Two Letters; * — -- I The first written twenty years ago, the second recently by K Mrs. J. H. toarland, Vrankston. Texas. » June 2, 1904, she writes “For twenty-three years I wr.s a constant sufferer from chronic catarrh. I had a severe misery and burning in the top of my head, a continual dropping of mucous into my throat causing frequent expec torat;on. My entire system be crmie involved and I grew worse. It seemed as if I could not recover from a constant cough and fre quent attacks of bilious colic. My bowels were affected, causing alarming hemorrhages. I tried many remedies and finally took Pe-ru-na. In three days I was re lieved of my bowel trouble and en tirely cured by five bottles. I most . cheerfully recommend Pe-ru-na.” June 30, 1924, Mrs. Bourland writes again:— “I will soon be seventy-nine years old and enjoy god health for one of my age. I still recommend Pe-ru-na and take it myself when necessary.” For more than half a century ?e-ru-na has a proud record of good done. Men and women the world over stand ready to testify to its value in the treatment of all catarrhal disorders. Send 4 cents postage to the PE-RU-NA COMPANY, Columbus, Ohio, for book on catarrh.

From the Kansas City Star France, with British co-operation, has taken the first step to learn the best possible terms it can get on its debt to the United States. That is the meaning of the French-British agreement' ar--* rived' at .'recently. The French government owes us $4,000,000,000. It doe6 not propose to pay any of the principal on this debt. It does not propose to pay even the interest. It proposes to pay a little less than half the interest for 60 years. The American taxpayers would be expected to take care of in terest amounting to about $90,000,000 a year, and the full amount of the $4,000,000,000 of principal. This in brief is the proposal made under cover of the British agreement. The reasons why the offer was made under cover are appar ent. Britain has agreed to the terms proposed. If the United States fails to agree—although its debt status is wholly different from that of Britain—this country can be held up to the world as a cruel Shylock, demanding its pound of flesh. This moral pres sure is expected to hold down the American demands even if the present offer is refused. Britain tried the same thing through Lord Balfour’s famous note of August 1, 1922, when he suggested that his government would be glad to cancel debts if only America would cancel the British obligations. Britain was glad to lend its co-operation to the French scheme because in the first place it had virtually abandoned hope of coL lecting anything from France, and in the second place there was a bare possibility of using any concession from America to France as the basis for an appeal for a revision of" the British debt settle ment. Altogether it apparently struck both the French and British negotiators as a pretty slick maneuver. Pretty slick. But it won’t get them anywhere. As has been said, the position of the United States in the war was wholly different from that of England and France. The na tional existence of those two nations was threatened. They made common cause in a desperate struggle in which for a long time France furnished the men and Britain mads up with money for its lack of trained men. On the successful outcome both profited enormously. France won back national security and the rich pro vinces of Alsace and Lorraine. Britain won an enormous colonial empire and got rid of the menacing German fleet. The interest of the United States was much more remote. It had had nothing to do with the conditions that finally brought on the war. It did not seek to profit in any degree by the outcome. HOME AGAIN. When someone you love Has been away And comes back home to you, You wa'k ’neath the stars In the dewy dark And a winged prayer, Like a singing lark Mounts up—unto the blue. In wonderment, With grateful heart— "I come, dear Lord, to Thee— For Thou hast brought my own— Back nome— Safe home again to me. —Neva Lavelle Wadhains. Economic Recovery in Europe, From Bache Review. Measured by strict economic standards and comparing the situ ation from year to year, enough defi nite progress has been made in Eu rope to warrant optimism as to final quite substantial recovery. It is true that the financial conditions in some countries are still matter for apprehension, but a,i the latest Bul letin of the International Chamber of Commerce says, or quotes, “if people judged each other wholly by their shortcomings instead of by i their virtues, no one would have any friends,” and this principle applies Blonds Dying Out in England. From the Youth’s Companion. An authority on cultural anthro pology says that In the great urban centers of Great Britain the tall blonds are dying out and are being replaced by short, dark-haired and brown-eyed people. The Nordic blond seems to thrive best in the country, and the dark peoples do best in the cities. The 'anthropologist predicts that, if England continues to become more and more urban, Alpine and Mediterranean folk will predominate, as Urey did centuries ago. equally to countries. The Interna tional Chamber of Commerce is about to publish a digest, In detail, of what the belligerent countries of the great war have accomplished in economic restoration. Briefly, the digest shows that five of these coun tries have regained sufficient con trol of their finances to create or re organize Independent Banks of Is sue, freo from all political influences, and have ceased currency infla tion. These countries are Austria, Po land, Germany, Hungary and Latvia —also the free city of Danzig. In Great Britain, Sweden, Switzer land the Netherlands, the currency has returr.ed to par. In Germany, Austria, Hungary and Poland, the currency appears to have been stabil ized definitely,#:>nd in Germany rests upon what is practically a gold basis. The budget position of practically every country in Europe has Im proved, and in a number of coun tries may be regarded as satisfactory. Taxation in some countries has been reduced. - The Reason. From the Philadelphia Bulletin. Haddit—Your summer home is no where near the sea. Why do you call it the Breakers? Spendit—’Cause it broke me. In these days of perplexed pedes trians the new evolution prophesies the survival of the quickest.—Provi dence Journal. Recent savings bank figures show that the Germans are beginning to save again and in the last year and a halt the number of depositors has grown rapidly. During the inflation period no one In Germany thought of saving money. It was a policy of either “spend It before It is worthless” or “get-rleh-quick.'’ Gradually, however, with the stabilizing of the mark value, the wisdom of economy has begun to reassert'■ Itself. Government officials and brain workers furnish the largest percentage of depositors. __ _* Canadian Farmer* Anti-Tariff. From the Christian Science Monitor. Another change in the political oomplexion of a Canadian provincial government has resulted from the elections in New Brunswick, where the conservative party, under the leadership of J. B. M. Baxter, ha* won a sweeping victory over the lib erals, who have held office for eight -^•ears. As in h ,va Scotia, there was only a slight attempt to Introduce dominion partisan politic* into the “contest, which was conducted almoBt entirely upon issues of provincial af fairs, combined with the usual "charges of extravagance and Incom petence that are always urged against the party in power. The chief point of controversy was over the development of the Grand Falls wa ter power, the plan put forward by the liberal government being de nounced by the conservatives a* un wise, and likely to result in a bur den of debt *oo great for the taxpay ers to assume. That the electorate has voted the government out does not necessarily mean, however, that this great project, and other water power developments, will be aban doned, as the Incoming party la pledged to aid in utilizing the coun trys’ rivers by all practical methods. The defeat of the liberal party, taken in connection with the reverses in Ontario, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island, may have a highly significant bearing upon the proba bilities of a conservative victory in the coming election of the dominion house of commons. It is expected that the prime minister, W. L>. Mac kenzie King, will shortly set a date for this election at some time this year, and the conservatives arc high ly confident that they will secure a majority, or at least a sufficient number of members to give them the government. The present administra tion exists only by sufferance of the farmer contingent in the house, and if the conservatives are able to make substantial gains, the farmer repre sentatives may decide to withhold their support from the liberals. Since practically all the farmer members are pledged to the policy of tariff reduction, and the establishment of closer trade relations with the United States, a direct alliance with the high-protection conservatives la im probable, and it is conceivable that in event of an effort being made to Increase taxes on imports, a combina tion might be effected that would make it impossible for a conservative government to carry out a higher tariff program. _ Rotor Ship Is for Sale. From the Pathfinder. FOR SALE—Flettner rotor ship Buokau, 600 tons, steel built 1921. Flettner rotors installed 1924, subse quently charged to accommodate about 500 sightseers. On account of world-wide interest which the inven tion of the Flettner rotor has at tracted, this vessell is considered of tremendus advertising value. The above advertisement recently appeared in a New York paper. It writes the last chapter In the story of an invention that not long ago attracted world-wide attention. After many tests, the practicability of the Flettner rotor has been disproved and the object of so much publicity has degenarated into a pleasure craft for advertising purposes. The wind driven revolving masts do not give the boat a speed that will enable it to compete with ordinary sail boats. The Buckau at present Is cruising ' in the Baltic for publicity purposes. It carries passengers who want go pay for the novelty of riding on the odd craft. Not long ago the ship was driven away from in front of the royal palace at Stockholm where it ran as an excursion boat until its Jazz band and beer taps proved too great a nuisance. Proof.

Chinese Boy Scout Won Courage Badge Tlie Bronze cross, highest award of honor granted by the British Boy Scouts association, was recently post humously presented to a member who sacrificed his life In an attempt to save the life of Ills father. The story of the boy’s courageous net follows: “Early this year the home of Scout Fred Gsell of the First Tientsin (China) troop of hoy scouts caught fire. Gsell’* father and mother were asleep when the boy raised the alarm. The mother escaped through a bedroom window onto the garden wall. The scout could have followed, hut would not desert his father, who, lie saw, was stupefied and unable to move. The scout could not lift his helpless parent, and refused to leave him. When the firemen entered the building they picked up tbe dead body of the father and the living hut un conscious body of the scout himself. The hoy, however, was dead when he reached the hospital."
