THE MISSING ELEMENT IN PROSPERITY Students of nutrition have told us for a long time that we need balanced food^that is. that we need to consume all the elements of nutrition i in the proper proportions. Recent investigations have shown that we require mce elements than was formerly realized, and that if any one of them is lacking, or if there is not enough of it, the body will suffer, no matter how much of the other elements it may be getting. The same principle applies to the feeding of plants. No matter how rich the soil o ^rtain fipirf rnflv be in all the uxx u w* v^**4 v ? ? elements of plant food but one, if there is not enough of that one the crop will be poor. The principle of balance applies to every problem where several factors have to be combined. It applies very definitely and directly to the matter of industrial prosperity, which is quite as compUcated and depends upon quite as many things, all working in . .combination, as the problem how to feed plants and animals. Xo matter how many elements are present or how abundant they are, if one is lacking or is present in too small a quantity, the lack of that one will limit prosperity. If the other kinds are abundant, they are likely to be unemployed a large part of the time. Careful study of the problem. is likely to discover that as many hith, x erto unrecognized elements are necesWe Are Naminj ' ; * On GalvanizedlCorrugated Painted Metal Shingles.

It is easy to think j that all ? the essential elements of I prosperity are present, and to won der why prosperity does not come. I From that it is a short step to con elude that the lack of prosperity is | owing to the machinations of some i person or group of persons, whereas j deeper study would probably show j that it is owing to a lack of some necessary thing the need of which has j ! hitherto been unrecognized or unap- j preciated. i ova m nit*, be an !

There may be an abundance of manual labor and j technical knowledge, as in Japan, but | a scarcity of land. There may be an { abundance of manual labor,'technical I knowledge and land, as in Russia, but a lack of capital. There may be all four elements, as there are in this country today, but a lack of men who j know how to organize them all ami | get them to working together smooth- j ! ! In any of those and in a multitude | j of other instances, the mass of the I j people may be poor merely because j some necessary element is missing or j not present in sufficient abundance. | The part of wisdom is to try to dis- j i cover the missing element and then I I to take such measures as are neces- j sary to increase the amount of it. That plan will produce more durable | results than laying the blame on some I one else.?Exchanger,* I WffHliHI I I Special Prices .
