chievements.
Upon the recommendation of Gen.

Congress as a special envoy of the
United States Nto solicit further aid
from France of men, money and mu-

the most critical period in the his

STATISTICIAN BABSON DIS
CUSSES BUSINESS OUTLOOK
United States Bonds in Hands of
People, Mighty Reserve Buying
Power

Factors which make for business
prosperity were discussed by Roger
w. Babson, statistician in an address
delivered recently at luncheon of
the Advertising Club. He gave an
optimistic view of the financial condi-
ton of the courery and pointed out
that the great mass of people still
had the government bonds purchased
during the war, constituting big re-
serve of buying power. The con-
structive influence which Prohibition
exerts in promoting general prosper
ity was stressed by the speaker in
these words as reported in the New
York Herald of December 10.
Billions of dollars which hith-
erto were spent for drink now go
into the building of homes and
the buying of comforts and gen.
eral merchandise.

Governor Edwards is president OF

to the bottle of whisky which was put

read:

this bottle for it is a beverage
not at all harmful and is of the
best quality and is considered the
most popular drink that can be

CLOSES

Just prior to July l when
wartime Prohibition law went
into effect, great preparations
were made in New York City
for a looked-for increase in the
number OF drug addicts. This
increase never came. The New

story under the head, "Big

that the health departments
drug clinic will close March 6,
according to statement by DR..
Royal S. Copeland, health COM
missioner. The story continues
that less than one hundred pa
tents were at that time being
treated at the clinic and DR..
Copeland says that there are
enough vacancies in the hos
pitals to care for such patients
as need hospital care. The need
for the clinic where between six
thousand and seven thousand
patients have received treat
ment has passed, he believes.
