NEW YORK, February PA bond man
figured out today that an investor In Con-
solidated Gas stock, who might be worried
over the decline in his shares and the out
look for his 8 per cent dividend. should be
able to save his peace of mind by selling
his stock and buying an equal par value
amount of the debentures 6s which are
convertible at par into stock after July
next year. He would receive the difference
in price between the stock and the bonds,
and per cent interest on the bonds Plus
accrued interest, and would be able to get
his stock back next year II he wanted to.
There Is a disposition in some quarters
to exalt Baltimore and Ohio at the expense
OF Pennsylvania Considering the fact that
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company Is the
largest beneficiary of any favorable devei-
opments in the Baltimore and Ohio, this
would seem about as absurd as to magnify
the advantages of Southern Pacific 10 the
disadvantage of Union Pacific. Directly and
indirectly the Pennsylvania owns S2s,4 oo,oou
shares of Baltimore and Ohio per cent

About 81 per cent of the Baltimore anu
Ohio's annual dividend disbursement goes
into the Golfers of the Pennsylvania system

income. This is not to say, however, tnat
Baltimore and Ohio common Is not seliing
at too low a price. Some competent Judges
consider it intrinsically one of the cheapest
stocks on the list AT III it yields more
than Az per cent to the purchaser. Last
year the margin after dividends on the
common was sufficient to have made dou-

When the Wabash issues began to move
up so strongly last week Wall street sus-
pected that some important financing was
in prospect. 1t is now understood that con-
ferences have been held between represen-
tatives of the company, certain banking
houses and the committee which has begun
litigation to enforce payment of interest on
the debentures, looking toward the for
mutation of plan to convert the debenture
issues into fixed charge securities by the
creation of a mortgage large enough to &C

Henvx Horses.

Farm horses are growing larger. This
Is especially noticeable in the more lev
NJ sections of the country. Twenty tive
years ago it was common TO see a. man
following two ten UNDERGROUND
horses and an eight or ten-foot drag.
Now on the same farms may be seen
three-horse teams, each horse weighing
fourteen or fifteen hundred pounds,
dragging a steel harrow cutting from
eighteen to twenty-four feet wide. The
three horses do not get tired and the
chances are the driver has a harrow
cart, so he don't get tired, and instead
of narrowing ten acres in day he gas
over twenty-five or thirty acres aDd

farm are larger and sometimes are
worked in gangs. In this way one MIN
is doing the work of three by utilizing
more power. 1t is the modern way of

A Large connection.

A Chinese cook in one of the homes
across the bay from San Francisco was
terribly worried about his cousins who
were in the burning town. Sing knew
that Chinatown had been destroyed.
He had tried to go across TO rescue his
relatives, but nobody was allowed to
land.
He went about his duties with lag
ging footsteps and mournful face. For
two days he ate nothing, and the SYM
patty of the entire family was extend
ed to him in his trouble. At last, he
appeared one morning at breakfast
time with face wreathed in smiles.
"Me found cousins" he announced,
joyfully.
On being questioned, he said that
they were lodged in the two rooms
which he rented for his own use in the
lower part of the town. They were all
well and he was "'velly happy" He
took forty pounds of rice to them that
they might not be hungry.
But, Sing, how many cousins have
you? Forty pounds seems a great
deal"
He smiled his charming Oriental
smile and spread his hands: me

When physician tells a woman, suf-
fering from female trouble, that an
operation is necessary it, OF course,
frightens her.
The very thought of the operating
table and the knife strikes terror to
her heart. AS one woman expressed
it, when told by her physician that she
must undergo an operation, she felt
that her death knell had sounded.
Our hospitals are full of women
who are there for just such operations!
1t is quite true that these troubles
may reach stage where an operation
is the only resource, but such cases are
much rarer than is generally supposed,
because a great many women have
been cured by Lydia E. Pinkhar's
Vegetable Compound after the doctors
had said an operation must be per-
formed. In fact, up to the point where
the knife must be used to secure instant
relief. this medicine is certain to help.
The strongest and most grateful

women who, by taking Lydia E. Pink

An excellent way to keep cabbages is
to put them close together, roots in the
ground. and cover them, so as to pro-
tect against rain, first placing salt. hay
or straw over the heads. BY this plan
the cabbages will keep until late in
the spring. as the stalks will take root
and throw out sprouts or green's after
the heads are gone. By burying the
heads with the roots up, the frost nre-
vents their Use. and when the frost
leaves them the ground is damp and
the heads rot Itswill be found of adj
vantage to store cabbage with the roots
in the ground, as stated, If for no other
purpose than to secure the early
