"*0— T “ — 7*^ ■■hhmmmhmmuhi J TIIE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS, WEDNESDAY. MAY 14. 1913. There Are a Few Cardinal Rules to Be Observed in Buying Securities. By B, C. FORBES A mtriical doctor gives me a trounc ing for never telling people of “surs things” that will make millionaires In a hurry. • • * He wants m« to "put people next to money making” schemes. He scolds me unmercifully for advising •mall investors to buy seasoned in vestments. Any child could write "that k»nd of stuff.” He is not in the kindergarten class, he says, and t wants something more advanced. He ? laughs at a 6 per cent return on a thoroughly safe investment. Six per **nt may satisfy novices, out not this gentleman learned in medical lore. * . * Well, I confess I have neither the wisdom nor the inclination to advise •mall investors to risk their savings in “sure things” that promise to pav, not 6, but 60 or 600 per cent. Mv writings are manifestly beneath the notice of those who insist upon bema told how to get rich quick. Might I •uggest, however, that my doctor correspondent can find the addresses of tipsters galore in certain Sunday newspapers/ That field is abund antly filled already. My ambitions do not fly quite eo high. » prefer to stay on solid ground, to write only about matters not requiring the su perhuman acumen that were necessa ry to tell in advance just how far up this stock is to go and how far an other is to fall on given dates. • * • For those in the kindergarten class I reoently jotted down a few sugges tions on how to tell bad securities. At the risk of drawing upon my head more criticism. I venture to repro duce these elementary pointers here. • o • BEWARE OF ANY ‘SECURITY” WHICH — Is represented as certain to bri*tg you a fortune; Is offered you as a special privi lege ; Is to be marked up to a certain price on a given date; Must be bought in a hurry, with out delay for investigation; Has no responsible interests asso ciated with it; Is only in the promotion stage— that is, merely an undeveloped “pros pect”; It based on some alleged property • n a distant part of the country, anf *f which you have no means of gath ering information—expept from the sellers of the stock or bond; Is not dealt in on any important stock exchange, or readily marketa ble in cate you want to eell; Is offered you by some one posing as an enemy of “the captaliats”; by Rome one anxious to let you share with him the joy and profit of ex ploiting a property or enterprise which, when filched from its rightful owners and with a little money from you and a few others, will reap a golden harvest; Is dependent upon some new inven tion—capital for the vending of really valuable inventions is not usually •ought from small investors by un known agents; Is to finance some wireless tele graph or telephone device that will, according to those asking you for your money, drive all the existing companies out of business; Is secured by unlmprived land (in some remote region) that *s to be come in time the s'te of a city, which will cause the holdings to yield fabu lous sums when put up into tiny lots; Has as its strongest inducement that it is “non assessable.” for this is no guarantee of anything and is often used as a hook for unwary fish; Is selling at a few cents a share— a low quotation does not mean that a stock must be cheap, and anything selling in cents is not likely to be an investment, but a eheer gamble in which the promoter spins the wheel and stope it at any point he desires: Is repeatedly drawn to your urgent attention bv letters and circulars im pressing upon you that by not buyinq now you are letting rich profits slip through your fingers: Is bunched with other offerings by the seller and the lot "marked down** to a price below the total of the in dividual quotations—trustworthy se curities are never sold that way, and you can stamp such a scheme as an unmitigated fraud; Is—tnia •§ important—a mining stock or bond in course of flotation— such are not investments; they are gambling chips, or, to be more cor- rect. often are loaded dice, which the insiders can play any way they like and rob you of your hard-earned dollars. Never buy a security without first learning of its standing from some one or some publication you can trust. • • • Investigate before investing. Staple securities do not disappear from the market overnight. High grade in vestment issues, such as are suitable for the majority of small investors, do not jump up and down in price day by day. • • • Don’t expect a much better income from your invested capital than such people as John D. Rockefeller. An drew Carnegie, Mrs. E. H. Harriman, Mrs. Russell Saqe. and such institu tions as insurance companies demand. They are careful investors. You can not afford to be less so. F.

While people along in years are naturally more subject kid neys. they can avoid the tortures of backache and rheumatism and Fie saved the annoyance of getting up at night with disagreeable bladder dis orders, for the new discovery, Crox- one, quickly relieves the most severe j and obstinate cases. < Croxone relieves these conditions by removing the cause. It is the most wonderful remedy ever devised for ridding the system of uric acid. It is entirely different from all other reme dies It is not like anything else ever used for the purpose. Croxone makes the kidneys filter the Filood and sift out all the poisonous acids and waste matter that cause these troubles. ft soaks right in and cleans out the stopped-up. inactive kidney* like wa ter does a sponge, dissolves and drives out every particle of uric acid and other poisonous impurities that lodge In the joints and muscles and cause rheumatism. It neutralizes the urine so it no longer irritates ’f.he bladder, overcomes unnecessary breaking of 1 sleep and restores the kidneys and bladder to health and strength. It matters not how long you have suffered, how old you are, or what else you have used. The very prin ciple of Croxone is such that it is practically impossible to take it into tbe human system without results It starts to work the minute you take It and relieves you the first time you use it. You can secure an original package of Croxone at trifling cost, and all druggists are authorized to return the purchase price if It fails in a single case. NEW STEEL CITY PLANNED.
