for men who have it to do good with
their money is when they can per-

has ever found way of taking his
money with him to wherever he goes

trade figures, country by country, sug-
in larger degrea in manufactures
than in the natural products, which
had begun to show declines in prices
in the closing months Of 1920. In the
case of the United States, the exports
of finished manufactures show a fall
of practically 30 per cent in value in
1927 when compared with 1920, while
manufacturing material shows a re-
ductiOn Of AZ per cent, and foodstuffs
33 per cent. In the United Kingdom
statements the exports Of manu-
features in 1921 show a fall of As per
cent, while those of the group food
and drink" show a fall of but 81 per
cent. In hearty all the countries Of the
world whose chief exports are manu-
features, the per cent Of reduction in
1921 is far greater than that of the
countries whose chief exports are agri-.
cultural products. I'm the 10 principal
countries in which manufactures form

off in their aggregate exports in 1921
is 3S per cent AMI in the 10 countries
whose chief exports are agricultural
products, the 1921 reduction is but 20
per cent when compared with 1920.
The whole world was compelled to buy
food and manufacturing materials in
1921, while those who desired to econo-
mize in their purchases Of manufac-
lures were better able to do so than
in the matter of food or even manufac-
turing material, and hence it happens
that the percentage of reduction in
international trade in 1927 is material
~ greater than that Of food or manu-
featuring material.

While comparisons of world trade

rendered difficult by reason of the

that the currencies of the % countries

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never

Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record Of success.
An examining physician for one Of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as,
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tons are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease
