FOIiD'S exlanation is interestiiif?. He maintains that the wild hull-market of the past year or so was-created by an extraordinary era of material urosperily. Such a market could only bo sustained by an uninterrupted continuation of such prosperity. A few months ftgo business started here and there to slow down. Nothing alarming. Nothing unusual or unex pected, dust a normal ebb in the economic tide, lint enough to break the bubble of stock speculation and inflation. Henry maintains it was only the temporary diversion of business men's attention to the sensational market, that, pi-evented many of them from seeing what was happening. He concludes: "It is now clear to all that the real explanation of the present shine lion' is not fo be found in stock market history, but in recent business history." "Whereupon, Ifr.

Until Ford appeared, lowering 'prices and raising wages simply wasn't done. The old theory was that the worker shared in business prosperity and suffered in business adversity, lint Ford com pletely reversed this principle. When business slows up, he jifcrcaScs production and consumption by lowering prices) and adds to the consumer's purchasing pow'cr by raising wages. PKIilfAI'S the Ford luisincss is so unique that he can do ! things, the ndnlinl manufacturer cannot do. He may be lis twisted in his economic ideas- as his enemies claim. But as the richest ninn in the world, with a record of uninterrupted business success, the burden of proof would seem to he upon those who refuse to accept his theories.

Only a few years ago It looke.l for a while as though the surg'eon.s were going to take- over all peptic ulcer cuses, and try various inter esting procedures on them, from gastro-entei ostorny or short-eir- culling of the food to pylorectomy which moans cutting out tho lower J gateway ufthe 'stomach, or sub total gastrectomy, whiech means cutting nilt'nS'nutc'h of the stom ach r.s tho surgeon figures the pat ient doesn't need, . including, of course, tho ulcerated area. .

' Many pep tie ulcer patients are now successfully treated by fl diet a ixl medication without confine ment In bed.

What is tho best kind of soap, where hands are very irritating after washing withvsoap and wa ter? Is cold cream good for this, or can you suggest something to apply before retiring? (A. Ji3. A.) Answer. There Is no more reas on to imagine disease can be con tracted by handling public library books than for Imagining It Is dan gerous to handle bank notes. This unfounded popular notion is prob ably perpetuated by tho practice still followed In some of the more backward public libraries of "fum igating" or "disinfecting" books in lime of epidemic or scare. Any of the well known brands, of toilet soap is all right. Cold cream :s advisable only when you . have It freshly made by the druggist I do not advise the use of so called cold cream that Is not freshly made on order. You may make a good hand lotion by boiling in. -pint of rain water or distilled wa ter grains (say a tablespoonful) of tragacanth in chips or shavings (pot powder), until the tragacanth dissolves into a thin jelly. Add water to make up to full pint. Dissolve in this three tenspoonfuls of boric acid, and one ablespoon ful of glycerin. You may scent it with a drop or two of your- favor ite. perfume if you like. The fin ished product should be a very thin, clear jelly. Apply a few drops lo hamls two or three times daily, after washing and before tho skin U oulto dry. . The lotion Is often used to soothe the face after shav ing. It whitens and -softens red, harsh,' chapped or irritated skin.
