SHIPMENTS TO CANADA AFFECT
 KIDNEY MARKET

New York. Nov. 26-Opening- Trading lacked vitality at the open ing today and quotations fluctuated in an indefinite way. The rise in stocks yesterday apparently failed to carry conviction with it for the bulls were more ready to take profits than to at tempt further ventures on the long side. The advance failed to bring any apprecfa bIe volume of outside orders and it was evident that the buying power of the market had diminished.
 Noon-Price movements today sug- gested that the position of the mar ket had been weakened by driving of shorts on yesterdays rise. Bulls were not inclined to take on stocks in view of the approaching holiday and the rising tendency of the money market
 The mon etary position was influ- enced by further heavy shipments of gold to- Canada and call money mounted to 3-4 percent.

EXPLODING SEWER
 GAS WRECKS TUBE;
 I5O,O0O AFFECTED.
Hundreds, Forbidden Lights or Fire, Flee Pittsburgh
 District.


 Pittsburgh, Nov. 26F'ive hundred or more men were put to work this morning in the Lawrenceville district where exploding gas in a nine foot sewer late yesterday wrecked the sewer for more. than a mile and did damage amounting toN half a million dollars.
 The police prohibition of lights and fires in the affected district inhabited by no less than 25.0Oo persons, caused widespread discomfort during the night and prevented even an exan1i- nation to ascertain the extent Of the damage until after daybreak. Many families have moved to other sections of the city until Assured that all dan- ger of further explosions has passed.
 Experts under Director of Public Works John A Heron went over the ground to prepare plans for the dis posal of the sewage formerly carried by the broken main and which now flows through the streets 1t drains a section populated by approximately 15O, GOO people.

The Changing Age

Girls and boys from A to 1o years of age undergo physical changes which tax their strength to the utmost and the strain is always apparent from pale cheeks, co1or1ess lips, and tired bodies-sometimes eruptions of the skin and the utter lack of the ambition and animation with which their younger years were filled.
 Budding into vvomanhood and man hood, with the duties of school or business, demands concentrated nourish b m D which is readily convertible into red blood corpusc1es, energy and strength, and the very best thing for this changing age is the medical nutriment in Scott's Emu1- sion-it possesses the rare blood-u1akng properties of cod liver oil in a predi- gested form; hypophosphites for the nervous system, with the healing, sooth- ing qualities of pure glycerine-
 Its nourishing force promotes assinila- don, yields direct returns in abundant, red blood, fills hollow cheeks, tones the nerves, makes all good food do good, and does it in natural easy manner
 The sustaining nourishnent in Scott's Emulsion is so helpful to this changing age that it should never be neglected every druggist has it.

 Another good point about the par ceIs post, as contrasted with the ex- press companies, is that when the postal people transport a package they either haven't the time, or lack the inquisitiveness to bust it open and see what's in it. Possibly that's why the number of packages con taining gifts for any special occasion are delivered at the ratio of about 20 to 1 in favor of the parcels post.
