UNITED RAILWAYS
BONDS co UP.
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

NEW YORK. Aug. 4.-There has
been a good deal Of quiet buying of the
bonds Of the United Railways Invest
ment Company of San Francisco which
has advanced them in about two weeks
from so3z to 81. This buying came in
fairly large volumes from San Fran
cisco and is for the account of people
who have knowledge of the earnings
OF the operating company.
The publication OF the earnings for
the last seven months of 1906 shows
that there was a decrease of only
100000, which is regarded as an in
significant amount as compared with
what many expected would be the de-
crease in view Of the situation The
actual earnings for the seven months
ending July 9 were s3.40s.212. against
sS.s2O,11o in the corresponding period
OF last year.
Many persons thought the earth
quake would about wipe out the COM
pany and consequently threw the
bonds and stocks on the market, caus-
ing a heavy decline.

Care was in camp. No one who had
noted the genial revelries OF life in the

Care" could get in, but the whispered
warning OF the spirits that dwell In tho
grove and abide by the stream was
accepted. No ono paused to inquire
whether Care was smuggled In with

The 0ppeallsiner Treatment
A Factor In Lie Insurance

IL Is well known that considerable
proportion of the applications for life in.
surance are rejected Oh account of phys.
icai conditions of the applicants, due in
great measure TO the presence of al
bumen or sugar in the urine A condition
indicating or threatening Bright's dis
ease is shown by the presence OF albu.
men and is fatal to the chances of being
accepted. \ condition indicating or
threatening diabetes is manifested by
the appearance OF sugar. Examining
physicians OF life insurance companies
always seek minuiely for symptoms
of these diseases, and If the slightest
indications are discovered that they
exist the applicant is sulnmarily re-
jected the risk being recognized as too
great.
In eases where the use of alcoholic
stiinulants has contributed to these
conditions it has been found that they
are amenable to proper treatment, and
permanent relief can he secured by
The taking of IL course of the Open
leimer Treatment for alcoholism. In
fact it can be safely stated that 96 per
cent of such cases thus treated are re-
stored to normal health. Not only have
patients been relieved of these infirm-
ties, but in numerous instances where
applicants have been refused by life
insurance companies they renewed
their applications and after passing Il
thorough examination were accepted
rs satisfactory and good risks.

iccted by several companies on account
Of albumen. by advice of his physician
he took the Oppenhcimer Treatment
for alcoholism. In Il few days the al
bumen entirely disappeared and his
normal health returned in short
time. He again applied for insurance,
and on account of the Importance of
the case was repeatedly examined by
several physicians and found to be eli
tirely cured of his trouble Since then
he has been accepted for all the nsur~
ance he desired to carry
The Oppenheimer Treatment for al
coholism is of such a character that
