TRADE'S CALL.

NEED OF SETTLEMENT OF

EUROPEAN PROBLEM...

Sir Eric Geddes, president of the Federation of British Industries, speak ing at a meeting of the Bradiofd branch; of the federation last month, said:

We are emerging from the bottom of a cycle of trade depression, and a mild form of optimisan is possibly justified.

The principal cause of the cyclical flue- tuations in trade is lack of aesarate know ledge as to what the world can consuine, and much, can be done by the collation and collection of information by the great trade and industrial organisations to-en- able their members to forecast more ac- curately whate the deniand will be and what production will he In this e United States is abend of us.

First and foremost of ali incasures which can be taken for the improvement of brude and the reduction of unemploy ment in this country, I would put the settlement of the European situation. We, as a gront "exporting country, are worst hit of all by the present state of affairs in Europe.

I believe that the great problems of this country would melt. as mist melts before the sun, if a stabilised condition could Brought about in Europe,

France, was our friend and would be no worse our friend if spoken to straight. France must be told she is pursuing a policy Britain thinks unwise and which is hurting us.

I do not doubt that there is still goom for the Economy Axe" in our jullie Services, and that there is still room for reduction and curtailment of national and local expenditure. That also would belj

trade.

Oor great difficulty is that the volume of our trade in gufficient to carry the overhead charges in competition with great countries which, like the United States. are producing in volume, and we have somehow or other got to get the cost of production down if we are going to compete in the markets of the world.

In short, Solomon Isanes to-day is a ma leas grit, reduced sobriety and lessened vitality,

What we have to do to live to 100 years is to follow the example of the example of the rich and eat more fruit and salads.

"If the poorer classes." says Dr. Oldfield, would shun the lure of cheap meat and henp ten, and would live on porridge, dried fruita, oil, fresh railk, butter milk, farmety, salads, garden vegetables, fish and cheese, and onions, they would have a better chance to reach aide than the rich."

Here the worthy doctor points be way to physical salvation.

MOTHS.

Thousands of dollars' worth of Furs, Draperies, Carpets, Food, etc., are

destroyed annually by moths. The eggs are deposited directly on materials

or in the corners of closets aml trunks. Two breeds occur during the year. Eggs are deposited in "May and August, and are hatched about one month later. By using FLYOSAN it is no longer necessary to pack garments, etc., away in expensive cedar chests, to'pluce valuable furs in storage plan's, or to

pack various articles in boxes or trunks with offensive mothballs.

Clean the closets thoroughly by washing with soap and water and allow

to dry, and, after a thorough brushing, hang clothes inside, then spray FLYOSAN

freely at top and bottom and close the door quickly. Repeat the spraying twice monthly, or more often it moths are detected, and these destructive pests will be controlled.

"FLYOSAN will evaporate quickly from fabrics if they are placed in

a well-ventilated place.
