POLICE
Red Blood CorpuscIes Made By Good Food Are the Police of the Body.

When a man keeps good red blood in his veins he has sort of police squad and is practically immune from disease Pure blood made from the right food will resist the attacks of disease germs and drive them out or kill them. The first thing that should be looked to, therefroe, is the blood, and prompt action to build up the red corpuscles by food. A law yer in a western town tells how he drove Bright's disease out of his system by SUD- plying good red blood by food:
 For several years I had been afflicted with kidney trouble" he says, which sometimes incapacitated me for business. great fears that Bright's disease was about to fasten itself upon me.
 'I had always been very fond of coffee. When however. the kidney symptoms became so alarming. I quit the coffee. and began to use Postum Food Coffee. I soon became as fond of the new bever- age as 1 had been of the old coffee, and, what is more important, my health im- proved rapidly and steadily until in q short tine the kidney troubles had all most entirely disappeared. l am con- vlnced that my former sufferings and the symptoms of Brights disease were caused by the use of coffee, and that the credit for my cure bleongs to the Postum" /" Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich.
 Postum Food Coffee and Grape-N Nuts make good red blood. They contain food that Nature uses in the process, so pre- pared as 10 be quickly assimlated. There's a Reason"

MARKET SHOWING
 GREAT STRENGTH
INCREASED ACTIVITY IN THE IRON TRADE FEATURE OF THE WEEK-cONSUMERS ARE PRESS ING FOR DELIVERIES,

The week closes with marked activity In the iron market. Inquiries have been exceedingly brisk for several days past and buyers are urging deliveries.
 Rogers, Brown x Co.'S Cincinnati report Tor the current week follows:
 Increased strength and active inouirv mark the iron trade during the week. brisk inquiry and buying for the last half and the last four months of the ven, are especially pronounced and consumers Tn all districts have been seriously sound Ing the market for these deliveries A good tonnage has resulted and those furnaces which have felt that the state ol ther order books would permit have taken on additional business
 For spot iron and early delivery tbo lhaolilty of furnaces and short sunnlv ia everywhere manifest and those who have oeeh expecting to contract for additional 'oiiiiase that they might require during the second quarter are going to feel tbis shortage very seriously. It has been stated that GO per cent of the make of furnaces m Ohio has been disposed of TOT the last half of the year and some furnaces figure their make for this period entirely disposed of and have withdrawn from the market
 Malleable and Bessemer iron are both strong and the supply limited. Recent sales or Bessemer iron In Pittsburg terri tory have practically cleaned up the en- tire source of supply to July l, and there Is no doubt but what the little offering prior to that time will command ton prices.
 Production in March will undouhtodl,, show decided falling off, due to inc strain which has been put on furances and their natural shutting down in con sequence. Added to this has been the flood of conditions in the MononeaboIa and Ohio river valleys, which have been almost without precedent as to their ef- feet on pig iron manufacture
 From Alabama also comes the report of decline in production, statistics giving fifteen furnaces in that state now idle. all but three of which are undergoinp re- pairs.
 Coke business in this territory has been almost at a standstill during the past week on account of the demoralized con dition of railroads and the handcap which manufacturers nave had to meet with in the way of unusual weat ther con ditions. Most shippers are behind on contracts, not from lack of production. but more directly due to the inadeula te railroad facilities. On account of num- Der of the southern furnaces being out of blast the furnace coke market is some what freer with good supply offering could 1t be promptly moved.

 It seems that T. c. Cairnes had just crossed the Twenty-second street bridge and was moving rapidly toward Third avenue Howard was on his way down Second avenue, and they met at the crossing.
 A man who was standing nearby said that each saw the other, but kept on moving. Each seemed to trust to the other to get out of the way. Finally Howard saw that he was about to run into tho machine, made sudden swerve toward the north. but not in time. The auto struck his wheel, knocked him down and ran over both the bicycle and the boy.
 The front wheel of the heavy machine passed over his head and shoulders, and then the brake brought 1t suddenly to a halt. Mr. Cairnes jumped quickly to the

NEGRO USES SNAKE IN HIS
 EFFORT TO SCARE POLICE

Although this was not a pleasant sensa- ton MT. Sledge held tight to his grasp and with the other hand slapped the bot tie to the ground. Champ Yergen then rushed up and mashed the reptile under his heel
 For the first time In his life MT. Sledge had actually been attacked by both human and animals at the same time. In this case he did better than did Eve who allowed the serpent only to conquer her Policeman Sledge used his sledge hammer on both the tempter and the negro. Burge was locked safely in Jail.

Seeing snakes is not a welcme fleeing. but it came to Policeman Sledge last night in most realistic fashion, The offi- cer was not in a dream, nor menagerie, but was arresting a negro rowdy, who had been tearing up the negro quarters and bluffing the whole neighborhood.
 Thinking perhaps that a policeman would be afraid of snakes H. Burge, for such was the snake charmer's name, had provided himself with the poisonous weapon. When Mir. Sledge laid hands on the unruly fellow Burge proceeded to shake his green snake out of a bottle into the officers face.
