CONFUSION BECAUSE NEAR
 LOOKS LIKE RUGGLES


 The similarity in appearance of Doorman P. L. Ruggles of the De- partment of Police and Janitor John N. Near of the police and charities building has resulted in a number. of amusing complications recently. The other day Doorman RuggIes was ap- preached by an excited Chinese laun- dryman on the street and caustically questioned concerning the alleged failure of some coal to be delivered. It took some tall explaining to con vince the complainant that it was MT. Near, agent for a coal company, who should be consulted. It was only a day previous when MT. Near was stopped on the street by two women and questioned the condition of his leg. As he turned and faced them, both noted that it was not Doorman Ruggles, who recently fractured his right ankle, to whom they were talk ing. There was much confusion, A photograph has been recently taken of both men together and labelled .stwi1ss sA

WALL STREET TODAY

New York. Nov. -opening-The stock market held the ground gained early yesterday and made a small fur ther advance. Trading was light, but the supply of stocks was small and the limited sufficient to raise prices.
 Noon-Experime entaI operations by the bear faction indicated that the early demand for stocks had been satisfied. Pressure was then applied until the leaders receded a point or more. When shorts covered some of their contracts there was no further support for the market which fell back further than it had advanced. The Mexican situation once more was the main restricting influence but monetary conditions also tended to check speculation. Reports that op- position to the New Haven $67, 1000, 900 debentures had been withdrawn was the cause of the strength of the road s securities. Bonds were steady.

LITTLE BEAUTY CHATS
BY RT RTANCHE REACOE
SOME SPLENDID DIETS FOR REDUCING

promised you these diets some time ago, when I preached against thyroids. Here they are. Both were evolved by eminent physicians, and are really effectua1.
 Here is one:
 The first week eat nothing but meat. Eat meat in any and every form you want. You may eat little dry toast with it.
 The second week, conf1ne yourself to green food, such as salads, green vegetables, etc.
 The third week, drink milk, and
 The fourth week eat all sorts of vegetables.
 The fifth week, eat cereals, breads and coffee.
 You can, of course, understand the system. One becomes so sick and tired of the diet for the week that one unconscious1y cuts ones rations down to the proper amount. It is not hard diet to follow-not at all Instead, it is fun. There is enough change from week to week to keep one from despairing utterly. You may vary this menu a little, or have your physician vary it for you. I have quoted for only five weeks but the treatment should continue as long as you need it. You can determine e for yourself what food to eat during the sixth, seventh and eighth weeks.
 The second diet must be followed with the assistance of your family physician. It is diet the value of which consists in designating by ounces exactly how much or how lit tie of certain element you may eat. The ounces add up to one hundred. Meat, I believe, would be about eight ounces.
 If you are fat it is because you have

The railroad companies present an I'M
deniably strong argument against the de-
mands OF the operatives who have, group

threat Of strikes that, would have paralyz-
ed the entire eastern railroad system. The
engineers were given a new scale and the
firemen are now before arbitrators- with
demands which will probably in some

group given wage increases and with
another group virtually certain to be

roads are now asking. for an increase of
freight rates. citing these wage advances
and the new legislation as grounds. They
are held by the interstate commerce law

not assured of permission to increase

The old DAYS Of wildcat notes are
not so old that veterans in business and
banks were numerous, and the jokes on
their notes of issue even more numerous.
II was before the days of large inter-
state connections. and when local condi-
tfons ruled. The Red Dog bank, so to
speak. did a limited business in a limited
community, and it's notes had small IL
any value beyond. At distance they
were subject TO a heavy discount when
offered In the way of business. Stran-
gers felt that they were taking a risk
when accepting them, and demanded pay
FOR the risk.

tion was attributed to Horace Greeley,
who relieved the tedium of his editorial
work with an occasional lecture tour,
which took him through what was then
the west where development was just
beginning and business and banking We're
on a crude scale.
On the eve of departing for home after
one of his tours Mr.. Greeley found his
hands full of wildcat money and the neces-
sity devolving upon him to cash il in
