A RECORD

Bank Exchanges, Failures and

New York, April 7.-R- G. Dun & Co.s
Weekly Review Of Trade says:
Opening Of spring trade is not per-
ceptibly retarded by the partial inter
ruption to coal mining. except in the
immediate vicinity of anthracite mines.
High temperature not only %broadens
the demand for s~easonable merchan-
disc, but stimulates agricultural opera
tons, reopens northern navigation and
starts many contemplated building op-
erations. Were it not for q few labor
controversies, the commercial horizon
would be ~cloudless. But some manu-
featuring plants will be compelled to
suspend if the fuel supply is cut off,
and structural work is interrupted by
demands for higher wages in certain
localities That the year 1906 started
out to eclipse all records is evidenced
by bank exchanges Is per cent larger
than in the first quarter of h previous
prosperous year, while liabilities of
commercial failures averaged only 81
cents OF each $1,000 of solvent payments
through the clearing houses. which is
the lowest commercial death rate for
the first three months Of any year. The
average loss, If distributed through all
the firms in business, was only S24.S6 to
each concern, not a serious burden to
be borne by the mercantile world.
Railway earnings in March were So
per cent larger han last year, and
foreign at this port for the
last week showed gains Of $1,139, 1863 in
imports n 1881, $50 in exports as COM
pared with the corresponding week in
1905.
Progress in the iron and steel in
dustry has not suffered as vet from
the partial suspension of coal mining,
and new business comes forward each
week in great volume. Latest develop
ments are most pronounced in the
ume of new business is the onnage Of
steel rails that is rapidly closing order

In no Other Way Can Actions Of Cat
Be Explained.

AS striking cat story as | nave
heard in a long time comes from AL
ton, N. NJ, and is vouched for abso-
lutely, says a writer in the Boston
Record. The cat was accustomed to
visit the next door neighbor after each
meal to be fed and petted, bringing
also two kittens.
One of the women at the house thus
visited, who had entertained dislike
for cats, finally, on observing the ami.
NAL, expressed aloud a liking for the
gray kitten and said she intended to
ask to be allowed to keep it.
The next day when Mother Cat
came for her bits only one kitten ac-
companied her. but she took away
some choice morsels for the one left
at home. This continued several days,
when the woman who had first ex-
pressed intention to get the kitten
which the cat was feeding, remarked
that she had given up wholly the idea
of securing the gray kitten. All three
felines appeared at the next meal and
have done so since.

The AUrHoR-MANs SURPRISE

Hard to Guess.

Upon a certain day there was an
author-man who needed the money;
so he sat down and took up that OBJ.
ieet which is reputed to be mightier
than the sword and wrote a piece.
Having finished his article, he went
TO the post office, purchased some
milling stamps and mailed the piece
to the editor Then he waited for the
child of his brain to make its way
back to his mantel piece, accompan-
led by a warm note from the editor
saving that owing to redundancy
OF similar matter, he was compelled
to reject the piece. although this &C.
ton wrenched his heart strings to
such an extent as to almost drag that
organ from its mornings. However.
this rejection was to be considered as
in nowise a condemnation of the mer-

NO MEDICINE.
But Change of Food Gave Final Relief.

Most diseases start in the aliment-
airy canal-stomach and bowels.
A great deal of our stomach and
bowel troubles come from eating too
much starchy and greasy food.
The stomach does not digest any of
the starchy food we eat--white bread.
pastry, potatoes. oats, etc.-these
things are digested in the small intes-
tines, and If we eat too much, as most
OF US do, the organs that should di-
gest this kind of food are overcome
by excess of work, so that fermenta-
ton, indigestion, and a long train

In these conditions a change from
indigestible foods to Grape-Nuts will
work wonders in not only relieving
the distress but in building up
