Analysis of Medicines Open to All.

"There is no public demand and
there is not the slightest public neces-
sity for law compelling the publi-
cation OF the formula of proprietary
medicines" says the Committee on
Legislation of the Proprietary Asso-
citation. Every Health Commissioner
and every Pure Food Commissioner
in the country, as well as every pri-
vate physician or chemist, if he
pleases, has the right to make an
analysis of any proprietary medicine
and to publish the result and to tell
the public what he thinks, and there
is nothing in the world to prevent
such action. But that is not what the
agitators for such legislation want.
Their object is to destroy the sale Of
such remedies entirely"

THE SANITARY ONION.

properties of an onion" said trained
nurse "It is my custom to introduce
an onion into every sick room where
I am called in, hanging it up some
where. I believe it attracts all mala-
dies and infections to itself. Vlolets
and roses and lilies are very pretty
in a sick room, and the patient IS
doubtless cheered when his friends
think enough of him to send them, but
practical friendship would dictate that
a basket of onions be sent. There is
something about them hostile to dis
ease. The juice of an onion is q cure
for deafness, a roasted onion rene
dies earache and gumboils, and onions
and holly berries bruised together are
a certain cure for chillblains. A pOul-

A nervous, irritable mother, often on
the verge of Mysteries, is unfit to care
for children it ruins a child's DISPOSE
ton and reacts upon herself. The
trouble between children and their
mothers too often is due to the fact
that the mother has some female weak
ness, and she is entirely unfit to bear
the strain upon her nerves that govern
ing children involves; it is impossible
for her to do anything calmly.
The ills of women act like frebrand
upon the nerves, consequently nine
tenths of the nervous prostration. ner-
vous dependency. the blues" sleep
lessness, and nervous irritability of
women arise from some arrangement
of the female organism.
Do you experience fits of depression
with restlessness, alternating with
extreme irritability? Are your spirits
easily affected, SO that one minute you
laugh, and the next minute you feel
like crying?
Do you feel something like ball ris-
ing in your throat and threatening to
choke you all the senses perverted,
morbidly sensitive TO light and sound;
pain in the ovaries, and especially
between the shoulders; bearing down
pains; nervous dyspepsia, and almost
continually cross and snappy?
If SO, your nerves are in shattered
condition, and you are threatened with
nervous prostration.
Proof is monumental that nothing in
the world is better FOR nervous prostra-
ton than Lydia F.. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound; thousands and thou
sands of women testify to this fact.

tendent, you are not the bird we arc
after. All this Sandman affair does
not interest us, any more than to show
you our power. The man we want is
the man who first employed you to
kill Alice Graviscourt, and then to
kill Maligni and Nita Barlotti Ralph
Graviscourt is your master, and it is
for you to choose whether you or he
suffers the penalty for the crimes"
The Italians face flushed with hope
as he heard this, and looked from one
of us to another in vain search for a
look Of pity.
What do you want of me?" he
asked.
1--WE want a full and succinct state
ment from you Of Graviscourt's crimes
and yours, telling how the infant,
Alice Graviscourt, disappeared, and
how the smallpox fraud was perpe-
trated, hiding nothing, but revealing
everything. That is what we want
of you
"And then what will you do with
me?" asked Sigmotta.
Hold you until the truth of your
statement is proven, and then release
you"
There was a pause. The major
walked back and forth uneasily. Thor
lane sat as calm as Byrnes himself.

mo. The stenographer will take
down your words, and then put it in
proper form for your signature"
And then began the unraveling Of
the last knot in the exciting mystery
of the Graviscourt millions.
Graviscourt met us, as he had al
ways met us, with the placid smile
and the suave dignity of the man of
wealth, leisure and culture. There
was, perhaps, a degree of pallor in his
face that was unusual, but this might
easily be attributed to the return Of
rival whom he had believed dead and
out of his way.
He greeted me cordially, however,
and congratulated me upon the fact
that the rumor OF my demise was I'M
founded.
He led us into his cozy library-the
very room in which Dilkins had dis
covered the photograph Of Alice Ora
viscourt-and placed chairs for us and
urged us to sit down.
There were four of us: the major
Thorlane, myself and a special office
in citizens dress, detailed by Byrne
to accompany us and to take Crawl
court into custody. | had insiste
upon my plan of action being followed
which was to proceed to Graviscourt'
rooms, unmask his villanies there, an
read to him the statements of Dambt
and of the two Sigmottas. When this
had been done, it was to be the Off
GERS duty to arrest Graviscourt, and
my connection with the case ceased.
1t must have been clear to Gravis-
court that something serious was com
ing, for the major was as glum and
grim as an old warrior could be, and
the stern face of Thorlane must have
seemed to Graviscourt an i'll omen.
But no sign of trepidation showed
in his manner, and he politely offered
us cigars and wine, which we all de-
clined, while he waited for us to an
nounce the object of our visit.
The moment was a painful one, and
although I had worked for this mans
downfall, now that / had the weapons
wherewith to destroy him in my hand,
| sincerely pitied him. But there was
no receding now, and l plunged at
once into the subject.

PROFIT TAKING WAS
 FEATURE OF DAY Prices Ended Generally Lower
 Than on Friday ST. PAUL KEEPS HER GAIN
Disposition to Diminish Outstanding Contracts Was Probably Empha-
 sized By Possibility of Naval
 Engagement in Far East.

New York, April 15.-After yesterdays furious speculation in stocks a moment to take profits was indicated for today and it developed accordingly. Prices ended generally lower than last night and, the transcontinental group and stocks which have moved in sympathy with that group are not the least suf- ferers notwithstanding the buoyant up- shot in the first hour, St. Paul alone of the group reserving a meagre gain on the day after having been at one time more than ? points up.
 Union Pacific, New York Central and Illinois were also lifted a point lE the early market, but closed at net losses of over a point for the two first and of 2is for the last. In the curb market Northern Securities itself was rushed up to 1S5ss, but fell back at the last to lSlss. The whole market centered around these movements and was not in any degree responsible to any. of the news developments.
 A denial by the head of the Great Northern, and of the Northern Securities company of yesterdays rumors of stock divided by the former company had no Influence in deterring the continuance of the rush to buy the stocks concerned at first, nor did the news favorable to values serve to hold the later market. The trading represented purely an episode in the progress of an unrestrained specula- ton The natural disposition to diminish outstanding contracts at the close of the week was probably emphasized by the possibility of a naval engagement in the east over the Sunday interval The in- crease of bank deposits by reason of the loan expansion did not impair the sur plus as the cash increase was more than sufficient to meet the added requirements. Mercantile reviews confirmed other evi- dence Of active and prosperous trade con ditions. The abstract of the country's s total foreign trade for March showed that the increase In value of agricul- tural exports received handsome addi- ton from the increase in manufactured exports, the combination being sufficient to almost equal the extraordinary in- crease in the value of imports, and to leave the trade balance in our favor prac- stically equal to that of March in the preceding year. The money market was nominal as is usual on a Saturday, but foreign exchange moved up several points.

demonstrated by prices refusing to be held down. and has effeetually neutralized the effect, and has been a main influence in prompting the renewed advance. Buy ing back or stocks by operators who sold short early in the week during the prevalent doubts over the market, has been a factor in the recovery, but the prosperous condition of business and h. custry in all lines has been the potent un- deriving support of the market. Belief in mergers and wholesale readjustment of the railroad map of the country has awakened again and prices have again mounted The stability of the wheat mar ket helped to disslpate apprehension on this score but of much more effect was the easy absorption of liquidation in stocks. On the other hand small offerings were brought out when very active de- mand for stocks developed. Another in. cident which developed the same kind of resistance was the displacement from the directorate of the Northern Secur- ities company of the head of the Union Pacific system.
 This was a shock to the speculative con fidence engendered by the constant ru- mors of the harmonious plans for new projects jointly contemplated by the two parties to the old dispute. At the same time the suspicion got abroad that the Union Paoific's- S100000,000 preferred stock Issue was intended Tor beiltgerent pur- poses One of the few official intlmations which could be secured as the intended uses of this new capital was that 'it was considered wise in time of peace to prepare for war" The supposition that the issuance on Monday of the court 8 mandate of the redistribution of the Northern Securities assets would be the signal for announcement of general re- adjustments of railroad relations, sprang into full force again, and showed all it's old power upon the speculative imagin- ation. The presence of the Russian fleet in the China seas caused some reflected unsettlement from foreign stock markets, and the effect on the international money exchange was an influence on our early market.
 The foreign trade statement for March had a reassurlng effect regarding the foreign exchange outlook, the great outgo of corn having served to more than over come the paralysis of the export wheat trade, while the great volume of cotton exports has served to overcome the fall in the price of that staple compared with last year and so restore the value of the export to above those of March, 1904. The statistics of the production and consump- ton of iron for March revealing a ton mage which reached the two million mark for the first month in our history. con hrmed the impression of the brilliant state of that great basic industry, and gave additional authority to the incoming flood of reports from almost every line Of industry.
