Our exports to Africa says a statement by The Natiohal City Bank of New York, in the year gvhich ends with this month wiil aggregate six times as mueh as in 1914, and our im- ports from that continent seven times as much as in 1914. Our tdtal trade with Africa in the calendar year 1920 will ag- gregate 325 million dollars against 47 millions in the fiscal yedr 1914, all of which preceded the War. Africa is, continues the bank's state- ment, the latest of the grand divisions to recognize the quality and Attrac.ive- ness of United States merchandise, and especially United States manufactures. For a long period prior to the war the exports to that continent were practi- cally at a standstill, and never reached as much as 30 million dollars per ah- num. With the opening of the war, Ger- man trade with that continent was, course, -absolutely cut off, and the Bri ish and French manufacturers and ex- porters were too busily occupied with other matters to give close attention to the African markets. As a consequence, the people of tha: continent turned to the United - States to supply the manufac- tures which they had been accustomed to draw from Great Britain, Germany, France, Belgium, Italy and Portugal, ds all of those European countries had large areas in Africa, and therefore sup- plied the bulk of the merchandise enter- ing_those markets, With this change in South Africa's buying opportunities—the necessity of looking to the United States instead of relying upon the European countries con- trolling the respective areas—our ex- ports to that continent begs to - climb; they were in the calendar year 1914, 25 million dollars, 1915, 17 millions; 1916, 54 millions; 1918, 59 millions; 1919, 98 millions, and in, 1920 ‘will show a total of 165 million dollars, or prattieally dou- ble that of the immediately - preceding year, and six times as much as in the year preceding the war. Meantime, we have reciprocated , this friendly “atlitude of our African neigh- bors, and have increased our purchases | from them to an. even greater extent measured in percentages at least. Our imports from 'Africa, which totaled ‘20 millions dollars in 1914, jumped to 35 millions in 1915; 62 millions - in 1916; 73 millions in 1917; 86 millions in 1918; 112 millions in 1919, and 160 . millions in 1920. It is proper to,add, however, adds the bank's statement, that this in- crease in our imports of African products I8 “more apparent than real” because of the fact that a large proportion of the Egyptian cotton which we formerly con- samed was bought in England, and ac- eredited to that country in our import returns, while the ‘“exigencies of _the war” resulted in ofr direct purchase of Egyptian’ cotton -in - the ‘markets of Egypt, and thus accrediting the cotton to Egypt, which Was Dot only its pro: suser but its direct exporter to the Unit- ed States, while formerly = Egypt had sent its dotton to England by which it was re-sold to the United States. Cotton is, of course, our large im- port from Africa, amounting in the fils tal year 1920 to 103 million dollars, soming direct from Bgypt, as against millions in 1916.

That Baby should have a bed of its own ail are agreed. Yeti#t is more reasonable for an infant to sleep with grown-ups than to use a man’s medicine in an attempt to regulate the delicate organism of that same infant. Either practice is to be shunned. Nejther would -be tolerated by specialists in children’s diseases. Your Physician will tell you that Baby’s medicine must be pre- pared with even greater care than Baby’s food. A Baby’s stomach when in good health is too often disarranged by improper food. Could you for a moment, then, thin¥ of giving to your a:/ing child anything but a medicine especially prepared for Ine fants and Children? Don’t be deceived. Make a mental note of this:—It is important, Mothers, that you . should remember that to function well, the digestive organs of your Baby must receive special care.
