pointed out that the economic sit
uation in Sweden is characterized
ny an increasing tension between
supply and demand, which is clear
~ mirrored in the trade figures for

Will increase further due to the

The statement urges first of all
a decrease in the investment vol

the general demand would be to
keep the nominal incomes at the
present level until an improvement
in production will permit an in
crease. Since the purchasing power
is too great in comparison to the
supply of goods, much stricter
saving is necessary. 1t is very i'm

on this point, that the people have
confidence in the stability of the
krona and are made to realize that
it pays to save. The opposition

the famous Swedish surgeon, has
recently described to the Copen-
hagen daily, Berlingske Tidende,
the results of successful opera
tlons. Up to the present, he says,
II persons suffering from angina
pectoris have been operated on at
the Serafimer Hospital in Stock
holm during the last 2 or years.
fifty-four of the patients were
men, and II women, between the
ages of 36 and II. Six of the pa
tents died, but 43.7 per cent were
almost or entirely freed from their
pain. In the case Of 40 per cent a
mild form of pain remained, but
this was possible to check by med
ication. The results were unsatis-
factory in only Z per cent of the
cases.
The operation consists in re-
moving the first four thoracic
ganglia or nerve bundles in the
nerves that conduct the pain, and
no great risk is involved for the
PATIENT. The deaths occurred
among those patients who were al
ready gravely affected before the
operation. 1t is still too early to
tell whether the operation pro-
longs the life of the patients, but
one thing that is certain is that
the rest of their lives will be much
happier.

to increase the taxation of certain
higher income groups should be
abandoned for the time being. The
Government on the other hand
felt that it could not make such a
promise. With the tax matter out

STOCKHOLM--One of the latest
triumphs of neurological surgery is
the discovery of means for pre-
venting the violent emotional an
guish and pain occurring in at
tacks of angina pectoris. Nothing
can as yet be done to prevent the
disease itself, which consists in
construction of the coronary AFTER
les of the heart, but the absence of
pain during the attacks is a great
relief to the patient.

Second Easier Euu
Hunt Will Be Held
Over 700 Riddles
Attended Last Year

Preliminary plans are being COM
pleted for the holding of the second
9nnual Easter egg roll in Caldwell
Saturday, April 5, sponsored by the
Senior Chamber of Commerce for all
the kiddies in Noble county.
Chester Huprich has been named
chairman of this event Others on

Jack Berry representing the Amer
lean Legion post, John w. Hazard
and John D. Wheeler.

that the supply of colored eggs was
not adequate to meet the need.
Business men will be asked to
contribute at least three dozen col
ored eggs, their name appearing on
as many eggs as they wish to give
prizes.
They will be collected in the first
corridor of the courthouse at 1000
o'clock, Saturday morning, April S.
The Easter egg roll will begin
promptly at o'clock.
Approval for use of the courthouse
lawn must come from the Noble
county commissioners and they are
to be contacted by members of the
committee.
The various business places part
icipating in the Easter egg hunt need
not confine themselves to three
dozen but are urged to give as many
colored eggs as possible.
Every kiddie within the four
corners of the county is invited.
