Ever since peace was foreshadow ed last fall, financial and business authorities have been trying to tore- cast tne business fu.ure. They have issued the most diverse and contradic tory prophecies. One man sees a bright future immediately ahead. An other issues dark predictions of dis aster. Which is the common sense •hops employing a thousand men gives Florence the aspect of a boom town. Some big contracting concern With neney, machinery i>nd men will appear as, soon as matters are form ally settied in regard to the loca tion of the shops and work will com mence on practically a new town ad joining Florence. Brick yards, terra- cotti plants, etc., will spring up in a day, sewerage water and gas mains, also telephone and electric wires will be put in and streets cons* meted and thousands of houses will go up wile re o|en tlelds now appear. Is this .too strong for .he Florence Cham Is it not time for the Florence Cham- ,her of. Commerce to wake up? Could not Florence business men organize i> big land, lumber and brick company and da this construction work? New ntoies will be needed as with a big inilenx of people large- depfartmof.it stores always follow. Wooiworth, Cobb or ?ilver will demand a space I nr « large ten cent afore and possi bly Florence may soon be able to bray about ai least one sky scraper. As one thing calls for another she may also call for a motor bus line t( the new town or a first class street car service. Why no;L? Its been dene under much less favorable con dition elsewhere and why not get the blood working right and make Flor ence the Metropolis of the Pee Dee. B. S.

Careful thinkers and students of economic conditiods look back to the past when they wish to estimate the trend of future events. History re peals itself. Most of the experts who have deliberated over this o.uestion give much thought and weight to the appeite, never cared for anything to eat and was nervous to kill. “1 had heard so much aboir: Tanlae , 1 decided the time had come for me to test it cut.

The reviews of medicine and vet erinary surgery speak of important researches looking to the cure of glan ders, which afflicts horses and may also attack man, who almost Invaria bly succumbs. At the beginning of the war the spread of- glanders,: especially among the quadrupeds ‘of the Third Italian army, suggested to Colonel Command ing Dr. E, Bertettl, director of the veterinary service of the army, the Idea of utilizing the victims of glan ders in making experiments in regard to its curability. . Obtaining permlsstop. of the war ministry and the supreme command of the army, the experiments were, be gun at Cnorle in a sanitarium rigorous ly quarantined and equipped with all the latest scientific and surgical ap pliances. Dr. /luido Finzi, head of the Insti- sute of Pathology and Medfral Clinics of the Superior Veterinary School of Turin, assisted Doctor Bertettl. After two years they announced that glan ders was curable, not only In Its chron ic stages but also in its process of evo lution. The Importance of the discovery and the evidence of the results obtained led the two experimenters to ask for a commission to make practical tests of their discoveries. The results fully confirmed the facts announced by Doc tors Bertettl and Finzi. PUT HYPNOTISM TO GOOD USE coarse of business in the country dim ,. „ .. . , „ . in just thirty days time.

Writing in the Medical Journal of Australia, Dr. Clarence G. Godfrey states (bat during the past two years n number of cases have been referred to him for treatment by hypnotic sug gestion, in which stammering or stut tering had developed, or had been revived, after years of disappearance, as the result of shell shock or of various war stresses. Sometimes a hpynotized patient has been told to keep on repeating some well-known nursery rhyme and not to cease at the signal to awake, although in the mid dle of the rhyme, but to keep on talk ing. He will usually manifest his astonishment at finding himself talk ing without difficulty. Sometimes a patient will converse on waking with out realizing that his stammering has disappeared until his attention is drawn to it with amusing effect. In one case the patient spoke perfectly In sleep at the first attempt to hyp notize him, although he had had a very bad stutter for eight months past, being almost inarticulate. He woke in a few minutes apparently cured and has been free from stutter ever since. It has been noticed that every case treated, even the worst, has been able to speak far better In the hypnotic state than out of it. £ ti ‘m— TT- TY—TV TIMES WANT APS 1 Read them for profit—Use theiti for results On* cant a ward.

Of the many stories of heroism dur ing the war on which official records are silent but which are being brought forth with relaxation of the censor ship Is that of Captain Larcombe of the antiaircraft defenses of the Lon- J don (Eng.) district. His job for four years bus been to find and dispose of German aerial bombs that failed to explode when dropped on London. After each air raid, and in the early part, of the war there were many, Lar- comhe and his. men would go about the city seeking the “duds.” It was dan gerous work extricating them from wherever they happened to drop, trans porting them out of the city amf ex ploding or otherwise destroying them. During the excitement after a raid few people thought of the bombs tlmt failed to “go off,” hut all of them have ceased to be a menace to the city.
