3. In the physical, we find the body very good in most respects. There needs be precautions taken as respecting the equilibrium, and as regarding the digestive system, that there be more in the nearer normal conditions, that the physical may be able to care for the conditions as are presented to the body from time to time. In the diet, keep nearer to those that are of an alkalin nature, and especially when body under stress physically and mentally do not over eat. Ready for questions.
4. (Q) Will the ... Stores continue under present supervision, or do they intend to liquidate? (A) There have been those negotiations as respecting liquidation, and the changes in the supervision.

(A) This, of necessity, will be taken care of in some changes that may occur; or, being forewarned, the body may take those of the offers as are being presented in the same fields, under different conditions. These the body should be governed rather by the circumstances and the conditions as arise.

there be the necessity of suggesting cash settlement.
7. (Q) Should I suggest a settlement on the lease of the Union City store which I hold for seven years if I release them from the lease? (A) Do not release them from lease, for this is desired to be held, and is a DESIRABLE lease, under the present circumstances and conditions.

10. (Q) Would the sacrifice of my position warrant the taking over of this store? (A) Not under present circumstances and conditions. Don't be too hasty.

12. (Q) What kind of terms should I make to obtain one or both stores? (A) Let first the SUGGESTION come from those with whom the contract is held.

13. (Q) Give other suggestions for this project, and along what lines should body continue? (A) Under the PRESENT lines, in the very near future.
