SWISS FACING CRISIS.
Tourists Avoiding Country Be
cause of Money Situation.

GENEVA. Switzerland. July c.
Switzerland has reached the acute
stage of economic stringency result
ing from d tOo-favorable rate of
exchange. The tourist season, upon
which she depends to such a great
extent, opened with little prospect
of an improvement of the situation.
Tourists who usually visit Swift
Zerland during the summer, are
going to French and Italion resorts.
The Swiss themselves, to a con-
siderable extent, are abandoning,
their own country to spend their
outings in France, where Swiss money
counts for twice it's value at home.
or in Italy. where it's counts five times
the normal value.
The crisis shows not only in the
absence of tourist trade but in indus
trial stagnation, a good many work
ers being already out of employ
ment.
A few week ago it looked as If the
delegations to the second assembly
of the league of nations, September
5, would find difficulty in getting
lodgings here. hotel keepers hesl-
tating to reserve apartments Tor
them because it would require them
to refuse tourists at the height OF
the season. ,,
1t now appears that the hotels Will
welcome the league delegations un-
less there is an unexpectedly radicai
change in the travel situation.

CUTS OFF OIL IN FIRE.

the Amatlan oil fields yesterday ap-
preached to within q few yards of
a blazing well. known as No. .. and
after spending fifteen minutes in the
terrific heat, with flaming oil falling
all around him, succeeded by frantic
efforts in nearly closing valve
which controls the oil supply.
The intense heat is said to have
damaged the piping system to such
an extent that it was impossible to
close the valve completely, but when
the pipes have become cooler. it is
believed the supply can be cut off
entirely by a similar procedure, and
that the fire, which has been burn
ing for more than a week, with a
loss estimated at several million dol
lars, will be extinguished.

have been neglected.
Persons OF hereditary tubercular
tendency should guard against colds
and should take proper measures to
stop their progress with the first

that instead. Of being . trivial affec-
ton the common "cold" must be
classed A. a serious menace to public
health.
Kurokol, the new scientific cold
remedy, which has been accomplish
ing such remarkable results, proba-
bly, provides the safest surest and
quickest, as well az the most practi-
cal, treatment for colds yet discov-
cred.
This new remedy, according to the
statements of the thousands who
have used it, Is almost magical In its
effect The frst dose usually stops
the tendency to sneezing and cough
ing and relieves the feeling of dis
comfort, and the second ana rnlrd
doses usually suffice to stop the prog
ress of a cold altogether. Only one
bottle is generally sufficient to break
up the most obstinate cold, no mat
ter of how long standing.
The great superiority Of Kurokol
over the ordinary treatment hereto
fore prescribed Is due to the fact that
it is q combination tratment and
acts as an antipyretic. expectorant,
laxative and antiseptic, thereby re-
moving the cause, while many other
remedies relieve the symptoms only
momentarily.
