THE TRAGEDY OF PLENTY
A YEA It oj?b wo linil it Ktcik market crash. It wusn't the ciiiini-
of our present tl.r-HHion ; it was o result of over-eoiifi-ilonce.
Today wo suffer from over-eautioj, und I iloii't know
which of the two is worst! for u: ' .;
A ypar ago we peddled wild rumors of failures, disaster,
panic. We told end) other tltwo milliois unemployed, hut suid
riothiiiK.nf tllfc forty-two millions on the joh. AVe whispered to
each other iluit the tuition was "hroke," that hiiyin( power had
vanished, hut said iintliinj,' of the fifty billions ''(' hanks hud on
deposit, aiuj of the fifteen billions, for example, which we could
borrow on our "savings" in life insurance. In awed tones we
spoke of fewer ear-loadiiijs, but said iiolliinrr. of the !IO(),'lO
freight cars whiidi were beintf loaden'cach week. ,
AVc talked ourselves into a state of fear, and we are still
talking. .. . i 'C :
AVc fiiicj a jierversc pleasure in seclainx grounds for pessi
mism. Nothing reassures.: Weignore the absence of those
things which usually accompany panics. There is no scarcity
of money. National credit was never so good. No suspension
by banks of full efisii piiyiiieiits. No sale of certified checks ut
a discount.' No great failures. No disoarlers of euraeiicy.
And Hie irony ol' it! -,

The tragedy of plenty !
...-'. -.',
RJIOANWIIIfjK the shelves of tile nfltVin, both in stores and in
homes, are beconiing bare. Some day, just as the bubble
of over-ebnfidence burst a jear iHgo, oiir present over-caulion will
vanish and then we shall all join in a mad scramble to buy.
Factories will licit he able to fill their orders; and wheli we hear
of that, we shall become more exuited to buy, demanding deliv
eries' now. Oiir, instant demand will cause prices to go up and
tip And up. , ,' , - I
That has been the course of every depression. Prices on the
down grade. The! dollar commands greater ajid greater values.
.Seiitinieiit changes: Thrift comes to be a matter of wise spend
ing hs well as wise saving. The Americail people; have never
been and never will.be content indefinitely with a hand-to-moilth
existence.
Aiid because of this, from evry depression vome new names,
new; fares, .new, fortunes, new business leaders. There are ill
ways a. few who do not wait, for Opportunity to repeat iier knock
lit the door and show credentials. There are illways a few
eveii its there arc li few'todtiy who with foresight and common
sense go quietly Into a low-priced market, stock tip raw mate- j
rials, lay tip supplies of every kindeveti to household and per
sonal supplies and gel ready for the inevitable upturn.' i

IF YOU will look aliout you, you will note that most of the big
" fortunes of today, andthe rtlieccssfill liieii, dime up out of
times like ihese. Not blind . buying, but intelligent buying,

ait honest man to buy for hla baby,
Tho honeHt man may decline to
buy the fancy brand. But if he
takes that course he soon discovert
that ho has got to buy it 'or get
alonu; without cod liver oil, as the
dealers supply only tho brands that
have been made "well known. .
".,And how have they been made
fr11I knowh?' By propaganda and
by subsidized medical research.
4Vf.ll this coHts money, and the cost
iii paid nut of the profits In the oil.
Worse stilt. Just when the honest
man ia settling down to It and pay
ing the tariff for the necessary
Cod liver oil for the baby, some biff
business interest 'develops a new
concentrate of the necessary vita
mins of cod liver oil, and launches
a nation-wide propaganda and.. a
line of medical research and all
the. rest of It', and presently the
new conVontrate becomes quite es
sential for the baby, and poor
father must pay thru tho nose
for it.
What has the Rovernment to do
with all this dirty work? Oh,, the
government supports the racket by
Issuing a patent for the new con
ceal rate. That tears it, mi far hs
te" babies are concerned. Tho
people who own the patent must
get their royalties from every drop
of the concentrate we babies re
ceive. Now we contend that If the gov
ernment were nrt concerned about
t our welfare as It pretends to bo, no
such (latent would be issued: or if
11 patent is iniitc neccHsary. then
the government should buy it out
right and Rive it Jo us free of cost.

Should a woman plan on having
all her cblldrenboforo she 1 3 tl
.Provided, of course, she is In good
health. (Mrs. C. T.)
Answer. No. Perhaps the age
of 25 is Ideal tor motherhood, but
many, .normal women do not attain
complete development Intellectual
ly until 55 or 40, whereon any
norma J. woman should retain nU,
her physical efficiency, until she,

Cruelly to Neurotics ,

seems unnecessarily cruel, so I arp

. Answer I still feel that the;
other, members of the family or'
housohojdi Reserve moat of the1
.sympathy where there is a case of
nervous imposition. Besides, , I
have had a number of letters from
people who thank me for having
taught them that "nervous break
down'' doesn't mean anything, for
once they've discarded that foolish
alibi they have taken proper
steps to find out what, If anything,
really, was the matter, and often
the real trouble proves amenable,
mo that the deluded one. no longer
goes . thru life bemoaning his in
