TEe Foreign comn,1eree Of Germany


 The foreign trade of Germany, to which the London Conference gave much attention in it's discussions And plans, apparently amounted. says a statement by The National City Bank of New York, to nearly or perha ps quite s2. 000. 100000 in the calendar year 1920, as against about $, 600 COG, . 900 in the year prior to the war. though the ratio of total values" of 1920 compared with those of 1913 does not of course indicate corresponding ratio in quantity, since prices of 1920 were much higher than those of 1915
 This estimate, of approximately t2,- 000 .000, DOG as the total foreign trade of Germany with so,ee0, 600 population in 1920, as against s5,0o0 ,00e, ,0Oo with 67,000,0OO population prior to the war, is necessarily based upon the trade figures of the countries buying from or selling to her, since her own trade figures at the present time are not of depreciated and constantly nuctu- ating currency.
 The race between the United States. Great Britain and France to regain trade with Germany has been, adds the Banks statement, close one. Oficial records of the three countries in ques- ton show that the trade of the United states with Germany in lSz8 was $3SV, ' 0a0.9e0, that of Great Britain 2 Es2,255,- 900, and that of France approximately 3, ,5e9, 1000, 600 francs.

IF KIDNEYS AND
 BLADDER BOTHER
Take Salts to flush Kidneys and neutralize irritat-
 ing acids

Kidney and Bladder weakness result from uric acid, says a noted author ity. The kidneys filter this acid from the blood and pass it on to the blad der, where it often remains to irritate and fnf1arne, causing a burning, scala ing sensation, or setting up an irrita- ton at the neck of the bladder, oblig- ing you to seek relief two or three times during the night. The sufferer is in constant dread, the water passes sometimes with a scaiding sensation and is very profuse; again, there is difficulty in avoiding it.
 Bladder weakness, most folks call 1t, because they can't control trina ton. While it is extremely annoying and sometimes very painful, this Is really one of the most simple ailments to overcome. Get about four ounces of lad Salts from your pharmacist and take tablespoonful in glass of water before breakfast, continue this for two or three days This will neu- tralize the acids in the urine so it no longer is a source of irritation to the bladder and urinary organs which then act normally again.
 lad Salts is inexpensive, harmless, and Is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia and is used by thousands of folks who are subject to urinary disorders caus- ed by uric acid irritation. lad Salts is splendid for kidneys and causes no bad effects whatever.
 Here you have g. pleasant, effer- vescent lithia-water drink, which quickly relieves bladder trouble Adv.
