Bountiful .-ro.. of early fruit au.l vegetables ami promise . of an abundance of Jiar.lier later jiehis from fields nud on-hanl, with the big American floor credit still, available tor 1 tl ration of daily hread hare given Austria a reprieve from the terrible l.nrd anips of last winter. Fats are as starve as ever, however, but in this grariotis weather their need is Sot M keenly felt. Meat, too, is scanty and liigh, beyond reach of the masses. The American flour credit will be ex hausted before the winter sets rfairly in and no man in Austria knows from where or by what means ii will be re placed. Strikes and disturbances in the Tesi-h-B coal fields, the situation in SSilesia, virtual suspension of the Hungarian sup pry, little as it was and, finally, Aus tria's inability to enforce even the mea gre contractual supplies from Bohemia, kin prevented the hoped for accumula tion of a modest fuel reserve during the summer months. I'ublic utilities of Vienna ore reported to have put a week's Twerve of toal for power and light and Jews than a month of fras coal at a mini mum, consumption. The last Austrian pijj iron oven in operation has just drawn its fires for lack of coke. Inf this situation has been injected a curious business phase resulting from ts increased value of the crown on for eign change. In the late winter and ear ly spring the crown dropped as low as 350 to the dollar on private exchange. "Encouraged by this a small export trade was nourished. Austrian factories, fam 40a for certain forms of finished articles, began' to resume operations on alimited sjeale, foreign buyers seeing a good busi ness chance in the low crown value . againts standard monies. Manufacturers were able to get ad ranees of credit to secure coal and need ed raw materials. It was a good specula tion for foreign values. Then the Min ister of Finance, Dr. Reisch, dropped a tihit one day during a debate in the as- :. embly that it wpuld be wise if Austrian retail sellers, were to raise their crown prices 'to the equivalent of foreign values. They did it. A. suit of clothes that cost from 3,000 to 4,000 crowns rose ia price from 15,000 to 18,000 crowns. Every- . thing else went up in.proportion. Then the government, acting on the , ame( principle, . is reported to have gone , 4m the Zurich exchange, which controls rown quotations, with large amounts of foreign money and forced the crown up. Their efforts were assisted unexpetcedly by an influx into Austria of foreign mon- y'. .speculators. Appreciation of the .monies of the 'Other countries of Central mad. Eastern Europe made this their last iield for speculation. Pounds, dollars : mad francs became plentiful with small demand and the crown rose in value until -lb official price was i:iO to the dollar md 150 in private deals. Retail prices continued to go up, so that with the rise ia the crown cutting foreign values one tialf, the plan literally "cut its own throat" , Foreign buyers quit. Retail trade stagnated. Native Austrians did not know whether to laugh or cry at a straw Aat in a window bearing the price of . Q00 crowns. But they were not sold. The next step in the reaction hit the ttasie industries. The few factories waaning have begun to curtail or close jdown as orders are cancelled and new contracts fail to come. The Ministry of oeialixation is beieged with requests Iran manufacturers to be permitted to discharge employes, it being reported -that as high as twenty a day have been woeently received.

A NEW DAY. News and Olvserver. As the legislature meets in special ses sion, North Carolina takes a new look at its inventory and sees that it is a rich State. No longer can we entertain the idea that we are pour and l.andicappe.l. The actual count .it' value mado from . very couu'.v -if t e State shows us that we are among the wealthy people of the nation. The co.,nt is olh.-ial. It is nof . pen to d:v -iiK-duii. 1 'tie values are there. They are not tMe result of any guess. They are the dual total of figures offered by the property owner, verified by the tax commissioners of eatdi county ami ratified by the district agencies. North Carolina is a State or' great wealth. This is so important that we hould realize its meaning. We are no longer in the one-gallus crowd, and our repref sentatives in the Legislature have no oc casion to any longer act as though we were. The special session i9 not going to do i all that is to be done on the tax measure, f but it is going to make another move to I start us mi t lie recognition of the fact j mat we nave grown to De one or ttie great States of the Ijiion, and that we f 'an no l"nger stand for the provincial nirtheds that were big enough and broad enough in the days when as a comnion '.vealMi we were poor and small. UNUSUAL JONDITIOH rat Lady Suffered With Pulling and Aching Pains in Her Back, Which Cardui Relieved. GERMANY IMPORTING LUXURIES FROM ABROAD. (By the Associated Press.) BERLIN, July 26. Since the raising of the blockade, Germany has imported 10,000,000,000 marks' worth of silks, perfumes, chocolates, oranges, cigarettes nnd other luxuries from abroad, accord ing to German advocates of "the simple life." A new movement known as the League for the Regeneration of Germany, which preaches plain living and high thinking a return to old-time simplicity, coupled with a revival of intellectuality as op posed to the crass materialism of the present day, hus been started here. It deprecates the daily issuance of 2fi,000, 000 marks in paper currency by the gov ernment. An appeal is made to the people to confme. themselves to the essentials of life no more foreign-made clotihes or luxury foods, no more expensive pleasure trips abroad; no more costly presents. The promot-ors, among whom are for mer Finance .Minister (kunt Roedern ; the economic expert Walter Rathenau and a dozen well known professors and social welfare workers, emphasize that they are not ascetics nor prohibitionists but that they make a plain appeal tb the common sense of the people to restrict their general expenditure for the sake of the Fatherland. It is claimed for the movement that it is entirely non-partisan and that it has the official endorsement of the govern ment. Houston, Texas. Mrs. C. D. Coot, of 1912 Whitty Street, this city, recently said: "About four months after m7 marriage, I . . . began suffering much pain, and knew that my condition was unusual, but couldn't just decide what was wrong. I had to go to bed. . . . "All across my back and hips were pains, pulling and aching until I could hardly sit up. I stayed in ted a few days. My husband had heard of Car dul ... so I told him he might get it. "After I had taken Cardul a few days, I was up. I took five bottles and haven't been In bed since for this trouble, for If I have the least symp toms of this trouble I get Cardul and take it in time. . j "I have a number of friends who have used Cardul, and they recommend it very highly." The experience of this Texas lady Is similar to that related by thousands of other women, Cardul is purely vegetable, and mild and gentle in its action. Cardul may be the very medicine you need if suf fering with womanly troubles. Take CarduL NC-13i CROP NEWS INDICATES LOWER FOODSTUFFS (By The Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.
