DIR. HATCH an eminent anatomlst OF
of New York claims to have obtained a
serum that will prolong life in the
human being from 30 to 40 years. The
doctor noticed that certain animals as
the elephant, crocodile, parrot and
whale become very old and on disco
ton found that they possessed certain
glands which were very well developed
He then proceeded to make serum
from these glands and that serum seems
to solve the mysteries OF old age
When injected into an old, decreplt
man it transformed him to a man in his
prime, the change in some instances
taking place in an hour while in others
il required from one to three months
but proved to be success in every case
where tried. If the good doctor Is
right man at 60 will just be entering
on his best years.

THE BOARD OF TRADE

Manitowoc is now the possessor OF a
board Of trade and most of our citizens
wonder what it is like and how it is run
and for their benefit we publish the
following facts.
1t is place where railroad stocks or
bonds may be bought or sold, you can
buy them for investment or buy and
sell them figuring on margins Of gain
only. For instance take the Chicago
Milwaukee and St Paul railroad stock
that was on the market Tuesday morn
ing at 1873 if You desired to purchase 20
shares (the smallest amount that Is sold
on the local board you had to put NJ
10000. After little the stock
rose to 1886. and finally 1877 if you sold
out ut 1856. you would have made pro.
fit OF $40. 90 less the brokers commission
for making the deal. The broker gets
/ point commission for buying and for
selling or in this case railroad stock
being point stock your 300 90 being .
point on 20 shares the broker would re-
ceive 800 and if you sold out at l37
your gain would have been $500 and
$1,000 for any point gain thereafter.
OF course stocks can 20 down and in
that case you are the looser. There Is
however a way Of selling stocks short
as it Is called for instance if the above
was at 49, and you felt certain that it
would go lower you would sell say e
shares then afterward it dropped down
TO 1864 or 1876 and you bought back 81
making the difference Of or points
as profit While this is the way in
which stocks are daily bought and sold
there is very little Of that business done
here but considerable grain, wheat
corn and oats is bought and sold here.
The method in that case il ~ follows,
the smallest amount that is handled If
1000 bushels and for every bushel You
are required to put up, that Is pay

bushels of wheat at Y cents you paid

INDIAN SUMNER

The air is soft and balmy and full of
hazy threads, the first sharp frosts are
over, the leaves are turning red, wearing
their most beautiful clothes before leav-
ing; the flowers look brighter than ever
rs though reckoning the beholder to en-
ioy them as but a few days more re-
main. The crops are in and the farmer
now turns his attention to the apples
laughing brightly in the sunlight,
while the children scamper to the woods
to head of the squirrels in gathering
nuts. This is the Indian summer the
incest time OF the year IN Wisconsin.
In former years the red man strolled
listlessly through the forests while the
squaws gathered the crops, preparing
for the long and cold winter. The red
man is gone, but whenever this time OF
the year, so dear to him, arrives, it seems
as though his white brother has the
same longing for the woods and those
that have hurried and worried all sum
mer expecting the time to visit nature
TO last forever, notice that it has almost
slipped by and rush out for few
draughts of pure air, before the icy
blasts confine them to the house. The
sun has lost its sting and steals mildly
through the red and golden leaves, the
air is still, the birds are preparing to
leave US, the squirrels are chatterine
and peace and quiet prevails. 1t is a
time to make one forget the hustle of
the world and enjoy natures beauty.
But u few days more and all will be
changed SO all that can, make haste,
before the opportunity is over.

Deafness Cannot BE Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion OF the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition Of the mucous lining of the
Eustach ian Tube. When this tube is
inflamed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever. Nine cases out Of ten are
caused by Catarrh, which is nothing
but an inhamed condition Of the
mucous services.
