May Paste Million Posters.

Artists, billposters, printers, paper
manufacturers and tuberculosis fight
ers are all united in gigantic crusade
against tuberculosis which is about to
be started under the direction of the
National Association for the Study
and Prevention of tuberculosis. In
addition to the gifts of free space on
billboards and free printing of posters
made by the Associated Billposters
and Distributors of America and the
Poster Printers Association, several
hundred paper manufacturers have
given paper for the posters to the
value of several thousand dollars, and
artists from all over the United States
are contributing sketches for posters,
free of charge. The local, state and
national anti-tuberculosis associations
will see that the posters are placed
in cities and towns where they are
most needed.
The posters are nine feet long and
seven feet wide and will be printed in
several colors. If sufficient paper is
procured a million will be pasted up.
The value of these various contribu-
tions would reach fully S2,000,000 If
paid for at commercial rates.

SKIN ROUGH AS BARK.
Baby Boy Had Intense Itching Humor
Scratched Till Blood Ran.
Found a Cure in cuticura.

"Our son, two years old, was afflicted
with a rash. After he suffered with
the trouble several weeks l took him
to the doctor but it got worse. The
rash ran together and made large
blisters. The little fellow didn't want
to do anything but scratch and we had
to wrap his hands up to keep him
from tearing the flesh open till the
blood would run. The itching was in
tense. The skin on his back became
hard and rough like the bark of a
tree. He suffered intensely for about
three months. But found a remedy
in Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint-
ment. The result was almost mag
ical. That was more than two years
ago and there has not been the slight
est symptom of it. since he was cured.

he landed in America, with empty

Best Treatment for Colds.

"Most ordinary colds will yield to
the simplest treatment" says the
Chicago Tribune, "moderative laxa-
tives, hot foot baths, free perspira-
tion and an avoidance of exposure to
cold and wet after treatment" While
this treatment is simple, it requires
considerable trouble, and the one
adopting it must remain indoors for
a day or two, or fresh cold Is almost
sure to bs contracted, and In many

Thre. Anyway, Says conni. Mack = Athletics Start Good Against De- troit.

Connie Mack is extremely sanguine that his Philadelphia Athletics will take three out of the four games of the present series from Detroit The Philadelphia pennant chasers made a nice beginning by walloping the Tigers in the opener Thursday.
 Says the manager of the Athletics "t feel confident that we shall get away with three of the four games ard if things break for us we may mlke a clean sweep. All the boys are if to play their best, and not one of rem has any idea of losing
 Naturally I shall prefer the left handlers against Detroit, and Plank and. Krause may work three of the four games. If Atkins arrives from th.' south may put him in for the other game, otherwise Bender is likely to be the man. The way the hos are hitting all kinds of pitchers makes me indifferent as to who is chosen by Detroit.
 I want to say, too, that I don't think the,G will be any more spiking in this series, If there is, the offender will get the warmest reception he ever had war: to win tn pennant for Phila- delpila. but I would sooner lose and finish in last place than sanction bru- I1l r-aying by my men.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
BIG DEMAND FOR STOCKS.
United States Steel, Union Pacific ant
 Reading the FaVorites.

New York, Sept. 16.-There was a n 1ewed outburst of speculative de- denomination of strength was the con- sequence The movement again con- verged on the recent favorites, United States Steel, Union Pacific and Read ing. In the last named stock profit taking acted as a restraint on its price
 movement, in spite of the enormous dealings in it Blocks of as much 1 as 10000 shares of it changed hands on the floor in the course of the deal ings. The individual transactions in United States Steel were scarcely less
 striking and the aggregate dealings even larger than in Reading. When it is considered how large 8 number of the shares of the Reading are held by corporations for division of its
 control and are unavailable for the open market the proportion of the. to- tai market supply of the stock turn ed over in the course of as active a days speculation as today's indicates the artificial character of much of this apparent activity. In United States Steel the absorption was aggressive
 and determined at all levels and the price moved upward with great appar- ent facility and without hesitation on countered at various stages. Ad- vices from the iron and steel trade were of brilliant prospect and active present demand, the placing of orders extending forward additional periods into next year. The larger rail orders placed by the railroads were dwelt up-
 on as especially significant of the stir ring of demand hitherto cautious and 3elated. The bunyant rise in the prin-
 cipal industrial security was of mark ed sympathetic effect on the whole
 stock list Union Pacific loomed into
 marked prominence again, following
 the publication of the brief and sim
 pie provisions of the will of the late
 head of the system. The banks con-
 tinued to lose cash and the fact that
 the sub-treasury alone has absorbed
 almost twice as much as the actual
 surplus reserve of the banks as shown
 by the last bank statement caused no apparent hesitation in the large spec
 ulative commitments going on in the
 stock market. The declining course
 of the foreign exchange market was
 taken to show that recourse was be-
 ing taken to foreign money markets
 for means to carry on the specula-
 tion. Rates for time loans here were
 marked IA per cent. for various ma
 turities to the highest rates touched
 since the business revival set in. The
 call loan rate went as low as IA per cent. during the day, although per
 cent. was still the ruling rate. Bonds

Although showers fell before and dur ing lay, nearly 25,OOo people saw the game. The players were surrounded by hundred policemen, who were sent to the grounds to preserve order and to protect Right Fielder Cobb of Detroit who had received threatening letters because of his having sniked Baker of Philadelphia during the re- cent series between these teams at Detroit The only incident which re- quired the interference of the police was when D. Jones was accused of making an objectionable remark to Murphy as the latter passed Detroit's bench. Murphy drew back his arm as if to strike Jones, but policemen prevented any blows being struck.
 The game was Mtchers' contest between Plank and Summers, in which the latter did the better work, while Plank received perfect support. Err TOTS by Detroit lost the game. Plank got out of <veral tight situations by masterly pitching. In the third inn ing Detroit filled the bases with one out. Cobb, however, was struck out for the second time during the game and Crawford gave Davis an easy grounder Philadelphia scored enough runs to win the game in the fourth inning.

 In the speed boat class, the re5oubt- able Dixie IL, which won the first 30-nile leg of the 90-mile race yes terday in 114.34, found herself alone at the starting point today. owing to the withdrawal of the Elco- Craig, which struck a floating obstruction during yesterdays racing, and the Willowbrook, which was retired by ig- milton trouble.
 The Dixie II. today bettered her per- formance of yesterday by nearly 12 minutes, finishing her 3O-mile course in one hour two minutes fifteen sec onds. She covered portions of the course at speed close to forty miles an hour.
