"While I was, entering into wo-
manhood I became rundown in
health. said Mrs. Anilabel1e Bork
of 1928 Lacrosse St, Detroit, whose
picture appears above. Il grew very
fast but was backward in develop
ing. I became nervous and weak,
had no strength or ambition, felt
fagged-out all the time. My mo-
Their gave me DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription and it just gave me a
new lease on life. I grew strong
and well, developed into woman
hood along natural lines and grew
up to be strong, healthy woman.
If mothers would only give Favor
tie Prescription to their daughters
there would be fewer weak women.
Your health is your most valuable
asset. So, why not get this Pres
cription today from your druggist,

RADIO MARKET REPORT
TERMS ARE EXPLAINED

Terms generally used IN market
reports are explained by the state
department of markets as follows:
Active Conditions of quick sale,
good demand and a gen orally healthy
condition. There may be no decided
change in prices; indicates an upward
trend.
Firm-Confidence in general con-
ditions, strengthening Of a price
range, but seldom in actual advance.
straightforward movement with
steady, consistent trading showing
no decided change.
misunderstanding on the
part of sellers and usually indicates
weaker tendency. There may be
no actual price change, waiting at
titude with spasmodic trading.
Weak-Actual price decline with
the possibility of further decline and
represents a decided lack of conf
dence on the part of the seller. 1t
may also be used when no actual
price declines have taken place, but
with large supplies on hand and
heavy supplies in sight.
Market Weaker-A comparative
term and refers back to conditions of
the previous day. 1t may represent
an actual decline in price; less con-
fdence exists.
Besides the above terms others are
used such as market excited" an
certain and bullish tendency on the
part of seller; market dull" when
points to light trading; market de-
moralized," used in unusual eases,
because of Oppressive conditions,
usually resulting from over supply or
products of highly inferior quality,
the demand is almost wholly absent
and the market shows no stability
A wide range of prices results from
the willingness Of sellers to dispose
of their stock at almost any price
offered.

Lightning and Radio

The bureau of standards states that
a radio antenna, If grounded, or pro-
vided with a lightning arrester, has
some of the properties of a lightning
rod, but, as commonly installed, has
these properties in such limited de-
grees that it is not to be regarded as
effective protection against lightning,
On the other hand, on account of its
relatively small size, it does not APP
preciably increase the possibility of a
direct stroke. A modern lightning rod
system, however, is designed and in
stalled with view of protecting
against direct strokes, and when this is
properly done, high degree of protec-
ton is obtained. Many lightning rods
in actual use are not properly installed,
and it is to these that isolated cases
Of damage to rodded buildings are
usually traced.
