THE TRADE SITUATION.
Ever known for February,
Says Pun.

New York March Ar. q. Dun a.
Co.'s review Of trade says:
THE business for the past month was
far the greatest ever known I'm February.
Clearing house exchanges were about So
600. 900, 0c0, against $3.50, 53, SA last year, and
H2 larger than in 1897. In all the years OF
weekly commercial reporting there has
been no other week In which the reports
from all parts OF the country have been
on the whole so good as they are this week.
Moreover. during the past week there has
been n general advance In wages. immedi-
ate or prospective. A. mes points the adj
vance OF ten per cent. or more was en-
tirely voluntary. II has averaged five TO
ten per cent. in tin plate works, and about
ten per cent. In other cases, and as Il affects
much over 10000 hands 1t Will add great
~ TO the purchasing power OF the wage
earners.
'The return OF failures in February.
while showing larger liabilities than in
January, are highly encouraging, A rath-
er unusuarnumber OF large failures In scat
tered branches or manufacture has swelled
the aggregate, including one concern for
81 .000,O 600 In electrical apparatus, but I'm
nearly all branches the statement indicates
n remarkably healthy condition In spite OF
these failures, while in trading the de-
faulted liabilities are smaller than in jan
uary or any previous winter month for six
years.
I'm prices the striking feature has been
the rapid advance In iron and steel prod
ucts, resulting from a demand greater than
the works In the country can supply. All
the works OF importance have been crowd
ed with orders running TO July and later.
Belated buyers have given life TO concerns
long inactive. and as these can add but lit
tie to the output. the markets have been
entirely controlled by the buying demand
All sorts OF prices nave been paid, some for
early delivery and some for delivery after
July 1.
Failures for the week have been IN the
United States, lS6, against 25i last year. and
IL In Canada, against 81 last year"

HEALTH IN THE HOUSEHOLD.
Injurious Labors I'm Home Life and
How They May he Avoided.

Among all the Notwithstanding occupa.
tions in which the housewife may engage
none is more productive OF harm than Is
the back-breaking, muscle-twisting, nerve
destroying operation of washing and scrub
bling clothes upon the ordinary wash-board.
The woman who stands over the tub inhal-
ing the hot. unwholesome yapors cannot
hope to maintain good health, TO say moth
ing Of the effect of being confined TO n
STOPPING, unnatural position, which, in time,
will wreck the strongest constitution. Do
not wreck health and happiness over the
washtub in this day of washing machines.
Get the best mechanism in this line and re-
lease yourself from the CALLING slavery of
the wash.board-that instrument of domes-
tic torture which is answerable for nine
tenths of the diseases with which our WON
ankind is cursed. Take, for example. the
Rocker Washer, which is the representative
product in this line, and compare its work
and its results with the labors of the old
style blue Monday" wash day. Not only
does this washer do the work in a fraction
of the time consumed by the old.fashioned
methods, but II does II much more thor
oughly, the clothes being whittier, sweeter
and cleaner than could possibly be the case
were the garments cleaned by hand.
For the convenience of our readers who
realize that the highest class article in any
department of domestic equipment is not
only the most satisfactory, but in the end
is really the cheapest, we would state the
washer IN question may be had from the
Rocker Washer Company, TT. Wayne, Ind.
The woman who insists upon continuing in
the health destroying methods and the man
who permits such a cruel and unnecessary
sacrifice has much 10 answer for. When
work can be done more quickly and far bet
ter without the slightest risk to health IL
is a crime 20 persist in what causes such
general and widespread harm. The woman
who discards the washboard for the Rocker
Washer will, at the end of the year, be
brighter, better, healthier and happier for
the change. and could never be persuaded TO
return again TO the days of her degrading
and unnecessary slavery j II. Meyers, M.
d., in American Journal Of Health.
