QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
No Fool Like an Old Fool.

am past so and have decided to
begin smoking cigarets, one after
each meal. What harm, if any,
threatens from this indulgence?
MRS. S. T. L.
Answer-Are you going to roll
our socks, too? For heavens sake,
madame, find something sensible to
occupy your idle moments.
Polluted Atmosphere.
Is it harmful to work in place
where everybody smokes nearly all
the time? H. W.
Answer-Yes.
Mineral Water.
Is veronica or pluto better for
the bowels than pills. What is the
most harmless physic? A. ". F.
Answer - All so-called mineral
waters of the "aperient" class are
mere solutions of salts, either Ep-
som. Glauber's or Rochelle sal S
natural in the water or added to
''fortify" the water when bottled
1t is certainly injurious to use salts
frequently or habitually merely to
excite peristalsis. Plain water, from
pint to a quart, taken on rising
6dCH HIuTHlHS, is peIHdp the HIoSL
nearly harmless habitual physic.
Elderly persons perhaps should
take it hot, and there is no objec-
ton to adding a bit of salt if plain
water cannot be taken.
Tuberculosis.
Is person likely to get tubercu-
losis by just eating his meals in
place where a patient lived who
has now gone to a sanitorium?
W. S. R.
Answer Not unless someone
having tuberculosis handles the
food or prepares the meals or 9TH
erwise comes into frequent contact
with the boardeT.

Please describe the symptoms of
high blood pressure, and give brief
directions for treatment, how to
cure it without medicine.
MRS. r. S. P.
Answer-Therc are no symptoms.

successful treatment of most of the
disease conditions in which blood
pressure is high.

TEXTILE MEDIATORS
HAVE PERPLEXING TASK
Deal With TWo Labor Bodies
in Rhode Island.

PAwTUcXEr, Feb. 19.--Mediators who
are trying to settle the textile strike in
Rhode Island are confronted with varl-
Gus perplexities. In the first place, they
find 1t necessary to treat with two dis
t,nct labor bodies. In Pawtucket and
the rest of the Blackstone Valley the
strike is being conducted by the United
Textile Workers OF America. In the
Pawtuxet Valley it is in charge of the
Amalgamated Textile Workers.
The two strike areas are on opposite
sides OF the city OF Providence. So when
tho State Mediation Board held its first
meeting OH Saturday, it was found
necessary TO have representatives pre-
sent from the manufacturers of each
valley and from each union.
Tie problems of the two valleys also
differ in some respects. In the Black
stone Valley many mills are still run
Ming. At these plants there has been no
reduction OF wages or lengthening Of
working hourr. OF the mills at which
the wage and hour changes have been
put into effect. some are shut down be-
cause Of the strike and others are run
ming In part with reduced forces. All OF
the PawtuXet Valley mills are affected
by the strike.

TRENTON, Feb. 19.-Prohibition en-
forcement. reorganization of the Ma
.ional Guard, proposed repeal OF the ex-
cess crew law and wiping out OF the
present bridge and tunnel commission

The excess crew repeater, introduced
by Senator Allen of Salem. has been
made the special order of business in
the Senate for go tomorrow night

close.
The Evans bill, ousting the present
members OF the bridge and tunnel COM
Alssion and appointing five new com
fissloners. is scheduled for considera-
1ion by the joint Republican conference
committee tomorrow. The bill will un-
doubtedly be reported In the House. but
its passage is uncertain. as considerable
ssposition has been developed.
Action by the House on the series of
fohibtion bills drafted by Mr.. Hobart

ent week. Opposition of the wet"
forces will not prevent enactment OF
enforcement legislation, though IL may
serve to kill some drastic provisions.

FLOTATION OF NEW
BONDS UNCHECKED
Marketing of Recent Issues on
Large Scale, but Smaller
Than Last Week.

A steady movement OF new capital
into investment securities continued last
week and there were no indications OF
Its abrupt halt. Undoubtedly the bond
market continued to feel the impetus OF
the highly successful Government short
term financing, refunding operations in
the Victory notes and quick sale OF
a large block OF Land Bank bonds.
The flotation OF new bonds was again
on good sized scale altf ouSh smaller
than 1t was in the preceding week
There were no very large new issues,
but several small and moderate sized
ones which totaled in the aggregate
about $40000,00o. The four most inn
portant offerings OF the week. in point
OF size, were SIC. 2s4, 200 of the Baltimore

The break away from the per cent.
coupon probably will induce many con-
Germs in need of capital. but who have
been unwilling to borrow at such a cost,
10 seek accommodation. 1t seems to be
fairly generally conceded that not later
than the early part Of 1923 consider
able business revival will appear and
many concerns which have not been
overexpanded will need capital to meet
the new demand.
Bond transactions on the New York
Stock Exchange were lighter, but the
rise in prices continued. Those advances
We're helped toward the latter part or the
week by the change in the Bank or Eng
lands rate, which was lowered to A ~
per cent. placing it on par with the
rediscount rate Of the New York Federai
Reserve Bank. Predictions were made
early in the week that the latter's rate
would be reduced on Wednesday, but no
change in 1t was made. If the redis-
count. rate i'm New York should be cut
it would furnish fresh incentive to pur-
chase fixed income securities.
The local money market gave OBJ
servers much food for reflection. Can
funds were in ample suppiy and their
rate was less than that OF the preceding
week, but, on the other hand, time money
was not offered freely, although per
cent was bid for IT, 1t seemed to be
the prevailing opinion that the discus
sion OF IL soldiers bonus might have af-
fected the money market, but its author
tiles stated that that discussion had not
reached the stage in which it would be
factor. p
IL the money market continues TO
cheaper il is thought that great deal
of domestic financing will materialize,
hut If, however, the market shall show
u tendency to harden, much OF that
business may be held over. Probably
