The doctor invited him to go into the
smoking compartment for a few minutes,
where he put rubber bands on the thumb
and forefnger of each of the trainman's
hands, at the same time making firm pres

that England and France have been COM

Shall [ Buy a
Foreign Bond?
BY ALBERT w. ATWOOD

MANY readers have wanted to know
wi about foreign government bonds
since the war began, but the writer
has hesitated to discuss these investments
because of the possible element of hazard
connected with them Conditions have
been changing in recent months, and it
now seems fairly certain that American
investors can pick up bargains" among
foreign government bonds without much
chance of loss.
Expert opinion has been veering in
favor of these loans because of the inn
provement in the position of the Allies;
for, while there are German and Austrian
bonds for sale in this country, by far the
greater interest is in the various obliga-
tons of the more numerous Allies. The
writer is no military expert, but he feels
reasonably safe in assuming that the
Allies will not be badly enough defeated
to have their countries overrun by the
Germans. Such an outcome of the war
is about the only one that would lead
to the external bonds of the Allies being
repudiated.

Treating Sciatica

IN treating Sciatica, particular attention
must be given the "hip area of the hand
on the same side q. the sciatica. This
means that the paIlffar surface of the lit
tie finger and the palm of the hand on
that side, as well as the edge" of the
palm running up over the top of the
hand must be thoroughly "combed.
But the best and most rapid relief for
sciatica is usually secured by attacking =

as described for the hands: in other words,
by manipulating the zones in the feet cor
