vnndcrlip's "Grana Gesture"

e RANK y. VANDERBILT, banker and
economist, has returned from Europe
after an exhaustive study of the chaotic
financial system abroad. and as result Of
his observations he has evolved scheme by
wh!ch, he believes. Europe may pay its debt
TO America and yet by so doing be ere
generated" rather than further impoyer-
ishcd. TO that end he would have America
make Il grand gesture in International re-
latons."
In brief, the gesture lie would have this
country make is: to obtain frank acknowl-
cdgment by every foreign nation of the debt
owed TO America; the arrangement OF easy
terms By which this debt could be loui-
Gated; the devotng OF the payments thus
made to the rehabilitation of European
hhahce. economies, public works and cul-
'ufe. I'D other words, the gesture" he pro-
poses means FOR this country to agree for
these foreign debtors to discharge their in

ENJOY YOUR MEALS
AND EATWHAT YOU LIKE

How often you meet people who
are continually worrying about what
they can eat, and what they cannot
eat. Thousands suffer so much from
stomach troubles that they have to
abstain from eating almost every
thing they like. To all who are thus
afflicted, we would urgently recom-
mond them to try natures remedy,
SEVEN BARKS. 1t will promptly
set the stomach to rights, promote
healthy action OF the organs of di-
gestion, and enable you to eat your
faVorite dish without unpleasant
after effects.
Indigestion, trouble with the kid
neys or liver, makes you very de-
spondent and feel that life is not
worth living, and you often feel that
you would be willing to SO without
riches If you could only be well
again. The small sum OF 90 cents in
vested in a bottle of SEVEN
BARKS and take from 10 20 20
drops in a little water after meals,
should put you on the road 10 re-
covery and good health.
SEVEN BARKS is not n cure-all,
but it has been a very reliable
stomach. liver and kidney remedy
for nearly fifty years; it is made
from the extracts of different kinds
Of roots and herbs, scientifically
blended.
Leading druggists sell SEVEN
BARkS, don't fail to give il a trial.
