A man once said just as he and his wifs were abcut to take a long western trip that “she up and died!” Does that refer to the place of her death? Was she “up” in the at- tic “up” to her mother's or somewhere ;. in the country when death ecame? Does it refer to the conaition of her mind at the time of departure? Was she “up” on her ear, “up’’ on her digmity, “up” on her muscle, or “up” on her family pride when she passed through the goiden gates? It might mean that .she wag “up”’ and dressed attending some missionary meet-: ing, rather than “down” at the time playing bridge whist.

This case was carried along in London courts for two generations. At the pre- sent time the fortune of the merchant would he considered very inconsidera- ble, bnt the disposition of an estate, in 1859, of $3,000,000 was something very unusual in England. Thellusson had three sons all of whom were married. It was his de- e in life that they should found their own fortune as he had done. He took the very best legal ad he decided to make his wi his sons a few trifling legac the refnainder he placed in the of trustees. til his offspring should also be d No one of the children or grandchil- ver should be. the richer for wealth. the will was opened at the death of the father, all the relatives were sadly disappointed. They were destined to live the life of Tantalus and to see this great pagoda-tree- growing up before them, vet never'to pluck one unit of its fruit. The terms hat when the last survivor of all .the nine descendants should yield up hig breath, then the charm was to end. Then the great mountain of accumulated wealth was hands as to accumulate un- on confronts the American |to be divided into three portions, and | one third was to be given to each o the “oldest male lineal descendant” of the three sons. He ended his will by saying that he hoped the Legislature would not alter it. Of course, the first thing that fol- lowed was a ehancery suit of the fat- test bulk. The common sense view would have been to get aside the will as the product of a diseased mind. But Lords Loughborough, Alvaney and El- don were led by their love of art to admire the skill of the maker of the will. The litigation was first carried to the House of Lords, where it was con- firmed. Then the Legislature took it up and decided that the devising pro- perty for the purpose of accumulation should be restrained in general to 21 vears after the death of the testator. Then the English Courts of Chancery took the case in hand and for 60 years even after gll the children and grand- children were dead, they continucd to haggle over the will and draw from the accumulated sum to pay them for their time. The last survivor of the nine lives affected by the will died in February, 1§56. The arrangements were made to carry eut the final part of the will— its division into three parts, Aneth- er stumbling block was then in the way, for there were two Who were oldest in the point of lineage and two who were oldest in peint of personal e. Old Peter’s ohject was to make the| heap very large at its division, but instead the Court of Chancery had so clipped and pollarded the rich mer- eant’s oak that when it eame to the final divisien it was a very littie larg- er than originally. In fact, the purse- proud old man had disinherited his own children only to fatten a genera- jtion of lawyers, and 'instead of his name being associated with the foun- dation of a house of fabulous wealth, was only knewn in connection with an ebortive seheme of vulgar vanity, In consequemce of the failure of male lineal descendants on the part ef one of the family when the partition arrived the trust property became di- vigible into iwo lots eniy. In the suit of “The Hon. Arthur Thellusson v Lord Rendelsham and others,” the' question was whe was the “eldest maic lineal descendant” of Peter Isaac. The case was first heard before the Master of the Rells, who dascided in favor of Lord Rendelsham. Then it was appealed before the Heuse ef Lords happily for the litiganis the court of supreme and final jurisdic- tion. The learned Lovds delivered their several opinions. On the 9th day of June, 1895, just 62 years after the cru- el and insane old man had bequeathed his legacy of dispute and litigation to his children and his children's chi dren, the House of Lords put an cnd to his power of inflicting further mis- chief by pronouncing their final judg- ment. Finally the decree of the lower court was sustained and Lord Rendel- sham wes given preference over Hon.

If they do, both the French and! tho English situations will be affected, and this country cannot help but feel the effects in somé degree. It is highly de- sirable to place the German fnancial system on a firm basls, vet business the world over may be forced to mark time while the readjustment is being completed, i These basic factors must be kept in mind in forming a judgment upon what| is I store for the futurc. The recital of them may wound pessimistic, but they | are mot stated for the purpose of put-! ting a damper on whatever optimism | 7 at present exist. Rather should be considered In the llght of justi- g the maxim that “to be forewarned | Is to be forearmed.” ! There are three other conditions of| more immediate concern which are con-| stantly operating to improve the present | situation. The first has been spoken of many . times—namely, the continued| large volume of distribution of goods | through ratil channels to the ultimate | consumer—remarkably large, consider- | ing thé depression in agricultural and in- dustrial centers. The department stores and apparel shops that remort to this bank, for example, sold a larger volume of merchandse during 1921 than during 1920. There was undoubtedly an over- production of merchandise compared with the Teal needs of the people durlng 1919 apd .the first part of 1820, but i would seem as it goods were consumed faster than they were produced during t yoor and a half. The increased ile and shoe industries during the latter part of due to the fact that production had to be increased in ore der to meet the consumers’ needs. The second important factor of im- mediate concern in the business situation Is the status of the buildiig industry. For several years the volume of new construction has been deelinfng. Tnal- vidual types of building have at times experienced actlvity, but since 1916, with the exception of part of 1919 apd 1930, the general trend has been downward. At present, particularly in New Eng- land, there seems to be a change cceur- ring in the situation. -The valae of con- tracts awarded,for ncw construetion district during December was the largest for any month in 1921. This is pastioularly noteworthy, Inasmuch as a ne should normally be expected at s time of the year, signifying tFat the improyement is doubly important. T taken In conjunction with th e of moderation if not actual cessu- tion in the decline of bullding costs for a time at feast and the im mount of credit avallable for building. eems t0 warrant the estimate that hullding operations in New England dur- ing the first part of 1922 will be consid- erably jarger than during 1921. The improvement in credit conditions is probably equally as tmportant as the; continued largo volume of retail trade and the increasing scale of buflding op- erations, It is certain that the strain in the money markets was a prime con- tributing cause_of the last depression. It required an extraordinary amount of capital to do business in the first pert of 1920, when commodity prices were Ligh, and now that there has been 2 de- cline averaging, abont 46 per cent. in wholesale quotations, it is obvious that commerclal demands for credlt are not so lavge. Banks are charging their regu- lar customers approxmmately 5 1-2 per cent. for shoit time commerctal loans at present, as compared With 8 to § 1-2 per cent. about a year sgo. What is prub- ably more important, credit is easier to obtain now, than it was at that time. The banking situation is net straimed, and frozen leans, while not entirely a thing of the past, are no longer a men- acs, and many large banks, members of the federal reserve system, have found it possible to do their business without borrowing from the reserve hank. Tho banking system of the country has an enormons surplus gold reserve, sufficient to finance any reasonable expansion of Dusiness, Improved banking and credit comdi- tions, the large volume of merchandise being sold by the retail stores, and the improved outlook for the building trades give hope of at least a moderate degree of business activity in New England during the coming months. 'The dura- tion and degree of the actlvity, however, will depend largely on whatever changes may occur among the more fundamental factora—the foreign situaiion, the car- tailment of the farmers' murchasing power, the burdensome taxes aceom- panying large governmental expendi- tures, and the Influences of the tariff up- on domestic and foreign trade. \ i 1921 was probah is ai of by 000,000,000 the whole World i Muthall at $4, census of 1920 vuts the value of those of the United 000,080 or nea Whole World a century earlfer, With thfs tremendous growth ing induetries our exports of domestio manufactures have grown from less than $8,000,000 in 1821 1o over $2,000,000,000 in 1921, or 250 times es much in the “lean” year just ended as in the corresponding year of the preceding century. crease business actlvity has come a correspond- ing advance in the ments and sap! ey In elrculation” which wae offictaily | Teported at $67,100.000 in 1820 is offi- cially stated at $5,676,711,000 on Decem- ber 1, industry and business have grown amaz indly. the population of New York hav- | ing Tncreased from 130,000 in 1823 to| over 6,000,000 from 108,000 Chicago from “a hamlet of log houses inhabited by less than 100 people MENTHOLATUM writer makes nearly every letter sep- arately, or writgs in convenient litile groups of two or three lettes, and leaves considerable of a gap between the groups giving the page a rather disconnected appearance. Such writing as this is an indica- tion of intuition. Those who write this way are those who make up their minds quickly as a result of instinc- tive inier consciousness rather than lof deliberate, conscious reasoming. Within the limits of their experience these intuitions are likely to prove more dependable than a labored at- tempt to reason a thing out. You've met people, no doubt, who jump at a conclusion and then pro- ceed to prove or disprove it to them- selves. These are the people who do it, and this somewhat inverted pro- cess is really the most logical and ef- ficient one for them to follow. Many people regard facuity than reason. It isnt.

When Napoleon led his victorious armies through Europe his worst ene- mies wera not the nations defending themsclves against his smashing on- slaught; but he was confronted by the graver question of how to provide nourishing and strengthening’ food for his soldiers. The Great Corsican realized long over a century ago, as hag every com- manding gemeral since, that men’s bodies must be perfectly nourisbed if they are to retaln their natural strength, energy and vigor; in fact, that the very health of the human being is regulated almost entirely by the Stomach. Under-feeding, insuf- filent nourishment, means loss of flesh, anasemia, lack of red blood and subsequent weakness of the entire sys- tem. What such pesple need to enable na- ture to bring back their stre: and vigor, restore their lost weight, and put them in fighting trim, with rich, red blood coursing through their veins is Tanlac, the powerful reconstructive tonic and bady buiider. A man or woman suffering from sour stomach, bad breath, biliousness, in- digestion, or gas on stomach, i un- fitted either for physical or mental labor. Sufferers from these ailments find life a burden; they look on the world through blue glasses, the joy and rewards of the vigorous, happy, nor- mally healthy person is not theirs. Their troubles embitter them against the world, dstroy thelr ambitions and make their es dull and unhappy. How foolish to continue in this con- dition when on every hand throughout the length and breath of the land, 1830 to approximately 3,000,000 in 1822 Not all of tais growth in the indus- tries and prosperity of the country has come from a mere increase in popula- tion, for our area has doubled mean- 1,792,000 ,620,000 square Alaska, at the present sin square including Our additions of territory consist of Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, and the includes cultural country.
