NEW YORK, April 1.-The fact that

bad effect on the stock market this
morning. not only in the lack OF de-
mand and inactivity as a natural re-
suit, but in the general tendency to-
ward lower range of prices. Mary
brokers were advising the purchase OF
stocks. but the room traders were skep-
teal and could not be made to see
conditions exactly that way.
Gossip said that Reading was being
used as a club on the est Of the list.
but Realizing was only on = point With
the exception Of the Erie issues. first
and second preferred, which were ! to
IA lower. the weak spots in the list
were not at all serious being usually
covered by a half-poiut, while there
s-ere many smaller losses. These breaks
refer to the declines around the noon
hour Earlier in the morning some Of
the standard stocks were selling down
about a point. Reading, too. was at one
Time down to 1922.
The weakness was evidenced in the
opening hour. In the last half of the
first hour there was a rally that was
induced by buying by brokers who
have been operating Tor Lawson. The
Steels were of y point and the sell
ing seemed 10 indicate distribution
by the people who have been important
in advancing the price.

do not hesitate to say that in my
judgment a large percentage OF dis
ease Is caused by poorly selected and
improperly prepared food. My per-
sonal experience withthe ~fully-cooked
food, known as Grape-Nuts, enables
me to speak freely OF its merits.
From overwork l suffered several
years with malnutrition, palpitation
or the heart and loss Of sleep. Last
summer ] was led to experiment per-
sonally with the new food, which l
used in Conjunction with good rich
cows milk. In a short time after I
commenced its use the disagreeable
symptoms disappeared. my hearts &C
ton became steady and normal, the
functions OF the stomach were prop
: erly carried out, and I again slept as
soundiy and as well as in my youth.
i look upo Grape-Nuts as a per-
rect FOOD. and no n can gainsay but
that 1t has a most prominent place in
a rational, scientific system of feed.

TO CLEAN LEATHER.

TO CLEAN LEATHER.
To clean leather mix together half
a pound each of French chalk and
Fuller's earth, two ounces of pow
dered starch and one ounce of yellow
ochre. Wet this with boiling water
enough to make a thin paste and add
one tablespoonful OF sweet OIL When
cold, spread on the soiled leather
and let it remain until dry, then
brush off.
Wipe off every particle of the clean
ing material and polish the leather
with wax melted with ~turpentine
(four ounces of wax and one gill of
turpentine). If you wish to darken
the leather add a little oil to the wax
preparation.
Leather that has become dull and
shabby looking may be very much
improved by being rubbed over with
the white of an egg well beaten.
Leather bags may be cleaned with
a sponge dipped in warm water, in
which a little. oxalic acid has been
dissolved.-New York Press.
