MARKET MOVEMENT
Of THE DAY

New York. Dec. THE business
done at the stock exhange today
dwindled to small proportions and the
constant fluctuations in prices argued
an uncertain frame of mind on the
part of the operators in stocks.
The presidents message was called
conservative. but as its contents had
been accurately known and acted upon
in the markets its publication left
little for the spectators TO do. The
rise in American Sugar was ascribed
to the stand against congressional
investigation less immunity should
thus be given to some of those prose-
cuted.
A further rise in sterling exchange
brought rates to the point at which
shipments direct to London would be-
come profitable. The torpid state of
the bond market is attributable partly
to these conditions. the effect being
seen in the scanty issues of new Sc
curities during November. The loan
call rate here was rather firmer. the
ruling rate being nearer per cent.
Bonds were irregular. Total sales,
par value. si.0si. 900.

Keep Pores Open;
Be Young at 80
Sir Erasmus Wilson, Ensland's Fa-
nous Physician, Tells How to
Remain Vigorous, With Little
Troub.s and Without Drugs.
Remarkable Results Produced by Ap.
plication Of His Theory.

Keep the pores open and You will
need no medicine! This is the new
slogan which thousands in this coun-
try as well as in Europe have taken
up and put into practice with astound-
ing success
DIR. Erasmus Wilson, one of Eng
lands famous physicians and scholars,
says that IS per cent of all diseases
and sickness are caused by the pores
becoming clogged, thus shutting up in
the blood the poisons and effete mat
ter which nature intended they should
eliminate. The pores are the sewers
of the body. and must be kept open
and active, If you would have perfect
health.
The method of keeping the pores
open and active" is by the use of
Robinson Thermal or Turkish Baths at
home.
The power of life seems to lie in the
skin-in the poison chutes of the body
and one may even walk through pesti-
lence unframed ii the pores are kept
active and cleaned out.
The effect of the Robinson Thermal
or Turkish Bath in rheumatism, for
instance, malaria, eczema and blood
diseases is astounding. cures having
been recorded as taking place in from
20 to 30 minutes.
Lung and throat troubles. also, lum-
bago, dyspepsia. nervous prostration.
insomnia and constipation disappear
i'll remarkably quick time. and the
cures are reported permanent.
Anyone can now take Robinson
Thermal baths at home without any
trouble. and at cost of only about
9 cents bath. The only way to take
these baths Is by the use of the Rob-
inson Thermal Bath Cabinet. which
is unique and marvellous invention
The Robinson Thermal Bath Cabi-
nets can now be seen and examined

MAINE GHOST ON HORSEBACK
Peculiar Spook That Has Struck Ter
ror to Farmer Folk.

The horseback riding ghost Is the
very latest variety that has appeared
in Bowdoinham, and he is particu-
lar spirit, making visitations only at
certain times.
The hunters ghost, they call him,
and the big man on the big white
horse who comes galloping down the
Lisbon road on the full O. the moon
right up to the side door Of Sunny Crest
farm strikes terror to the heart OF
the farmer folk as he raps smartly
with his riding whip on the panels OF
the door, Whenever one appears In
answer to the knock the ghost, so
they tell the story, wheels round and
disappears at gallop, turning into
the old woods road much used in revo-
lutionary times by the soldiers Of that
stormy period.
Ghost of the old Cap'n, they call
him, connecting this horseback riding
spook with certain officer of un-
savory fame who once haunted the
district of Maine. 1t is on the hunt
ers' moon when the ghost rides
abroad. and nervous people on the
Lisbon road are much disturbed by
this galloping horseman,-Lewiston

the connubial blindness, ma'anl, which
perhaps you may have observed in the
