COPPER STOCKS GOOD BUY STATES BABSON | (Continued from Page 1) for the iarger low-cost copper com- | panies. “The producing capacity of the industry is still large so that any i ¢rease in price tends’® to ! stimulate production. This, in turn, causes the market to weaken. The reason for the slump in most copper stocks Jatound the first' of November -was clear enough. The rate of importa- fon from South America been “}hereasing for a®number ‘of “months. Our southern neighbor can produce at.a low cost, much lower than do- mestic companies, a fact that has been holding the domestic price down. Their producing capacity, however, is distinctly limited and as demand increases they will no longer set the market. The price copper has been fluctuating around 14 cents for a number of months. Demand during 1923 should tend to strengthen the market, although pro- duction will be sufficiently large to supply this demand. In the event of a good building year in 1923, the demand for copper will improve. It should total at least as much as this year, and considerably better than 11921. The European demand will also be slightly better. Although {there ure still bearish factors in the situation, the bullish features are of dominant importance. Hence, I am | distinctly optimistic for a gradual re- covery in profits. “I am distinctliy bullish”, con- 1cludes Mr, Babson, “on the stocks of the large, low-cost producing com- General business continues its sidewise movement in spite of the recent election.

AVOID SOFT-SHELLED EGGS Usually Caused by Hens Being Too Fat or Insufficient Supply of Lime Food. The cause of soft-shelled eggs usu- ally is that the hens ara too fat or do ture, or have been worrled, or the ovi- duct Is not in a good healthy condl- tion, which may be caused by inflam- mation brought on by overproduction, disease or injury. If fowls are too fat starve them down, furnish them with material for shells, keep dogs, children and male fowls from chasing them, provide perches near the ground, feed lightly and use large quantities of greens and vegetables rather than of electrolytic | not have sufficient food of a lime na-| change will bring about better profits | 1 grain, The Expert broadcasts Free Advice on All Subjects, from Raising Chick- ens to Running the Town.

Have you ever realized what a dife ference the home greetings make to the children, make, in fact, to every member of the family? When they come home from school, when they run in from their playing, when they arrive home from a day's outing or a short visit, how do we greet them? Do we ever say sharply: “Mary, when will you ever remember to wipe your feet?” or, “Dick, why will you persist in dashing in like a wild Indian when I've told you so often about com- Ing in quietly?”_or, “Billy, you've ripped a button off. Come here quick- Iy and let me fix it!” Do we quench their enthusiasm, their joy at getting home, by such remarks? WIIl the children greeted so look forward to their home-comings, look forward to their mother? Will they have a picture in later years of a loving, smiling mother, always glad to welcome them back to the home nest, or a sharp, scolding, criticising mother, ready to Gnd fault? 4 Surely it is worth while to control our manner, our speech, and never lef anything preven: us from giving the warm, hearty, loving welcome home we would wish to give our children, our loved ones, making them love the home-comings, says the Delineator. If faults must be reproved, advice given, save It for other times thaa the mo- ment of arrival. Let the greeting be hearty and loving, one which will warm the children’s hearts at the time | and which they will remember with Jjoy In the after years. “Walking” Millinery Shops. In a certain section of Mexico there fre women who wear 150 hats at one time, They are “walking” millinery shops, Instead of “setting up shop,” the Mexican woman carries her store around with her. The hats, which are of light straw, are for si#e, and the walking mlillinery shop often carries about fifty baskets with her besides, And the baskets are not small fancy ) uffalrs, but oftentimes are of half- bushel size. It Is usually the Indian women who do this, and the hats ana baskets sare woven in most attractive Indian designa. The prices of these hand-made arti- cles are very low. Baskets that would well for a dollar in American money gell for only a few cents in Mexico, and hats which sell for 35 or 50 cents would cost many dollars in other countries. e Sk e ek ok ok The New Sfar Automobile Has Arrived in Bemidj THE FIRST ONE NORTH OF MINNEAPOLIS ON DISPLAY AT The Car They’ve Alf Been Looking.

The reason for the superstition that fllhms bring bad luck are problemati- cal, % One papular explanation is that folks are afrald they will pass a “two” for a pe.” Gamblers and sports, particu- xly, carry their money in heavy rolls 1th the largest bills inside, and claim that it is easy to peel a $2 bill from gw outside and pass it for a one. Ar guments and disputes with shopkeep- #&rs frequently follow as to the denoml- | nation of the bill passed. Aguin, folks, who handle large num- | bers of small bills are likely to get a $2 note sandwiched in with a number of $1 bills and in counting forget to make allowance for the extra “seed.” Still another possible reason for the jinx was suggested by a Beston banker. “T'wo-dollar bills are frequently used by counterfeiters and crooks,” said he. “A man can split a $2 bill right through the middle, then split a twenty, paste one part of the two with another half of the twenty and thus make two twentles out of a $20 and a $2 bill. By passing the $20 side up they can get away with it more often than you would believe.” TOOTH DECAY DUE TO BREAD Exhaustive Experiments Have = Ab- solved Sweets From Blame Which Has Been Attached to Them. The general belief that the consump- tion of jams, jellies and such sweets are responsible for the progress of de- cay in our teeth, has not been borne out-by experiments which were made at the hygienic institute of the Leipsic university. On the other hand it was indicated that bread was responsible for sach troubles. This was shown by taking perfectly sound teeth and coating them with wax, into which an aperture was made at one point or another, and these were then subjected to an immersion in a mixture of bread and saliva at a temperature of 37 de- grees Centigrade. At the end of 33 days many of the teeth showed signs of softening at the exposed points; while 23 days later all showed the softening. signs. At the end of 124 days completely develdped carjes was developed In all fhe teeth under experi- ment. A similar test with jams and Jellies resulted in a complete vindica- tion of the sweets, for the same length of time showed that the fruit aclds and the perfumed acids of the pre- serves had no effect glpon the teeth whatever. 3 perficially Greatba lar. foundation & to produce tion of libe: ular desire sire to buy. desire for ness or an CALL BEGINS MONDAY (Continued trom Page !) | 1y, re-organized at its annual meet- ing and the newly elected board and officers ‘are entering into this Fifth Annual Roll Call with interest and | enthusiasm.
