.AMERICAN BUSINESS ABROAD. Seventy per cent cf the $350,000,000 invested in the ofl Industry in Mexico is American capital. About. 71 per cent of the oil exported from Mexico during the first tlx months of this year was received in the United States. These two statements from the report of the United States department of commerce upon the petroleum re sources aird development south of trie Rio Grande may well be joined. They explain better than can columns of argument, the importance to this country of its ex pacdlng commerce. In a year that has seen much discussion of inadequate gasoline supplies, this exhibit of related facts has exceptional significance. With the failing of domestic oil fields, acquisitions bv .American companies in other lands become of tremendous concern to u. With us3 of oil multiplying until eTen great battleships are dependent upon it for motive power, our source of supply will be of even greater Importance la the future.

A RETROSPECT. It is remarkable how soon a healthy wound heals. The second winter's snow will soon be falling upon Chateau-Thierry, and fe vines that clustered about the naked wooden crosses the first spring have fastened their roots firmly in the dust cf the immortal sleepers. Two years ago how different it all was the big guns, but we know all that. Today there is a peace on all the sacred hills of France that never was there before. The hills that are corrugated with blealt plank3 nailed at right angles are rocking themselves to slumber again as the autumn winds sweep over them. A little old lady that lives down the street frcm almost anybody is going to the store ,as usual, buying ber table's reed, chatting with the neighbors about the mount of sugar she puts in water melon preserve, .r making a pair of pants for little Harold, aged eight, cut of Jimmy's overcoat. Sometimes she dusts off Jimmy's picture that hangs la the parlor, showing him in camp before he went across the sea. Everyone who see the picture is afraid to speak to the little old lady about It. she is so happy abut her little tasks which she performs so thoroughly and cheerfully. As we said before, it is remarkable how soon a healthy wound hea's. It seems as though the world is pr!a4 for the returning springtime fnd tries to forget the leaTes that fell in the early storms of winter.

INTEIXIGENTDISCONTENT. ,A director of the United States department of labor employment service makes an optimistic report of em rdoyment prospects for the winter. There will be plenty of opportunities fcr work, he declares, and we hope he i right. Especially agreeable is his statement that building construction is increasing, whether or not he is correct in saying that "builders have at last come to the belief that neither labor cor buildings costs are joing to decline. But we are a bit doubtful about the accuracy of his interpretation of the significance of "Coating employment among workers who quiet their Jobs in hope cf finding better ones." He nrzues that "the prevalence of this inte'iHgem di.-'or.tf n: in a good barometer of our prosperity; without a steady demand for labor, men would not risk quitting their Jobs to find new ones." An old and respected axiom warned that "it is always easier to get a job when you have one." The theory was that possession of a jcb proved a man capable of holding one; more, it was evidence that he was a desirable employe. That he was desirous of making a

change to better his condition was held to be a further good recommendation. Thai showed he had ambition and a fuir presumption was that he would perform service fatihfully and strive to establish his worthiness of advancement. But it was always a point in favor of the climber that be did net burn all of his bridges behind him; that he prudently stuck to one Jt! until he had secured new employment. In other tlms it may not have been designated "Intelligent discontent," but that is what it was. The fellow who quit his job because he did not Hke it without another in sight or because he was sure he was fitted frr something better that he did rot know he could get always has been classified with "Mr. Micawber." The ambitious man is still in demand, but impatience with idleness and zeal In the performance of duties also are still regarded as best proofs that a man is ambitious. The roan worth while never voluntarily puts himself in the position of "wait l.g for something to turn up."

INCREASING POLITICAL INDEPENDENCE. A notable manifestation of the growing spirit of I'Olltkal independence among the masses of th voters is found in the nomination of John M. Tarkt-r for the governorship of Louisiana at the recent Democratic primary. Mr. 1'arker vigorously supported Col. Roosevelt for the presidency in 1912 and was nominated for the vice presidency on the Progressive ticket in 1 9 1 rt . He was bitterly assailed in the recent campaign by the mid

dle-of-the-road party politicians and press of Louisiana

as being a Republican. Thi. i; fact, w-s made the issue against him but the voters or Louisiana. 1!kod him better than his straight-out Democratic opponent .tnd gave him the nomination, which of course means the election, by a handsome majority. The South is the most conservative part of the country when it comes to a question of party allegiance.

ben the Democrat;- of Louisiana give their '..?; 'loot poli '

tical honor to a man denounced by the mouthpieces of tneir own party organization- as a political renegade it behooves the great parties to put forward their best man for the presidency. Each party has a great nucleus of votes which it may absolutely count on, but more emphatically than ever before the independents hold the balance of power.

THIRTY WARS. The first anniversary of prate found the world with 30 wars. Ahe number fluctuates from day to day. but while there may be only 23 tcruorrow, it is almost certain that there wi',1 ba Zl the next day. It may be debatable how far European nations could interfere to bring the wars to a close. But ap parently it has not yet occurred to them that they could keep their hands off. thus withholding the quiet en courgement which is the backbone of most of the wars. No reserve ha3 been shown by the European press in criticizing the United States, and it has been not at all backward in questioning our good faith. It is not quite clear why all the good faith should be on one side, and to many persons it appears as though the situation In Europe provides the opportunity Jor our critics to set an example.

MRS. McADOO IS SNAPPED AT FAIR

SOMETHING PEOPLE CAN'T FORGET. Owners of Liberty bonds are still remembering with anger and resentment the rosy promises of the Wilson administration during the strenuous campaign in w-bich these securities wefe sold to the people promises to the effect that six months after the cessation of hostilities these securities would he selling above par. This declaration was made officially by Fresident Wilson's secretary of the treasury, Mr. Mc Adoo, and despite such assurance, the administration has taken no steps whatever to make good word. Fort Wayne News.

THE PROFITEER has had his day in this country, but there may be something in the fear of the New York Journal of Commerce that the downward movement of prices may cause the rendulum to swing to the ether extreme, causing over-production and unemployment. F.iir prices now for all necessities of life will prevent this.

Your Doctor As

One question before all others

You have heard it many times," Are your bowels moving regularly ?" Before all else, he asks this. Why? The reason is this : Most h uman ills result from ineffectual bowel elimination. Medical science for years has taught this truth. Millions of men and women know it today. They know that to keep well they must keep free from constipation. Till recent years, however, most people did not know this one thing: Oldfashioned cathartics, slow inaction and uncertain of results, endangered health. They took too long to act. They allowed time for the intestinal waste to send its poisons through the body.

A physic must act promptly and completely. Your physician will tell you this. Time is of vital importance, for germs breed by minutes in a clogged intestinal tract. Poisons quicklyentertheblood. They spread with astonishing rapidity. They weaken vitality. They are a common cause of disease. Constipation brings disease Foul breath, coated tongue, lassitude, muddy or pimply skins are outward signs of constipation. Who knows what serious results may follow? Colds, headaches, rheumatism, kidney troubles, influenza, pneumonia frequently result from improper intestinal elimination. That is why the waste must be removed at once. A day even half a day is too long to wait for results from a physic. Medical science today warns against

the old-fashioned, slow-acting type of carthartic. For safe and certain results, physicians everywhere now prescribe a harmless mineral water. This water is known as Pluto. It never fails to give prompt and complete results. The reason is the minerals it contains. These minerals soften the waste accumulation. The water helps to flush it gently away. Relief is prompt and complete. The action is pleasant and gentle entirely free from the griping effects of old-fashioned cathartics. Know real health A small amount of Pluto in a tum'bler of hot or cold water, and the poisons are soon flushed away. Health is safeguarded, normal activity restored. You feel fit once more. Every day, more and more men and women are learning the secret of health. You see them everywhere. Happy smiling. Minds clear. Faces beaming health. Thousands take Pluto Water even when they are not constipated. They know the system needs a periodic cleansing. They keep their health at par this way. Do this today: Ask at your druggist's for a bottle of Pluto Water. Try it at home. Take it on arising, or before meals. Mark its gentle, harmless action. Note how prompt and complete the results. You will feel like a new person ! Pluto Water is the reliable home laxative effective both for children and grown-ups. As a laxative take X tumbler of Pluto; as a cathartic, 3 i tumbler; as a purgative, Ja tumbler add hot or cold water to fill glass. Keep Pluto always in your home. Safeguard your family's health. Bottled at French Lick Springs, Indiana. Your physician prescribes it.
