The Usefulness OF Tears.

The psychological aspect of tears
has interested thinkers for ages.
That crying brings about certain
mental crisis now and then is de-
finitely asserted and, in all probabili-
ty, very true Every woman knows
that nothing relieves her feelings more
readily or lifts strain from her
mind more certainly than a good
weep on occasions
The physical aspect or tears, how
ever, has never been considered very
seriously by scientific investigators
until these latter days, when all our
lives center around these pestiferous
things we call germs. Everything
about us seems fashioned for one of
two purposes-either to attract or
repel germs Tears are said to be
great germ killers.
Wherefore, if the baby cries, for
instance, be not distressed. It is
good for the baby to cry; it rids the
little thing OF millions of bacteria.
If your young boy stubs his toe and
bawls with all the vigor of an Offend
ed nature not yet arrived at youth
full estate, console yourself that,
while his toe hurts, his tears are
washing away hosts of micro-organ-
isms that might otherwise work great
havoc with his physical SELF If

Bradstret's saws.

BradStret'S says:
AS the season advances trade tends
to show further expansion and In
dustrial lines are becoming more ac-
tive. Outputs are being increased
by plants already in operation and
frequent reports come to hand of re-
SYMPTOMS by concerns that have
been shut down for sometime past.
Under the circumstances employment
is more general, payrolls are larger
and more money is available for
spending. In a nutshell, trade is
good, industry. particularly iron and
steel, is active, outputs are close to
normal and prospects are pleasant.
r. G. DUN & Co.'S Weekly Review
of Trade says:
Expansion in volume of business
and contraction in business disasters
characterized the month of August,
usually of the most inactive of the
year, and this marks the situation
on the eve of the fall season.
Reports for the week confirm re-
ports of the whole of the past month.
Heavy buying, both for immediate
and 1910 consumption, continues in
the IRON and steel trade. The higher
cost of material is one of the fea-.
lures Of the situation which work for
conservatism, but as the revival of
activity has taken place in spite of
other adverse conditions, it ignores
this development. Advices from the
leading cities continue to speak of
business improvements and in some.

cess of all former records for the,
