Many Sudden Deaths on Sunday.

Did you ever notice there are more
sudden deaths in Philadelphia on a
Sunday than any other day in the
week." remarked policeman. "It is
true, and the records prove it. The
police book in the electrical bureau in
the city hall contains this record.
Sometimes the fatalities of this nature
are double the number of any week
day. How do account for it? don't.
l simply hazard a guess or two. 1t
may be that folks eat more heartily
on Sunday, and this fact no doubt ag-
gravates certain ailments, bringing on
acute attacks of heart disease and indi-
gestion. For fifteen years l have no.
ticed the excessive number of deaths
on Sunday, yet have never heard any
one give reason other than l have
mentioned. d.'-Philadelphia Press.

was derived from the symathetic effect

created that leadership has been re-

the money situation, proving some
thing of a burden for that market to

more serious complexion than was the
case yesterday and the drawing out of

OF the outcome which is said to be an
influence on yesterdays reaction. But
these facts we're ignored and no at

In the past two days sold out and took
profits while some of the stubborn

tinued on fair scale and spinners bought
cotton when they could find it. There were

outlook was considered better than 1t has
