WHO WILL HOLD THE BAG?

The public, which is assumed to be responsible in
experts dispute to how far the Federal Reserve
Board will go in checking brokers' loans and as to
what influence its warning and actions may have on
the prices Of securities. But it should not ignore cer-
tain considerations in which all reasonably conservative
commentators on the market agree.
One is that in the to make money in Wall Street
potential yield Of securities has been largely lost sight
OF. They purchased at any price, regardless of
earnings, in the expectation that they be sold at
still higher figures 1t does not require financial
wizard to comprehend that there must be an end to
such process, and that in figuring out when the end
is to come the public is playing game in which the
most expert often go broke Cheap money will return
again, but many stocks selling at figures which no
money rate likely to prevail would justify. Somebody
will be left to hold the bag and if experience is worth
anything there is not much doubt who will be permitted
to enjoy the role.
Indications Of danger in the present situation NAV
be seen, contend in the arbitrarily high dis
count rates. That the Federal Reserve Board strongly
feels the necessity of putting is shown by
the fact that it is encouraging high rates when the
United States treasury is engaged in refunding opcr-
ations that cannot be pleasing to Secretary
Mellon
The common-sense course for people who have No
business in speculation is to heed the warnings and let
the markets alone. Wall Street is paved with broken
glass for tender feet.

Safety in flight will always be largely dependent on

THE WALL STREET WHIRLPOOL.

Still the stock market goes gyrating upward. Old
records fall almost daily but the swing is unchecked
Wall Street. in all its history anything like
the orgy of buying that it has witnessed in the last
week so.
1t would take the seventh son of a seventh son t,
tell just what the upshot will be. Some financial
experts arc gloomy and predict fearful "mornng
after for the notdistant future Others seem to be
just as confident that the upward movement simply
reflects the unusual health and vgor Of industrial
life The man in the street may be pardoned for q
failure to know what it is all about.
However, one thing is certain: Wall Street. upward
movement or no upward movement, is a place for
experts only Don't let dreams Of sudden wealth lead
you to drop savings into the whirlpool For every
man that makes fortune in the current bull market
there are who lose heavily. Wall Street is an
excellent place for the amateur to avoid.

ERAs1NG THE CROwsrEEr

In this age everyone desires to be
young and beautiful and the first
appearance Of wrinkles causes much
distress. While Ill Of US desire to
live q long life, no one desires to
look old. Formerly, when woman
reached the age Of Is or SO, she took
it for granted that she was old, but
now women are learning to take
better care of themselves, and it is
not unusual to see grandmothers,
who are active, graceful, and pleas
ing to look at.
It is not possible for us to live
| forever in the springtime of life, but
it is possible for us to live so that
we will enjoy life and avoid many
infirmities and disabilities usually
associated with old age.
We will know that i'll health and
worry may make young person
look old, and that health and happi-
ness will make an old person appear
young. 1t is undoubtedly true that
the unwholesome habits will enable
one to enjoy life for many years be-
yond the average span. Even the
appearance of wrinkles on the skin
can largely be prevented by the cul-
tivation of proper habits of life and
care Of the skin.
Wrinkles grow because of regular
creases formed by the skin folding
in a certain way and thereby shut
ting off the local blood supply. With
the advancing years the blood does
not seem to be as nourishing to the
skin as in youth, nor does it remove
the toxins formed by the tissues as
rapidly as formerly.
Patients who have undergone re-
ducing diets frequently complain
that the skin hangs loose after the
fat has disappered from their double
or triple chins. This is because the
skin. which was stretched to cover
the fatty deposits, can not shrink or
reduce as rapidly as the fatty tis-
sues and consequently hangs in folds
when it's padding is no longer pres
ent.
The principal causes of wrinkles
! seem to be first, toxic deposits under
the skin which actually poison the
skin structures; secondly, q lack Of
nourishing elements in the blood;
thirdly a defective circulation. BY
noting these reasons we can easily
devise treatment which will bene-
fit practically every skin in which
the wrinkles have not existed for
too long time.
At the very start it is necessary to
first cleanse the blood of all accum-
ulated impurities which may be
clogging the circulation or poisoning
the tissues. Nothing is as effective

NATURES WAY

Despite the fact that this is age of mechanical in
ventions the age-old forces of nature can still be
enlisted to advantage in doing the work of the world
The Biological Survey and the Bureau of Plant In
dustry Of the U. S. Department of Agriculture have
been experimenting methods of helping farmers
rid their orchards of destructive grubs and insects
and one OF the best ways has been found to be the en-
listing Of an army Of insect-eating birds.
Careful researches have shown the investigators what
birds are orchards best protectors Now they arr
studying methods of breeding that will enable farme,
to maintain these birds on his land.
Odd, isn't it? We machinery for more varietie.

admiringly. Her unexpected op-

QUESTIONS AND ANSW ERS
Itching Ear

Question: A. +. asks: "What is
the cause of the inside of the ear
becoming so itchy and dry and scaly.
with hardening of the wax? There
is no discomfort otherwise"
Answer: You may have eczema
in your ear. If this is not the case
you can doubtless get over your
trouble by putting some olive oil
in your ears each night for "a week,
wiping it out each morning with
clean cloth. This will soften the
wax and help to restore a normal
healthy condition of the ear men,
branes.
White Patches on Skin
Question: Mrs. M. r. l.. writes:
II have light colored patch that
has recently come on my eyelid, also
a slight one under my eye. Is this
serious? What is the cause, and
could you advise me what to do?"
Answer: Your trouble may be
vitiligo which is disease due to the
destruction of the coloring pigment
in the skin. This comes from
systematic acidosis and further
trouble can be prevented through
dietitic measures which would cor
rect the lack of the normal alkalin-
ity Of the blood. My article called
"A Cleansing Diet" would be good
for you, and l will be glad to for
ward it upon receipt Of large self
addressed stamped envelope.
Should One Fast If Thin?
Question: Alice j. asks: "Is it
all right for thin person to fast ?"
Answer: l always advise thin
patients to fast for few days before
starting on any diet for gaining
weight. 1t is true their weight is
reduced during the fast, but after
the system is cleansed by this treat
ment they win then gain back all
the weight they have lost and as
much more as their body requires
for perfect health.

what he said. He isn't going to
take me-"
Eyes. I heard It." Dan replied,
''but I know that Alester often says
things In temper that he does not
mean. I'd advise you to prepare
for the trip just the same"
I'LL not" Jerry delighted him by
saying. mo one can dictate to
me-"

Jerry wondered why he brought
up Leontine's name. But Dan could
not say any more. He hoped she
would guess that Alester's mother
had not figured In his plans for the
evening as he had said and that II
was Leontine who had enticed him

Dan was puzzled to know why
