One of .he statements that marie a now era In the practice of medicine! is that of Dr. Charies H. Mayo, who' declared at the Clinical Congress of j | Surgeons at Chicago that “the day] < of medical secrecy is over and the

physician or surgeon who hides the,

facts from his patient la out of date." WID Some One Please TeD Me The custom a generation ago was' Why the would-be Busy Brokei different.

There U always about so much money in the country. In good times and bad the actual amount of currency fluctuates rein lively little. The great difference between brisk and dull business conditions is the rate at which money changes hands. One dollar used twice develops the same amount of business as two dollars used once. If we want a healthy, strong business situation then we must do what we can to keep money

This Is true In Presidential yeais or when a radical change In Congress is in prospect. People seem to cling to their cash balances as though they held some aavtng grace to ward off trouble. , "This wave of alow paying caur.ed by the feeling of uncertainty regarding the outlook, but IU effect on busine's la to make a certainly of very much worse conditions than otherwise would occur!
