Is In Sight and Will Come ON Long
Runs.
We note with pleasure that our
space-devouring friends at Zossen
for space and touched the record the
other day for no less than 40 miles
per hour They seem to be overcom-
ing air pressure rather comfortably up
to The present, and we have heard
nothing about the motors falling or
the pressure caying in the front end
of the car. Perhaps the doubling gem
tlemen who figured on the motors
burning out from overload at so miles
per hour to 100 miles per hour win
now be convinced that higher speers
are both possible and practicable. One
hundred and forty miles per hour is
a decidedly hot pace, but it will more
than likely be beaten before we go TO
press. 1t has taken a good many years
to evolve the two-minute trotting
horse, but this year we have him in
trlplicate, and just so ii has been with
electric railroading
Once the records began to break
they fairly blew up and left only small
fragments. One hundred and forty
miles per hour, even if not outdone by
a considerable margin, still means
that the hundred-mile-an-hour train is
much nearer to reality than it has
ever been before. That speed is quite
feasible whenever it is demanded, and
it is, moreover, quite high enough to
meet the requirements Of humanity
for some little time to come. It's real
Importance lies, as we have often re-
marked, in its application to long lines

material Cutting down the running

commercially important. 1t is cut
ting the time on long runs that counts
reducing the time to Washington TO
less than three hours, converting the

be large, but it is impossible at this time
to give any accurate figures. A report
has been received at Fort Sill that an

At Hobart, the county seat of Kiowa
County, the fire approached from the
east, destroying the stables and fifteen
race horses, fifteen residences, two bust

Late Thursday night the fire began
moving southwark toward Lawton. At
midnight 5000 people of the city were
fighting the fire. The advance line of the
fire was fully two miles in length. By
hard work they saved the town.
Stories are coming in of how families
lay out on the prairie throughout the
cold night after the storm had passed,
with only thin clothes on. Hundreds of
people are destitute and are suffering
intensely from the cold and their burns.

WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW
TENDENCY AS 4 WHOLE IS FOR
 CONSERVATIVES IMPROVEMENT.
Advices from the South are the Best That Come from East of the Mis- sissippi River-Iron Is Ir-
 regular.

New York, Sept. 15.-Bradstreets will say tomorrow: While there are diverse movements in domestic and foreign trade. the tendency as whole Is for improvement along conservative lines. Buoyancy in the stock market possibly largely manipulated. and the strength of cereal prices are factors stimulating to trade. but the advance of the fall season, with cooler weath- CT in some sections, and the prospect of good returns to the agricultural in- terests. despite the heavy shortage in the wheat yield, are all clements tend ing to encourage buying.
 The feeling in many lines Is that the season advances and the corn crop sit uation becomes clearer the need of ad- ditional recorders will result in fair volume of trade, comparing better last springs trade with the corre- spending period of 1908 Railway earn ings reflect heavy traffic, roads al- ready reporting indicating a gain of 3.4 per ceent over last August and the best ever recorded for that month.
 Telegrams to Bradstreets indicate a fair expansion in western trade, though buying from corn growing sections is still cautious. Trade is brisker at neary all Pacific coast points though San Francisco wholesale trade is rather smaller than expected. Southern trade advices are best from the section cast of the Mississippi.
 At the east jobbing trade in dry goods has improved at Boston and some rush orders for shoes are noted but shipments as whole for the year are seven per cent behind a year ago. Demand for dry goods at New York is hardly up to reasonable expectations as yet, though a good business Is do- ing. Higher prices for spring weight woolens are announced based on the strength of the raw material which is firmly held with an upward tendency. the statistical position being a strong one.
 The iron and steel industry like wise betrays irregularity. There is a better tone in raw materials gener- ally though prices are not notably changed. Assumptions of fursinhing mills and furnaces are numerous but against this are to be noted shut downs of leading harvesting concerns and car building interests. Reductions in price of finished steel have brought forth little new business at the east but plates and structural material are reported selling at the, west.

REBUILDING FOOD

What continued use of improper food will do by upsetting the nervous sys- tenn seems almost beyond belief and US just as surprising to see how a simple change from poorly selected food to good nourishing food will end all of these ails. A Chicago man says:
 My nervous system became so shat tered that whenever I looked at a nov ing object my right eye turned out to the side, my speech was stuttering, the memory poor and l was very absent minded. My face was covered with pimples and I was constantly ashamed of my appearance.
 The doctors said my blood was in A bad state and I took medicine for this for a year. but only got worse. Twas SO completely disgusted with every- thing l was tired of living. although I had no cause to be as far as friends and home were concerned.
 When medicine failed I tried eating only the plainest-foods. but this got tiresome and I did not seem to get enough nourishment until in my ex. perimenting I gave the food called Grape Nuts a trial. This seemed sc different from the rest, it seemed crIsr and full of nourishment and I ate it with cream for breakfast as well as dessert after the other meals. Almost immediately my nerves began to get stronger and steadier and sounder and I felt as though a great change was going on within me.
 The first effect I noticed was my right eye did not seem so loose in my head. I could look without seeing double and then I noticed that took more interest in life and was not suct chronic kicker my memory improved physical endurance was greater anC my sleep sounder and refreshing Tn. a years time had recovered en. tirely from the old absent -mindedness my complexion had cleared and Jeff me without any more Simples upon my race. all the old trouble with the eye IS gone for good and, to cut the llsr snort, why, l have sound nervous system. am stronger and healthier physically upon Grape Nuts diet. could write twice as much more aboui what this food has done for me.

Low temperature and some injury to crops provided the only adverse influence of the week and this has little effect upon started to prepare for increased busi- ness. Buyers of dry goods, clothing and millinery are notably active in placing orders and other staple lines banding confidence.
 Even if the oficial crop estimates of September 1 have to be moderately re- duced because of bad weather since growers in the enhanced prices and the strength of securities indicates the faith of the finahcial world. Many mills and furnaces have resumed be- cause of new orders or adjustment of wage scales and prices are steadier in most cases with general advance in , foot wear.
 Freight traffic blockades are not as frequent as they were at this time last year, yet there Is occasional complaint and earnings In September were 5 per cent larger than year ago.
 It Is not yet possible to report any material expansion In the demand for steel products as result of new price lists. Disappointment has been experi- enced by those who looked for an im- mediate rush Of orders. yet the business SeT- eral large orders for foundry and forge pig iron have been placed while other contracts are still pending.
 Evidence that buyers are becoming apprehensive regardinG the scarcity of cotton goods tends to encourage the feeling that mills will soon be called upon for liberal shipments. Yet the present condition of this industry Is no stronger. In the wooden division there was decided improvement in dress goods and fair duplicate orders were received in other lines.
 At the easier terms there has ap- peared a liberal demand for Chicago packed hides, fully 100000 being sold during the week. No recovery of price Is noted, however, and foreign dry hides are barely steady. Leather Is selling more freely

MIR. MIcKER,s SERMON.
He Spoke at Adams Street Church on
 "MarrfaEe.o


 A large and attentive congregation was present at the Adams Street Bap- tist Church last night to hear Rev. J. J. Wicker of Trenton. N. J.
 The service of song which preceded the sermon was made interesting by number of incidents connected with the composition of the hymns used. Sew eral requests for prayer were read. The rule adopted Is that requests for prayer must be received before 8 p. m.
 Mir Wicker preached on Marriage. or the Family Life" He said in part:
 sin is individual, and in cities where individuals are gathered in large mum . bers there Is much sin. The most im- portant thing in the world Is marriage or union with the Lord Jesus Christ. The next most important is the choice of a husband or wife. A Christian home in the jungles of Africa Is better than an unchristian home in the White House. An ounce of mother is worth a pound of preacher"
 MT. Wicker spoke of a wealthy fwo- man whose husband was a drunkard. and she wanted to lead him to Christ. temper, It was only when she gave up her sin, and met her husband in lovc that she won him.
 There was an ungodly husband, he said, who said he would not go to church unless his Christian wife went to the theatre with him; and, like 6 fool, she yielded. He went for a while, and then insisted on her going to the thea tre all the time. There can be no com promise with sin.
 '"The Christian must live a separated life" said Mir. Wicker. Card parties and theatres must be given up. A Christian husband has a hard time if his wife is not a Christian, and Chris tian wife will have a hard time If her husband is not Christian,
 Those who know us best know that the best of us are sinners. It's hard thing to be religious in your own home. There is nothing SO good as to have a Christian father and mother. Are there any fathers or mothers here whose children never heard them pray? How can a man drink and look in the Face of his children. and never pray for them, or never lead them to the house of God?"
 The preacher described two homes one of comfort and luxury. loving wife and children, but no prayer or Bible.

It's frozen beauty; 1t is a dead home, he said. The other home has some tenn poral surroundings, but before going to bed he reads few verses from tho Bible. and prays with them; then he hears them pray.
 That's a home" he said, "money can't make. The greatest men and women of this world have come out of small homes God has put emphasis on the family relation. beg you for the sake of your father, your mother. for the sake of Him who died for you. give your heart to Jesus Christ to- night"
