Spain's Brief Reaction.

Spain's military revolt appears to
have. been quickly successful without
any bloodshed. 1t was one of the
speediest bits. of work ever accom-
plished I'M the way of a revolution. 1t
was not anti-monarchical, but anti
ministerial. Its purpose was to effect
the custer Of the cabinet, and it sue
ceeded.
This reaction in King Alfonso's 5
domain Is not in the least inspired by
hostility to him. On the contrary, he
has been assured by the army leaders
who promoted the revolt of their en-
tire fealty. They are, indeed, seeking
to aid him in overcoming certain con-
ditions harmful to the best interests
of Spain.
This issue turns Immediately upon
the attitude of the now retiring min
istry toward tne military campaign in
Morocco. The army chiefs desired a
Vigorous campaign there. but the gov
ernment held them in check. There
is no assurance that the country at
laISe supports Inc ARMY - thoiouSh
enforcement of Spanish authority
south of the. Straits of Gibraltar would
be costly and the country is not
friendly toward any expensive mill
tary enterprise which would add to the
burden of taxation, already heavy. So
that 1t is not assured that the success
of the revolt that originated at BARGE
Iona and that has caused the custer of
the ministry will be followed by a
sharp prosecution of the war in Africa.
But at any rate the immediate cause
of friction is removed. and unless some
new element develops Spain. is likely
to substds into placidity after a brief
flash Of arms.

The, gist of the problem can be
summed up by q question; Can the
4Se,ooo,6oe, of people in Europe hoic
together long enough to climb the
hill back to health and prosperity?
II is harder--so much harder---for
the average man to live in Europe
today. than it was last year, and it
was harder last year than the year
before. The standard of living is
sinking. The average man--hard-
working and industrious--fnds the
industrial machine less productive, so
that his. existence is threatened. The
problem of merely living has become
an intensively personal one for every
man in Europe, But, as in America,
he realizes something has happened.
but what it is or why 1t is he doesn't
just know.
A trip through sixteen countries of
Europe tsuch as l took this summer)
Will convince even the most super
ficial observer that something is radi-
cally wrong. Production is slowing
down. Exchange is demoraiized.
Government expenses far exceed re-
ceipts from taxation In three-fourths
of Europe. Money has gone wrong.

easily understood and comprehended.
This scientific yardstick is nearer to
the realm of daily existence than the
average man realizes. Ten years ago

people in America know how to drive.

explain after week spent in New

The same may be saideof finance and
economics. These names sound hard
and confusing, but only, because we
have given too little time to them.
1t is possible that every reader will
be able to tell the why and the
wherefore of the European problem
and be able In the future to apply
the scientific method in reaching con-
clusions regarding American finance
and world recoRstruction..
In beginning this series of articles.

stick which we expect to use. in
measuring Europe. the reader should
have in mind a, few basic facts about
Europe never before pyramided.

Thousands of housewives have found that they can save two-thirds of the money usually spent for cough preparations, by using this we'll known old recipe for making cough syrup. 1t is simple and cheap but it has no equal for prompt results. It takes right hold of cough and gives immediate relief, usually stopping an ordinary cough in 24 hours or less.
 Get 25a ounces of Pinex from any druggist, pour it into a pint bottle, and add plain granulated sugar syrup to make full pint. If you prefer, use clarified molasses, honey, or corn syrup, instead of sugar syrup. Either way, it tastes good, keeps perfectly, and lasts a family long time.
 It's truly astonishing how quickly it acts, penetrating through every air passage of the throat and lungs loosens and raises the phlegm, soothes and heals the membranes, and gradually but surely the annoying throat tickle and dreaded cough dis appear entirely. Nothing better for bronchitis, spasmodic croup, hoarse- ness or bronchial asthma.
 Pinex is a special and highly con- eentrated compound of genuine Nor way pine extract known the world over for it's healing effect on membranes.
 Avoid disappointment by asking your druggist for "2h ounces of Pinex" with full directions and don't accept anything else. Guaranteed to give absolute satisfaction or money promptly refunded The Pinex CO. Ft. Wayne, Ind.

Don't worry and fret about how bad your complexion is. It is pos sible now to make that rough, blotchy and unpleasant skin smooth and soft if you will just use little common sense and do like so many thousands of women are doing all over the country.
 Blackheads, pimples and other face ruiners are nothing more than vou can expect when you neglect the care of your face every day. You sem to take it as matter Of course that your complexion ought to always be just right, without any thought of the care it must have, to keep away the many outsidS lnflu- ences which hurt the delicate tissue of the complexion.
 But rsing just something is where so many girls and women make thelr mistake. Treatments which promise overnight" beauty are often worse than if you don't use anything at all, because they must be harsh to work SO quick and when they are, the skin suffers.
 Millions of packages of Black ana White Cleansing and Peroxide Cream, as well as Face Powder, are sold every year to girls and women who have found these to be real toilet ne- cessities. The Cleansing Cream Keeps their skin clean by removing every particle of the dust, grease ana thines that hurt the complexion.
