Important Events From All
Over the Old World Told in a
Few Short Line*.
There Are a Few Cardinal Rules
to Be Observed in Buying
Securities.
By B. C. FORBES
A medical doctor gives me a trounc
ing for never telling people of “sure
tHinge" thrft will make millionaires in
a hurry.
He wants me to "put people next ]
to money mak'ng" schemes. Hej
scolds me unmercifolly for advising j
email investors to buy seasoned ip-
vestments. Any child could write
"that kind of stuff." He is not in the
kindergarten class, he say*, and
wants eomething mere advanced. He
laughs at a 6 per cent return on a
thoroughly safe investment. Six per
oent may satisfy novices, but not th*s
gentleman learned in medical lore.
Well, I confess I have neither the
wisdom nor the inclination to advise
small investors to risk their savings
in "sure things" that promise to pay,
not 6, but 60 or^ 600 per cent. My
writings are manifestly beneath the
notice of those who insiftt upon beira
told how to get rich quick. Might I
suggest, however, that my doctor
correspondent can find the addresses
of tipsters galore m certain Sunday
newspapers; That field is abund
antly filled already. My ambitions
do not fly quite so 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
th's stock is to go and how far an
other is to fall on given dates.
• * * •
For those in the kindergarten class
I recently 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.
* *
BEWARE OF ANY "SECURITY'’
WHICH—
Is represented as certain to hri ig
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 nr responsible interests asso
ciated v <th it
Is o ily in the promotion stage—-
that it, merely an undeveloped "pros
pect”;
Is based on some alleged property
•n a distant part of the country, and
of which you have no means of gath
ering information—except from the
sellers of the stock or bond;
Is not dealt in on any Important
stock exchange, or readily marketa
ble in case you want to sell;
Is offered you by some one posing
at an enemy of "the captalists”; by
some 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
t>on—capital for the vending of really
valuable inventions is not usually
sought from small investors by un
known agents;
Is to finance some wireless tele
graph or telephone device that will,
acoording 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 is to be
come in time the s'te of a city, which
will cause the holdings to yield fabu
lous sums when cut Up into tiny lots;
Has as its strongest inducement
that it is "non-assessable,” for this is
ne guarantee of anything and is often
used as a hook for unwary fish:
Is sell'ng at a few cents a share—
a lo.v quotation ,does not mean th.it
a stock must be pheap. and anything
selling in cents is not liksly to be an
investment, but a sheer gamble in
which the promoter spins the wheel
end stops it at any point he desires:
Is repeatedly drawn to your urgent
attention bv letters and circulars im*
Passing upon you that by not buyinq
now you a e 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
cunt'es are never sold that way, and
you can stamp such a scheme as an
unmitigated fraud:
It—this ( s 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
ins'ders can play any way they like
and rob you of your hard-earned
dollars.
Never buy a security without first
learpmg of its standing from some
•ne or some publication you can
trust.
• * •
Investigate before investinp. Staple
securities do not disappear from the
r-arket overnight. High grade in
vestment issues, such as are suitable
for the majority of small investo-s.
do not lump up and down in pries
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. Russeil Saqe, and such institu
tions as insurance companies demand.
They are careful investors. You can
not afford to be less so.

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 blood and sift
out 'all the poisonous acids and waste
matter that cause these troubles
It soaks right in and cleans out the
stopped-up, inactive kidneys 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 neutralises the urine
so it no longer irritates the bladder,
overcomes unnecessary breaking of
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 tskt it into
the human system without results.
It starts to work the minute you take
it and relieves you the first time you
