N. Y, N. H. & H. stock transfer books remain open, but stockholders of record of December 14 have the quar- terly dividend of $2, due December 31 Owing to the fact that a considerable number of holders of the 8 1-2 per cent convertible bonds of January, 1906, have not presented for stamping their bonds at the office of the company, it was decided on Saturday to extend the time for holders to secure the warrants to the new per cent bonds from De- cember 20 to January 10, 1908, when the first payment comes due on the new convertible per cent bonds.
 There is more call for the Southern New England Telephone Co. stock, in anticipation of the quarterly dividend, for which the books close on the 91st. sSwift & Co. Is now quoted ex-divi- dend of S-4 per cent. The dividend is payable January 6 to holders of record of December 20

DEATH OF j. N. Scale.

u The sad news was received Satur.
day by Mr.. and Mrs. Jerry Scale that
their eldest son j. N. Seal had suffered
stroke of paralysis at Saulbury N.
c. He died in George Washington
hospital at WashingtonD, c. Monday
afternoon.
Mr.. Scale was in excellent health
when he left the city a week ago on a
tour Of inspection in company with
several other officials in his depart
ment, and his sudden death was a
shock to the entire Southern railway
force, as it was to his friends.
Mr.. Scale was we'll known in Tenn
essee and Mississippi, in which state
he has spent the major portion of>his
life. He was born and reared in Ok
olona, where his father and several
sisters now reside. He has one bro
theer, R. M. Scale, a train dispatcher
on the Illinois Central railroad.
Mr.. Scale was superintendent of the
Mobile & Ohio railroad, with head
quarters in jackson, Tenn, for twelve
or fifteen years. leaving that city to ac-
cept a post with the Southern railway
when it absorbed the Mobile and Ohio.
For four years he was a member Of lhe
jackson board Of alderman and was
noted for his progressive spirit and I'M
weakening loyalty to the material inter-
ests of the community. For the past
four or FIVE years Mr.. Scale has made
his headquarters in Washington and
during that time he has been promoted
from superintendent of transportation
10 geneaal superintendent of fine north
ern and eastern districts and more re-
Gently to MANAGE Of the northern and
eastern districts.
He was buried in jackson, Tenn,
Wednesday.

at the rate of 900 pounds per

What are the effects OF using
