National Business Will
Soon Assume Great
Proportions
Bu JOHN SKELTON WILLIAMS. Comptroller
of the Currency
> 'G- ^ -':
5 Piloto by American
5 Press Association.
THE fall season has had a most stimulating effect upon all lines of
business. The demand for money is increasing. Manufacturing is
somewhat below normal, BUT THE LOCAL RETAIL TRADE
IS MUCH BETTER THAN IT HAS BEEN* FOR MONTHS. AND
THE HARVEST FUNDS HAVE PLACED THE AGRICULTUR
AL INTERESTS IN MORE THAN COMFORTABLE CIRCUM
STANCES.
This is, briefly, the condition of American business today as found
by the host of national bank examiners, and, of course, the bank reports
which are being received at the treasury department in response to the
call of the comptroller will bear out observations of the examiners.
But these officials find throughout the country a feeling that domestic
prosperity for the American people is inevitable.
TRADE EXPANSION AT HOME AND ABROAD IS MORE THAN A
MERE PROSPECT AND THAT WITH THE FEDERAL RESERVE SYS
TEM EFFECTIVE. WITH ALLENERGIES—GOVERNMENTAL AND OTHER
WISE—TRAINED TO THE SAME END, NATIONAL BUSINESS WILL AS
SUME GREAT PROPORTIONS WHETHER THE EUROPEAN STRUGGLE
IS LONG OR SHORT.
Wars Inevitable So Lona as Nations
Build Up Huge Armaments
By DAVID STARR JORDAN, Ex-President Leland Stanford, Jr.,
University
THE war is so hideous and wicked that no one man
or nation could have created it. It is the in
evitable result of military efficiency.
So long as nations protect themselves by outarm
ing other nations the story will be repeated. The
problem which we face now is to look forward to see
if we can act so that such a condition can never come
again.
It has been clearly enough shown that no war
can bring profit to any nation in these days and that
war is utterly futile as a process for reaching anv
definite end. YET THERE ARE CERTAIN MEN
WIIO FROFIT BY WAR—SOME IN GLORY
AND EXPERIENCE, SOME IN MONEY AXI)
SOME BY USING WAR AS A MEANS OE
SUPPRESSING CRIES FOR INTERNAL RE
FORM.
D. S. J OR. DAN.
To prepare for war is to insure war. 'J. tie great armaments ol tlie
world, costing virtually five thousand million a year, have all been gath
ered in the name of peace.
WARSHIPS AND SOLDIERS MAY BRING VICTORY. MILITARY
PREPARATIONS GIVE THE ADVANTAGE IN THE FIRST MONTH OR
TWO OF WAR. BUT NEVER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES DID THEY
MAKE FOR PEACE.
Mortality Among Men In Middle Life
Doubled In Fortu Years
By ELMER E RITTENHOUSE, President of the Life Extension
Institute, New York
THERE is a pictorial tabulation of the records of Massachusetts and
New Jersey from 1SS0 to 1900, and the increase of the death rate
after forty years from apoplexy, paralysis and diseases of the heart,
kidneys and circulatory system is astounding—more than one hundred
per cent. Those are peculiarly the diseases due to the modern style of
living. It is true that wonders have been accomplished in checking the
ravages of bubonic plague, yellow fever, smallpox, cholera and consump
tion, BUT WE ARE FALLING VICTIMS BY THE HUNDREDS
OF THOUSANDS TO THE HIGH PACE OF LIVING.
We have learned how to light and heat and ventilate our houses and
how to feed and clothe and bathe ourselves, but we have almost for
gotten how to walk or how to take any honest, genuine, sweaty exercise.
You know the life of soft physical ease we all lead in the city—no
exercise, too much food, too little sleep, disintegration generally. Look
at the flabby faced, jellv bodied people who ride habitually in automo
biles or at the equally decadent, pale, depressed ones who travel miles
to and from work in subway or other cars.
BOTH CLASSES HAVE FORGOTTEN HOW TO WALK. THEY HAVE
NO EXERCISE, YET THEY EAT AS MUCH AS EVER. WHAT MUST BE
THE CONDITION OF THEIR ORGANS!
ACT QUICKLY
Oclnv Has Been Dangerous in Al
aska
j Do tho right thins at the right
| time.
Act quickly in time of danger.
In time of kidn9y danger Doan's
Kidney Pills are most effective.
Pleaty of evidenco of their worth.
Mrs. M. E. Cook, State St., Sedro
Woolley, Wash., says: "I strained
my back while lifting and it was
lame and weak for a long time. I
had sharp, shooting pains iu my
back, and it 1 stooped it was hard
for id a to straighten. It was also
hard for mo to got uo from a chair.
1 was bothered by too frequent pas
sages of the kidney secreuions at
limes, then again they didn't pass
often enough. I doctored, but got
uo better, and finally I decided to
try Doan's Kidney Pills. After 1
had taken a few doses, l found
they were helping mt and I continu
ed using them uutil I was fixed up
iu good shape."

simplv ask for a kidney remedy—
get Doan's Kidney Pills—the same
that Mrs. Cook had. Foster-Mllburn

It lias happened that my natural
bent of mind allowed me to make
use of this farrenchiug mouth
piece, (he theater. It has been said,
and justly, that I have done noth
ing more than to pass through open
doors, lint many believe these open
doors were closed, and to those peo
ple I have proved that the doors
were open by passing through
thein. 1 have cried nothing new
through this mouthpiece. I know
it; 1 know it well.
I HAVE ONLY MADE TO RE ECHO
i THROUGH IT, IN A LANGUAGE

I COULD BETTER UNDERSTAND,

j AND WISE MEN HAD DISCOVERED
[AND SHUT UP IN BOOKS WHICH

BE TEMPTED TO OPEN. THAT IS
WHY I HAVE BEEN A DRAMATIC
AUTHOR.
