TRADE IS PLENTY.
Congestion Grows Worse and
Prices Still Tend Upward.

New York. Dec. 7.-R. C. Dun &

Current trading is of ample dimen-
sion, but traffic congestion grows worse

barrassment of shippers. If consign
ments of fancy goods for the holiday
trade are delayed much longer, there
will be serious loss. Prices of commOd-
tiles tend upward.

TRY ON THE DOGS.
New York Man Thinks He Has q
Chemical That Will Kill.

People who want to rid Kansas of the
prairie dog pest continue to write to the
Kansas people Offering their services.
Secretary Coburn has just received a
letter from III. F. Worden, of Dresden.
N T., who says he has a Clientele
which is sure death to prairie dogs, and
ne wants a chance to try it on those in
Kansas. He says:
I have been reading in the papers
that you can't get anything to kill the
prairie dogs in your state. I have a
chenicle that will kill them. If you
wish to give me a chance to try them,
let me know as soon as you can, and
let me know the terms you want to
make l will guarantee to kill them
or no pay for my trouble
Another man who lives at Piedmont,
S. D., also has a sure cure for the
prairie dog evil. He wrote to the post
master at Kansas City, Kas., as fol-
lows:
I understand that the prairie dogs
are about to take some parts of your
country; that they are bothering the
farmers and cattlemen SO bad that they
want to find a remedy. I have a rem

delicate stomach is worth knowing Of
A good wife out in Alta. Ia, who did
not know which way to turn to get food
that would agree with her husband who
was left in weakened condition after
a serious illness and could scarcely re-
tain any food in his stomach, was one
day induced to try him on Grape-Nuts,
the famous ready-cooked breakfast
food, and from the first he began to inn
prove rapidly. In three months he had
gained 80 pounds.
She says that his stomach has re-
covered so completely that he can now
eat any kind of food.
She mentions the boy of an intimate
acquaintance, who was so delicate and
thin that his appearance was pitiable
and he had no appetite for any ordinary
food. He was put on Grape-Nuts and
liked the crispness and sweetish taste
of the new food and took it. His i'm
provement began at once and he is now
a healthy, plump boy.
Il know that Grape-Nuts will do more
for weak stomachs than any medicine.
The claim that it will build up and
strengthen the brain has been proven
to my certain knowledge. Sister, who
