Prior to the war Russia imported nearlv all of her manufactured articles from Germany?enormous quantities of them. Now Russia seeks to establish close trade relations with the United States. She wants to buy her hundreds of millions of dollars worth of supplies from us, and she has the gold with which to pay. Great possibilities for the future are opened up to the manufacturers of this country? if they will but grasp then]. It will require the adjusting of financial conditions to harmonize with those existing in Russia in the matter of credits, which are quite at variance with our American methods. But what Germany has been able to do, we can do?if we try. It is a simple matter for our great manufacturing interests to send representatives to Russia and pave a way for this tremendous volume of business. It is too big a plum to be cast aside, and it is to be hoped manufacturing and financial men of affairs will be equal to the emergency. Babies Prettier Than Ever. Even in the midst of war, France finds time to rejoice over the fact that its babies born during the pa..t six months are healthier and prettier than ever before. It is a source of much pride to the republic. But pretty babies is becoming an old story in America, and no longer occasions more than passing comment. Of all the civilized people of the earth, there are no healthier babies born than those of the United States. Of all the people of the world, there are none so pretty as our American babies. And of all the pretty babies in existence, there are none to compare with the babies of our own town. Our babies are the acme of perfection and beauty. And if you doubt our simple word, just ask the mothers. Grouch Proof.
