velopments will be better than the
year 1880. So much for undue pessi-
mism about the future.
Now it is equally ERRONEOUS to be-
lieve that things were never so bad
before. There have been many worse
depressions in the past. Pessimism
has been rife before even in this gene
ration. For example: one of our ex-
changes in a middle western city of
medium size has been going over its
files for the winter of 1920-1921 and
finds, according to its stories pub
lished then, that the problem of unem
ployment was even more acute then
than it is today. 1t recalls the fact
that the popularity of the situation
then was that while labor was unem-
ployed prices had not receded mater
tally. Complaints were being made
that local landlords were evicting ten
ants without giving them fair
chance to secure job and catch up on
the rent, and headlines disclosed the
fact that bread lines and soup kitch-
ems were numerous in the large cities,
while wage reductions over the
country were going on at rate not
prevalent now.
Now this was less than ten years
ago and the people thought then that
we would never get over the post war
defation. Yet between that date and
the present we have enjoyed the
greatest era of prosperity in the his
tory of the country. Within a few
months after these gloomy conditions
were pictured, factories were running
again and the unemployment problem
vanished. Within year business was
running in high gear.
1t is we'll to remember these things
in a time when the pessimists once
more can see no silver lining in the
clouds.
Again and again this country has
experienced a slump, and come back
again stronger than ever. Since the
hard times of 192O-21 was had aperiod
of unprecedented business activity, of
rising wages and of rapidly improv-
ing conditions for every element of
our population but the farmer, who
was harmed to such an extent by the
deflation of 1920 and 1921, has never
fully recovered. But old-timers re-
member when farm lands that sold
for as low as $35 in the late nineties,
commanded six times that price later
on. When the price was low it was
declared by many that it would never
rise, when the price was high it was
as confidently declared that it would
never fall.
The normal condition of America
is prosperity. And America will get
back to normal.

KEEP UP YOUR 'FRONT.'

In the year of 1921 a Chicago
newspaper requested Chicago business
men to keep up their 'front.'.
The article was not f1ippant; it was
serious. The point made was good
business. The psychology was sound.
Business Chicago, the article argued,
had strong foundation laid on rock,
it's ribs and beams were steel; it had
back walls and side walls and roof
but front was needed.
Just so today; right now a front is
needed. Business men everywhere
have let the psychological depression
take hold of them and influence them.
They have lost their jaunty manner,
they have let the bright necktie stay
in the drawer and they have let their
shoes go rusty. ..
To build up that front and get out
of this purely mental depression, bust
ness men must go home and Spruce
up!" They should put on their best
hat,-if they haven't new one, they
should go out and buy one. They
should put on their best suit-if their
best is getting shabby they should
get new one.
If one looks like he has just re-
ceived an order-he will probably re-
ceive one. Moreover, they'll stimulate
some other fellow to give you compe-
tition in cheerfulness and enthusiasm.
Success breeds success.
Our whole country is founded on a
rock. Our national business is sound.
Keep up your front!

Rev. Malan spoke on "Giants and

how optimism and courage makes
"oiants" out of men who without

! don't care how fat You are or
how much you hate to get out and
walk couple of miles
If you will take one-half Il tea
spoon of Kruschen Salts in glass
Of hot water every morning for 80
days
You will feel 50 gOod-so ener-
getic and the urge for activity will
be so great that you will immensely
enjoy a daily walk of several miles
and lose fat.
Why win Kruscchcn Salts make
this great change for the better in
met is natural for you to ask.
Because Kruschen is a blend of
the 6 vitalizing salts Nature says
our body must have to keep every
organ, gland and nerve in tie body
buoyantly healthy.
While YOU are losing fat YOU will
be gaining in energy--in endurance
in ambition. Your skin will grow
clearer and your eyes viii sparkle
with the good health that Kruschen
brings.
just try one SOC bottle of
Kruschen Salts; it will last YOU 80
days. After you have takea one
bottle the old arm chair won't hold
you any more-you II want TO be up
and doing-you II enjoy work and
active recreation and you'll sleep

You'll lose fat and probably live
years longer. Get Kruschen at any
