(Special.) Announce ment that tourist trarel to Europe will be prevented until about July 1, If strictly adhered to will mean the sarins of millions of dollars to America. It the passenger steamers crossing the At lantic Kach of these tourists would par not only bis steamship fare over and back, but would spend many, many times as much traveling over kurope, buying souvenirs, hiring- automobiles, employing guides, etc TearUt Travel Is Cetly. A Nation that spent $100,000,009 year touring Europe In ordinary fme could easily apend more than a blllio a year with the ununual attraction battlefields over which relatives bad marched In their campaigns against the Hun. Money spent In this manne would be an absolute loss to America business. It would be money take ut of the country with nothing ma' terlal brought back In return for It. In normal times the balance of trad In merchandise has nearly always been In favor of America, and yet 1 very freauently happened that the busl - ness balance was against the United States for the reason that we were sending abroad sums of money, th amount of which "can only be approxl mated, for various purposes othe than the purchase of goods. Interest Charges Heavy. We were paying, for Instance, some IZOO.OOO.OOO to 1300.000.000 as Interes and dividends on capital invested In this country by Europeans. We were paying some $200,000,000 a year to the owners of ships sailing under foreign flags. Added to these sums were the 1 100.000.00". according to estimates. taken to Europe by tourists. In the futuYe things will be differ ent- We shall certainly not' be paying Interest and dividends on foreign In vestments, for at the present time the United States Is a creditor to the extent of ten billions or more, on which there should be an Interest income of ap proximately U00.000.000 a year. Presumably because of the large merchant marine we have been con structlng, we shall carry most of our goods In American bottoms. Thus we should save at least 1400.000.000 we have paid out for transportation. In terest and dividends, and receive In stead an Interest Income of some $400. 000.000. or a difference of $800,000,000 in our favor as compared with pre-war times. In addition to this we should have an unusually large balance in our favor In our merchandise trade, par tlcularly until Europe gets on a, self- supporting basis in the production of food. Karvpeaa Travel Carfced. But It Is readily apparent that If the American people, who are Just now en Joying an abundance of wealth, should return with greatly Increased Interest to the pleasure of touring Europe, it will be very easy to overcome the financial balance now In our favor. We ran easily send back to Europe th $400,000,000 we shall receive as Interest on our credits and as much more to cover all or part of our future annual balance In merchandise. 'or the present. It Is estimated that no tourist travel will be permitted, as all. the available space will be needed for the transportation of goods. The demand for passage Is very strong. however, and It will not be surprising If the pressure shall result in a relaxa tion of the regulations and a throwing open of the gates so that the rush to Europe may begin. Big Forelga Trade leesss. There Is another channel through which large sums of money will pass from America to Europe. Persons of foreign birth who have relatives In France." Northern Italy, Germany and Belgium will be sending money to those relatives to assist them In recon struction. This, of course, Is entirety commendable, but It is a factor Jhat must be taken Into consideration never theless. In figuring the future of America's financial position. Money sent out of America, however commendable the purpose, la so much subtracted from our circulating medium and vastly more subtracted from the basis of our credit system. Practically all discussion of our com mercial status assumes that we shall continue to be larger exporters than Importers of commodities. This will undoubtedly be true, for a time at least, but with a free-trade law on the stat ute books and with the nations of Europe and Asia anxious to get back into trade competition, the length of time we shall be able to maintain our balance of trade In commodities Is problematical. For several months be fore the war broke we were buying more goods than we were selling. That situation was brought about by the free trade traffic law.

U&MlW- ' &&ZJ&3&!&fb I Cretonne' Snecial W V - M - W V I Judging from the countless nrenars tions and treatments which are contin ually being advertised for the purpose of making thin people fleshy, develop ing arms, neck and bust, and replacing ugly hollows and angles by the soft curved lines of health and beauty, there are evidently thousands of men and women who keenly feel their excessive thinness. Thinness and weakness are usually due to starved nerves. Our bodies need more phosphate than Is contained In modern foods. Physicians claim there is nothing that will supply this fieri ciency so well as the organic phos phate Known among druggists as bltro- phosphate, which Is Inexpensive and If 'mm n i- CI it. MS ,.: r I jig p " ' ' w J Miss Josephine Davis sold by most all druggists under a guarantee of satisfaction or money back. By feeding the nerves directly nd by supplying the body cells with he .necessary phosphoric food ele ments, bltro - phosphate quickly pro- uces a welcome transformation in tne ajipearance; the Increase In weight fre- uentiy neing astonishing. Clinical tekts made in tot, Catherines Hospital, X. T. C. showed that two patients gained In weight. 23 and 27 pounds, respectively, through the ad ministration of this organic phosphate; both patients claim they have not felt as strong and well for the past twelve years. i ma increase in weigni aiso carries 1th It a general Improvement In the eailn. rtervousness. sleeplessness and ack of energy, which nearly always (company excessive thinness. . soon disappear, dull eyes become bright and pale cheeks glow with the bloom of perfect nealth. I'nysicians ana nospiiais everywnere are now recognizing Its merits by Its se In ever increasing Quantities. Frederick Kolle. M. P.. editor of New York Physicians' "Who's Who." says: Bitro-Pbosohate should be prescribed by every doctor and used in every hos pital to Increase strength and nerve force and to enrich the blood." Miss Josephine Davis, reporting her own experience with bltro-phosphate, says: "It Is remarkable what it did for me. After a few days I began to re gain my strength, felt full of life, was able to sleep soundly and all my little troubles seemed to disappear. I gained twelve pounds In four weeks." Joseph V. Harris-an. rormer Visiting Specialist to North Eastern Dlspensa- ory. says: ict mose wno are weak. thin, nervous, anaemic or run down, take a natural, unadulterated substance uch as bltro-phosphate and you will soon see some astonishing results In the Increase of nerve energy, strength body and mind and power of en durance."

Adv. SERATH0L FOR . INDIGESTION A PHYSICIAN'S ADVICB. Owing to the great variety of stom ach aliments and the hundred and one "specifics" for their treatment it would Indeed be a mere chance if the average layman selected a remedy for his own case that would give substantial and lasting benefits; even granting that the selected remedy possessed real merit when administered for a speclfle con dition. It Is therefore not surprising to find the sufferer from stomach Ir regularities buying and trying first one "cure" then another In a vain en deavor to obtain relief. Recent Investigations of the treat ment of a large number of cases of in digestion, dyspepsia, gastritis and con ditions arising; from hyper-acldlty of the stomach, prove that there is noth ing more effective in the treatment of these ailments than ordinary Serathol which can be obtained from any good druggist at trifling cost. Many a suf ferer from these complaints has 'been agreeably surprised at the almost in stantaneous relief and subsequent per manent benefit from Its use. In many cases of hyper-acidity a single dose of Serathol produces almost magic ef fects. Adv. ; .
