LESSENED PRODUCTION IS THE
SECRET OF HIGH COST
After n investigation of the high
coat of living problem, the council of
national defense finds: "
That the nation's productive pow
ers have not been fully utilized since
the armistice.
That too few goods,, notably the
necessities of life, have been pro
duced, and that even some of these
goods have been withheld from the
market, and therefore from the peo
ple. That the high cost of living is dut
in part to unavoidable war waste and
increase of money and credit.

The Best Insurance
Against Influenza
A Prominent Educator Believes That Vapomentha Is a
Sure Preventive
Dr. R. M. Brame, discoverer of
Brame's Vapomentha Salve, has a
letter from C. C. Wright, Superin
tendent of the Wilkes County, N. C,
Public schools, in which he says
"We have used Brame's Vapomentha
erable profiteering, intentional and ?al.ve f or neary aVve llls or whlch
unintentional.
The council believes that the reme
dies for the situation are:
To produce more goods, and to
produce them in proportion to the
needs of the people.
To stamp out profiteering and stop
unnecessary hoarding.
To enforce vigorously present laws
and promptly to enact such further
laws as are necessary to prevent and
punish profiteering and needless
hoarding.
To bring about better co-operation
and method in distributing and mark
ing goods.
To keep both producer and con
sumer fully informed as to what
goods are needed and as to what sup
plies are available, so that production
may anticipate the country's de
mands.
"Better standards of living are im
possible without producing morie
goods," said the council's announce
ment. "At the war's end our allies had
desperate need of the essentials of
life. We have had to share our re
sources with them, but this drain will
.gradually lessen.
"The process of production re
quires time. If production is rapidly
increased vastly improved conditions
will prevail in America when the re
sults of present and future labor be
gin to appear.
"Team work is imperative. The
manufacturer, the farmer, the dis
tributer must each immediately as
sume his part of the burden and en
ter upon his task.
"On American business rests a
it is prescribed and have always se
cured satisfactory results. If used
in time it has never failed to break
up colds, usually the forerunner of
Grippe, Influenza and Pneumonia.
. . . I speak from personal ob
servation. I believe if this prepara
tion is used in time it will prevent
the development of pneumonia in ev
ery instance, if used according to
directions."
These strong statements are fully
justified by the remarkable recoveries
that follow. Brame's Vapomentha
Salve is applied freely over the chest
and throat and inserted in each nos
tril. Brame's Vapomentha Salve
penetrates the pores of the skin, re
lieving congestion, at the same time
healing vapors arise and are breathed
through the mouth and nose, loosen
ing the pleghm and causing the pa
tient to breathe freely. Its absolute
reliability is evidenced by dozens of
unsolicited testimonials. Brame's
Vapomentha Salve will relieve pneu
monia, influenza, grippe, pleurisy,
bronchitis, whooping cough, catarrh,
asthma, tonsilitis, hay fever and in
flammation of the skin.
Vapomentha is applied externally,
and it will not stain the clothes, as
other salves do. No home should
ever be without it. Buy it from your
druggist or direct from the Brame
Drug Co., North Wilkesboro, N. C.

larger one, containing six times as

operation in bringing about full and

in the cost of living.
"The entire nation producer, dis

GERMAN EMIGRATION IS A PER
PLEXING PROBLEM
The moot question of emigration
forms a puzzling problem in Ger
many, all the more so because of the
huge taxation that is planned. The
empire is divided into two unequal
camps those who favor the emigra
tion of between fifteen and twenty
million Germans because they feel
that Germany can only recuperate if
it has a smaller population to nour
ish and support, and the vastly larger
group that feels emigration must not
be allowed because the forces are
needed there to take part in rebuild
ing and in paying taxes.
Financial experts estimate that a
man represents to Germany a capital
of twenty times his annual earning.
As the average German workman
now earns 2,000 marks, his capital
would be 40,000 marks. If 20,000
emigrate ea ceyhar Uofshrdlupsrdlup
emigrate each year, as has been sug
gested, then the fatherland is eight
million poorer each year, say the ex
perts, and that much intrinsic capital
is permanently lost. As the workman
is the highest economic property Ger
many still possesses, emigration is a
life and death question to Germany.
Jurge Bamberger, one of the many
who have been discussing the emi
gration problem recently, declares
that the new emigration bureau of
the government must restrain each
would-be emigrant at least six
months, not only, so that his case may
be investigated, but that he may have
a chance to change his mind.
