Show o THE "MORNING AFTER" Anyone who has indulged in strenuous exertion knows what "getting the second wind" means. There are a lot of people and a lot of industries getting their "second wind" in a business and financial way today. Those industries and individual's with constitutions strong enough to stand the "reducting process" of the past two years have sweated off their overload of fat, secured their "second wind" and are ready for real work. There is nothing unusual about the experience we have been through. It was a whole lot like a great national banquet. Most v of the guests not only gorged' themselves on healthful food, but ate all the indigestible viands they cound swallow. Their "morning after" was inevitable. But it was so severe that many of them are still frightened of all nourishment good as well as bad. Retrenchment, economy and starvation diets, now being practiced in the extreme, do as much harm as the reign of gluttony glut-tony and extravagance that preceded them. The nation now depends on the men and industries that have their "second wind" and are ready to proceed on a normal diet of production and earnings.
