Would WWeaken PRINCIPAL

Question-May / ask you to kindly give
me your valuable advice in my investment
problem? I have about $3.50 invested in
war savings stamps, which, on maturity
(1923), will be worth $1,000. Would you
consider it wise to convert my holdings to
some bond or short term investment yielding
higher interest rate? l am thinking Of
American Telephone and Telegraph short
term notes due 1922 and yielding 7.9%, or
Goodrich Rubber 10 gold bonds, due 1925
and yielding 7.4co. I do not fear the charge
of being unpatriotic in selling my war saw
ings stamps. for did my bit in the A. E. F.
and hold Liberty bonds.--S. S. R.
Answer-We do not consider either
American Telephone notes or Goodrich
notes as we'll secured as war savings
stamps. To be sure, the interest on the
latter is discounted at the rate of only
40 per annum, yet they are an obliga-
ton of the United States government
By making the change you suggest
the position of your principal would
be weakened in order to obtain a high
er interest yield, and the difference in
income on the sum mentioned would
not be sufficient, we believe, to war
rant you in so doing.

American smelters Preferred

Question: own, at 1o5. fifty shares of
American Smeters 10 preferred. At the
time bought them Moody rated them "A"
and such men as Byron w. Holt and other
authorities rated it rs q safe investment. I
understand that in 1919 only about half of
the common dividend was earned. and that
the surplus was drawn upon for the bal
ance: does this condition impair the stand
ing of the preferred seriously and account
for the present price OF about 95? Your
opinion will determine my selling adding
to my holdings of this stock. Also please
give me your opinion Of Kennecott, Of which
l have 100 shares at A. Would also like
your opinion on Norfolk & Western so con-
vertible bonds at about 500. Have these
bonds speculative value which will make
them a better investment than the several
10 preferred stocks you recommended in
the issue Of April "A. D. M.
Answer-The heaviness of American
Smelling preferred stock is due to the
However, the surplus is ample, and
with the outlook much improved for
corporations of this character we do
not believe that the dividend on Ameri-
can Smelters preferred is in jeopardy,
Kennecott Copper is in much the same
position as most other copper COM
panies. Earnings have been poor. but
there appears to be an increased de-
mand for the metal. and, speculative
ly, Kennecott Copper should be in a
better position than for some time past.
Norfolk g. Western in normal times is a
good Garner. Recently it has not done
so we'll. 1t is our opinion, however,
that this road will be able to maintain
itself az it has done in the past. The
convertible bonds are speculative in
that much depends upon the success Of
the road under the new legislation.
They appear to US to have greater
speculative possibilities than the pre-
ferrcd stocks we mentioned, although
at present tho earning power of the
road is not so good as any Of the com :
panies whose preferred stocks were
recommended.

1ndustrials Remain
Feature on Curb:
White Oil Gains
Heavy Trading in British
American Tobacco; Irreg-
ular Changes in General
List; Carbon Steel Drops

Although trading on the Curb market
yesterday was marked by a continued
apathy in petroleum issues, White OIL
was an exception, and this stock, on
the basis of the companys favorable
report, advanced fractionally over
Tuesdays close. Industrials were
again prominent, but sugar issues
failed to hold their strength.
Cuban-Amcrican Sugar sold up to So,
slightly under it's highest mark Of the
upward movement, but declined to 6011
at the close, the same as Tuesday
British Tobacco featured the
ilndustrials with heavy trading, advanc-
ing to 22h. 1t closed at 81 a, fraction
ally under Tuesdays mark. American
Safety Razor was in demand, moving
up to 11Ss, on the expectation, which
proved we'll founded, that it would be
listed on the big board. Carbon Steel
advanced - points over Tuesdays close
to 130, but slid back to 1870. Singer
Manufacturing exhibited early strength,
but declined to 1873 at the close.
White Oil featured activities in the
petroleum group. Simms was weak,
closing at 26. Texas company ranged
from SO to SO r. Midwest Refining was

Manitoba Bonds

Question-Would you advise a small in
vestor to put $500 in Manitoba bonds? They
are now selling at 9484. were few days
ago. Or would you favor Northern Pacific
stock or Union Pacific stock?-H. M Y.
Answer-The bonds of the Province
Of Manitoba appear to US to offer very
fair investment opportunities. Rail
road common shares are largely specu-
lative at this time, due to the uncer-
tainty as to the results of future op-
erations. Union Pacific has managed
to operate rather successfully during
government control, and, although
Northern Pacific did not do so we'll, it
managed to about earn its 7% on the
stock. For your purposes, however,
the bonds appear more suitable at the
moment.

Anglo American Oil

Question: own twenty-five shares Of
Anglo-American Oil stock. Could you tell
me about the future of the stock and what
dividends it has paid ?-S. M.
Answer-Anglo-Am American Oil is the
largest distributor of petroleum in the
United Kingdom. The company pays
at the rate of 30go per annum, equal to
about $1.421s a share. Recent earnings
are ample to care for these dividends.
The stock Is speculative, and for us to
attempt to forecast its future is out Of
the question.

question: have a little money to in

VIII you be kind enough to give me your
opinion as to the desrabilty of an invest
ment in Interborough Rapid Transit gold

Answer-The condition of the Inter

sucn as to warrant the bonds being
gwen good investment rating ut this
time. Ihe company is having consider
able difficulty in adjusting its affairs
win the city. Until there is great i'm
proVemcnt in this respect the bonds
must be considered as speculative.
such securities as the new Pennsyl-
vanla Railroad 10 bonds, 1890, and the
new issue of New York Central equip
ments yielding 10 offer good invest
mcnt opportunities, in our opinion.
Not Entitled to High Rating
Question-A friend Of mine has ten shares
OF Minneapolis. ST. Paul & sault Ste. Marie
preferred stock. Do you regard 1t as a good
investment?--A. L. B.
Answer-Under present conditions.
Minneapolis, st. Paul & Sault Ste. Marie
preferred is not entitled to high in
vestment rating. Nevertheless, most Of
the railroads Of the country have, for
the last two years, operated under
such handicap that perhaps it is not
just to judge a stock by results during
this period. Nevertheless, such pre-
ferred stocks rs Atchison and Union
Pacific are still entitled to good rat
ings, for both roads showed ample mar
gin of safety for their senior stock is
sues during this period. SO much de-
pends upon earnings, after the new law
becomes operative, that most issues of
railroad stocks should, we believe, in
the mean time be considered specula-
tive in a greater or less degree.

Matty failed with the Cincinnati

However, 1t seemed that Matty

When Johnny Evers, tie fiery Tro-

The Troublesome Teeth.

The permanent teeth, 81 In NUMBER
appear between the ages OF SIX years
to twenty-five years, more or less. Tne
last to be cut are the wisdom teeth,
in about Al per cent Of adults, one or
all four may never develop. An ul'
cerated tooth is an abscess at the roof
of the tooth. It Is caused by neglect
Of a decayed tooth. When the cavity
extends too near the nerve In the cen
ter of the tooth, the nerve becomes In
famed and toothache is the result.
Thus the nerve and the decayed mate
rial in the pulp cavity causes an ao-
scess at the tip of the root in the Jaw
bone. This may produce a gumboil or
break through on the face, causing a
scar. 1t may produce serious results
as damage Of jaw bone, blood poison
ing, anemla, kidney trouble, heart
trouble, rheumatism or other troubles
depending upon the part Of the body
affected by the poison absorbed.
