THE GOOD OLD WAY.

A severe cold or attack of la grippe If
like fire, the sooner you combat it the
better your chances are to overpower it.
But few mothers in this age are willing
to do the necessary work required to
give good old-fashioned reliable treat
ment such as would be administered by
their grandmothers, backed by Boschee's
German Syrup, which was always liber-
ally used in connection with the home
treatment of colds and is still in greater
household favor than any known rem
edy. But even without the application
of the old-fashioned aids German Syrup
will cure severe cold in quick time. It
will cure colds in children or grown peo-
pie. IT relieves the congested organs,
allays the irritation, and effectively stops
the cough. Any child will take it. It
is invaluable in household of children.

CAN'T HANDLE The TRADE
TRANSPORTATION FACILITIES
ARE PUT TO A SEVERE TEST.
Shipments of Merchandise in Re
Spouse to Demands and Spring
Trade Are Very Heavy.

New York, March 25-R. G. Dun &
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says:
Spring trade responds to seasonable
weather, and shipments of merchandise
have increased so rapidly that railway
facilities are severely taxed At many
points there is complaint of car and mo-
tive power shortage. and navigation on
lakes and rivers at the north has not
opened up as promptly as business de-
mands. The customary damage from
floods has rendered many mills idle, and
several minor events added to the num-
Der of unemployed, but these temporary
adverse features are more than offset by
the resumption of outdoor work, espe-
cially in building operations and on the
farms. Buyers are arriving in large
numbers at primary markets, warm
weather accelerating preparations for
easter trade. Manufacturing activity
continues, the best news of the week
coming from the iron and steel indus
try, where new records are constantly
established.
Failures this week numbered 255 in
the United States, against 226 last year,
and 16 in Canada, compared with Is q
year ago."
Bradstreet's says: While rejecting ir-
Irregularities, due to rainy weather at the
east and south, high water in central
western rivers, and poor conditions of.
country roads generally the volume of
distributive trade and the movement of
industry hold the increase record last
week. From the south, in fact, the tenor
of advices is even better. Retail trade
at the large cities is livening up as spring
advances. Crop reports, especially
from winter wheat, are increasingly IA
vorable, notably in the southwest. Rail-
way earnings reflect a heavy grain
movement, large movement of iron
and allied products, and heavy mer-
chandise shipments in an increase of
nine per cent. for the first half of
March. Money has hardened at num-
Der Of cities, but collections still lag.
Especially active lines of trade are dry
goods, shoes and clothing, notably at
the west. Lumber, hardware, paints and
oils reflect in country wide, the ap-
proach of an active building season, and
hides and leather are active and firmer
at leading west and eastern markets.
Farm machinery and implement dealers
report demand active in the northwest"
