Something We Overlook Most of us are wedded to the theory that jtnoney will .buy everything. On that premise we argue that increased wages will give us more ;noney to meet living costs and to purchase supfplies.t But we don't stop to think that all the j money in theWorld will not be able to buy supplies and commodities that do not exist, r Robinson Crusoe found a big lump of gold on ;his island, but he spurned it as useless because :its possession "did not enable him to procure tools,

fclothing and other necessities of life. These supplies did not exist on the island, and all the gold .he could discover would not enable him to obtain

a shovel or hammer.

- So also today. We are in the position of a tRobinson Crusoe. We do not need more money, ;but more supplies of all kinds. If the wages of Eevery man. in the United States were doubled overnight putting him figuratively speaking in -"possession of Crusoe's lump of gold, it would f avail him nothing, for his 100 per cent increase ;in wages would not provide the commodities that ?do not exist.

It is an indisputable fact that we are short ot ! supplies. Prior to the war the world carried a huge

I surplus in its warehouses. Four years of wan .j-.it i i i .LI ii. N

depleted tnese siocks, ana conditions since xne J war have prevented not only the accumulation of a surplus but even of a sufficiency to meet present needs. We see this illustrated in the sugar shortage, for instance. The government's forecast of winter wheat, moreover shows that it is only 75 per cent of normal. Farmers in Indiana and Ohio say they cannot till all their acres this year because

they cannot obtain farm laborers, which fore-i casts a diminution of foodstuffs of all kinds this fall. And so in all lines. It is a truism that you cannot have that which does not exist. If there is not enough wheat, corn, potatoes, rice, vegetables, etc., to go around, all the money in the world cannot conjure them from the ground or put them on our tables. It is also a well tested maxim that if there is overproduction, or a surplus of any commodity, prices go down. In that case you have a reversal of present conditions. A dollar will buy more goods than it does now, because the price of supplies is low. Logically, then, the best way to bring down prices is to produce more in factory, farm and mine, so that the empty warehouses will be filled, and the shelves of the jobbers and shopkeepers be loaded with merchandise. The present price level, however, is affected not only by the scarcity of commodities, but also by a considerable degree of unholy profiteering. Avaricious men have taken advantage of a situation to exact more than an honorable, decent and just profit from their operations. This conduct isreprehensible. But one check to this dishonest and immoral practice would be an abundance of goods. Profit

eers would be unable to realize extravagant profits if trie markets were flooded with goods, be

cause the people would absolutely refuse to buy, and the operation of the economic law would force the profiteers to sell goods at a fair price. If an abundance of supplies is really the solution of present conditions, every cessation of production interrupts the accumulation of a surplus and virtually plays into the hands of the profiteers, who can persist in charging exorbitant prices for articles. The "outlaw" strike of the switchmen, for instance, has already thrown more than 400,000 men out of employment, checked the production of goods, and made inevitable further increases in prices, which; the consumers must pay. As commodities become scarcer prices are going up. As commodities become abundant, prices will come down. Money cannot buy supplies that do not exist. What we need is greater production of everything needed in the home and in trade.

"I have suffered for quite a while with sluggish liver; at times I would get so dizzy, I would have to stop and sit down; spots would dance before my eyes; I had headaches and a bad taste in my mouth; my appetite became poor, and my food did not digest nor give me strength; my stomach was often sour, while gas and bloating caused me much uneasiness. The pains often extended round to my back and limbs', so that it was an effort to keep on with my work." says Mr. F. M. Lamb, who lives on Conners Road, West, near Richmond, Ind. "These was so much talk about and praise being given Dreco, I decided to try it. TJie first bottle proved to me it was a good medicine, as it soothed my stomach and relieved the gas forming. I continued the treatment, and never have a dizzy spell, nor see the spots before my eyes; my bowels act regular; my appetite is fine; and the food digests and gives me strength; I don't have any more pains in my back or limbs, and haven't had a headache in a long time. Dieco is a good medicine, and I gladly add my words ot praise for it." "Dreco acts on the liver in a smooth, gentle manner, gradually working off the excess bile day by day. It is neither strong nor harsh, and does not excite the muscles of the bowels, as strong cathartics do. It tones up the digestive organs, and relieves gas on the stomach; puts an end to constipation; increases the appetite; give3 strength to weak kidneys; restores tired nerves, and induces sound sleep. Dreco is a great blood purifier and system cleanser. All good druggists now sell Dreco, and it is highly recommended in this city, by Clem Thistlethwaite's six drug stores. Advertisement.

The Most WelcomeTiire That Ever Came to Market Men Who Appreciate Superlative Values Prefer The Brunswick

In every great tire factory, the chief question is: "How much can we give for the money?" And the product depends on the policy adopted. Every man who Has become acquainted with Brunswick Tires knows that Brunswick standards are again evident. This famous concern noted as a leader in every, line it entered since 1845 has once more proved that its policy is right. A perfect tire is simply a matter of knowledge and standards and skill. No secrets nor patents prevent making an ideal tire. But standards come first. For in tire making there is vast room for skimping, for subtle economies, for hidden shortcomings. Makers without the highest standards don't build high-grade tires. The Brunswick organization of tire makers includes a brilliant staff of technical experts. Not a man

among thei has spent less than 20 years in handling rubber. f Each is a master of his craft. And the new ideas they bring to the attention of Brunswick directors receive sincere consideration. f Every proved betterment is adopted unanimously. ' The Brunswick Tire is a combination of acknowledged features plus Brunswick standards of manufacture. The result is a super-tire, the like of which you have never known before. The kind of a tire you will gladly join in welcoming. Yet Brunswicks cost no more than like-type tires. Try ONE Brunswick. We prom ise a surprise. And we feel certain! that you will want ALL Brunswicks. Then good tires wjU have a new meaning to you.
