BUSINESS index,
SLACK PREDICTED
Continuance Of Upward
Trend Is Expected,
However.

The swiftness with which Industrial
and business indices have risen in re-
cent months toward prosperity planes
may slacken soon, the Bureau Of
Agricultural Economics predicted yes
terday, although they are expected to
continue upward.
The bureau explained in its report
on the Demand and Price Situation:
Available data indicated that an
almost steady advance has taken
place since the beginnin. OF Feb
ruary. During this period. the per-
centage changes in durable and nom
durable goods have been very similar.
Further rapid and material ex-
pansion IN some Of the industries
which have contributed Importantly
to the rise since last Summer is not
probable in the immediate future.
In some Of these lines, notably
steel, Immediate large increases in
output would entail the use OF obso-
lete. relatively high-cost facilities, or
would be handicapped by a shortage
OF skilled labor.
Among industries reported as be-
Ing still considerably short OF capac-
lty operation are the building con-
struction and materials industries and
those making some types of industrial
equipment, particularly for railways
and public utilities"
The report suggested that recent
rises In world prices were stimulated
by speculative activity and may have
carried prices Of some raw materials
above the levels warranted even by
the present and prospective improve
ment In world demand"

Here are clever, spring draperies that you can stitch up in time for the first violet.
 You let in spring sunlight-and you don't miss Q trick in style-by using these long tiebacks instead of side draperies. Try a gold chintz, figured in green and rose. for tie- backs and scalloped valance. Edge with Q smart corded binding of green. Curtains are sheer cream rnarquisette.
 For tie-backs and valance make buckrarn foundations. Cover with chintz. For the long full ends of tie-backs, just double the chintz, you don't need c foundation mater ial. Tack the valance to a valance board screwed shelfwise to window trim.
 Our 32-page booklet gives you in- structions and diagrams that are easy to follow for glass curtains. draw curtains, formal and informal draperies. How to make pinch pleats, valance boards, cornices.

TREATMENT OF CHRONIC NUTRITIONAL ARTHRITIS

Artificial fever treatment of chronic severe arthritis has not proved effective. But when weekly fever treament is given together with massive daily doses of vitamin
 D (2O0,000 to 100000 units daily) patients show more improvement. Experience has taught physicians that 1t is important in every case where massive doses of vitamin D are given to see to 1t that the pa- tients on such treatment receive daily an optimal ration of vitamin B as well.
 The reason why such doses of vit- amin D (perhaps from 1000 to 5000 units dialy is enough to supply the body's requirement. of this vitamin) help arthritis sufferers is not under stood. This treatment was an acci- dental discovery-physicians experi- menting with large doses of vitamin D in the treatment of patients suf- fering with asthma or hay fever ob- served astonishing improvement in the chronic arthritis with which several of the patients were affected.
 We know that vitamin D is es- sential for normal calcium and phosphorus metabolism or assimi- lation and utilization in the body. We know that the internal secretion or hormone of the parathyroid gland regulates calcium and phosphorus metabolism. We believe the para thyroid secretion compensates to some extent for any deficiency of vitamin D; that is, overactivity of the parathyroid gland (hyperpara- thyroidism) is likely to occur If the vitamin D intake is to low.
 The invisible ultraviolet rays of sunlight or arc lamp or mercury vapor quartz lamp naturally gen. crates vitamin D from sterols (fat- like substances) in the skin, and this vitamin D is carried through the body in the blood to the tissues that need 1t. This is the reason why physicians prescribe daily sun baths for infants and children and urge adults to expose the naked skin to sunshine as much as possible short of sunburn. People with any ten- dency to develop chronic arthritis should particularly avail themselves of this remedy as preventive and cure. Midday sunlight, say between II a. m. and 2 D. m. is richest in ul- traviolet, especially in summer, but even in winter diffuse mid-day light still contains some ultraviolet when the air is fairly clear of mist, fog, cloud or dust. The air of mountain districts is more likely to be clear of substances opaque to ultraviolet Natural ultraviolet rays are always cheaper and more powerful than ul- traviolet from artificial sources provided common obessions ana prejudices against exposure" dc not prevent the health seeker from taking his place in the sun.
 Numerous arthritis sufferers have experienced marked benefit from taking calcium lactate. ter grains three times 6 day aftei meals with Q good drink of watel over a period of three months ol longer I believe this should alwayl be supplimented with . suitable daily ration of vitamin D. to pro mote e0od calcium meLabolasEn. o and with Slinbaths or as mitch ex' posilre to sunlight as may be avail able.

Spring and St. Patrick's Day = they come in hand and hand. Fresh greens and golden harps, delicate foods and strong devotion to old Erin, these things combine fortun- ately into a time for celebration and most of the world goes to some sort of St. Patrick's Day party. For the bridge-playing section of hu. nanity, there's nothing quite so ap- propriate as Spring Luncheon where little shamrocks and gay col- teens give the table it's proper note.
 For a green and white luncheon, you'll find this menu fresh and ten- der, delicate and seasonal and very simple to prepare. Begin with such bowl of spring salad as will cause the heart to dance with delight. Follow with a second course of broiled young chicken, new potatoes In parsley and butter, tiny baking powder biscuits and your best mint jelly. The third course brings in fresh asparagus, hot, with 8 smooth, golden Hollandaise sauce.
 DeSseFt lm H0liday Spir1s
 And then the dessert - remem- Der, 1t too, must be as light in spirit as @ young lamb that gam bols over the new green hillside Use sections of fresh pineapple, cut lengthwise in eighths, rolled in powdered sugar and served on green glass plates.
 With the pineapple serve special St. Patrick's Day confections such as Lucky Shamrocks and Macaroon Horseshoes. Then small cups of thin china and as fragile as the breath of dawn, with coffee as clear as the spring beneath the rock. Such is the mod of the first week of spring, the time when all loyal sons of Erin celebrate the birthday of their great patron saint.
 Spring Salad rub the bowl lightly with garlic and chill. Toss in fresh crisp watercress, pieces
