MIND POISONS AND THEIR ANTlDOTES
nv EUGENE LYMAN FISK, MD.
Fellow of New York Academy of Medicine

As for adults when we consider that the danger to
character and morals that exists in bad literature or
debased drama is so generally treated in cynical ana
fppant spirit it strange that the dangers to health
i'm such mental pabuum are completely ignored ike
wise we undertake the value Of sound literature
and PLAYS that cxhale sweetness sanity and courage IN
building up and Strengthening wabby nervous orgam-
zaton in making stronger, inner, ana more cltle'

We are fairly well protected from poisonous adulteTa-
tons in the foods eat although many years must

STOCK MARKET REVIEW
Light Volume of Trading
Prices DeCIine-Harder Money.

At the opening Of the stock market
yesterday there was considerable in
terest in the proceedings stimulated by
the expected decision in the Minnesota
rate case, which in the natural course
of events it was thought the Supreme
Court would hand down prior to It's
holiday adjournment. In addition 10
the Minnesota rate case decision 1t was
thought possible that the Supreme
Court would arrive at a conclusion IN
the Union Southern Pacific distribution
and clear the way for final arrange
ments in the segregation plan, but IN
that there was further disappointment
Prior TO the announced adjournment OF
the Supreme Court there was some ac-
tivity in the market, particularly III
Union Pacific, which had sharp ad-
vance. but which reacted soon after
ward. The general movement OF prices
was within a narrow range of huctua-
tions. with the tendency toward relaXa-
ton in most Of the transactions 1or tHe
dav, particularly during the afternoon
There was, Of course, a seasonable rea-
son for inactivity. The approach OF the
holiday festivities and the spirit Of the
Yuletide, which in some lines this year
is augmented by feeling Of good cheer
resulting from generally prosperous
conditions, detracted from the business
Of trading in securities, and, with inc
market still clouded with considerable
uncertainty, trading was only nominal
A factor in the stock market during 'He
afternoon session was the signs Oh
hardening of call money by rise IN the
rates to per cent. Also time money
displayed a disposition TO limited trahS-
actions at gradually increasing rates
When II is taken into consideration tha'
preparations must be made for the end
of the year settlements and January
disbursements, the outlook for more
than professional trading In the stock
market is not very favorable until AFTER
January /. The news OF the day was as
uninteresting as the stock market
Neither in the foreign situation nor In
local happenings did anything Of spe-
cial Importance arise to reflect favor
able or adverse movements. The VOL
ume Of trading was light, approximat-
ing 27j.OO0 shares. fully one-third Of
which were recorded during the first
hours trading. The losses, which were
shown in most Of the rails and indus
trials, ranged from fractions 10 points.
