The End of the Depression

A definite pickup in American business this fall is pre-
dicted by Roger Babson. famous satistician, with the re-
mark that the tremendous drop registered by the Bah
son chart since last September must soon strike bottom
II 1t has not already done So"
Thus Mr.. Babson adds his authoritative voice to the
growing chorus OF optimism. Colonel Leonard p. Ayres
IS another authority who sees In the near future a re-
turn to more normal conditions, and others are following
suit. The whole nation win devoutly hope that these
eminent prophets are not mistaken.
The depression has not. all in all, been as severe as
some IN our history: but 1t has been bad enough, and
it, highest price has been the suffering and deprivation
undergone by the antilles Of wage-earners who have been
unable to get work. Monetary losses suffered by cor
poratons are insignificant in comparison.

Something to Aim at


Converting a conference on home ownership at WASH
ington Wednesday, President Hoover asserted that lit
should be possible for anyone In our country OF sound
character and industrious habits to provide himself with
adequate housing and preferably to buy his own home"
There is a world of understanding of his fellowmen.
their needs and their desires, behind the presidents ex-
nression of that idea. It gives rise to "reminiscences
about Hoover, the humanitarian, to whom the world
turned under the stress of war. It demonstrates clearly
that the president has not lost the common touch.
For to most of us there is nothing quite 50 dear as
home. Cynics have been in the habit for q long time
now of detracting from the merits and the value Of the
home.
Newspaper columnists have referred to 1t as q stopping
place between automobile trips and, Of course, there is
always that old saying that you can go home when there
is no place else to 60"
Such cynicism may be justified in some cases but for
the great mass of American people, both men and wom-
en-. home still is the finest and best place in the world.
Within its four walls are most of the important things
of human existence: the wife or husband and the chill
dren. 1t is a place where one may turn and find peace,
comfort and understanding when the rest of the world
seems all awry.
The benefits of home ownershop have been recounted
often cnough. Nobody denies that they are varied ana
many and that the man who owns his own home Is likely
to make for himself q place in the life Of the community.
There is something about Americans which makes them
do better when they have their roots in the soil.
The purpose Of the Washington conference is to devise
such steps as may be taken to promote home building
and home ownership. Doubtless the goal which MI. Hoo
yer has set for it will not be attained. either in the near
future or in our generation. II it ever does come we
will be living in a better America than we know now.

National Radio Week

II one needs to be reminded Of the speed at which the
world Is moving national radio week should do it.
All Of US can remember the disbelief with which we
heard the announcement hardly more than 10 years age
that President Wilson had talked by wireless from a ship
at sea to a shore station. AL Of us can remember how
amazed we were when first we heard a radio in action.
The modern mind moves at a different tempo than
that Of 80 years ago but many of us heard voices from
the ether with the same wonder that we viewed the
first automobile.
And the end is not yet. Probably 10 years from now we
will have to allot another week" to celebration for the
radio photograph broadcasters.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
SleepleSSneSs

0ACCV1CSoQCSS
Question: Mrs. M. B. writes: II
have suffered with nerves through
worry, and it has left me with insom-
MIA. This has lasted nearly a year."
Answer: One of the best ways to
cure insomnia is to take plenty of
physical exercises and also take long
walks each day between the hours
OF three and five in the afternoon.
Start walking one mile daily, and
gradually increase the distance until
you walk four or five miles. Your
muscles will temporarily be relaxed
after this walk and you will be able
to sleep without any difficulty. How
ever, you should also avoid any food
which produces an excessive amount
OF stomach or intestinal gas, as this
gas pressure will often distress you
enough to keep you from sleeping.
Cheese
Question: Mrs. w. B. asks: with
what other foods may cheese be COM
blned, and what particular kind of
cheese do you think best, if any?"
Answer: The best way to use
cheese Is to make it the meat" part
OF ameal, serving with it plenty of
green vegetables, both in the cooked
and raw form. It combines well. as
q lunch, with any OF the raw acid
fruits. particularly pineapple. No
starches should be included with
these combinations. Fresh cottage
cheese is the most wholesome.
Yellow Eyeballs
Question: B. S. asks: "Will you
please tell me how to rid my eyeballs
OF a yellow color? Have tried q fruit
fast for three days and felt very bill
iouS and depressed. I am bothered
also with a gaseous stomach, and am
very much underweight."
Answer: A three-day fast is Just
enough to stir you up and make you
feel more bilious and depressed. Keep
up q fruit fast for at least 10 days if
you want to get rid of the jaundice
which is causing your eyeballs to be-
come yellow. The tendency to q gas
eous stomach will disappear after
such a fast If YOU will afterwards use
the proper foods in correct combi-
nation.
