A. P.-Any stimulating treatment

chest followed up by brisk rubbing
will build up the muscular tissue and
make the skin firm; therefore, this
would either reduce or enlarge as the
case required. If there was flabbiness
of the muscles or fatty accumulation,
the fat would be absorbed and the
muscles made firm, while the skin
would also be benefited. SO you see

VOLUME INCREASE
ENCOURAGES BONDS
Most Activity Shown by For
eign and Speculative Groups,
Reports Show.

NEW YORK. March 4.-Probably
no development of this weeks bond
market brought more encourage
ment to that market than the not
able increase in the volume of buy
ing. Not since early in January has
trading in that quarter reached
such stable volume. 1t Is still
true. Of course. that by far the most
active bidding falls within the for
eign and speculative departments.
and that a large number of the
purchases are made for a turn
rather than for investment pur-
poses, but many houses believe that
bonds of this description must be
brought in closer line with the
gilt-edged issues before the latter
can again enjoy any significant ap-
probation.
Toward the weekend wider in
quiry appeared for many of the So
called gilt-edged bonds, although
buying of them was not large re-
latively, and both abe Libertys and
VictOrys turned stronger. While
actual purchases of gilt-edged is
sues did not show very much i'm
provement. there was noticeable
improvement in the position of
many good issues lying midway he
tween the speculative and strictly
gilt-edged departments. This would
seem to give evidence when taken
with the fact that the total volume
of buying Is on the increase that
the bond market is gradually but
surely pointing upward. New highs
among the high yielding issues are
made every day. among the more
active issues. although frequently
slight losses are shown among the
less active low yielding issues.
Since the markets greatest activity
of late has been within foreign and
speculative departments. the vari-
Gus numbers should be used with
caution. These index numbers or
dinarily represent the gilt-edged
bonds. in which business nowadays
is small comparatively and fire.
uuently do not include at all the
foreign or more speculative issues.
1t often happens. therefore. that
when bonds Of this description have
had a prosperous day the standard
index numbers will show decline.
