PRopoRTIoN Of u.S Imports CARRIED IN us WSsflS

From 1920 to 1922. American bot
toms represented nearly half Of the
tonnage entering American ports.
That period represents the peak. It
is. however. not high enough, accord
ing to advocates of the upbuilding OF
the merchant marine. They contend
that the United States should itself
carry sixty percent of its trade.
From 1922 to the present American
trade carried in native bottoms repre-

will continue for long is not clear. II
is certain, however, that the proper
ton of American trade carried In ma

low proportion of the pre-war period

The report shows that in most

ever-increasing burden of the public

by the wholesale price index number
and in this way reduced'to pre-war

seen that the French debt has risen
! to three times the amount of the pre-
war debt, the British, debt to seven
/ times the amount, and the American
debt to nearly 10 times the amount
of the pre-war debt.
At the same time, 1t is pointed out
that before the war France had, per
head of her population, much high
err debt than Great Britain or the
United States and also that, in these

has considerably increased the public
debt. 1t is rather remarkable, says
the report, that the two countries in
which the public debt shows the
greatest real increase are the. only
countries which have been able tc
make any substantial repayments OF
their debts.
Leaving out Of account Germany
where the interior debt has been
Il practically wiped out by the enor-

can boast the smallest increase in Its
public debt is Finland, and after Fin

To improve his jumping ability,
the center of basketball team
should practice springing, stretching
and reaching. This may be done by
exercises that approximate game
conditions. Have some one throw
the ball up and try to time the di-
rection and the height of it. An erect
position is best the touching hand
about level with the shoulder. Spring
from the floor, stretch and reach as
high as it is necessary to touch the
ball on its downward course. Timing
and precision are essential. The arm
should be we'll extended and the ball
detected with the fingers, the wrist
and forearm employing rotary mo-
ton. 1t is necessary to watch any
peculicrity of the official when the
ball is tossed upward. The center
must not touch the ball on its up
ward course. as this is illegal.

and explaining his surprising herbal
medicine, Plant Juice.
For instance, just a few days ago.
Mrs. W. j. Anderson, popular and
well known San Antonio lady living
at 321 East Nueva street, called on
The Plant Juice Man and related
how the Plant Juice relieved her of
stomach trouble which she had been
suffering from for the past several
years.
Everything 1 ate made me suf-
fer" said Mrs. Anderson. "The
food would seem to form lump
right at the pit of my stomach and
/ would suffer badly with pain and
after the pain left, my stomach
would feel sore. l suffered from
heartburn, indigestion, sharp pains
in my right side and always had the
headache. Besides this, my liver was
sluggish and L was very nervous so
q pat the least thing excited me and
broke me up and 1 was always tired
out in the morning. In short, l felt
so bad that life was just drudgery.
Il tried many different medicines
but with very little benefit and then
/ heard about your Plant Juice and
started taking it and want to say
that it has done me more good than
anything / ever took. My stomach
has improved so much that / eat
fine now and nothing hurts me. The
indigestion has been relieved and i
eat anything and enjoy it and I
just can't praise your Plant Juice
enough"
This Plant Juice is a natural
medicine, being combination. of
natures roots, herbs and leaves, and
many people say it seems to act like
magic upon the stomach. liver and
kidneys so that it gives wonderful
relief from indigestion. gas and blOat- |
ing, pain and agony in stomach and |
chest, feeling like rock at the pit |
of the stomach. awful headaches. |
biliousness. constipation. dyspepsia, |
aches and pains in the back and the |
many other symptoms of disordered |
stomach. liver and kidneys.
The Plant Juice Man is at Som
mer's drug store, Houston and Ma
varro streets, San Antonio. where he
is daily meeting the local public and
introducing and explaining the
merits of this remedy. Free sam
,les given.
Plant Juice is sold also in San
Antonio at the other Sommer's drug
stores.

but the recognition of the government
now in power is Strengthening its cred
it, and it is safe to predict that the
situation will be relieved greatly by
the first of the year.
The trade between the tive coun-
tries is an interchange of products
rather than dollars. San Antonio must
realize this at once or it will be a
way station, and millions Of dollars
worth of merchandise will continue TO
pass through the gateway TO Mex
ico.'
1T is our duty to see that bust
ness men with the intention of goip"
into business in Mexico 60 there well
informed There are a lot of mer-
chants and business men in the Unit
ed States who will 60 to Mexico and
extend lot of promiscuous credits
and get their fingers burnt
IF desiring Mexican trade we must
first get the confidence of the Mexican
people and once that is secured it is
not easily lost.
I'VE cannot sell a Lat.i.-American
nation American standards. We cam
not change the tastes. likes and dislikes
of that country so the answer is for
San Antonio TO find out what they
want and how they want it, get it,
and then they will buy from us. San
Antonio is not going to become a great
trading center until it can supply the
demand for its own trade territory.
Capital must be induced to come here
