Every young man and woman, no
matter what their position in life may
he. should be able to write good hand
be quick and accurate in figures; know
how to keep set of books; draw COM
mercial papers; write shorthand and
manipulate a typewriter With this
knowledge they are independent; can
make their own way in the world; bet
ter protect the fortune that may be left
them; make better citizens; and be ca
pable of forging their way to the front
in commercial and social life
This is an age of aggressive progress
sion. The big department store has
closed up the little corner grocery; the
railroad has put the ox.cart and stage
coach out Of business; and the young
man who fails to acquire thorough
business education is in grave danger
of being lost in the jungle with not even
an oN-cart to bear his poor remains to
their last resting place.

MARKET REPORTS
 BY PRIVATE WIRE

New York, March I9.-Considerable irregularity characterized the trading during today's session, but the pres sure was mostly by those desiring to secure profits and even up accounts. Amalgamated and Shelter were quite firm up to noon but receded in sym pathy with the recessions in other is sues during the last half hour. New York Fractions have been liauldated on reports of bad earnings and the weakness in these issues accelerated in part the balance of the list. C. & O. is being bought by those who expect that the dividend rate will be increas- ed to per cent. Professionals con tinUe responsible for for the bulk of trading but outsiders are said to be patiently waiting for signs of a revalue in the steel industry before commit ting themselves in the market.

Fatigue has been shown to be a poisoning of the body through the accumulation of waste products under certain conditions, and some twenty years ago Prof. Mosso of Turin found that the illness sometimes following the eating of the flesh of game or cattle is due to overfatigue of the animals at the time of slaughter The active agent was found to be a spe- cific toXine, instead of an alkaloid. like the strychnine and bruicine produced by plants. The toXine was isolated by Dr. Weichert, and proved to act as an antitoXine in small injections. while large injections produced the symp- toms of fatigue. followed by death A firm of German chemists has now produced an antidote for fatigue by simpler method than extracting it from fatigued muscles. When albumen is broken up by heating ten hours with very diluted nitric acid. one of the products gives the physiological effects of fatigue. and long heating or boiling destroys this poison, yielding a substance that neutraliZes it's action The antitoXine is separated by dialyz- ing through a porous membrane and extracting with acetone. It may be in- jected into the body. and it is claimed to neutraliZe fatigue. preventing in- furious effects

HITCH OVER
PEACE PLANS

MANAGUA, Dec ga hitch in the
prposed peace negotiations between
President Madriz and Provisional
President Estrada is threatened to-day
as a result of Estradas evident de-
termination TO insist unOn terms that
Madriz viii not agree TO.
Madriz is so apprehensive OF the
failure Of the plans that he is to-day
rushing troops to Acopapa, in Central
Nicaragua, TO intercept Estrada in his
march against Managua- He says he
will be able to throw a force of 1000
into Acoyapa, though there are not
more than one-third of this number
available now.
The one thing that Estrada is OBJ
jecting TO above all others is Madriz's
proposal for the revolutionists to lay
down their arms, pending a general
election. the fairness of which. Madriz
says, he will guarantee. The provi-
sional president has curtly replied that
in no case viii the revolutionists yield
up their arms until the election is
actually held and he intimates that
the result of the election must fovar a
man of the revolutionists' choosing or
the fighting will be renewed.
Estrada ignores the presidential
claims OF Madriz entirely. He is will
ing to negotiate with him as the heir
to Zelaya's leadership of the govern
ment forces. but absolutely refuses to
recognize Madriz as the country's
executive. nor the recent acts Of Con-
gress as binding.
