JOE MOWRY
 BURNING UP
 AMER. ASS0,

MINNEAPOLIS. = Joe Mowry was one of the boys who expected to see the name of Mowry in the 1893 big league baseball lineup.
 The fact that Joe was disillu- stoned has given the former Uni varsity of Iowa star chance to show his mettle.
 Resuming his outfield post with the Minneapolis club of the Amer ican association, Mowry has begun the season just like he finished 1892. In his first 36 times at bat, Joe got IA hits for a 1888 average.
 In 1892 he batted .348 for his first full season in class AA base ball, set a new league mark in hits with 257 and slugged for total of 384 bases, also a new league rec ord.

Anyvay, 1884 Will Be Different

Looking back on 1883, it has been in many I'M
portant respects the most interesting year since the
end Of the War Beyond doubt the forces which have
been set in motion during the year will prove be of
the greatest Importance to everybody, although we
ance as to what their end results will be. We can
safely say, however, that radical changes in the
omic and social life of people and of those Of
manv other countries have been inauglratcd
Even to mention the high spots of the years
events would take columns Of type Beginning with
the Inauguration of President Roosevelt smultan-

business back to something like normal. And those
arc only few of the events for which 1888 will be
remembered &
In international affairs, beyond doubt the most
important thing was America abandonment of the
gold standard though the most spectacular event with
which we were concerned was our recognition of the
Union of Soviet Socialist Republics otherwise Russia
And in Europe itself the outstanding event was the
seizure Of the government Of Germany by Hitler and
his superiors.
We doubt whether 1884 will produce any such
list Of spectacular events We don't care if it doesn't
We only hope-and expect-that it will be better

Why Hospitals Use
a Liquid Laxative

Hospitals and doctors have always
used liquid laxatives. And the public
is fast returning to laxatives in liquid
form. Do you know the reasons9
The dose of a liquid laxative can be
measured. The action can be con-
trolled. 1t forms no habit; you need
not take a double dose" a day or
two later. Nor wiH a mild liquid
laxative initiate the kidneys.
The right liquid laxative brings a
perfect movement, and there is
no discomfort at the time. or after.
The wrong cathartic may keep
you constipated as long as you keep
on using it'll And the habitual use Of
irritating salts, or of powerful drugs
in the highly concentrated form Of
pills and tablets may prove injurious.
A week with a properly prepared
liquid laxative like DR.. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin will tell you lot. A
few weeks time, and your bowels
can be "as regular as clockwork.",
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is an
approved liquid laxative which all
druggists keep ready for use. 1t makes
an ideal family laxative; effective for
all ages, and may be given the
youngest child. Member N. r. A.

for products is so limited. What,
then, can be done?
If we stick to the old-fashioned
idea that purchasing power must
be earned, and that consumption
depends upon incomes earned by
production, we can work along the
following lines:
Cd Establish confidence among
enterprisers and capitalists, so
that they will more vigorously
seek new openings and put more
capital into business. If capital
were less timid, there would prob
ably be more funds advanced for
plant and equipment and labor,
II there were more certainty as to
monetary and business conditions,
the chances Of an early expansion
OF existing industries and the es-
tablishment of new ones would be
increased.
Restore Consumer Confidence
2. Search out the industries in
which shortages exist, and the
possibilities of new industrie or
new product. Then direct our
energies to starting them, rather
than expanding production where
oVerproduction already exists.
3. Restore confidence among
consumers and small men who
have savings. so that they will
feel that they can resume normal
spending. This would help es-
taol1sh better demand for many
products, and would thus give us
a basis for creating earned pur-
chasing power.
According to this way of look.
ing at the problem, production
must come first, and expand
along with purchasing power.
B-The other way is to create
purchasing power first, and ex-
pand it ahead of production.
Pumping Up Credit
Since purchasing power" would
not be based on production. the
advocates of this way would ex.
pand credit and increase the sup
ply Of paper money. This credit
they would get into the hands Of
people through Government loans
and through QubIe works. The

Failures Run Higher
In All Trade Groups

There were, according to the
records of Dun & Bradstreet, Inc,
282 business failures in the United
States for the week of October l9.
A fair comparison cannot be MADE
with the figures for the week OF
October II, because of the Colum-
bus Day holiday.
Totals in all trade groups were
higher last week, especially among
wholesalers and manufacturers.
Among retailers, there was a
slight gain in the failures, as COM
pared with the figures for the pre-
ceding week. These were, how
ever, considerably below the num-
Der for the corresponding period
of 1882.
The number Of failures last
week was larger in the Eastern
and Southern sections than in the
previous week. Declines were reg
istered for the Western and Pa
cific Coast States.

CURB ACTIVITY

SHARES

NEW YORK, Oct. 80 U.N.s).
With the exception Of the gold
shares, which we're active and
strong, the curb market, generally,
failed to be overly impressed by
the decision of the Administra-
ton to extend its gold purchase
program into the world markets.
Traders Confused
Traders, for the most part, were
too confused to know what to do,
and only cautious buying was en-
gagged in by the speculative ele-
ment. Newmont Mining was the
pace setter in the metal group.
A scattering of specialties were
up rather sharply, although this
was attributed entirely to short
covering.
Alcohols were higher, although
unable to hold their early tops.
Commonwealth Reacts
Commonwealth Edison was a
reactionary feature in the utilities.
Oils were moderately higher.
Investment trusts did little.
Cities Service common held
steady.
Curb bonds were quiet and little
changed.

and slows up the heavy industries.
It tends to put prices up before
supply is adjusted to demand, and

purchasing power. Ordinarily
people get money to spend by
earning it. And they earn money
by helping to produce things
which other people will buy.
But just now "other people"
are buying little, because they,
too, are not earning much. So
we get in a circle. Few people
have much purchasing power,
because others likewise lack
purchasing power.
A. One way to meet the prob
lem is to establish such condi-
tions that a larger number can
earn money. The only way they
can earn money is to work at
producing something which others
want and will pay for. To create
earned purchasing power, there
fore. it is necessary to increase
production.
But when we try to do that, we
run into the fact that large sup
plies of many products already
exist, while potential buyers lack
the means to buy.
Hard to Create Buying Power
The chief difficulty in creating
purchasing power through pro-
duction IS that purchasing power
