Things Not to Do at Table

Erasmus. the old Dutch philosopher
and theologian. In his curious essay
"On Behavior at Meals" remarks that
1t is very rude to blow ones nose on
the tablecloth'' or to wipe ones fingers
on ones neighbor's coat" He also ad-
viSes the guest not to give dogs your
bones to crack under the table or feed
the cat or encourage animals to jump
on the table. This may offend your
host or lead to the soiling of his car
pet" An admonition that might well
be observed in the present day. Above
ALL" he says. do not lick your plate.
1t is an act that i'll becomes cat. let
alone a gentleman"
Kodol is thorough stomach relief
1t digests what you eat and gives the

VINOL..

VINOL.
It does not look, smell or
taste like cod liver oil.
Neither does it contain any
rank, indigestible cod oil.
But it does contain all the
valuable medicinal elements
found in the Gods liver, and
tonic iron besides.
That's why Vinol is an
ideal body-builder & strength
creator for feeble old people,
rundown people and delicate
children.

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

One Of the brokers had some bonds to
sell at the meeting today of the stock ex-
change, and his offering was accompanied
In each case with the statement that they
had to be sold" As a result some compe-
tition, was developed, and the prices OBJ
tanned were greater than the bid figures re-
corded for the securities at the meeting
yesterday
On this basis an advance Of half point
was made in the case of the Columbia
Railway 5s, a quarter Of a. point for the
Columbia Railway IS. two points for the
Metropolitan 5s and one point for the Tele-
phone 5s.
The highest level yet reached for the new
5 per cent bonds of the Capital Traction
Company was attained today when 1lOas
was paid for quite a large number of them.
The change in the figures for these bonds
since yesterday was, however, only an
eighth of point.
One twenty-five share lot of gas stock
sold for 81, and the bid for the stock was
an eighth of a point less than that level.
and the asking price quarter of point In
advance, SO that it is quite evident that the
desire to trade was not very keen.
Twenty five shares Of Georgetown gas
sold for SO, and one Of the brokers bid S31a
for a large block, which was surprising In
one sense, as large blocks Of that stock are
unknown on this market or any other, or
does not, as popularity supposed, exist any
where outside Of the block that is owned
by the control of the Washington company.
