ItEPORT PREDIOTS
CHECK IN PRICES
Ilarvnrd Investigators See Hope for
Future. Drop Not Impossible.
Cambridge, Mass., Feb. 1.--The Har
vard committee on economic research,
appointed by Harvard university to
make special studies of economic con
ditions, has just announced that the
United States may expect a check in
the upward movement of prices and
of business activity, which has been
in oprogress since last April and per
haps a drop in prices. At the present
time,. however, the committee states,
and on the basis of the November and
December figures, it would be pre
mature to conclude that a violent re
cession in commodity prices is prob
able.
The committee was appointed by
iarvard university in 1917 to assist in
the solution of the fundamental econ
omic problems which underlie modern
commerce' and finance. it provides
statistical information to federal re
serve banks, for banking houses and
large corporations and includes among
its publications a review of economic
statistics which contains a price fore
caster.
The committee |bases it.s liresent
forecast upon statistical material rep
resenting the decline in the New York
bank clearings. the volume of sales on
the New York stock exchange, the
prices of industrial stocks and analy
sis of the banking and trade situatlon,
domestic and foreign.
Prof. Warren M. Persons, editor of
Statistical Service published by the
committee, says that the statistics col
lected by the committee indicates that
the farmers will continue to prosper
in 1920 and that the prosperity of this
industry will contribute to that of all
others during the coming year.
The beginning of the now year, he
declares, finds American manufactur
ing industries In a sound and prosper
ous condition.
"The tightness of the money market
and the-announced policy, already in
augurated, of the federal reserve board
of increasing discount rates have
caused many observers to have grave
misgivings for the financial outlook
for 1920, he says. "Instead of cauls
Ing alarm, the action of the 'ederal
Ie'serve bo:rd shoulid, in fact, be re
garded as a favorable omen. High in
terest rates are the main reliance for
protecting bank reserves and they
spell not disaster but safety, pri'oviled
they are applied In time. Co'ntrol of
interest rates is the safe and eflective
way of dealing with such a situation
as we now face, and it is to be hoped
that nothing-not even the needs of
the United -States treasury-will divert
the reserve board from 'pursuing the
only sane and conservative course.
"The outlook for 1920 is for a con
tin uanee of a large demand for eredit
that will not be supplied except at in
creasing rates. liigh rates for bank
loatns will efentually tend to (check
the ipward movement of commodity
prices as they have already checked
the unward trend of security prices
and1 the volume of speculat ion on the
Newv York stock exchange."
Of the belief of somei bulsiness5 men01
that the whole economIc situation now
is abnormal tihe committee says: "b
normal it certainly is In many re
spect s. Pr'ices arue very high; ther'e
has been great expIanision or bank
('redIt; extr'avagant expendit urte, bothi
tpubl Ic andl prtivate, is found onI every

er's expiectedl a violent dr top in pi'ices
and a crisis in 19119. Tioday there
Seems to be0 less r'eason for expecting
such dlevelopmtenlts in 1920.''
Thie Ilar'vardl commtfitte'e on econonm

year mnonogr'aphs embodying special
studies of the prtinciplal econiomiic conl

If it is true that you are not feel

or enthusiasm--then you should be
careful of the influenza.
'it is thin-blooded, anemic people
that disease strikes first. The fact
that you have had a very few serious
illnesses has nothing to do with it.
Everyone gets run-down occasional

no condition to light off disease germs,
because it has not enough red cor
puscles. It is the red corpuscles of
the blood that fight disease and ,save
you from sickness.
You simply can't afford to take
chances when inuenza is striking
down thousands everywhere. Fortify
your blood-abuild it up with the pleas
ant tonic, Pepto-Mangan.
And should you be just recovering
from influenza, you need lepto-'Man

Pepto-Mangan is widely and hearti

either liquid or tablet form. No dif
