sistent with your policy Of making no ad-
vices @ on speculation. would you advise me
1 can conveniently do?-L. H. G.
Answer-Earnings Of the Butterick
Company in 1921 were the largest in
several years. This was partly ex-
planned by the greatly increased bust
ness in patterns which followed a wave
of popularity in home dressmaking.
The sudden improvement led to the
expectation of resumption of divi-
dends and consequently speculative
buying of the stock. When the favorable
action failed to materialize there fol-
lowed profit taking by those who had
bought for rise, and consequently
drop in prices. Although statement
of earnings has not been issued since
the annual statement of the year ended
December 81, 1921, it is generally un-
derstood that the pattern business has
not been so active since prices Of man
ufactured goods have declined to the
point where home dressmaking is less
profitable There is no bond issue out
standing, but there is a mortgage of
$771, 900. The Butterick Company has
only one class of stock, 10000 shares
Of S10O par value being authorized.
Of this amount 146,421 shares are out
standing. There is an issue of 100000
Butterick Publishing Company pre-
ferred on which dividends have been
paid. You readily understand why we
cannot attempt to offer suggestions on
take your loss now or hold for the
long pull in anticipation of recovery
in price. You say you can conveniently
hold the stock without expectation Of
income, and we see no reason why you
should not do so, bearing in mind that
it is hardly reasonable to suppose that
there will be recovery until the pros
pect of dividends becomes brighter.

Some requirements Suggested

Question-wil you please criticize for
me the following list OF securities as to
diversification, safety and marketability
Bonds: $500 New York Central debenture
6s. 1895; 5000 Northern Pacific 6s, 2O47
$1,000 Pacific Gas and Electric of Arizona
first Gs, 1891; $500 Northwest Bell Tele-
phone Is, 1s41; $500 New England Oil Re
fning Company S. 1881. Stocks shares
Pere Marquette prior preferred; 10 shares
Electric Storage Battery common; 10
shares Cities Service preferred; shares
Southern California Edison common: IL
shares American Ice preferred-H. C. ].
Answer-You have diversifcation that
is desirable, but if you should dispose
of Electric Storage Battery, Southern
California Edison and Cities Service
preferred, replacing with five shares
each of Atcnison preferred and Amer
lean Can preferred, greater degree of
safety would be secured. Common
stocks often upset investing judgment.
Cities Service preferred is not as de-
sirable as the stocks suggested.
New-York tribune., 1922-08-07
Bethlehem Steel Preferred

Question-What Is your opinion of
bethlehem Steel per cent preferred fdr a
business mans investment? Is the per
cent preferred safe as the s per cent
ent and s per cent cumulative? In what
1oes the preference consist? ?--J. II. P.
Answer: Either Bethlehem Steel 7
per cent or 8 per cent preferred stock
is suitable for investment purposes.
The 8 per cent issue is preferred as to
cumulative dividends over both the 7
per cent preferred and the common.
Dividends on the per cent stock are
not cumulative. 1t shares paripassu
with the Z per cent class in any distri-
button of assets, both of which receive
preference over the common.

LET WELL ENOUGH ALONE.

Let well enough alone is maxim which, is
credited as having originated with the cautious Scotch
people but in form other it has since been
adopted by every other people Experiments are all
well enough if there is security that their cost will
net be prohbitive or they will result in nothing
DANGEROUS but to adopt an experiment in place of
something tried and true, something that has proven
its worth is not the part of wisdom.
In the present race for Territorial Senator in this
division there is occasion for the voters to follow out
this bit of sage advice the value which has been
proven by ages of experience. The times demand in
the Territorial Legislature leaders and lawmakers of
proven caliber whose worth has been established

support the record of his past service That record

represented but the Territory large He has
not been a mere partisan politician in his official

| No man or woman who eats too

flushing the kidneys occasionally,

meat eating may develop uric acid,
which excites the Kidneys; they be-
come Overworked from the strain,
get sluggish and fail to filter the
waste and poisons from the blood;
then we get sick. Rheumatism,
headaches, liver trouble, nervous
ness, dizziness, sleepiness and urin-
airy disorders often come from slug
gish kidneys.
The moment you feel a dull ache
in the kidneys, or your back hurts,
or if the urine is cloudy, offensive,
full of sediment, irregular of passage
or attended by a sensation of scald-
ing, stop eating meat and get about
four ounces of Jad Salts from any
pharmacy; take a tablespoonful in
glass of water before breakfast, and
in few days your kidneys may act
fine This famous salts is made
from the acid OF grapes and lemon
juice, combined with lithia, and has
been used for generations to flush and
stimulate the kidneys; also to neu-
tralize the acids in urine SO it no
longer causes irritation, thus often
ending bladder weakness.
