WAR HAS SAVED
11. S. INDUSTRIALLY
Blood of Europe All That Hat
Saved This Country From
Another '93
Special to The Telegraph
Chicago, June 24.—Apprehension is
expressed by many persons over the
lopsided condition of financial affairs
—the unprecedented demand for cer
tain of our products, the immense im
portation of gold, and the awkward
position in which European govern
ments And themselves with respect
to payment of the expenses of the
war. It is toward the correction of
their troubles that the European gov
ernments are now looking in their ten
ders of bonds to the people of this
country-
But as for our own inconveniences
in this connection one financier says:
"If It had not been for the European
war we should be at this time in the
depth of a business depression. Every
thing was tending that way before the
first of August. The reversal of the
foreign trade balance was going on at
a rapid rate, and the new tariff law
was inviting every European manu
facturer to compete with our indus
tries.
"It is an unpleasant thing for us to
think of. but the blood of Europe has
saved us from another 1893. Do not.
therefore, lament too deeply the pres
ent distortion of our finances. Do
not be too sorry that the floating gold
of the world Is coming to the United
States. Do not be too sorry that many
of our manufacturers, who, but for the
European war would have been in
hard lines at this time, are rolling up
fortunes by the sale of munitions to
the Allies."
Supplicant Asks
Judge to Hear His Plea
Special to The Telegraph
Huntingdon, Pa.. June 24. —Accept-
ing, literally the court crier's formal
opening: "A 1 those having business
before the court, let them come for
ward and they shall be heard," Sam
uel Lewis, an aged man, walked slow
ly down to the bench and began to ad
dress President Judge Thomas Bald
ridge. Attorneys and attaches stared
in amazement.
Lewis aaked the court how he could
recover a property that should have
fallen to him from hjs mother's estate
since lawyers had failed to get him
satisfaction. The judge explained he
could do nothing.
"Didn't the court crier say all those
having business to come forward and
they shall be heard?"
"Yes," replied the judge, "but I
cannot act both as attorney and judge
In your case."
Lewis was told to employ counsel
and his case would receive consider
xtion.

Removes Hairy Growths
Without Pain or Bother
(Modes of Today)
It is not necessary to use a painful
process to remove hairy growths, for
with a little delatone handy you can
keep the skin entirely free from these
bes-uty destroyers. To remove hair,
make a stiff paste with a little pow
dered delatone and water. Spread this
on the hairy surface and In about 2
minutes rub oft. wash the skin and the
hairs are gone. To guard against dis
appointment, be careful to get real
delatone. —Advertisement.
A Message To Thin,
Weak, Scrawny Folks
An Way to (>nln 10 to 30 Tim. of
Solid, Healthy, Permanent Flesh
Thin, nervous, undeveloped men and
women everywhere arc heard to say, "l
can't understand why I do not get fat.
I eat plenty of good, nourishing food."
The reason is Just this: You cannot get
fat. no matter how much you eat, unless
j your digestive organs assimilate the
fat-making elements of your food In
stead of passing them out through the
body as waste.
What is needed is a means of gently
urging the assimilative functions of the
stomach and intestines to absorb the
oils and fats and hand them over to the
blood, where they may reach the starv
ed. shrunken, run-down tissues and
build them up. The thin person's body
Is like a dry sponge—eager and hungrv
for the fatty materials of which It is
being deprived by the failure of the
alimentary canal to take them from the
food. The best way to overcome this
sinful waste of flesh building elements
and to stop the leakage of fats Is to
use Sargol. the recently discovered re
generative force that is recommended
so highly by physicians here and
abroad. Take a little Sargol tablet with
ever meal and notice how quickly your
cheeks fill out and rolls of Arm, h'ea'lthy
flesh are deposited over your body cov
ering each bony angle and projecting
point. George A. Gorgas and other good
druggists have Sargol, or can get It
from their wholesaler, and will refund
your money If you are not satisfied
■vlth the gain In weight It produces as
stated on the guarantee In each pack
age. It Is Inexpensive, easv to take
>nd highly efficient.
Caution r —While Hnrgol has produced
remarkable results In overcoming ncrv
tus dyspepsia and genersl stomach
troubles. It should not be taken unless
you are wilting to gain ten pounds or
more, for It is a wonderful fk-gh-Uufldcr.

EATING WHAT YOU WANT
Not to be limited In his diet but to
eat whatever he pleases without dis
cdmfort is the dream of every dyspep
tic.
Nobody can honestly promise to re
store any stomach to this happy condi
tion because all people cannot eat the
same things with equally satisfactory
results. It is literally true that "what
is one man's food Is another man's
poison." But It Is possible to select
a pleasing diet from articles of food
that cause no discomfort and It is pos
sible to tone up the digestive organs.
When the stomach lacks tone there
Is no quicker way to restore it than to
build up the blood. Good digestion
without rich, red blood is impossible
and Dr. Williams' Pink Pills offer the
best way to build up the blood. They
also have a direct action on the nerves
and as the nerves control the processes
of digestion, these pills are especially
good In stomach trouble attended with
thin blood and In nervous dyspepsia.
You can begin this treatment at
once hecause your *own druggist sells
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Perhaps you
are not eating the right foods. Some
times the very things that people eat
"for their health" are the things that
hurt them. A postal card request to
the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Sche
nectady, N. Y., will bring a free diet
book. Write for It to-day.—Advertise

HIGH EXPLOSIVE SHELLS

Special to The Telegraph
New York. June 24.—Specifications
of a number of the contracts for am
munition placed in this country by the
allies, it was reported on good au
thority to-day, recently have been
altered so that thtepWw call for high
explosive shells, rather than shrapnel.
This step was taken, so it is said, in
accordance with the realization by tho
British government of the mistake in
pinning faith upon shrapnel for the
trench fighting, which monopolizes the
warfare on the western front.
