For Ivy Poison.

This time of the year children or
grownups going through woods are IL
able to get into poison ivy. Some chill
dren pull it up without knowing what
it is. So here is a remedy that will
often make it disappear after the first
applications:
Dissolve one ounce of sugar Of lead
in two ounces of sweet spirits of inter,
add one pint of water that has been
boiled. but must be added after cooling.
Use only externally. Don't leave where
hildren can handle 1t. This is to be
ubbed on affected parts.

What they say in New York:

What they say in New York:
Journal of Commerce-Investors will
not follow up advances.
Commercial-The market is still in a
! sold-out condition.
American-The resistance shown by Sc
curities is convincing evidence that the
position is sound.
i Wall Street JournaI-In conservative
quarters. It is said the market will prob
ably respond well to news OF a definite
ly favorable nature.
SIMPLIFYING is sufficient 10 cause a
hardening of prices all along the line.
Post-Mistrust is partly result OF the
department OF commerce as a discoverer
OF evidence OF good times. when so
strong a political inducement TO dis
cover them exists.
That business is waiting on the Inter
state Commerce Commissions ruling on
the application of the transcontinental
railroads for a per cent increase, is
evident in every action OF the various
markets OF this country. The decision
now is expected next Friday after the
close. Unless a positive announcement
Is made to the contrary before then, II
Is expected that stocks will rally gen
orally TO some extent, though con-
servative buying policy will be followed.
July disbursements, crop news and a de-
cidedly favorable outlook for the reOr-
ganiZation of the Clafiin businesss, are
expected to conduce to a generally cheer
full market.
Wall Street is inclined TO attribute the
Presidents optimism regarding business
conditions to advance Information that
the Interstate Commerce Commissions
decision will be favorable to the rail-
roads. The President repeatedly has de-
clared that he has no advance informa-
ton on this score and desires none.
The impression Is general that the de-
cision will authorize some advances al
though it is not generally believed that
the entire 5 per cent Increase demanded
will be granted.
Satisfactory crops news was general
yesterday, and contributed TO an increas-
ing feeling Of optimism. Wheat. corn
and Oat crops promised big, with light
rains in parts OF Kansas and Missouri.
