Value 81 Quick DecIsion.N

Az a rule the man who has trained
himself to quick decisions and prompt
actions follows close to the right. He
does not need to debate questions as
does the man who has become mas
ter Of elaboration. His mental facul-
ties seem to work automatically and
they are generally right. I'm not sure
but that they are more often right
than they are with the man who is
constantly weighing pros and cons and
becoming confused with the issues.
He saves time because he acts quick
~ and he saves everybody the I'M.

Pathetic Query.

The nurse had been entertaining her
patient by singing some Of his favorits
songs to him. There was one song in
particular that the little boy liked
much, and he never failed to ask his
nurse to sing 1t to hir' every time she
came into the room. She had already
sung 1t dozen times or more. that
morning. when on coming into the
room after a few minutes absence she
heard a little voice from the other end
Of the room: "Say, nurse, do you
think you have enough tone left to sing
that song again?"

TAXES DUE MARCH IS

New York. Feb. 2L-wall Street was
disappointed today when the stock
market opened quietly without mate
tial advances in the railroads. 1t was
evident that the general situation was
Vsrse than even the professional trad
sfs had thought. Such news should
have been good for s or 10-point rally
even in a bear market. but the most
that happened was a point or so in a
rev rails that some professionals were
trying to manipulate.
This disappointment resulted in
rather heavy selling of the industrials
at first and later of the rails. The
bearish influence Of this selling was
cumulative and the market became
more active the lower IL went. The
close was active and weak with the
lowest prices of the day recorded In
the last minute of trading.
Reasons for Selling.
There are several good reasons
for selling stocks, even though
there may be some good ones for
buying them. An organization of
farmers allied with union labor fur
nished another reason for selling
by petitioning the President to
withhold his signature from the
railroad bill until they could pre-
sent their reasons for a veto. The
1pill as passed is very satisfactory
to the railroad executives. They
propose to begin discharging en-
ployes at once when the properties
81 back into their hands. provided,
Of course, the bill is signed by the
President and they have full au-
thority to handle their properties.
In the midst of the rising rail-
road prices last week the general
public misunderstood the 5h per
cent guarantee" contained in the
new law. The government does not
guarantee to see that they earn
that much money; it simply agrees
that they will be permitted to earn
that much.
The only real bullish feature Of the
new law is the permission to make
combinations. There are great posi-
bilities of deals and Wall Street may
get a great deal of excitement out OF
them. This began today when St
Paul and New Haven rose sharply on
the theory that they would become
members of some other system, pre-
sumably the New York Central lines.
Both Great Northern and Southern
Pacific sulked TO lower levels.
Rally Expected.
Some market observers who have
been bearish FOR weeks and who eN-
pect materially lower prices before
the market. turns thought the railroad
biE combined with the new attitude
of the Federal Reserve Board should
have caused a rally. These things
having failed to rally the market,
these observers are much more bear
ish than ever for now they feel sure
% their ground.
~Republic Iron shocked the Street
after the close with an annual re-
port for 1919 showing that il did
not earn the dividends it paid by
some S1.241,OOO. 1t paid $3,SS2,6S7.
and earned only s2.141,196. Other
small steel companies are UNDER

Mayor Hylan of New York tried to bar a
newspaper reporter from meetings Of the mu-
nicipal board. because that reporters paper
had been hostile to the city administration.
Other reporters were not barred.
The mayor thus tried to intimidate the press.
to compel it to stop criticism Of himself and his
Official acts
Judge Fawcett Of the supreme court OF the
state overruled the mayor. In doing 80 he
delivered this opinion:
The press is the lever that moves the
world ~ no other earthly power could move
It. 1t should not be hampered while in the
lawful pursuit Of gathering news, or interfered

Joseph Weldon Bailey WAS supposed to have
retired permanently from politics after his
valedictory in the United States senate in
January, 1913 The public thought Bailey was
through. He seemed to think TO-, himself But
the frequency with which people remarked
upon Baileys complete political demise finally
got on the ex-senator's nerve. He'd show 'em.
And he has. He returned to Texas to run for
Eovernor-not that he cares = whoop about
being governor, but merely that he thought
running for governor was a. good way as any
to achieve vindication
The first primary was whirlwind. with
Bailey making his opposition to the Wilson ad-
n,inistration, to the League Of Nations. and

The present status y our knowl-
edge Of pellagra was well brought
out By . discussion Of. the subject
At the annual meeting Of the Amer
lean Medical association ct New
Orleans In April.
DR.. s. r. Roberts, Of Atlanta, be-
lieves that pellagra Is decreasing in
frequency through the south, due
perhaps, to . spread Of knowledge
concerning the cause and preTen-
ton. It seems to hs decreasing
ALSO in the severity Of its manifes-
tations. For instance, the peculiar
skin changes, formerly considered
as important a the nervous de-
preston and diarrhoea or other die
gestiye symptoms and the sore
mouth in diagnosing pellagra are
now not so often observed. DR.. w.
G. Sheddan Of Columbia, Tenn, said
that at least half the cases he has
seen showed no akin LESSONS. He
added that many persons with pei
lagra die or get weh before the dis
ease produces any skin changes
but you know what he meant.
DR.. George Dock Of st. Louis,
told Of visiting the Pellagrarium Of
Rovereto in the Austrian Tyrol. a
very large institution and to- his
surprise none Of the pellagrins un-
der treatment there had skin les
ions. The physicians there dag
nosed pellagra on the condition Of
the mucous membrane of the mouth
the appearance Of the tongue (raw
at the tip), the mental state and
general weakness Of the patient.
Although most NZevalent in the
southern part of the United States
pellagra sometimes occurs in prac.
tically every state in the Union and
in various parts of Canada. Well.
to-do people may have it as we'll as
the poor. Fat people rarely have
pellagra; practically always the
patient is thin. "Finicky" eater:
with various prejudices are suscep.
tible.
This is very good diet to follow
in prevention as we'll as cure:
Breakfast: Fresh fruit or oat
! meal with milk and butter. One OF
two eggs or fresh meat. Grits
bread, gravy. Milk or coffee or tea
Dinner: Any kind Of meat. An!
kind of bread. Vegetables, especial
ly peas or beans. Any fresh o.
green vegetable. Milk. Butter
Desserts, jellies, salads.
Supper: Bread, butter, milk
eggs or meat. Fruit. Clabber
Cheese. Gravy. Grits. Syrup
Jam. Preserves occasionally.
Probably no one who drinks a
least a pint of fresh milk dali.
would ever suffer pellagra.
