should have the Bible" Grief had
deeply touched him in the loss of his
beloved wife, and while the article
is somewhat morbid because of this
circumstance, much of it rises to sub
lime heights. He wrote, Truth is
recorded in the Bible, as the stars are
sprinkled upon the armament. There
is no appearance of system in either
and yet in astronomy is there not or
derby arrangement, the most perfect
system? And may not the same be
true of the Bible? Is there harmony
in created objects, and not in re-
vealed truths? Is not the truth one
and concordant ?"
at is wonderful that profaneness is
not awed into veneration, and inf
deity disarmed of its doubts and OBJ
jectives by the amazing grandeur of
even the descriptions of the Bible.
There is in them simplicity that at
tempts nothing and yet a sublimity
that towers above everything"
In another paragraph DR.. Nevins
declared, "The Bible, directed to all
men, should be delivered to all men.
All have an equal need of it. If God
so loved the world that he gave his
only begotten son, surely the world
should be informed of the stupendous
and deeply interesting fact. All SUI
premely, intensely need the Bible, and
need nothing so much, and need moth
ing in comparison with this" DR..
Nevins passed to his reward in 1885.
"He being dead, yet speaketh."

HABITS HAVE A SERIOUS
EFFECT ON ONES HEALTH
Some of those Acquired in Child
hood Are Detrimental

Speaking of habits, DR.. Richard C.
Leonard, Chief of the Division of Oral
Hygiene of the Maryland State De-
partment of Health, said: "Some of
the apparently harmless habits ac-
quired by young children have seri-
Gus effect upon the teeth and mouth,
and eventually upon the general
health. The sooner they are faced,
frankly and squarely, the better it
will be for the child's health.
"Some people think that thumb and
finger sucking are cute. AS matter
of fact, they are trouble makers that
may have a lasting effect, not only
upon the child's health, but also upon
the facial expression and general at
trcativeness of the child. The con-
slant pressure of the jaw resulting
from thumb and finger sucking may
gradually push the teeth out of their
normal places and make them come
in crooked This in turn makes chew
ing difficult and interferes with the
digestion.
"Other habits, not as noticeable, but
as difficult to control and as harmful,
are lip and teeth sucking, sleeping with
the hand or arm under the cheek, or
resting the cheek on the hand while
bending over lesson. All of these
tend to make the teeth crooked and
start a similar train of evils. And
while we are talking of habits, don't
let US overlook one of the greatest of
all trouble makers-the so-called 'pac-
ifier' that the careless or Indifferent
mother sticks into the baby's mouth to
keep it quiet. Pacifiers have been re-
sponsible for changing the shape of
many a mouth arch. They probably
have had great deal to do, also, with
the development of adenoids, and in
turn, with the production of many
mouth
at is comparatively easy to break
habit before it has had chance to
become fixed. There is usually cause
underlying it and it is worth while to
find the cause and correct that, if
possible. In some instances, thumb
sucking may be due to unsatisfied
hunger; in other, to overfeeding. Get
:your doctor to help you find out what
it is and act accordingly.
1.-THE baby is in no way responsible
for the pacifer habit. The mother is
the one who begins it. 1t is impossible
to keep a pacifier clean, and no matter
how you may look at it, the pacifier
habit is filthy one. Nobody knows
how much dirt or what disease germs
are stuck into the baby's mouth with
one of these trouble-making devices.
"Many mechanical means have been
developed to aid in breaking thumb
sucking and finger sucking habits as
we'll as to use in correcting mouth or
jaw deformities produced in other
ways. Sometimes it is necessary to
resort to devices constructed by the
dentists to fit particular cases. The
earlier the dentist is consulted, the
easier it will be to make the correc-

beyond home consumption. And the
Sovlets are lacking in experience in
mighty complicated pulp production
methods
Nevertheless, Russia has the raw ma
terialS and some mills in addition and
Sweden is well aware of the ability
of the Soviet to step into new market.
May Make Agreement.
With an eye to the future, therefore,
1t is not unlikely that Sweden will be-
come increasingly willing to negotiate
a trade agreement with Russia in the
matter of timber products.
Swedish timber interests admit that
negotiations toward such an agreement
continue, quietly, following a meeting
OF representatives of Sweden, Finland
and Russia at Berlin early in June.
The Berlin meeting produced no def
mite results and the reasons for the
failure to agree so far are being care
fully guarded.
Important, also, is the fact that
Sweden is in direct and open compe-
tition with Finland just now in the
matter of timber Former agreements
have lapsed and the fight for markets
is open and expensive.
Soviet Is Competitor.
In Sawn lumber the Soviet sales con-
tinue to cut deep into the English mar
ket. where Sweden once sold practically
undisturbed. This is done. as a rule
through price cutting, which makes
Swedish lumber experts confident that
Russia is making little or no profit.
But the effect on Sweden, and Finland
as well, is no less severe for that.
1t is through price cutting and
dumping" that Sweden hopes to see
Russia forced to resort to different tao
tics. That and growing home mar
ket in Russia. 1t is a question here of
how long the SovietS can go along with
minimum profit. And when prices
rise Sweden will again have an ad-
vantage in natural and mechanical ef-
fclencieS of production
In trade in general, however, Sweden
has no reason to be worried about
Russia. There is a favorable balance
of trade which has remained fairly
constant since 1926 Last year Swe-
den's exports to Russia totaled 30

Decline of Prices and Limited

Lumber Trade.

STOCKHOLM, July 30.-Recent labor
troubles in, the wood pulp mills, added
to Soviet and American competition in
sawn lumber sharp limitation of mar
kets and decline of prices, have in
tensified a gradually increasing hard
ship on Sweden's largest export indus
try-that of timber products, wood
pulp and paper.
The industry, born of Swedens great
forests and rushing streams. brought
wealth into the country during war
time trade, but is now engaged in
Watchful waiting Its leaders look
toward the future and hope for trade
reaction that will place more emphasis
on efficient production and less on in
discriminate price cutting.
To add to the induStry'S worries,
Canadian lumber interests at the Brit
ish Imperial Conference at Ottawa
have contended that a 10 per cent
preference in the British market for
Canadian lumber is not sufficient to
overcome Scandinavian competition and
have urged higher rate.
Labor Troubles Factor.
The labor troubles. which led to vio-
lence in some sections of Northern
Sweden, have not helped matters any.
Many Swedes see their nation as trying
to smooth out Soviet political propa-
ganda with one hand and deal with
Soviet trade problems with the other
So far the real threat of Soviet
competition to Sweden has been in
sawn lumber But there is the posi-
bility, clearly recognized, although not
feared Just at present, that Russia may
in the future add wood pulp to its lists
of exports.
Comforting to Swedish pulp manu-
facturers is the fact that it will be a

rail bonds today discouraged week end
profit takers and the senior securities
market closed its books for the month
Of July without having to record sin

Realizing was unusually we'll absorbed
and trading diminished noticeably un-
der moderate pressure. The market, at
the same time, was thin in a number
of spots and the volume of transactions
was somewhat under that of the preced-

par value, and the average for go Sc
iected securities gained two-tenths of

A number of the more speculative is
sues, which have recently recorded large
advances, sagged at one time as traders
cashed their gains. They refused to
stay down, however, and snapped back
with but little urging.
Rails registered the most pronounced
resistance of the brief session, the ma
iority holding advances of from l to

included some loans of Santa Fe, Balti-
