not undertake to advise its pur-
chase. The stock is keenly sensitive

think IL L. q pretty good thing to
steer clear of NJ the present time.

possible unitarian service to our
readers and when the occasion pre-
Sc nts itself we like to offer con-
structive counsel We are going to
assume that You have certain
amount of money to invest. There
fore why not put ii into something
that is sure to bring you good
income and Is reasonably sure to
cause you no loss? OF course such
a stock or bond as we have in mind
is pretty sure to bring you no APP
preciable speculative gain. But what
of it? Play along the line Of con-
servatisn. Play safe. Why not buy
