Neskly Review oil Trade and Latest
Market ReDortS

r. @. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review
Of Trade says:
Trade reports continue irregular.
With pronounced gains in some sec
tions and no Improvement In others,
the net result being encouraging,
however, and sentiment regarding
the future grows more confident each
week.
Steel demand is steadily broaden
ing, each week bringing larger
percentage of active capacity, and the
Improvement is especially gratifying
In view of the few orders from the
railways. Export contracts are re-
industry, from pig iron to steel rails,
and further improvement in this
respect is also anticipated.
Textile markets have been domi-
mated this week by the second big
auction sale, buyers either devoting
attention to seeking bargains there
or awaiting the effect on the general
market, a large attendance of out
side jobbers and retailers at the
auction promises business in regular
departments next week, although
many come only to specialize in this
particular line. Reports from visit
ing jobbers indicate low stocks OF
some goods, but abundant supplies
in other lines, which makes the out
look uncertain. Prices are almost
nominal in consequence, except Oh
cash transactions for current needs
which are necessarily limited.
For the first time this year ship.
ments of boots and shoes from Bos.
ton were almost as large as in the
corresponding week of 1907. 1t is
also gratifying to note that contracts
increase, despite the fact that there
are practically no buyers in the Bos'
ton market and New England man.

Sand Fish.

At low tide, in midsummer, on
certain parts of the Breton coast,
men and boys with baskets and hoes
descend the white beach to the seas
edge. They are anglers, but the fish
they seek live on dry land.
With his hoe each fisherman makes
swiftly In the packed sand shallow
parallel trenches very close together
and about yard long. If the luck
be good, every scratch of the hoe
uncovers three or four silvery fish,
the size of sardnies, that leap up
glittering into the air. They must be
seized quickly, or at once they bury
themselves In the sand again.
They are called lancons. The
smaller ones are used for mackerel
bait; the larger make, fried, an ex-
cellent dish, good deal like fried
smelts.
With daylight tides the lancons
are seldom bigger than "a mans mid
die finger; but with the night tides,
when promenaders have not disturb
ed the sand, they run large indeed.
Then, their lanterns flashing on the
beach, the Breton fishermen often
capture lancons a foot long.-Phila-

The New "Peace Color"

Gray, which is to be the peace
color" of our warships instead of
white, was their war tint during the
rebellion. 1t was believed to render
them almost imperceptible to block
ade runners as well as harder to hit,

with the new navy, and its adoption
at first gave great offense to old

LYDiA e. PINKHAM

Nature and a woman's work COM
bined have produced the grandest
remedy for wOman's ills that the
world has ever known.
In the good old fashioned days Of
our grandmothers they relied upon
the roots and herbs of the field to
cure disease and mitigate suffering.
The Indians on our Western
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailment, and cure
diseases that battle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years In
the study of drugs.
From the roots and herbs Of the
field Lydia E. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
of the world remedy for their pc
culiar ills, more potent and effica-
cious than any combination Of drugs.
Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable
Compound is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman's ills.
Mrs Bertha Muff, of 515 NC. ST.,
Louisiana, Mo-, writes:
Complete restoration to health
means so much to me that for the sake
of other suffering women l am willing
to make my troubles public
For twelve years | had been suffer
ing with the worst forms of female ills.
During that time l had eleven different
physicians without help. No tongue
can tell what / suffered. and at times
could hardly walk. About two years
ago | wrote Mrs. PinlSham for advice.
| followed it, and can truly say that
Lydia Il. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound and Mrs. Pinlxham's advice re-
stored health and strength. 1t is
worth mountains of gold TO suffering
women"
What Lydia E. Pinl1hams Vege-
table Compound did for Mrs. Muff,
twill do for other suffering women.
