puN,s WEEKLY REVIEW.

New York, Oct 1.-The industrial
situation, as a whole. at the beginning
OF the last quarter of the year, is that
of full return to normal conditions.
The chief flaw is the high prices which
check operations in some direction
and are of conservative influence.
Business in steel rails is expanding
and railroads are covering future re-
Qurements freely The rapid advance
in mig iron has caused many buyers to
restrict purchases. although heavy
business continues in some districts
Sharp advances are made in cotton
goods and yarns. and the wholesale
dry goods markets maintain a seas
enable distribution.
Some large interests are moving
to cover early spring needs in staple
fabrics. Mems wear mills are curtail
ing production, although the early re
vival in the demand for duplicate win
ter wear is expected to provide idle
looms with work. A similar movement
along the cotton mills is being en-
couraged in order TO avoid trade com
plications that must follow in the eX
tended speculation of cotton.
Footwear is very slow. Further az
tivity developed in hides, sales by
western packers aggregate fully 202,
eco hides the past week at good prices

"Miss Minerva and William
Green Hill"

BY Frances BOYD Calhoun. Published by
the RELY & Breton company. Chicago.
Miss Minerva and William Green
HIP is the title of an amusing little
tale by Frances BOYD Calhoun. Miss
Minerva is typical spinster of the
crochety kind. but with heart hidden
away down deep inside. Like most
spinsters she has theories about the
bringing up of children, and when she
is forced by the death of her sister to
take charge of William Green Hill she
tries some of her remarkable ideas
upon the poor little nephew. The little
book is a chronicle of their daily life
and the struggles between these two,
which would be going on yet IL the
major had not at last taken charge OF
affairs. Miss Minerva had hardened her
heart against her faithful lover and her
little nephew and she was worn out
with anxiety and irritation. At last the
major becomes "masterful" and Miss
Minerva succumbs, and when William
Green Hill is called Billy and treated
like boy the reader is promised that
he will turn out all right. 1t fs a
pleasant little tale for grownups-
children scarcely appreciate this sort of
humor

the authors unanticipated conclusions,

"a Transferred Identity"

oglvie company, New York. Price 25c.
This is new novel oy new writer.
We are told that its author was a
newspaperman in Texas. but is now
practicing law in Alabama, and the
novel is described as the unsolvable
mystery in the life of John McFer-
land. a story of adventure on sea and
land, being humorous study in psy-
chology.
The hero takes us with him on his
adventures and they are indeed unique.
The characters throughout are good;
though some of them are rough and
the style distinctly amateurish. one
must confess to real interest in the
reading. The publishers say that.
though there is nothing serious about
the story, it is calculated to please both
the illiterate and the learned" The
psychological point involved is too
humorously treated to cause any dis
cussion. but the book will amuse and
interest anyway. There is a hint from
the advance notes that there is some
foundation in fact for the story, but
that is hard to believe and will not
spoil any ones pleasure in the reading.

Most women readers will say that
they do not want their lives renewed"
if in the process they must grow fatter.
Doctor Keyes says: Too much fat is
apt to come from the eating of sugars
and starches and albuminous foods, and
sometimes alcohol. It is not the high
est plane Of health and it is condition
that should be avoided. But when once
a large amount of fat tissue is formed
its reduction should be brought about
with great care. 1t should be done by
leaving Off the starches and sugars.
But a sufficient amount Of fats and oils
should still be eaten so as to keep the
rat of the person well nourished so as
to avoid the condition Of fabby fat.
Then an active life should be led so as
to promote oxidation in order that fuel

In the body may be converted into heat
