New York. March 6.--Stocks were dull
during the greater part of the day. The
total sales were only 1929 shares, in
GLIDING 48,300 Tobacco; 20 500 Baltimore
and Ohio; 90 St. Paul, and 1920 SUI
gar. Apathy characterized the dealings
until the last hour OF business, when
fairly large amounts of Tobacco came
upon the market The late decline in
the general list was due to an unfounded
report of the serious illness of J. r. Nor
gan, and to vague rumors from Wash
ington that the President would endorse
the action of Congress In the Cuban
matter. Tobacco and Chicago Gas were
the particularly weak spots. Tobacco
fell from 76A to 1888. and closed at the
lowest point of the day. Professional
operators were the heaviest sellers of the
stock on Western reports that the oppo-
sit1on concerns were cutting into the
revenues Of the company Chicago Gas
Tell to 654, from 667s. on the announce
ment that there would be no decision in
the reorganization case until October.
Rubber common dropped from 25 to 221a
and later returned to 2i% The dissen-
sions In the directory caused the break
Sugar and General Electric were compa-
ratiVely, firm throughout. London bought
little ST. Paul and sold some Louis
VILE and Nashville, but the foreign ope-
rators had no special influence Balti-
more and Ohio fell to H. on fears of a
big assessment and then returned to 14Ts
on cutting of short contracts The de-
Cline in the other railway issues ranged
form L to lls per cent. The closing
was weak. Net changes show losses of
Il 42ss per cent; Tobacco leading

footed up s9S3,00O.

Take her up tenderly-
Lift her with care.
Fashioned so tenderly-
Young and so fair.
Look at her garments
Clinging like ccrements
Whilst the wave constantly
DripS from her clothing;
Take her up instantly,
Loving, not leathing.
Gross her hands humbly,
AS IL praying dumbly,
over her breast!
Owning her weakness,
Her evil behavior,
And leaving with Weakness
Her sins to her Savior"

There is suicide by knife, by pistol by
hanging by drowning. by jumping, by
escaping gas, by burning charcoal, and
by the various RoiSonS, as morphine
strychnine; arsenic. prussic acid. and
various other drugs.
But there Is still more common and
much more Important form of suicide.
1t Is suicide by ignorance or neglect.
~ man or woman can as easily and as
certainly commit suicide by failing to
filter out OF the body the uoisonS and
impurities that collect in II.
They are forming every minute and
every second of your life--by day and
by night.
Every time your brain thinks. your
hand moves your heart beats, your lungs
down into waste material.
This waste ma terial is poisonous and
nature intends its removal as fast as il
Is made.
This is the work your kidneys have to
do.
If they are weak, sluggish. inactive OF
diseased. they do not do it.
Poisons that should be promptly
thrown out then collect in the system and
clog and poison every organ.
Perfect kidneys mean perfect filtcrinE
