Gained World Attention.
He literally leaped into worldwide
attention with his July corn coup OF
1924. The general opinion was that
corn was due to drop. He began to
buy at 10 cents bushel, subsequently
sold at $1.10, stepped out with a gain
estimated up to 100000 and followed
through with an even greater "killing''
in wheat.
Cutten seized the opportunity OF
rising prices to step into the stock mar
ket in the late 20s. He led the big
Ten" trading block. Ranking specu-
lators were his associates. With an
other syndicate, they were credited
with buying and selling half the stocks
turned over on the New York Stock
Exchange in days of huge volume.
He was reported to have made as much
as 100000 on single deals.
But the self-styled cash grain mer-
chant" disclosed nothing concerning
stories that he and his colleagues made
$lO,000,000 in Baldwin Locomotive
stock in 1927 and from $4,000, 900 to

In February we gave several talks here on the modern treatment of arthritis. dlst of the subject is available in q monograph which will be mailed to any reader on request; incloBe stamped envelope bearing your address. The use of massive doses of vitamin D--from 100000 up to 100000 units daily over pe- riodR of weeks and months, Was described. This is the most recent development in arthritis therapy. This is not a specific cure nor q sure cure, but In stubborn ca8eB of long standing where the condl- ton falls to respond to any other method of treatment and indeed seems to progress from bad to worse, the results gained from thoro trial of this treatment warrant the at- tcntion of all who are disabled by chronic arthritiB of any type.

Paris, (UP)--We are in foi an. other floral season to judge by the reams of flowers that are bursting out dailyy on new materials, hats, scarves, gloves, purses and even shoes. Buttons, jewelry, shoe buckles and belts all have some sort of floral motif on them.
 Materials are particularly In- tcrcsting. The prints vary from set and conventional patterns to multi colored all over designs which picture futuristic petals and leaves of all sorts of known and unknown flowers. Sprays of white hyacinths make q graceful pattern on a black background while large punches of purple and white violetS each conventional bouquet surround cd by green leaves, are printed on black crepe for dinner gown.

WOMAN,S REALM

The woman who has Q scar of any kind on her face or neck and those who have birthmarks need to use a special foundation and Q lavish supply of cosmetics. Nowa- days, 1t is fairly simple to hide any permanent blemish. You merely need the right preparations and @ certain technique In applying them.
 For instance, there is new cream which, if blended carefully and covered with powder, will con- ceal even very dark red birthmarkg or scars. This comes in Q jar, is greaseless and will stay on all day. Be sure to get Q shade which will match the tone of your skin,
 Simply wash your face with soap and water, smooth the special foun- dalton over the area you want to hide, blend 1t well 50 there will be no rough edges, put regular foun- datlon lotion or cream on the rest of your face and neck, then powder and use dry rouge.
 Remember that the special prep aration and your face powder must harmonize with your complexion. Pink foundation over 6 scar on an olive skin makes matters worse in. stead of better.
 Then, too, there is an extra spe- cial type of foundation for swim fners and others who go in for ac- tive sports. This is Q bit greasy and is not to be used regularly. However it B waterproof and should prove to be blessing to gportswomen with scars on arms, legs, face or throat.
 Neither of these new items is to be used by persons with acne unless of course, the doctor approves. And don't attempt to smear them over open sores. They were designed to hide scars and birthmarks but not to take the place of Q physician. If you have acne or if your skin seems to break out fin pimples or rash all too frequently, see a doc- tor ct once, and follow his advice.

The new treatment cannot be adequately carried out by any ono without medical supervision. ] cau- ton laymen with arthriLiS not to attempt to be their own doctors in this matter; in the first place, the high dosage required is expensive: in the next place the doBage must be stepped ID at intervals accord- ing to the effects observed and only the physician can manage thlB; fi- nally, unless the dosage is Suffi- ciently high, disappointment may result--most of the good results have been obtained from the higher doses given daily for months. Few patients experience any notable ifn- provcment until the end of a month and signs of Improvement in some cases come after several months of treatment.
 Az already mentioned, this iB not n specific cure, but only q Bupplc- mentary treatment.

Prevent Malformation Of Child'S Jaw By Checking Thumb.Sucking Habit

JWcr front teeth are tipped back wards. They have found that. II the left thumb is sucked, the teeth are displaced toward the left; 1T the right thumb iB sucked, the teeth arc moved toward the right.
 This serious possibility of nal formation of the jaw should be q decided warning to parents to do something early about Lhumb-Blick- ing. If the habit b broken before the child k Q years old, the dcfor- mity may disappear within n year or two. If, however, the practice iS continued, the deforinity may be- come permanent.
 In an extensive study, n promi- nenL dentist discovered that 70 or ITO children had developed such habits ag sucking the thumbs, fln- gerB tongues, or lips. Thirty of the 70 sucked their thumbs.
 With the exception Of two chil- dren who began the habit during their second year of life, all who sucked their thumbs had started it during their nursing periods. Twenty -Onc of the 90 children were easily broken of the habit, but nine persisted In it,
 In practically all eases, thumb sucking was associated with falling asleep.
 Although the practice in modera- ton may not be harmful, it is hard to draw the line between moderate and exccssive indulgence. The safest plan is not to permit thumb sucking to any degree which will indicate that it fig apt to become an established habit.
 All sorts of devices have been developed Co cure child Of the habit. One of the simplest methoda is to wrap some adhesive tape lightly around the thumb. This makes the sucking somewhat ds- agreeable and. with good many babies, will prove to be sufiicicnt to break the habit.
 Another method is to place a stiff cardboard over the child's elbow, 70 that the arm cannot be bent. And still other ideas are the application of bitter medicine on the thumb, the use of wire rings, aluminium mltts, and similar devices. The el- bow cuffs seem to be the most cffec- tive.
