In the realm of finance the major item in _that process is the second mortgage. President Hoover took cognizance of that item in announcing his decision to eall the conference. “In order to enable the purchase of homes on what amounts to the install- ment plan,” said Mr. Hoover, “it is necessary to place first, and often, second mortgages. Building and loan sssociations have performed a great service in this fleld, but they cannot without assistance carry the burder. “PFirst mortgages, carried 5o largely by the savings banks and insurance companies, have been affected by com- tition with bonds and other forms of Pivestment.

Moses & Sons Public Confidence Since 1861 Comelius Vanderpoel, for 36 years Chief Pharmacist at Cook County Hospital. “Doctors’ orders are commands in the hospital. The welfare of pa- tients and at times life itself de- pends upon the preparedness to supply promptly whatever is pre- scribed. A saline water laxative is one of the essentials. Pluto Water is acknowledged the ideal saline water laxative, and so we keep on hand a supply to meet the require- ments of our huge staff of phy- sicians.” Chief Pharmacist, Cook County Hospital. Famous Cook County Hospital Keeps Pluto Water on Hand for Attending Physicians HOSPITALS everywhere carry a supply of Pluto Water for the benefit of those patients for whom a saline water laxative is prescribed. Thousands of doctors regularly prescribe Pluto Water as the ideal saline water laxative, Doctors can’t afford to take chances with constipation. Decomposing waste retained in the bowels may lead to extremely serious complications. Pluto Water is as much a staple in hospitals as bandages and iodine! Doctors have prescribed Pluto Water for more than fifty years. It is a part of the pre-operative treatment in many hospitals. Hospital assistants no longer need to be told—Pluto Water is a part of the treat- ment in hospitals the country over, for scores of ailments. Sick people can’t stand the irritating, griping, dangerous pangs that come from harsh vegetable laxatives. A doctor wouldn't think of operating on a patient with dull instruments—he’d know that delicate tissues would be torn and strained beyond repair. Why, then, should he administer a laxative that tears and twists the delicate walls of the intestines? He doesn’t—that’s the answer! He gives his patient Pluto Water—Nature’s own water-wash for congested bowels! Very often “Pluto Water” is the doctor’s order; quite as often, the hospital atten- dant’s own knowledge and experience dic- tate Pluto Water—always with the doctor’s approval, for he knows Pluto Water will act gently, certainly, quickly! Well, then— If Pluto Water is safe for delicate sick people, isn’t it the safest laxative you well people can take? T.PLUTO WiLL. If it acts without harming the weakened tissues of a sick person’s digestive tract, won’t it be the best thing in the world for your own perfectly sound intestines? The answer is obvious—Pluto Water is the best, the safest, the surest laxative for everybody—sick or well! LERE Pluto Water, as you know, comes from French Lick, Indiana—home of America’s greatest health resort. It contains all the essential mineral properties of the famous natural waters that rise from Nature’s own laboratory dow9 there in the Cumberland foothills. It’s effective—it’s safe—it's certaint’ ‘Thousands of eminent American physicians prescribe Pluto Water regularly. Ask your own doctor—no doubt he also endorses it. Eminent British, French, and German phy- sicians recognize in Pluto the ideal saline water laxative. 3 Hospitals keep Pluto Water constantly in stock. Ships carry Pluto Water on long voyages. o Railway passengers find Pluto Water in diner and club-car. You can buy Pluto Water in practically every drug store in practically every civile ized country. What more proof can you ask that Pluto is the one best laxative? Even if it cost a thousand dollars an ounce it couldn’t be any better. But it doesn’t— it’s only 20c (for the small size) and 45e (for more than twice as much) in bottles at drug stores and fountains. Keep Pluto Water always on hand. It’s a friend in need—and as a @aily tonic, diluted in plain hot or cold water, for the digestive tract—it can’t be beat! LAXATIVE MINERAL WATER
