Relaxing the Muscles
Helen had a bad habit OF holding
her hands very tensely, rejecting
the nervous tension or her mind. We
had her make il a point to relax
her arms several times a day.
The physical care Of the hands
and arms requires first. of course,
absolute cleanliness. Since soaps
contain alkalls that are injurious to
the skin and since one must wash
frequently, it is we'll always to have
about bottle of hand lotion that
may be applied when the hands are
dried, TO oountenact the drying
effects of the soap.
Every night before retiring. rub
into the hands and arms a rich
cream, massaglng from the tip of
the fingers 10 the knckles, then
from the kDuckles TO the wrists with
firm. circling motion. then mas
saying up 10 the elbows and the
shoulders. This relieves the conges-
tion in the veins which is responsible
for redness.
Then apply a second coat of cream
to the hands, and draw on a pair of
chamois gloves to be worn during
the nght.
The habit OF resting on her ell |
bows had caused a discoloration on
Helen's which was very ugly. We
removed the dark stain with lemon
juice. and masssged her elbows with |
a nourishing cream 10 build up the |
Tissues.
AT first Helen went through her
exercises merely because they were
part OF her routine. but later she
enjoyed them, and as you will see
by her picture really got pleasure
from them.

Once man advertises his goods in

PRICE LEvELLINC

The prices Of the foodstuffs thai
the farmers produce dropped 70 Z
point where the farmer got only about
IL per cent more for them than he did
in 1914. Some Of them have advanced
. little since the low records. But the
farmer cannot get more than Is to 70
per cent on an average above pre-War
prices today.
Meanwhile factory prices. the cost
Of building and labor, remain at 80 to
% per cent above pre-war figures.
The result il clear. The fsrmers and
an country people whose living DE-
Dends on farm prosperity. cannot buy
these factory products rs they did for.
nsrly. They do buy more than peo-
PIE realize, and there il all the time
! fair amount Of trade going on. But
they can't buy enough to keep the fac
tories running at full speed, until the
prices are levelled. Either the factory
goods must come down in price, OF
farm prices must go up.
The movement for cooperative
marketing of foodstuffs is helping q
lot to this end, by giving the farmers
. larger part Of the price the consum-
ers pay. Farmers should be urged
with the utmost emphasis to help on
the movement for cooperative mar.

THEN HE LEFT TOWN

Once every so often story goes
around among newspapers as to why
the editor left town. Here it is for
those who haven't heard it:
Someone sent the editor of GER
tain newspaper a few bottle of home
brew. The same day he received for
publication q wedding notice and an
auction sale ad. Here's how it came
out in the paper. civilian Smith and
Miss Lucy Anderson were disposed of
at public auction at my farm one mile
east of town. She wore a beautiful
cluster of roses on her breast and two
white calves, before background of
farm implements too numerous to
mention in the presence of about sew
enty guests, including two mich cows,
six mules and one bob sled. Rever-
end Jackson tied the nuptial knot with
200 feet Of hay rope and the bridal
couple left on one good John Deere
gang plow for an extended trip with
terms to suit purchaser. They will be
at home to their friends with one good
baby buggy almost new and few
kitchen utensils after ten months
from date of sale to responsible par
ties and fifty chickens.

A TINE FOR ENTERPRISE

Some Of the citizens Of Julesburg il
asked to take hold Of q business prop.
osition about now, would say that this
is not 4 favorable time. They would
point to this or that unpromisine con.
dition, and say they would wait until
the business situation clears up. But
by the time they were satisfied with
the outlook. the opportunity would no
doubt have passed, and they would be
drilling along in the same old routine
There never was a time yet in the
history Of business, from the time the
first cave man began to swap stone
axes for bear traps, when there were
not q good many unfavorable condi-
tions. Business is always a complex
of contending forces. There are al
ways some Of these forces that are
contrary and threaten to make trou-
BILE. The people who wait until all the
business skies are clear will wait all
their lives.
Folks who are ambitious and rea-
sonably courageous. dig beneath the
surface and see if the main conditions
are favorable. At the present time
they can see that this country has a
good currency system, there is an
abundant supply Of loanable capital
and there is no overstock Of goods
These three of the most basic factors
are wholly favorable, and they out
weigh other unfavorable factors that
could be mentioned.
When you find these great factors
encouraging business expansion, it al
most invariably happens that bust
ness revival takes place. There is
nothing that can thwart it. The coun-
try has been consuming faster than it
has been producing.
Inevitably one of these days. mer-
chants all over the country will wake
up and discover that their stocks are
low, and all at once they will begin
to send orders into the factories. and
before you know it, business will be
humming. Those who took advantage
Of opportunities when they were Of
fered, will be the ones who will reap
the cream of the profits.
The Julesburg grit-advocate., 1922-02-23

chandise, on the ground that . con-
siderable advance in commodity prices
is inevitable. Yet the price level is
still far above 1914, and it hardly
seems likely that it can be held up to
that scale permanently.
1t il foolish for the public to look
for any such fall in prices ~ occur
red between the summer Of 1920 and
the summer of 1921. That drop let
the wind out Of big gas bag. Prices
had become inflated far beyond rea-
son, by the fact that producers could
not make stuff fast enough to satisfy
the public in that period Of extrava-
gance. Merchants felt that they must
order far beyond their needs, or they
would not get the goods. With busi-
ness 20 very easy to get, it was na-
tural for producers to ask prices much
greater than they really needed. When
this abnormal demand stopped. then
prices naturally shrank to = large ex-
tent. but they have now apparently
reached nearer stabilized level.
It seems unlikely that food prices
will drop farther at present The far
mers are getting but little more than
they received in 1914. There is little
indication Of an increased demand for
foodstuffs from Europe, but farmers
can add to their receipts by restrict
ing output on staples Of which there il
an over supply, and producing some
thing else. It seems likely for in
stance, that this year much less corn
will be Offered to the market, and

limited.
A slow decline in prices of factory
products seems probable, as freight
rates and production costs Rradusllv
come off. But it will not be any con-
siderable percentage in any one sea-
son. Enterprising people can 70
ahead with confidence that they can
make money if they turn their capital
promptly.
