KeepLOOkingYO Young

Nobody wants to grow old looking
any faster than they can help; some
look old at forty while others don't
begin to show their age at seventy.
Everybody knows that to keep young
looking you have first got to be blessed
with good health, and second to do as
little worrying as possible. Most OF
the ills that the flesh is heir to are
caused by disordered stomach, liver
or kidneys. These can be regulated
and kept in good condition by taking
SEVEN BARKS, natures great REM
edy Of roots and herbs.
Digestive troubles also spoil beauty,
rob you of sleep, make dark rings
around the eyes and ruins the COM
plexion. Let SEVEN BARKS digest
your food and tone up your stomach,
then you may eat what you like;
bright eyes will soon return, and you
viii feel fit for your daily duties.
Science says that old age begins with
weakened kidneys and digestive organs,
If you keep these organs cleansed and
in proper working order, old age can
be deferred and life prolonged beyond
the average age. No better remedy
can be found than SEVEN BARKS TO
keep the stomach, liver and kidneys in
good order, thus assuring you good
health.

CARRIERS OF DREAD DISEASE
How Science Has Shown Children to
Be the Bearers Of Deadly Diph-
iberia Germs.

There is probably no more difficult
or more unsatisfactory problem In
contagious diseases than that OF the
diphtheria carrier Though the death
rate for diphtheria has been greatly re-
duccd since the discovery of antit0xin.
The morbidity rate has remained vir
tually the same, says the Journal Of
the American Medical Association.
GelIen, Moss and Guthrie found thot
approximately is per cent Of S00
healthy children in Baltimore were
carriers of diphtheria bacilli at one
time or another, and about II per cent
OF these were carriers of viruent or.
gansmS. They also found a higher
percentage Of positive cultures In chill
dren with pathologic throats than in
hose with normal throats. OF 80
children who yielded positive cultures
at the first examination, 10 had posi-
tive cultures two weeks later. After
four, six, eight, ten aud twelve weeks,
the number of positive cultures was
fifteen, eleven, twelve and six, respec-
lively.

is apparently shut off as a market
for American cotton for the time
being, according to Commercial At.
tache Charles II. Cunningham at
Madrid, who informed the depart
ment of commerce Thursday that
Spain was overstocked with cotton
and cotton textiles, Under normal
circumstances, declared, Spain
would at this season Of the year be
able to consume about 100000 more
bales of American cotton but there
is now a surplus which will probably
last about six months.
In discussing the purchase Of cot.
Ion in Spain Mr. Cunningham said
that New York has taken the place
of Liverpool as a buying center due
to the establishment Of American
banks. in Spain. Efforts are being
made by the British to regain their
lost trade, he asserted, but Spanish
importers see the advantage Of buy
ing their cotton with dollars and
making one conversion of exchange
instead of two To meet this stu
alton, Mr.. Cunningham said. British
banks are givin gdircct quotations IN
dollars and frequently at better
rate than American institutions.

The movement to have the two
