SLIGHT DOWNWARD MOVEMENT RESULT
 OF STOCK SALES.

New York, Dec. 5-Opening-Open ing quotations of. stocks today showed only nominal changes with a slight movement downward. -Specu1ators hesitated to take a., definite positi on owing to the unsettled condition of the money market and the lack of stay- bility of stocks shown by yesterday s cratic fluctuations. Little opposition was offered therefore to the down ward drift which soon after the open ing assumed definite proportions among the metal stocks.
 Steel was sold in large blocks and both that stock and Analgamated fell nearly a point. Lackawnna steel drop ped points.
 Noon-The general tendency of the market during the morning was reac- tionary although movements were con- fused and little progress made by the list as a. whole toward a lower level. Strength of the market having been exhausted temporarily by the mid week rise, bears renewed their aSt- tack.
 High money rates put a stop to speculative buying of any magnitude. Efforts of banks to strengthen their position caused the marking up of call money, renewals commanding 6 per cent.
 Bonds were irregular.

Washington, Dec. 5.-According te 1 information gathered by the U. S. De- partment of Agriculture, there has been a sudden and very significant in- l crease in the use by persons with a drug habit of the Iitt1e-known but The sales of this drug have recently increased greatly, particularly in those States which have rigid laws
 preventing the indiscriminate sale of
 morphine and cocaine. Investiga-
 tion of the subject establishes the fact
 that many drug victims who former
 ly used morphine and cocaine and who
 under the new laws find it difficult to
 obtain these substances have begun
 using heroin, the sale of which is not
 as yet as carefully restricted under
 State laws. The drug is said to fully
 as dangerous as morphine and by
 many is held &o be much worse for the reason that it occasionally kills
 the victim outright and it's habit is far harder to overcome than the use of the other drugs. The Departme ent pending further action, specially warns all people who are unfamiliar with the drug to avoid all prepara- tions containing the substance and to take it only on the prescription of re- putab1e physicians.
 Heroin, the consumption Of which by drug takers has recently increas- ed markedly, is derivattve of morphine, the opium alkaloid It Is known in chemical par1ance as dia- cety1, morphine, and it is frequently found as a constituent of a number of proprietary drugs. Its. use seems to be especially notable in parts of Penn sylvania. This year the. coroner's of flee in Philadelphia county has held inquests on five sudden deaths from heroin poisoning. In each case the victim was a heroin f1end and was on l a heroin debauch and took an over l dose. The substance apparently is | far more dangerous for drug users ! than morphine or cocaine Drug iends apparently are able to consume relatively large quantities of the oth- er two drugs, but any sud den and ma -erial increase in the amount of her. pin taken is very liable to prove fa- -a1. As indicating the wide sole of his substance, it is known that one druggist in Pennsylvania whose store of his city, has -been buying herof-1 | abIets in 25,000 lots.
 The labels of proprietary and other medicines purchased by Iayrr1en should ,e carefully scrutinized for a state nent which is required by the Ma iona1 Food and Drugs Act of the uantity or proportion of herofn- or ny derivative or preparation thereof. |
 The word "heroin'' on any IabeI hould be regarded as a danger sig al, according to the experts of the )epartment

FOURTH WEEK OF
sToRRs EGG CONTEST

The total egg production for the 8ourth week of the third international egg laying contest at Storrs was 7O5. This is a gain of 166 eggs over the production for the preceding week.
 A pen of Single Comb White Leg horns belonging to Francis F. Lin coln of Mt. Carmel, which laid only eight eggs during the first week, has been first pen every week since that lime For the past week they had a score of forty-seven eggs and tied for first place with the pen of White Wyandottes owned by Tom Barron of coins birds are laying. This is the only pen in the contest in which all the birds are laying. On the other hand, two of MT. Barron's birds laid every day during the week. This is the first time that any bird has laid seven eggs in a week during the cur rent com petition --= ~e5- ---
 There was quite a little difference Tn the amount of feed consumed by these two pens. The wyandottes ate twelve and four-tenths pounds of grain and eight pounds of mash. The Leghorns ate thirteen and nine-tenths pounds of grain and only one and e4ght-tenths polnds of dry mash.
 Second for the week was an experi- ment pen owned by the Storrs Experi- nnent Station This is the same pen Df Leghorns that came second for last week Their production for this week was thirty-two eggs.
 The pen of Single Comb White Leg horns owned by Cevi1 Guernsey of East CableskiIl, N. Y, came khird with "a production of thirty eggs.
 For the first time Connecticut pen stands first in the competition.

Even the most delicate child can take it as safely as a robust man. It is the most harmless, effective stomach, liver and bowel cleanser, regulator and tonic ever devised.
 Your only difficulty may be in get ting the genuine, so ask your drug gist for 50 cent bottle of "Califor-' mia Syrup of Figs then see that it IS made by the "Ca1fronia Fig Syr- up Company This city has many counterfeit ''fig syrups'', so watch out.-AdV.

SUFFRAGISTS NAME DIR. SHAW AS CHIEF
 OF NATIONAL BODY

| Washington, D. C., Dec. 5-With | the election of officers, the adoption 1 of a constitution and a sharp attack l on the white slave'' traffic, the busi- ness of the National Woman S suffrage convention virtually was brought to a close yesterday and only loose ends re- sma1ned to be gathered up today. In the afternoon the delegates were guests at reception by Mrs. Robert
 M. La Toilette, with the women of the Cabinet and Congressional circles
 present. and the convention then will
 be thing of the past.
 Mrs. O. s. P. Belmont and Mrs. Inez MiIholland Boissevain left Washington for New ork angry at what Mrs Bel mont took as a personal affront, when the delegates declined to consider her motion that the Headquarters of the sufragists be moved from New York to Washington. Mrs. Belmont showed her anger in talking with delegates at the door of the convention hall just before leaving.
 Mrs. Belmont announced that she would bring up the subject of moving the headquarters and waited patiently for the subject to be taken up. When no move was made in that regard she finally rose and asked that her mo ton be made the order of business, stating that she would be forced to leave before the session was ended.
 Just before Mrs Belmont spoke Mrs. Champ Clark had been introduc- ed, and one of her friends in the con- vention, feeling that she would be sighted if Mrs. Belmont's motion was brought up for discussion, moved that the motion be tabled.
 A standing vote was called for and Mrs. Belmont's adherents were unable to muster enough force to win her point. She immediately left the hall, pausing only long enough at the door to give vent to her views on the man ner in which the convention was be- ing conducted.
 These officers were elected: Presf- dent, Dr.. Anna Howard Shaw; first vice president, Miss Jane Adams, of Chicago; second vice president, Mrs. Desha Breckenridge, of Kentucky; third vice president, Miss Caroline Ruutz-Rees, of Connecticut; corres- bonding secretary, Mrs. Mary Ware Bennett, of New York; recording sec retary. Mrs. Susan w. Fitzgerald, of Boston; treasurer, Mrs. Katherine l Dexter Mccormick, of New York; first 1 auditor, Mrs. Harriet Burton Laid1aw, l of New York; second auditor, Miss | Louise De Koven Bowen, of Chicago |
 The convention decided to start a | suffrage publishing concern in. New York with a capital of $5O,00O, and $12,577 in stock was subscribed in a | few minutes.

THE RICH

live cheaper than anyone
 else. They put in their years
 supply of coal, potatoes, flour and every commodity
 when they are cheapest. The
 man who buys from hand to , mouth pays the long price every time. Perhaps he has to for some things but not for what he wears. Not where there is a Besse Sys- tenn store. Besse System buys cheaper than anyone else and when everything is at the low point for the. year. They put in your years supply when the time is right and they keep it for you until you want it and as you want it. This means immense capital and great buying power, but it means real value for you and a dol lars worth for every dollar you spend. Do you think we could write these talks if we didn't know? Do you think this store would be 37 years old and the first of the Besse System if they didn't give values? If you don't investigate the new low schedule of prices establish ed in this store you are cheating your own purse. Everything men and boys wear.
