She emphasized the Importance
Of diet to build up resistance to
colds, and said:
DO not overeat but eat var
iety of nourishing foods: milk,
plenty of fruit and fruit juices, es-
pecially tomatoes and citrus fruit.
Canned tomatoes are almost as
good as fresh ones.

also good.

Hen Lee had a moving on Sat

to the house lately occupied by G

for the boys that frequent his

to cigarettes and drink that had

appear that Lee does not know

sionary work. He does, however,

STOCK MARKET
Up AGAIN ON
HITLER SPEECH
BY LESLIE GOULD

NEW YORK, Jan 81 dN.S).
The stock market today paced Q
further general recovery in world
security values, responding to the
stimulant of Chancellor Hitler's
calm and conciliatory speech be-
fore the Reichstag.
Gains Of l to more than 8
points were chalked up at the
opening. And best levels were
maintained later despite light
profit-taking. The rise followed
yesterdays squirt Of ! to S.
Trading was at a fast pace early,
when blocks running to 5000
shares changed hands, but tapered
off later.
Markets at Paris, London and
Amsterdam displayed a strong
front. The Berlin Boerse, though,
gave up initial gains of i to 2
points. German registered marks
fell IS points in a somewhat easier
foreign exchange market. The
pound and French franc slipped
fractionally.
Steels, micals, building
shares and motors, as in yester.
days rally, were in the van of the
upSwing. All sections were carried
along on the rise.
