SILVER STABILIZATION
Senate Borah of Idaho says th

ver and gold ration acceptable to t
leading nations of the world. 1
points out that there is a wor!d-wi

in ssryer rz a result of t
decrease in the supply of gold.
Senator Borah said: "A few da
ago the Manchester Board of Tra
addressed a petition to Premier Mt
Donald of Great Britain, calling :
tention to the fact that the volux
of world business was increasing a
the gold supply decreasing, and i
going that this would result in
fall of prices and an ever-incrcasi"

an agreement could be had

There has been great depression

Years ago I had an appointment
with a corporation president- The
secrctavies, door men, and general}
0 factntnms in the groat man's outec
?> life made it clear that their boss was
# Some Pumpkins and that I was assuming
a great deal in asking to see
- him;
When I finally worked my way

s. in the president's private office, 1
_ ,;axv in the corner a red-faced, bald-l

VALUE OF PAIN
| The best friend a man can possibly I
have is. the one that warns him al-1
1'WavS. of ipipprtnirn)
, ?UUi> .
enough. pain is a very great bless;
ing to human kiifSj
Primarily, it is the apprehension?
! the dicad of suffering, that impels
} human kind to shun pitfalls that
bring disease or death. Yet, for mere
pleasure's sake, or in obedience to
perverted appetite, fools rush in
whc-re angels fear to tread- We abuse
the most rare and sacred privileges
in the most reckless manner, and
whine and cry as we reap the certain
penalties for violation of human
and divine law.
Early pain is a warning that should
5 never be ignored or taken lightly; is*
instance, if suddenly taken with
more or less vague, but keen, colicky,
pain in the locality of the gall-hladder,
which may radiate downward toward
the right side?it may pass
?and, may later return, a bit more
avvav quickly leaving you a bit weak
> insistent; you may be compelled to"
[ cease work. Better notify your phy!
sician. the danger of appendicitis he
i ine thought of. The pain may be op;
posite the region of the appendix at
i first, or, seem to be entirely in the
gall-bladder-?only to locate within
the appendix within 24 hours. NEVER
take a harsh purgative under
such conditions, without consulting
your doctor.
Pain m the head should not be ignored
for long. Here, the diseased
process is often far from the site of
the pain. To use commercial "'headache.
tablets" without intelligent advici'.
is in most cases, dnrnc the vervl
thing you should not do. "&ot being
i a trair?o?-l nViwcioiov J ? 1
_ w? .ivti ^uvuiu never
experiment npon yourself; it never
pays.
Paw in the left chest, transitory!
or persistent, should take one to the!
physician promptly, especially if the'
complainant is beyond middle age, \
is overweight, or suspects kidney de-i
laugeioeiit?a thorough examination I
should be made, no matter how ro-|
bust the patient may look. The pain
may come from a simple affection,
or from one of very serious nature"What
