In the Stock Market

(Bv Thomson <t McK'nnon' NEW YORK. March 17.—The confident views expressed by President Hoover ss to the prospects for a. return of prosperitv later in the year stand out conspicuously in the mixture of both favorable and unwavorable business news over the week-end. Existing conditions are so well known and have been subject to discussion for long enough that it may almost be taken for granted they have been fairly well measured by the security markets Therefore, it is probably more advisable for us to look to the future and we know of no better guide to follow than the President, who in no uncertain terms has made the unqualified observation that business is on the upgrade and that we are close to a dawn of spring revival. Whatever earlier apprehension there may have been over the possibility of a reduction in income tax collections appears to be somewhat lessened, and already predictions are at hand that the payments will equal if not exceed those of the previous year. We arc inclined to feel that a turn about in commodity prices will signal the definite arrival of a change for the better in •the business situation and with the price structure apparently showing signs of reaching resistance levels, it seems to us advisable that this point be kept in mind. Prospects for a higher wheat market today should materially assist in reversing the recent reactionary tone of the stock market.

PREDICTIONS OF THEATER DECAY ARE DISPROVED Broadway Stage Has Best Plays This Season of Past Ten Years. Bv T'nited Press NEW YORK. March 17 —Somebody said a year ago that the legitimate theater was just about dead from dry rot and ticket racketeering, superinduced by the advent of the talkies, or squallies. Possibly, as a direct result of this prediction the Broadway stage now, in the matter of darned good plays and entertainment, is polishing off its finest season in at least ten years. There is “Strictly Dishonorable,” to take an outstanding hit. Anybody who thinks that he can wait for the cinema czars to bring him “Strictly Dishonorable" at his corner movie palace is crazy. It couldn’t be done. Lines Are Good This foolery, which might easily have been lifted while out on any contemporary evening in a West Forties speakeasy, is for the legitimate stage —and the Broadway legitimate stage, at that—only. There is “Berkeley Square.” Here is an evening, such as the advertisements would have us believe can only be spent wit ha good book in front of a pine-knot log-fire while the blizzard rages without. Unfortunately. there are no such evenings, except at “Berkeley Square,” for persons older than boy (or girl) scouts. “It’s a Wise Child” is David Belasco’s contribution to a plethora of entertainment. “Rebound" is the whimsical Donald Ogden Stewarts amusing machine for feeding good lines to Hope Williams. Describes Meeting “The Criminal Code” was the inside of a prison, if there ever was one outside of a prison. “The Last Mile” is stark horror, a prison mutiny so nerve-wracking to innocent beholders as to cause them to shed a tear for the late lamented Judd Gray and Ruth Snyder. “Subway Express” is a murder mystery. “Topaze” Is an amusing study of a pedagogue gone Babbitt successfully. “The Apple Cart” is Shaw converted from Socialism and rooting for the crown, a sufficiently diverting spectacle for anybody. Among musical offerings there are “Bitter Sweet,” the best English idea of what a pleasant diversion should be, and “Sweet Adeline.” the American counterpart, with Helen Morgan. Finally, in order of production only, there is “The Green Pastures,” by Marc Connelly, which touches perhaps the highest peak in the theater because it is as enthralling as “Tom Sawyer,” but, unlike Tom and Huck, hardly could be sited into a book.

What Do You Know About CHIROPRACTIC? ECZEMA ECZEMA is one of the MOST COMMON, one of the MOST UNSIGHTLY and one of the MOST PAINFUL of skin eruptions. Sometimes it persists for years despite effort of the patient to correct it. The skin THICKENS, it becomes SCALY, often it CRACKS to leave RAW, BLEEDING OPENINGS. The patient usually tries first one SALVE or OINTMENT and then another. Many of these are soothing because they soften the kin and make the condition less painful, but when the condition CONTINUES the SUFFERER begins to look about for some other way of CORRECTING the CAUSE of the trouble. IMPROPER ELIMINATION FUNDAMENTALLY the cause is in IMPROPER ELIMINATION. The four important channels of elimination are the BOWELS, KIDNEYS. LUNGS and SKIN. When one of these systems fails to perform its share of the work an extra burden is thrown upon the others. In ECZEMA the difficulty is usually with the KIDNEYS. When they fail to properly function toxins are retained within the circulation. When these reach the skin in abnormally large quantities they act as an irritant which producer, eczema. The CHIROPRACTOR’S work is to CORRECT the cause of DEFICIENT KIDNEY ACTION and when this is done the skin is no longer subject to constant irritation. This is why CHIROPRACTORS have been so successful in correcting conditions of this character. Dr. Charles W Sharp Dr. Wm C Ellery 8322 E. 10tb St. CH. 7823 Odd Fallow Bldg. RL 7!MI Dr. C. A.
