your opinion Mrs. J. D. NJ.

speculative. National Conduit and
Cable has reported deficits now for
three years. We cannot undertake to

is depressed. this company will, like
others, show the effects of it. We make

Question: own a $1,000 bond of the
Virginia Carolina Chemical Company 6 per

99ia Would you advise selling this bond
at 81 and purchasing ten shares Of the
preferred stock OF this company at 50. or
one of the new "a per cent notes at e5 -
c. A. D.
Answer-We believe the change from
the Virginia. Carolina 6 per cent deben-
lures to the Z a per cent would be wise.
You would increase your income and
have longer term investment. Your
position would be somewhat weakened
if you purchased the preferred stock,
although we regard it Is good invest
ment.

A reduction Of 29,476 in the number
Of pending compensation and insur-
ance claims OF former service men and
women has been effeffcted during the
last three month Of the fiscal year
tnding July 1, 1921, It Is announced'by
Director C. r. Forbes of the Bureau
Of War Risk Insurance. This reduc-

final action is still to be taken has
been accomplished Notwithstanding
the fact that new claims have been

day, and that the Sc new cases receive
at once as complete action as Is posi-

SUMNER BEAUTY HINT

Hair is by far the most conspic-
uous thing about us and is probably
the most easily DANA ged by bad or
careless treatment. If we are very
careful in hair washing, we will
have virtually no hair troubles. An
especially fine shampoo for this
weather, one that brings out all the
natural beauty of the hair. that dis
solves and entirely removes all
dandruff, excess oil and dirt, can
easily be used at trfiing expense by
simply dissolving a teaspoonful of
canthrox (Which you can get at
any druggist's), in cup of hot
water. This makes a full cup of
shampoo liquid, enough so it is easy
to apply it to all the hair instead
of just the top of the head. This
chemically dissolves all impurities
and creates soothing. cooling
1ather. Rinsing leaves the scalp
spotlessly clean, soft and plant.
while the hair takes on the glossy
richness of natural color, also a
fiuffiness which makes it seem much
heavier than it is. After canthrox
shampoo, arranging the hair is a
