Despite the difficulties interposed by
stringent money conditions, trade gen.
orally maintains satisfactory activity, es-
pecially in the distributive branches. The
efforts to bring about financial relief are
unrelaxed, and there is more encourage
ment for the future in gold imports, in
creasing note circulation and ready ac-
ceptance of checks in local payments.
Liquidation is not yet exhausted, and
it is not surprising that further shrink

attending settlements through the banks
and absence of discount operations the

Mercantile collections at various int

Manufacturing reflects no important

Girls Run Down by Cars

Edna Hyde, aged II, and Leonora
Stout. 10. were probably fatally injured
at the Main street crossing of the
Pennsylvania railroad at Lima, Ohio.
Miss Hyde lost both legs at the knee.
while it is feared that Miss Stout's left
leg cannot be saved. Georgia Shearer
and Grace Moscow were also badly in
jured, but will recover. The injured
persons were standing on the same
track, which was occupied by a cut of
freight cars which the yard crew was
attempting to pick up. A faulty
knIckle on the end car prevented
coupling when the switch engine
struck the cars and they were bumped
down the track directly upon the young
women. They failed tc see the ap-
preaching cars until it was too late to
avoid them.

The siege of Vicksburg is considered

currency plan submitted by tie commits

that another effort will be made to get

have surplus fund equal to 20 per cent

The International Pure Milk Congress
held at Brussels put itself on record as
against the use of raw milk, advising all
mothers to give their infants milk brought
to the boiling point, pasteurzed or steril-
lied. This action, following upon the
address of Nathan Straus of New York
telling of his efforts toward pasteuriza-
ton, was in the nature of an indorse-
ment. 1t was announced that Mr.. Straus
would give complete pasteurizing plant
to the city of Brussels. The Straus plan,
which was first put into operation in New
York City fifteen years ago, has now been
adopted in nearly 400 cities in all parts
of the world, and the United States gov
eminent has Endorsed pasteurization as
the proper way to make milk safe and to
stop the spread of tuberculosis.
