The Present Situation.

The present situation is thus summed
up by The Ice World of Albany. n. Y.
The report of the amount of lee on
the Hudson on, Sept 20. will be read
with surprise by many dealers, though
the number that have recognized with
in the last month that there would be a
quantity of Hudson river ice carried
over to next season has grown consid
erably AT least a quarter of a million
tons will be left when navigation closes.
but ii must be remembered, when reck-
oning on this amount as a reserve fund
for next year, what kind Of Ice il Is.
The greater part of that ice will he be-
low coxsackie, and up to that point
from the mouth of the river most of
the ice that was taken in last season
was not what would he called standard
Sc dealers find themselves keeping over
the ice that is not of good quality, and
which, owing to the dirt in 1t, will
waste much more rapidly. There Will
not be much money in that ice next
year if full crop of ice of average
quality is secured during the coming
winter
The Maine dealers will have good
average amount to carry over but their
ice is much cleaner. though owing to
tie haste in which much of it was
housed. proper planning and .scraping
Icing dispensed with, it will not keep
as we'll and safely as 1t ordinarily does
Nevertheless, the Maine stock will. in
all probability, be more valuable and of
more use to its owners in any circum-
stances than that which will be held on
the Hudson.
The Maine men are naturally very
much disappointed for they had every
reason to think that their ice would be
in good demand before this time. As ii
IS they, too. will have to carry over
50 me stock. Then. too. they did not
make as much money there as the
Hudson dealers. The latter were en-
aided to sell their ice though below
the best grade of Maine ice in every
way. for from 20 to 50 and even 40 cents
Il ton more. Ice was bought for 81 a
&C in a number of instances and a
'Slcat part sold from SO to 30 cents on
tie other hand the best the Maine pco-
re could do was 70. and in more than
orc case an offer of 60 was taken up in
glee.

FALL WEATHER DANGERS.
Much Sickness Expected by the
Authorities.
1913 !.
ssstl5 NsSst--.
Puriiana Recommended for the Public Health.

A long season Of hot weather has used
up the strength and pulled down the
flesh of many people. Their stomachs
have become week and fiaccid.
This is noticed especially in the case of
children whose digestions seem to be par
alyzed by the first cold wave. But it is
also true of grown people, who are sur
priscd that the cool days of approaching
fall make them feel worse, instead of
better. They have increased appetites
perhaps, but their enervated digestive
organs are unable to properly assmilate
their food.
The time Is coming for cold nights and
mornings and warm moons. The clothing
that is needed for the proper protection
of the vital organs in the early morning
becomes burdensome in the middle of the
day. 1t is the season of drafts and sud
den changes, which find the system but
poorly prepared to stand such strains.
Many deaths will result in this season,
but the chief effect will be in the general
loss of public health until the people in
the community have been enabled to ad-
Just themselves to the new climatic con-
ditions.
All doctors agree that great care is
needed both in food and clothing. IN
necessary exposure should be avoided, and
especially SHOULD the stomach be given
every possible assistance in its important
functions If the stomach is toned I'D
and invigorated, if the liver and kidneys
are kept in good working order, the
whole machinery of life is given strength
and renewed energy. The stomach is the
power producer Of the human body, and
92 per cent. Of all sickness comes from its
failure to do its proper work.
Physicians, chemists and practical
druggists who have administered and in
vestgated Puritana, the prize-formula OF
DIR. Dixi Crosby of Dartmouth College,
have publicly and privately stated that it
is the one safe and effective stomach rem

THE ICE TRADE
Estimated That 100000 Tons viii Be Car.
rlsd Over on kennebec.


The Ice World estimates the amount
OF Ice now in Hudson river houses at
'Vz,oo4 tons, and. says that 250,O00 tons
VIII be carried over to next year. Ordi-
nArily the Hudson surplus is 1,O0O, 900
tons, but this year the crop was ESQ, 900
tons short. 1t is said that $50, 900 tons
VIII be carried over on the Kennebec.
Inere Is every reason to believe that
the ice operators on the Kennebec will
Lave on hand when navigation ceases
nearly 2oO,000 tons. This amount will
DC carried over unless all signs fail now.
Ihere are no men foolish enough to
nope that the river can be cleaned out
OF ice, and matters have generally set
tied down to the understanding that
two-thirds of the amount now in stock
will be kept TIL next year
The ice Is of as good quality as was
ever cut on the river. 1t is however
not as well stored in some cases. owing
10 the hurry the operators We're in to
get their full stock while the second
1feeZe-oVef heid out. A good deal of
the ice was not as thoroughly scraped and
rlaned as 1t ought to have been to lie
well in the houses Aside from the
fact. however, that the stock win not
all keep as well as usual. the operators
would rather keep the ice trusting to
set better rate than the 20 cents they
are offered now.
Naturally most Of the trade now is
dull. The advent of cool weather has
fixed that. What ice is moving is on
contracts, and no new sales of any i'm
portance are reported. The weather
has been good for the past two weeks.

What Mr.. John p. Wyman Seys Of
Puritana.

Puritana.
The duties of his law practice make
Mr.. John T. Wyman an exceedingly busy
man, and yet, when asked by an &C.
quaintance what he knew about Puritana,
he took time briefly to recount his ex-
perience. Mr.. Wyman writes:
s. have long been subject to severe
headaches and to other symptoms which
seemed to indicate a nervous affection Of
the stomach. Some weeks ago it occurred
to me that there might be virtue in
Puritana, which was informed was tho
formula Of Prof. Dixi Crosby Of Darth-
mouth College. AS it gave evidence Of
being thoroughly good preparation, and
as there was chance that it might bring
me the relief which 1 earnestly desired, /
tried it to tie extent of several bottles.
81 am not enough of medical man
technically to diagnose my own case, or
absolutely to measure the benefit derived
from the use of Puritana, but know, az
fact, that after had been using Puri-
tana, had better appetite, better
nights sleep, and, practically, freedom
from headaches, which had previously
caused me much suffering.
"The result is that feel sure the credit
can fairly be given to Puritana, and,
while l am not licensed to prescribe any
medicine, am willing, on the basis of my
own experience, to express the opinion
that puritana is an important remedy for
troubles of the stomach and nerves"
