How to Cure a Cold.

The question of how to cure a
cold without unnecessary loss of
time is one in which we are all
more OF less interested, for the
quicker a cold is gotten rid of
the less the danger of pneumonia

B. W. L. Hall, of Waverly, Va,
has used Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy for years, and says: Il

Burt Peeler bought a fine mule

P. S. Kluttz sold even bales

Purity, veracity, honesty and
charity are great things which

Those who. value.them at all are
coming to value them more than

seem to be becoming more rare.
Now. that we again have the privi-
lego of casting Our votes for the
choice of men who are to fill high
positions of trust and response
bility, both in the national and
State governments, let us, as
Christian citizens pay due regard,
to the character of candidates as
we'll as to their platforms. When
party.policies differ soss.little as to
make it easy for .one party to ap-
proprjate the issues of the other
without reputation of it's own,
we may find that we have greater
liberty than ever in casting our
votes for the right men, without
the sacrifice of our political con-
victions. The best remedy for
graft, the only real remedy is to
keep g%rafters out office, The man
who does not stand for the basal
principles of Christian character
cannot be counted upon to make
or enforce sound laws for the pro-
lection and development of life,
property and happiness. The
man who is not pure, temperate,
true, honest and charitable, is not
fit for any position of trust, either
political or financial. We can
afford to be exactlng in these par
ticulars of men who offer them
selves for public services; we can
not afford not to be ~exacting.

POCKETS $1,000, 900 PROFIT.
Frick Sells His Speculative Commi
ments in Reading Common.

Friends of Henry c. Prick. who has re-
Gently become resident of New York, are
congratulating him upon his stock market
successes particularly his operations In
Reading common stock. 1t is said that Mr..
Frick has sold out practically all his specu-
lative commitments in Reading common
stock at a profit of at least 81. 100000 Init
mate associates of Mr. Prick estimated
yesterday that he had made even more
than that amount.
According to the story told in Wall street
yesterday Mr.. Prick began to accumulate
Reading when 1t was selling below $50 a
share. This occurred about year ago.
He accumulated altogether $1,000 full
shares. In slightly more than one year
the stock advanced 100 points. It sold at
100 yesterday, and on Tuesday last sold
UP to 1853. There Is good reason to believe
that practically all of Mr.. Tricks commit
ment OF 10000 shares have been sold In
the open market during the last two weeks.
The prices brought for the 5000 shares
ranged 100 points above the prices paid for.
the stock just a year ago. Those who took
the trouble to calculate the amount of profit
in the transaction found that Mr.. Frick Is
at least 100000 richer today than he was
a year ago.

Mr.. e. L. Jordan Of Ballston. Va, re-
Gently wrote letter to President Roose-
Welt. complaining of alleged insults to his
TWO daughters by party OF I'VE soldiers
OF the regular army from Fort Myer. The
girls. he explains. encountered soldiers near
the Virginia end OF Aqueduct bridge. The
men are charged with a ''dastardIy insult
and hold up The President, through Sec
rotary Loeb has replied to Mr.. Jordan and
promised an investigation Of the affair by
the War Department
Mr.. Jordan's letter to the President cites
all Of the details OF the occurance. He re-
fers to Similar Incidents on other occasions,
and protests against what he terms a
thoroughly Incompetent and insufficient
police protection at Rosslyn, Va" He also
charges in the letter that Deputy Marshal
c. H. Wiibert. who Is employed to police
the government reservation, and was on
duty at the time. neglected his duty, and
was guilty OF "tfmidfty. bordering on cow
ardice.'
The incident referred to occurred last
Friday evening. bfr. Jordan states that
his daughters were crossing the bridge TO
board q car for their home. When within
a few feet of the station OF the Falls Church
electric car line, he says, five soidie rs ac-
costed them. making insulting and indecent
remarks, and went so far as to physically
interfere with their free passage across the
bridge.
After reaching the railroad station. ac-
cording to the fathers story. they were
allowed to enter the station without repe-
tition OF tiae offense. but when they be-
came seated one Of the soldiers, says Nj.
Jordan came over and sat partly upon the
lap of one of his. daughters.
The young women are said to have: APP
pealed to Marshal Wilbert for protection.
Mr.. Wilbert, it is said, advised them to re-
tire to the waiting room on the inside OF
the station.

they were waiting young man. an &C

local FINANCIAL NEWS.

There was more Of the Capital Traction
stock from the same source as that OF yes
terday for sale at today's meeting of the
stock exchange. It was not much In guam
tity, something over one hundred shares,
but It was taken In quotation and In smaller
lots and on constantly receding scale OF
177ss to LAT.
When the trading ceased the stock was
Tor sale at LAT and the bid was within an
eighth OF It. which showed the character
Of the market. The bids which were made
so freely yesterday for OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
lots were made with more care today. in
view Of the experience of yesterday, when
apparently quite unexpectedly such bids
were filled. In consequence today the safe
distance, as It proved, OF 145 and 145h was
maintained. and on that level was esti,
there were bids FOR five or six hundred
shares on the floor.
There was no stock at that price, and
the seller of the previous lots, in order to
show, perhaps, that he had none at that
figure, made bid himself Of 146 for lO0
shares. He found no competitor, and as
he seemed to be the only one who had the
stock for sale. and he was not disposed
to sell to himself at that price, nothing
more was done.
Quite a good deal OF the preferred stock
Of the Washington Railway and Electric
were titken at that level and also at lower
figures down to SeN. An option was to be
had at 903z
An abundance of common stock could be
had at AN, and for a thousand-share lot
the bid rose as high as 42h. but nothing
was done with the large lots. Some quo
tation lots of fifty shares were disposed Of
on a range of from 421s to 43, and at the
close the stock was to be had at 427s An
option was offered at 43A.
The trading in gas stock assumed larger
proportions than usual as the selling of
options on 100-share lots was made fea-
ture. The selling of the stock in similar
blocks was also stimulated by those who
wanted to supply themselves with it for
the purpose of providing options.
The range Of the prices was. on a higher
level than has been reached for some time,
as the scale was from 60a to I'll. At the
close the bid was 60A and the asking price
ely It was thought by some that per-
of its periodical spurts.
There was good deal done In the COM
mon stock Of the Graphophone Company.
as some 500 shares were traded In at prices
from 5k to SIS.
Mitchell Mining stock, which has been
quite seller for the past two days, did
not figure much in todays transactions, and
the few lots that were sold did not make
any positive change in the record of the
prices.
There were some transactions in the bank
stock list, perhaps the most important being
the sale OF ten shares of the stock of the
National City Bank at 159k, which Is the
highest price paid as yet for the stock.
The bid remained at 13J
