POLICE CANNOT FIND KIERAN
UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPTS TO
SETTLE CASES IN PlTTSBURG.
Victims Being Heard from in Various
Places - Suits for Collection
of Notes Begun.

Pittsburg, Pa. - Several men rep
resenting themselves to be rep
resentatives of p. J. Kieran, head
of the defunct Fidelity Funding Co.,
were here Wednesday attempting to
effect compromise with the several
Catholic societies of this diocese who
have been made defendants in suits to
collect money growing out of loans
placed through Kieran and his com
pany. One of the men was clothed in
the garb of bishop of the church. At
torneys for the organizations informed
their callers that the matter was now
in the hands of the police and would
take its course.
Rev. Father John A. RykacZwski
pastor of the Sacred Heart Polish
Catholic church of Braddock, suburb,
is among the alleged victims of
Kieran. He had $4,000 worth of stock
in the Fidelity Funding Co. and 300
shares of stock in Cleveland bank
which failed early in the year. Kieran,
he alleges, persuaded him to turn over
this stock to him, and as result he is
now involved with notes amounting to
100000.

DUN'S WEEKLY TRADE RESUME
AMPLE RAIN HAS STARTED MUCH
IDLE MACHINERY.
Retail Trade Is Active in Holiday
Goods and Winter AppareI-CoI-
lections Are More Prompt.

New York City.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S
Weekly Review of Trade says:
Retail trade is active in holiday
goods and winter wearing apparel,
while wholesale and iobbing depart
ments are seasonably quiet as to new
business, but there is a good move
ment on old orders, and manufacturing
operations are not curtailed. inventor
les are in progress, and those com
pleted indicate no excessive stocks.
Ample rain in many sections has
started much idle machinery, while
statements of building permits con-
tinue to show gratifying gains, al
though operations in the northwest are
interrupted by severe weather. Mer-
camille collections are more prompt
and the steady gain in production of
pig iron is most encouraging indica-
ton of confidence in the leading in
dustry.
Seasonably quiet conditions are re-
ported in the primary markets for cot
ton goods, stocks being reduced as far
as possible before taking inventories,
but there is confidence in a normal re-
vival in January unless raw material
becomes unsettled. Export trade re-
mains dull, conditions in China pre-
cluding any prospect of revival at
present, and other foreign bids are be-
low domestic quotations.

Many Resolutions and Recommends

Referendum Ienored-Next
Meeting at Springfield

Columbus, C.-Resolutions calling
for state prohibition, public inspec-
tion of all public service corpora
tions, demanding repeal of the mile
age grab law passed by the last lesis-
lature, indorsing the state board of
agriculture in its fertlizing trouble,
1ndorsing the plans for the election OF
United States senators by the direct
vote of the people, requesting the re-
enactment of the inheritance tax Jaw,
and the removal of tariff on all raw
goods were adopted amid a storm of
applause Thursday by the Ohio State
Grange.
Nearly the whole morning was given
up listening to the report of the reso-
lutions committee and in acting upon
their recommendations In no case
was there any objection to any resolu
tion offered. The initiative and refer
endum proposition was ignored en-
tirely
Among other important resolutions
adopted was one calling for the enact
ment OF the 81 hunters license fee bill
sion OF the general assembly by Sena
tor Sites at the behest of the state
fish and game commission. This reso-
luton was quite expansive and in ad-
dition to the feature of the Sites law
requests that the quail season be
closed for five years and that the pro-
lection be taken from rabbits. This
law in its license feature eXempts
those who hunt upon their own lands.
The state prohibition feature came
along as a tail-end of resolution call
ing upon farmers to support Rose
county local option elections, that
present temperance Legislation be
maintained, and that other measures
be passed to strengthen the present
laws and make them effective. Then
the resolution requests state prohibi-
ton. The granger who was in charge
of this resolution was the candidate
for state treasurer on the Prohibition
ticket at the recent election. The con-
vention indorsed the establishment of
manual training, domestic science and
the teaching of agriculture in all rural
schools as soon as trained teachers can
be secured.
Out of a field OF three, T. c. Laylin
of Norwalk was the victorious candi-
date for master of the State Grange at
the biennial election. He defeated F..
A. Derthick of Mantua, candidate for
reelection, and r. w. Dunlap state
dairy and food commissioner. The vote
stood: Laylin 76, Derthick 81 and Dun

Optimist and Pessimist,

Sydney Rosenfeld once wrote COM
edy, entitled The Optimist," which
achieved success after the production,
but was a long time reaching the
stage. Manager after manager refused
the manuscript, and one day Mr..
Rosenfeld, whose patience was ex-
hausted, blurted out to his sole au-
ditor:
"Of course you don't appreciate the
play! You don't even know the
meaning of it's name!"
"Yes, l do" protested the i'm
presario.
Well" insisted Rosenfeld. what's
the difference between an optimist
and a pessimist?"
The manager barely hesitated: An
optimist is an eye doctor" he said;

CAUSE AND EFFECT
Good Digestion Follows Right Food.

Indigestion and the attendant dis
comforts of mind and body are cer-
ain to follow continued use of improp-
sr food.
Those who are still young and
robust are likely to overlook the fact
that, as dropping water will wear a
stone away at last, so will the use Of
heavy, greasy, rich food. finally cause
loss of appetite and Indigestion.
Fortunately many are thoughtful
enough to study themselves and note
the principle of Cause and Effect in
their daily food. A N. Y. young wom-
an writes her experience thus:
Sometime ago l had lot of trouble
from indigestion, caused by too rich
food. l got so l was unable to di-
gest scarcely anything, and medicines
seemed useless.
"a friend advised me 10 try Grape
Nuts food, praising it highly, and as
q last resort / tried it. | am thankful
to say that GrapeNuts not only re-
lieved me of my trouble. but built me-
up ana strengthened my digestive or
gans so that l can now eat anything
desire. But l stick to Grape-Nuts."
