lleve I got one good nights sleep.
l had to use strong laxatives con-
tjpually. got down to thirty pounds
under weight and felt so weak I
could hardly walk around the
house. After taking medicines and
treatments unsuccessfully for two
years I reluctantly concluded that
l would never feel much, if any,
better.
MY friend Rev. J. H. Robertson
had been remarkable relieved by
Retonga and consulted him about
it, with the result that I started
taking this medicine myself. With
in a week I began to get relief.
Within ninety days I felt so much
better that 1 became associated
with a big construction company.
This was nearly two years ago and
I haven't missed a day from the
job since. I have regained twenty
five pounds. I feel better than in
years. Naturally my gratitude to
Retonga is unbounded."

Then he goes on. In the very
next breath, 10 say that poverty
spreads. No nation, however poor
it may now be, must be allowed to
remain poor! II that we're 10 be
allowed. others would catch its
poverty.
Why it is not equally possible
for the prosperity and wealth of
strong nations TO become diffused,
through trade, among all, is more
than I can see.
One condition which is working
TO keep the conference from get
ting too far, is the divergence of
interest among the nations. Take
the quota question for example.
How much is each 10 contribute
to the fund? Cd Some have al
ways had little resources of any
kind, and are considering the cost
carefully. 90 The invaded coun-
tries have suffered damage, and
want Special concessions. 80 Some
want the greater voting power
that goes with large quotas. (4)
Among these, the reasons Of some
may be that they can thus more
readily tap the resources of the

Money Meet
Aims Scored
BY LEWIS HANEY
Professor of Economics. \. Y. Unlversit,

Professor OF Economies, y. n University
AS stated here the other day,
the thing that impresses me about
the so-called monetary confer
ence" is that It is not monetary
at all, in any ordinary sense. 1t is
not concerned with the principles
of sound money. 1t is concerned
with managing some kind of cur
rency, any kind of currency for
the purpose Of managing world
affairs.
Roosevelt in saluting the con-
ference, refers 10 establishing an
orderly, harmonious world" and
proposes a dynamic and soundly
expanding world economy" as a
means Of advancing living stand
ards for all.
Morgenthau. in addressing the
conference, stated that the "pur-
pose" is simple:
THE United States" said he,
wants full utilization of fac
tories and farms, full and steady
employment, full prosperity, and
peace"

Sales. Service Jobs
Seen for Veterans
BY sILER FREEMAN

Sales and service jobs in the
automotive field offer a definite
haven for returning war vet
Grams and workers released
from the factories after the
war. d. E. Ahrens, general sales
manager of Cadillac, believes.
Ahrens recently completed a
swing around the country in
a survey of distributor and
dealer facilities and found that,
generally, the total of new and
used car statesmen is only about
5 per cent of normal today.
Servit personnel is down as
low as so per cent.
Merchandising executives face
the task of rebuilding their
sales STATS, Ahrens pointed out.
Low production and high de-
mand Immediately after the
war will pose problems which
only good craftsmanship can con-
quer, he stated.
"They will have to be the
best statesmen this industry has
ever had to keep the customer
sold during the waiting for
delivery period" Ahrens con-
cluded.

Build New Ambulance

Dodge Truck has completed
experimental work on a new
type of ambulance for the army.
Chief advantages of the new
vehicle are easier loading and
greater carrying capacity.
The new ambulance will carry
eight persons seated, against
seven now. 1t will carry two
reclining and four seated pa
tients and with more comfort.
Increased capacity is accom-
plished by adding lax inches
to the width of the body, while
only adding 6k inches to the
width of the vehicle by using
wheel housings instead Of fend-
ers. Loading is made easier by
sliding the stretcher up an an
gle into the upper carrier, which
is then raised and locked in
horizontal position. Loading is
done entirely from the rear.
Dodge is the largest manu-
facturer of army ambulances.
Up to May 1 it has delivered
$4,000.
