INDUCED SYMPATHETIC DECLINE
Chesapeake 4 ohio Paced Into

(By Associated Press).

NEW YORK. Jan. 26.-The special
influences which governed the vide
movements In a handful OF stocks to-
day were conflicting In their sympa-
thetic effect on the general list. or
more properly. had a neutraltzing Ell
feet which aggravated the dullness
OF the trading. Dealings were at tn"
point OF stagnation between the &C.
cassional spurts Of moderate activi-
~. The most influential movement
In its general effect was that In Con.
solidated Gas.
The stock dropped precipitateiy
over nine points to a lawer level than
was touched in the slump following
the decision of the Supreme Court
against the company.
The unsettling effect OF so con-
siderable a decline was manifest in
the general list and prices declined
quite comprehensively.
The desire to await the appearance
of the quarterly report OF the United
States Steel Corporation was a factor
In the later dullness.
1t was known that this report
would not appear until after the close
OF the stock market. and the fear thar
Il might contain some unpleasant sur
prises made operators wary about ex-
tending their commitments.
Chesapeake & Ohio passed into the
hands of the interests which but late.
~ marketed successfully the control
Of the Colorado & Southern. and as
the negotiation was made with the
banking house which had taken over
the Pennsylvania holdings Of this
stock. 1t was inferred that the South
ern trunk line situation would not be
disturbed by the new control. while
assumptions or more liberal policy in
the distribution OF profits also helped
the advance in the stock.
The rumor of the coming control
Of the Wabash by the Delaware. Lack
awana & Western sprung into new
life and was effecaive In bringing the
preferred stock and refunding bonds
OF the Wabash to a higher level. The
feeling Of dissatisfaction over the rate
Of business recovery was vertned oy

SAVE THE RECIPE.
Says Homemade Mixture is Eas-
lily Prepared, and Cures Weak
Kidneys and Bladder.

Here is simple home. made mixture
as given by an eminent authority on
Kidney diseases, who makes the state
ment that it will relieve almost any case
of Kidney trouble if taken before the
stage of Bright's disease. He states that
such symptoms as lame back, pain in the
side, frequent desire to urinate, espec.
tally at night painful and discolored
urination, are readily overcome. Here is
the recipe. Try it:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce
Compound Syrup Sarsaparila, three
ounces. Take teaspoonful after each
meal and at bedtime.
A well known druggist here in town
is authority that these ingredients are
all harmless and easily mixed at home
by shaking well in a bottle. This mix.
tnre has peculiar healing and soothing
effect upon the entire Kidney and Uri-
nary structure, and often overcomes the
worst forms of Rheumatism in Just a
little while. This mixture is said to re-
move all blood disorders and cure the
Rheumatism by forcing the Kindeys to
filter and strain from the blood and sys-
tenn all uric acid and foul, decomposed
waste matter, which cause these afflic-
tons. Try it if you aren't well. Save
the prescription.

BUREAU
is ASKED FOR
To Promote General Welfare Of
Our Neglected Children
IMPORTANT CONF iRENCE ENDS

Recommendation OF Wide Scope
Looking to the Future Well Being'of
Little Ones Depending Upon Others
Than Their Own Parents For Sup
port-Conclusions of Those Con-
versant With Subject Summarized
Washington, Jan. 81. Advanced
steps of far-reaching significance to
the future well being of the children
Of the country were taken at the con-
Guiding session of the conference on
the care Of the dependent children
held in this city.
Voicing the unanimous sentiment OF
nearly 200 delegates, the conference
adopted a comprehensive report of its
conclusions as to the most practical
plan for promoting the welfare of the
neglected child.
One of the most important recon-
mendations contained in the report,
which was submitted to President
Roosevelt at a notable dinner given
last night, requested the president to
send message to congress urging
the establishment of a federal child
ren's bureau, one of whose objects
shall be to disseminate accurate in
formation In regard to child caring
work and the needs of the children.
The report embodies the conclusions
81
most prominent charity workers and
others. and it deals with every phase
of the problem of caring for the de-
pendent child.
Last nights banquet was a fitting
climax to what is regarded as the
most important gathering ever held
in the interest of the nations de-
pendent children President Roose-
welt, who initiated the great move
ment, listened with close attention to
the reading of the report and then
gave expression to his own views
on the question. Briefly summarized
the conclusions of the conference are
as follows:
Children of worthy parents should
as a rule, be kept with their parents;
homeless and neglected children, if
normal, should be cared for in
families, when practicable; child
caring institutions should be on the
cottage plan; states should inspect all
agencies caring for dependent chill
dren: educational work or institutions
caring for dependent children should
be supervised by state educational au-
thorities; agencies caring for children
| should cooperate to ascertain and
control causes of dependency, a per-
manent organization for work along
the line of this declaration being de-
sirable; prohibitive legislation against
transfer of dependent children be-
tween states should be repealed; CO.
| operation between child caring
agencies and more thorough precau
tons for surgical and medical care

The True American Virtue.

The thing whereby America really
towers over the old country is the
thing which Jefferson reared and
Washington defended. The solid good
Of America is that when all is said
and done she is a republic, a public
thing and people representing itself.
There are men rich enough and struug
enough. almost. to starve America, but
there are no men strong enough To
silence America. No oligarchy acts as
an entirely false interpreter between
Americans and the world. America
and the Americans may be right or
wrong But England may actually be
wrong while Englishmcn are right.
We have said, then, that the true Amer
lean virtue is this candid/and complete
democracy, the fact that the truth
may be told even IL IL is not believed
