of this country's prob- able production in 1919

SILVER ONLY METAL AVAILABLE FOR WORLD
 COINAGE OF MONEY

"a result of the depreciation of gold ard
 the appreciation of silver.
 The silver situation will be debated
 in the Senate during the deliberations over a bill which has been introduced by senator Smoot of Utah, which is intended to overcome the existing disadvantages ] in the national mone ey systdrn due to the fact that silver is
 now worth more than gold at the ratio
 of sixteen to one. Silver is no longer party issue.
 It is no longer q fad of the ''Silverites. ,
 It is |: national and an international question and as such must be grapple,l with. No greater revolution has be.r
 brought about by the World War thai,
 the dethronement of gold and the re
 mobilization of silver.
 Monometallism is apparently doom cd, but the day of bimetallism has gone
 and few would dare to suggest it's = luoptipIl,LttsiuS any DlIlleEtlfic arrange
 ment would have to include Asia a. well as the other continents.
 The law of supply and demand may
 carry up the price of silver to .$2 su
 ounce. So long as the demand for silver
 continues to be greatly in excess oI the supply. .sls it is today and must he l for some time to come. the presen. prices for the metal will be main, tained and will probably advance. The remedy. if remedy there be
 apart from legislation, lies in in-
 creased production, and silver mining Icompanies should he stimulated to at
 tain their zenith of silver production by
 the reduction or complete abolition ci
 the present high taxes designated as Excess War Profit Taxes" There is good reason for believing
 that present high taxes on the silver
 mining industry "diseourase energy
 and remove the incentive to new en. iterpriss."

silver has cast off the cloak of humiliation in which it has been en. veloped since the Chime of '73" and is now the only precious metal available for coinage" says writer in the san Francisco Call.
 Gold has been withdrawn from cir culation and may not appear again as coinage in the lifetime of anyone now on earth. It will be hoarded by the nations an used as a basis of inta.la- tional credit. but must be allied with silver. the value of which is now great CT than gold at the ratio of sixteen to one.
 The fact that silver is selling at q price which makes il profitable to melt and sell for bullion the United States silver dollar. and that this is being done and the coins are disappearing. and the probability that silver will continue 10 advance in price has caused the great financial houses or New oFk tt seek means to check tac advance in the price of the metal.
 The National City Bank and th Guaranty Trust Company have sug- gested the breaking of the market by the s,le by the United states Treasury of the balance of the silver metal available under the pittman Act. It appears to be the last desperate at tempt to solve problem of unpar- alleled intricacy. after suggested de- basement of coinage and total with dl9,wal of silver currency he'd been con . sdered and rejected and its restoration to it's old position as stIhda ! money derided.
 To the bankers who onl,' think of gold. silver is still the Cinderella Cf the money metals and it annoys them that it should have obtruded itself on their horizon and diverted their single e track minds to an unwilling but forced consideration of the perpleNins econo- mic problems which confront them as

GOV. RIGGS SECURES PROMISE OF
 MORE ROAD FUNDS

Through the efforts of Governor | Riggs. Alaska may shortly secure :. large increase in the amuont of road funds annually expended in the Terri : tory, according to a Washington dis p.Ftch of March 16 to the Juneau Elm pire.
 According to the dispatch. Governor Riggs while in Washington secured agreements with the Bureau of Public Roads. whereby the government will spend $lSo,OO0 on Alaska roads in con- nection with the Territory, the under standing being that the Territory will spend $41,oOO on the cooperative pro- )eet. This according to the Empire dis patch. is.in addition to an item of s32e. 900 in the Army Appropriation Bill for the use of the Alaska. Board of Road Commissioners and in addition to a proposal to appropriate $750,0O0 for post roads for Alaska in |, bill recently introduced by Senator Chamberlain Of
 
 Oregon.
 The other agreement said to have been made by the Governor Is with the Forestry Bureau, which has prom ised to recommend congressional &C., tion which will give to Alaska all the receipts from the national forests in the Territory for roads and schools. instead of 25 per cent of them, as has been the case in the past.
 The dispatch continues as follows: If the plans for the development of a paper and pulp business in Alaska works out this will amount to a large sum. In the past it has run approxi- mately sso.ooo.
 These agreements and the under- standing that has been arrived at with the Senate Committee on Post Omces and Post Roads to expend large an- nual appropriations in Alaska consti- tute promise for a road building fund in Alaalsa far in excess of anything that ever before has been suggested for tie Territory.
 No matter what may be the ac- tion on the Chamberlain bill and the recommendation of the Forestry Bu- reau to give Alaska all the forestry money, both of which are expected to he favorably acted upon. Alaska Is as- sured of $iso.oOo from the Bureau of Public Roads and almost certain to get the Sss2.ooO from the Army Appropria- tim bill. These items. with the Alas kl Fund, the forestrv funds and tho Territorial funds. will provide ssoo. 900 to s7oo.ooo for the next year.

RETIRED MERCHANT THROWS AWAY HIS CANE SINCE TANlAc QUILT
 HIM UP

NSii, S1r, US IaCt, tnlS Ts,2lac
 has put me in shape 10 where lave
 actually gained fourteen pounds ac.:
 this strikes me as being remarkable. jespecially for one of my age, for an, now seventy two" was the state...ent
 made by F. w. Esmis of GA First avenue. Cedar Rapids. Iowa. in an i:.-
 terview, recently.
 Mir. Bemis. is q retired merchant. He was in the grain bu:ines.s In south
 Dakota for twenty years and num'e' s
 his friends by his acquaintance. ''I had suffered from stomach trouble and disordered kidneys for three years
 or more" he continued, and up to the
 time l got Tanlac l had not been able
 to find anything to help me. My stomach was In such a bad condition that 1 was forced to live on very light diet all the time. My kidneys bothered me constantly and my back
 hurt me like blue blazes.' was in such weakened condition that had
 to use q cane in order to get around at all and, as had tried all the different medicines and had been under treat- ment several times without results | was beginning to think my age was Iasainst me and that worl never feai
 like myself again
 Seeing Tanlac so highly recon. mcnded I finally bought a bottle as Il
 last resort, and could soon see good re- suits. Then 1 bought another bottle,
 then another and so on and just kept gradually improving. until now I feel like I have taken new lease on life.
 I can eat just anything I want with out having the least trouble with my stomach and am feeling perfectly strong and healthy. I have thrown my walking sticx away and am able to
 walk any place l want to go. am strong for Tanlac because it has made
 n new man of me when I had reached
 the point where I thought there was
 no help for me. AS said. have gain
 ed fourteen pounds in weight and owe
 my present good health to nothing but
 the good work of TanIac. I will glad-
 ly confirm this statement to anyone
 who cares to consult me either by let.
 ter of in person. In all the years of
 my life have never run across a med
 icine that I consider in a class with jTanlac.' Hundreds of such statements as tho above are reaching the Tanlac ofIices daily from all parts of the United States and Canada and, of course, arc very gntifying. Tanlac contains won derful reconstructive properties and, as a general tonic for weak, run down systems has no equal.
 When people grow to the ripe old age of Mir. Remis their digestive or- gans lack vitality. act more slowly and less effectualiy than in youth. The circulation becomes poor, the blood thins. the appetite fails aud digestion weakens Tanlac. the powerful recon- s:rlctive tonic, is the Ideal strength. aHee for elderly peopie. because it lcreates good healthy appetite. aids digestion. enrdches the blood, and in n natural way builds up. strengthens and invigorabes feeble. run down nervous and aged people.
