on the local stock exchange, which -
shown in part by the transaction and also
by the advance in the quotations in the
case Of some Of the more active securities
has apparently resulted in attracting the
attention Of the public.
At least the attendance today OF outsid-
ers was larger than has been the case Tor
months past. The trading, however, did
not amount to much az far as volume was
concerned but the higher level which has
been reached, especially In the case of the
stocks OF the Washington Railway and
Electric Company, was maintained. and at
the closing bids recorded were higher than
those Of yesterday.

went at 571s, which Is less than the current
figures for this stock in recent days. The
bid, however, came within an eighth OF
point Of this level. but without result.

Monday next, which Will be the 1st Of
october, will be the pay day Of the quar-
terly and semf-annual interest and divi-
dend period. Locally good deal of money
will be disbursed by various corporations
and Institutions. It is estimated that the
corporations represented on the list Of the
local stock exchange will pay out about
half million Of dollars to meet these
obligations.

ket Is easier when this period Is passed.
and no doubt that is the case both here
and in the broader market where much
larger disbursements are made.

of the society that the Ohio women dis
claim any past connection with the Daughters,
who they say have acquired reputation for con-
tentiousness.
Yesterdays programme was a musical given by
Miss Effie Stewart, who prefaced each song with
a little sketch OF Its composer. Preceding the
cital, Mrs. Fabus NJ. Clarke read a sketch of Dan
Emmett, the author OF Dixie" whom she claimed
as son of Ohio. He was born in Mount Vernon,
York, in 1859 Even fair Dixieland itself Mrs.
Clarke would not allow the South to claim. The
word came, she said from the Dixy estate Man

forced by the growth of anti-slavery sentiment IN
the North to sell his slaves. The longing OF these
blacks for their old home and master gave birth
TO Dixie.

CONDITION SHOWN BY NAILS.

Many woman who aims to be we'll groomed is
discouraged when she gets to her nails how
many ridges and spots they have. The ugly CORFU
cations in nails. physicians say. come from a
equity tendency In the blood The spotslittle girls
welcome them promises of so many future
sweethearts-are due to faulty liver. Careful
manipulation Of the nails with cold cream to soften
them, and later persistent rubbing with the buff
fer TO promote the circulation will do much dis
sipate these flaws. Health plays a more prominent
part in all these details than the average woman
likes to give it credit for. II the blood be poor,
the hair has deadly way of falling out and no
ointment or massage purchased at high price
is so efficient in inducing 1t to stay in good
tonic with iron in 1t. The hair is of the COM
paratvely unin1portant parts. of the body from
which the nourisnment OF the blood is earliest
withdrawn when one gets run down" The
cheeks are another. That is why looking a bad
color" is so much more vital than many women,
with their confidence n rouge and electric mas
sage and astringent wasles and on, apt to
suppose. The fngernas another of these
small telltale points. So, however keen the fas-
idious woman may be with her manicuring, let
her not forget that the ridges and spots are more
than merely ugly-they danger signals to be
taken seriously and promptly.
