Miss Mathews, Holder of
Richest Plum for Women,
Discusses Dress and
Morals

NEW YORK, Nov 26.-Therell be no
regulation of skirt lengths, no ban on
bare knees, no cutlery against the bobbing
of tresses or the parking of corsets by
her employees when Miss Annie Mathews
takes over on. Jan. / the Office to which
she has just been elected as register of
the county of New York-the richest po-
htical plum that has ever fallen into the
lap of a woman,i in New York, if not in the
entire United States.
Not that the 12,000-a-year register
elect hasn't very decided ideas on clothes
and all the allied arts so precious to
women. Indeed, she has spent the greater
part of her 4O-odd years studying the
clothes problem, first as dressmaker, then
a designer, and finally as an importing
m0diste.
Opposed to All Prohibition.
But she has even more decided ideas
on the question of personal liberty.

No More Gas LII
Stomach andBOWels

If you wish to be permanently relieved
of gas in the stomach and bowels, take
Baalmann's Gas-Tablets.
Baalmanns Gas-Tablets are prepared
distinctly for stomach gas, and for all the
bad effects coming from gas pressure.
That empty and gnawing feeling at pit
of your stomach disappears, that anxious,
nervous feeling with heart palpitation will
vanish, and you will again be able to take
a deep breath often prevented by gas
pressing against your heart and lungs.
Your limbs, arms and fingers won't feel
cold and go to sleep because Baalmann's
Gas-Tablets prevent gas interfering with
the circulation; drowsiness, sleepy feeling
after dinner viii be replaced by a desire
for some form of entertainment. Your
distended stomach will reduce because gas
will not form after using Baalmann's
Gas-Tablets.

Ideal for Business
and Family

1t is light and compact. Business
and professional men will appre-
ciate its ease of driving and econ
omy cooperation. It's also amply
large TO meet the family need in
both city and country service.
In the city it is ideal for shopping
and in making calls where a car
easy to handle, easy to turn and
easy to park is important.
Women admire it for those quail
tiles as well as for its beauty and
the high standard of its comfort
and fittings.

Borrowing for Investment

Question-Durins the war I inherited
$4,000. which with 5000 Of my savings 7
invested in Liberty bonds a par. now
wish TO use about this sum OF money to
bulld ssashore cottage. Would you st :
wise me TO sell these honds at loss or
borrow on them as collateral? aT1 a
school teacher. and IL addition to my
salary I have small income from both
OF winch sources am bic to save about
St,puV year. Thus, unless my health
should fail, | could pay off the Indebted
ness in a few years I notice you advise
AGAINST borrowing money to invest and my
ssashore' cottage proposition Is in the ma
ture Of an investment. Most OF my Liber.
ties are seconds, though have few OF
all other issues.-E D.
Answer-There is a somewhat differ
ent problem involved in your inquiry
from that of the usual inquiry in re-
gard to borrowing on bonds in order to
buy more bonds. The price of your
house does not fuctuate. In other
words, you are not pyramiding your
investment IN the same sense that you
would be were you to borrow on your
Liberties to buy bonds whose market
price fuctua.es widely On the other
hand, wouldn't you save in interest
charges If YOU should sell your Liber-
ties rather than borrow on them? On
your second IS, for instance, you are
getting only weld if held to maturity
OF 4.90 per cent. Won't you have 10
pay higher interest rate than that if
You borrow money with these bonds as
collateral?
