Comparisons Are Made. | Studying the situation microscopically, sconomists everywhere are asking them- | selves whether the symptoms of the present general economic crisis are like those of the critical periods in 1903, | 1907 and 1920. It is true that crises are never alike Precedin crises lasted at least nine months, ending in drops of 40 and 45 per cent in the rate of exchange. Thus the present crisis in America is one of the shortest duration. ‘Today one cannot repeat too often that symptoms of a world economic crisis are far from being in evidence, despite serious difficulties in_ Japan, Great Britain and Germany. It seems | evident that the most dangerous point | of the Bourse erisis has passed since | the recovery of Wall Street and since | London has passed through the Cape | healthy speculation. In most cases money rates have fallen to moderate levels, while ugluunuon and corpora- tion output rates increased to a con- siderable extent in consequence of the falling of prices. Redistribution of credit undoubtedly is necessary, and it has become possible since Wall Street is no longer attract- ing the whole world's speculative capi- tal. It ought to work out rationally, be- cause people will try to place their money where it will bring the best profits. In 1930, when the Young plan will be in force in Germany, Central European nations will be enabled to ob- tan fresh credits, of which these coun- tries have urgent need. Installations Going On. Finally, in all parts of the globe vast installations are going on in ports, on railways and in electric plants, and this will demand capital, which isstill super= 13 HANGING SENTENCE GIVEN MAN WHO ATTACKED GJRL Bluford Abbott, Freeing Cousins of Defendant.

It was a time when the forces of misrule were strong- est, and when they were reaching out | for complete control of government in Chicago and Tilinois. He entered the fray fearlessly and with such broadsides of attack that a good proportion of credit for the pub- | lic revolt that occurred in Illinois and Chicago early in 1928 was credited to | him. Since then he has been acting as | special prosecutor, chasing election | criminals. The last of his cases ended this week when, at the State's request, charges of murder against Police Lieut. Phil-Carroll and his_detective bureau squad, as well as against several gang- sters, were nolle prossed. “Al” Capone Case a Sample.

European bears wanted to profit from these parti- cular circumstances, but at Paris, at least, they met with much resistance.

Great steps forward, perhaps a little too rapid, have been accomplished since the World War, but in a few years these will appear quite small in com- parison with the great progress realiz- ible within the next decade.

Much of the credit goes by consent of the public to the man who was willing to battle at a time when most civic leaders were con- tent to pull in their horns and look for shelter. (Copyright, 1920.)

Then, too, I was always constipated, in fact the bowels would not move unless I used a strong laxative. I always felt tired, sluggish, worn out and some days my stomach hurt so I could hardly work. When I started with this Herb Extract I noticed that the first few doses had a soothing effect on the stomach; also caused a natural action of the bowels and before I had used all of the first bottle I felt bet- ter in every way. The continued use of this medicine has comfileuly relieved me of all my former health troubles and I must admit it is the greatest ever; food now agrees with me, no more stomach disorders. I sleep sound at night, get up feeling rested and ready for a hard day's work.
