The Strenuous Life.
A Great Strain.

No one disputes the fact that we are living in rapid" age: 1t is rush. rush, from morning until night. and competition Is so fierce that the struggle does mol cease until the machine Is worn out. Women, too, even when surrounded by every comfort, become infected by the common spirit, and what with their clubs and many social duties. have no time te give thought to their psysical well-beinr until they are suddenly brought to a sharp realization of the fact that nothing in their lives is so important as attent ton to correct or rational living

WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW
AFFECTS OF THE UNsEAsoN.
 ABLY MILD WEATHER.
It Has Been . Boon to the Farmers, But the Merchants Have suf- fered from It to Some
 st Extent. r-

New York. Nov. CIR. c. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
 Unssasonably mild weather Is making it possible for farmers to secure much late grain and cotton that seemed doomed by early frost, but on the other hand trade Is dull in heavy wearing apparel. fuel and many lines that should now be wig orous. While in the long run this busi- ness may be made up and the nation will be benefited by the increased crops. the immediate effect Is unfayorabie. Man ufacturing activity has increased at cot ton mills and several minor industries, but in iron and steel there are more idle furnaces and mills, Building permits are decreasing and structural work Is not prosecuted with the vigor that was seen last year. Lumber Is firm despite the moderate demand. The railways, continue prosperous. earnings for october surpass- ing last year by 6 per cent.
 Disappointment has been experienced by those who believe that quotations for iron and steel would 90 no lower. Bessemer pig at Pittsburg holds fairly steady. but gray forge and Southern foundry irons are of 25 to 50 cents ton. while many forms of steel in finished conditions or partly manufactured. are weaker in price, although conditions improve insofar as the size of stocks Is concerned. Sheets, plates. bars and cut rails are among the articles on which reductions are reported and steel billets were put nearer parity with pig iron. the pool price being re- duced from $27 to $23. Rails are main tained at $2s for standard weight, the railroads constantly placing small orders. Reports of extensive export sales are heard and contradicted, but 1t is certain this branch of trade is reviving as prices become more attractive to foreign co l. sumers.
 With the extensive restriction on blast furnace activity there is retason to look for sfeadier markets in, the near future and throughout the industry 1t is be- iieved that large contracts will be placed whenever buyers are satisfied that no better terms can be anticipated.
 Less pronounced conservatism is shown by purchasers of cotton goods and there is evidently more desire to secure deiiv- cries without looking for concessions in prices.
 wooien goods are even more adversely affected by high temperatures. Many New England shoe factories have con- cluded fall business and are taking in- ventories. Hides have declined in a few isolated cases but the general impression is that the market has reached bottom.
 There were 246 failures this week in the United States against 253 last week: 27s the preceding week and 1sS the corre- spending week last year.
 Failures in Canada this week number 2, against IS last week. 2S the preceding week and 21 last year.

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL
Few People Know How Useful 1t is in Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal Is the safest and most efficient disinfec- tant and purifier in nature. but few real ize it's value when taken Into the human system for the same cleansing purpose.
 Charcoal is remedy that the more you take of 1t the better; 1t Is not 8 drug at all, but simply absorbs the gases and impurities always present in the stom- ach and intestines and carries them out of the system.
 Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking, drinking or after eating onions and other odorous vegetables.
 Charcoal effectually cleans and i'm proves the complexion, it whitens the teeth and further acts as a natural and eminentiy safe cathartic.
 It absorbs the injurious gases which col lect in the stomach and bowels; 1t disin- fleets the mouth and throat from the poi son of catarrh.
 All druggists sell charcoal in one form or another. but probably the best char coal and the most for the money is In Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges; they are composed of the finest powdered Willow charcoal, and other harmless antisepttcs in tablet form or rather In the form of large, pleasant tasting lozenges, the charcoal being mixed with honey.
 The daily use of these lozenRes will soon tell in a much improved condition of the general health. better complexion sweeter breath and purer blood. and inc beauty of 1t is. that no possible harm can result from their continued use, but on the contrary, great benefit.
 Buffalo physician in speaking of the benefits of charcoal, says. T advise stuarts Absorbent Lozenges to all pa tients suffering from gas in stomach and bowels and to clear the complexion and nIlrifV the hrRafh also believe the liver is greatly benefited by the daily use of them; they cost but twenty-five cents a box at drug stores. and although in some sense a patent preparation, yet I believe get more and better charcoal in Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges than in any of the ordinary charcoal tablets. eowk-tf.

rb. "New woman" in Abyssinia.

There is a remarkable community in Abys- sinia where the women without holding meet ings or agItations of any kind have enamel pated themselves. All the women work hard. while the men are idle. but oy way Of com nsnaation the house and all 1t contains belong to the wife. At the least unkind word she turns the husband out at night in storm or rain and he cannot come back until ho makes amends by the gift of a cow. The wife con- siders it duty to abuse the husoand. and if ghe were weak enough to show any love for him in life or grief at his death she would be scorned by her tribe.

Roosevelt and Free Labor.

President Roosevelt a been a for
tunate man in many ways, but if it be
true hat organized labor is going to
fight his nomination and election next
year on the ground that he is opposed
to discrimination between American
citizens in government employment it
is probable that his election will have
to be conceded in advance.
OF the 10000, 900 people IN the United
States who are engaged IN gainful
pursuits not more than 1000, 900 are
members of trades unions of n de-
scription. If these 100000 attempt to
set up a kind of aristocracy in labor
from which $4,000, 900 ordinary Ameri-
cans are to be excluded the nance
are that the large number will be
heard from with considerable en-
phasis al the polls.
The best thing thai could happen to
a candidate for the presidency at this
time who is not quite sure of a follow
ing sufficient to carry him into the
White hous would be the antagonlsm
Of this narrow proscriptiVe class. The
more vigorous the attack they make
upon him the more votes will he re-
ceive from the vastly larger element
which is not under the delusion that
class societies organized and conduct
ed in many places in violation of law
are going to rule this republic now or
