Don’t give it a chance to “set in”—use Dr. King’s New Discovery THAT dangerous stage where a cold or cough or ease of grippe might get the better of you may be nearer than you think. Prompt action with Dr. king's New Discovery will avert a long siege. For fifty years it has loosened congested chests, dissipated tlghtpr.cked phlegm, broken \ iclons colds mid coughs.

REMOVE WAtFS SCARS France Has Already Rebuilt 60,000 Houses. Much of Railroad and Canal Sy»Um« Have Been Put Into Shape Again. [ Capt. Andre Tardieu. member of the I French Peace commission, has given luteresting figures on the reconstruc'ilmi work accomplished since the armistice. Sixty thousand of the 550.000 houses wrecked by shell-fire have been 'rebuilt; 2,016 kilometers of the 3,246 'kilometers of railway destroyed bi.ve beeu repaired and 700 of the 1.675 kilnueters of canals rendered useless are again in commission. Os the 1.160 plants destroyed, 588 have beeu repaired. Equally remarkable progress is being made in restoring to cultivation iu the devastated regions the vast u-eas which the end of the war left with their rich surface soil plowed tinier by artillery, sown with dangerous mexploded shells and cut up by trench I ?s and thousands of miles of rusting ! airbed wire. The devastated area embraced 4,500,000 acres. Os this approximately 1.000.000 acres have b.eu ' returned to the farmers and 500,000 icres are ready for seed. More ti an j 1.000 miles of barbed wire have been lisentangled and carried away in the operation. Commissioner Tardieu added that a ’ ?ountry which bad lost neariy 2.000,- . iJOO workers, killed or incapacitated by war; which had been deprived by ■ Invasion of one-fifth of its productive •apltnl and which nevertheless of its I wu efforts had accomplished such a | showing had a right to rely on the es- : fective help of its allies to restore ' Completely its economical and financial I status. PAPER MONEY PUZZLES SLAVS l Currency in Such a Scrambled Condition That It Hurts Business of Country. Belgrade.—Not the least of the ills that beset Jugo-Slavia is the scrambled condition of its paper currency. j The paper money of lialf a dozen ■ countries is in circulation in various parts of the kingdom of the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. In Belgrade it- , self the "krone” of Austrian ancestry is still the unit by which all commodities are priced. The situation is further complicated by the fact that the ratio of exchange ■ between the different moneys varies I from day to day. Indirectly, the chaotic currency 1 ■ situation has aggravated the problem i of provisioning the country by impeding the movement of surplus foodstuffs from one section to another. Farmers who possess a surplus which , they would willingly sell under stable money conditions decline to barter them for paper whose value is one thing today and another thing tomorI row.

MEW RAIL CONTROL IN FRANCE "Committee of Exploitation” Put in Charge of Lines by Govern' ment Decree. Paris.—A decree instituting the “committee of exploitations” to have control of the railroads in France will appear in the Journal Official tomorrow. This is in accordance with the plan of M. Claveille, minister of public works, which provides for the collaboration of representatives of commerce and industry or railway workers with the heads of departments and directors in the management of the roads. The committee w ill comprise a higher official of each line as president, the operating managers of all lines, three representatives of commerce and industry designated by the minister >f public works and three representaives of the employees, also designated »y the minister.
