Answer-The price at which Read
ing common is now quoted in the mar
ket fairly represents its segregation
value in the opinion of those who have
studied the plan. There are many ele-
ments in the situation, however. which
admit OF error in this appraisal of the
stocks real worth. We have heard
estimates as high as 100, but not as
much as 200. These, of course, are
figures which should be taken with
reservation, for you may be assured
that if any great number Of persons,
either traders or insiders. were rea
sonably certain of even 100 being
reached the stock would be in greater
demand. We cannot estimate the value
Of Reading common any more accurate
iy than general market opinion has
done. We doubt whether those who
are working out the plan have any
definite idea of the stocks value. The
logical thing for You to do, in view
OF the high price that you paid for
your stock, would be to continue hold

and II there is not a material improye

enabled the company to continue nav

containing an element of speculation
that renders it unsuitable for any one
who cannot assume the attendant risk.
Great Northern Ore certificates can be
purchased in the same manner as

1921 showed that income was slightly
less than the dividend. paid. We have
been unable to find any statement on

Middle States Oil

Question: holding some shares OF
Middle States OH Corporation and Will
appreciate IL very much If you will pub
lish in your columns any information you
might have regarding this company's
earnings. nature of business etc, and
your opinion of this stock as a fairly
SAFE investment? I hear ru1nors about a
olVldend !ncrease. and your reply will. no
DOUBT show whether or not these runors
are 3ustified.-W. H. c.
Answer-The Middle States Oil Cor
poration was incorporated in 1917 as
holding company. Through stock
ownership it controls eleven companies
engaged in the production of petroleum,
and these companies~in turn control
ten others. In 1921 the corporation
earned at the rate of S407 a share
on its stock; in 1920 it earned $3.50,
and in 1919 $3.50. Owing to the nature
OF the business in which the corpora
ton is engaged and the fact that 1t
rs not a seasoned unit in the oil in
dustry, we consider the stock as hav
ing substantial element of specula-
ton. We have heard the rumor of a
dividend increase, but have no reason
Tor believing that there is any truth in
1t. The present rate Of dividend gives
a rate of return far in excess of what
is obtainable on seasoned dividend
paying stocks.

subtract the market quotation from par

number of years the bond has to run be-

COCOA AND
CACAO

~ OCOA and cacao are not the
same thing by any means.
~ The word cocoa" is a cor
ruption Of "Cacao." which is the
correct name OF the tree from
which what we call cocoa is
taken: the correct spelling is pre-
served in German, French. and
Spanish.
The Scientific American says
that the cocoanut palm (Cocos

while the tree TheObroma cacoa
gives us cocoa. This latter Is
native OF South America. but 1t
has been planted also very ex-
tensively in all parts of the

THE NEED OF
SUNSHINE
BY Brice Belden, NJ. D.

DEOPLE are like plants; keep
them in dark places and thoy
wilt and fade and show para
site infestation. Thus the rela-
tionship of lack of sunlight to tu-
berculosis is very definite.
When the weather is cold and
damp, and there is no sunshine, we
feel depressed. The rays of the
sun influence our mental condition.
and there are good physiological
reasons for this.
When the atmosphere is cold and
damp and sunless, the functions
of the skin as diminished, with a
consequent retention OF poisonous
products. When the atmosphere Is
sunny and dry, the function OF the
skin is quickened, elimination is
facilitated, and there Is a sense of
well being.
Aside from the physiological et.
fects noted, the rays OF the sun are
fatal 70 bacteria, This ls why
there arc fewer infectious diseases,
like influenza, when there In much
sunlight. The germs OF Influenza
get their chance when the days are
dull The checking of bacteria
growth is due TO the blue and ultra
violet rays OF the sun, The heat it.
self comes from the red rays.
The red cheeks of health are due
to more general effects of sun
light, which improve the cirCula.
.tion as a whole. And It has been
demonstrated that the quantity Of
the blood and its contained color
ing matter are dependent upon sun
light. Finsen and others have
shown that there is less coloring
matter and fewer red blood cells
in the blood in the winter time than
In summer.
We need direct sunshine. Glass,
for example, excludes the most val
liable rays.

SITTING AND WAITING
A FUTILE AND DEPRESSING EXPEDIENT
-----By Beatrice Fairfax---

The woman who is a producer is
bound to be happier than the one
who merely consumes other folks
product. And the busy woman
hasn't time to make herself Iniser-
able sitting and waiting for pleas
ant things to befalI her. She learns
that there is nothing pleasanter
than making things happen, Than
doing things, than earning her way
as she goes through life.
To sit eternally, waiting for n
man to telephone is bound to he a
miserable performance. For even
a loving, devoted man is almost
certain to be interested in his job
in his part of the worlds work.
And he can't make his business in
life catering to a parasite woman
who hangs about his neck demand
ing that he feed her flabby ego
with the attentions she lives upon.
Most women who feel miserable
and neglected wouldn't have time
to notice a lack of little attentions
and excitements in their lives IL
they had big jobs to keep them
thinking healthily.

Road TO Success
is THE SAME Old SIMPLE TRAIL

cunning, sooner or later, like San D.
son shorn of his locks, this mis-
guided son must pull the house
down upon his achievement ard
crush It to earth.
And. now is good time to
drive home to our boys the sim
pie but Clear-cut ideals as eX-
pressed by the doctor of medicine.
We have barely started on any
thing like a programme of moral
regeneration OF our youth. They
are becoming sobered from the
tightening of purse strings. but
the big 'issue-honesty, sympathy,
reverence and the indwelling OF
the Holy Spirit in the lives-that
ideal has not yet been sold" to
our boya
We must eternally hammer
away at the purpose. Empty
pockets, shabby clothes and per-
haps a pinch OF hunger will here
and there prevail to help the
Issue along, but the boys must
somehow be made to see Il and
feel II I'm their hearts, and then
willingly do II. The occasion is
here and we parents cannot
afford TO dodge Il.
As a merely cool calculation for
the future OF common business
and for the future security of our
great American commonwealth
we mus. din everlastingly into
the ears of our youth the pro
found meaning Of such ideals, as
honesty, industry, sympathy, per
severance, reverence, faith.
After all there is absolutely
nothing new to be said to our
boys about the way to success in
any ordinary vocation. II is the
same old simple trail blazed out
for the future OF us all by the
One who gave us alike the possi-
bilities of our strength and our
frailty. We must choose divine
inherent strength as our motto
and pass the ideal on to our
children.
