BRaDSTREETS REPORT

Reports to Bradstreets for the
week speak principally of the work
of inventory which has in the main
been completed with the week,amon
a larger number of manufacturing
interests. Among the retail mer-
chants in dry goods and clothing the
January clearance sales have opened
Notwithstanding a movement that
was -tarted to hold up on clothing
sales until month of February. Gran
tie manufacturers and quarry own
ers report a good showing OF bust
ness to commence the year with.
Knit goods plants are busy with pre-
sent orders but make no prediction
for the near future. The year 1913
was banner one in scale manufact-
uring line and the outlook for fut-
ure is reasonably good. One gar
ment manufacturing plant has all the
business it can take care of for the
next few months. The roofing slate
trade was affected by the recent
large failure in that line, the de-
mand for this product was heavy and
the present surplus stocks are small
in fact the demand is ahead of tn
supply. This line of business re-
ports lack of laborers. Creameries
and diarymen report demand has ia
ken output as fast as it could be sup
piled and prices have been firm. The
grain trade speaks of the first part
of last year but indicates the last
half of the year has made up for
that and the showing as whole has
been reasonably good. Since the lat
ter part of last fall there has been
an unusual amount of business done
in buying and selling horses. Lum-
Der camps have required a good deal
of new equipment. There is good
logging snow and this is being taken
advantage of not only by the lumber
men but by the farmer. A year ago
hogs were scarce and prices high, at
present hogs are coming in freely
and prices are easier. Furniture
manufacturers report there is a good
demand for export chairs and the
domestic demand is reasonably good
although it is early yet to say just
what will happen in this line. There
is but little change in the machine
manufacturing line.

Best WAY to Rest,

Sometime the best way to work Is
to take few hours of relaxation be
fore plunging into troublesome duties.
1t is impossible to rest unless there
are quiet and calm in the mind and
peace In ones heart and soul.
A trouble worried brain disturbs
the entire physical forces, making one
incapable of work or ones best eff
forts.
There is a great difference between
the naturally lazy person and one who
knows the need of rest. One cannot
find pleasure in rest unless one works,
for otherwise there is no contrast. It's
like eating when one isn't hungry. No
hurried, flurried, fussy woman can
ever be beautiful.

FRIDAY, JANUARY 16, 1914

The wonderful development of the
moving picture, during the last few
years, has created an entirely new
era in the entertainment business,
especially in the country places.
Without going beyond the con-
firms of your own village, you can,
now, make a trip around the world,
see the great events as they go on
and many famous people, -kings,
queens, emperors, and many other
high dignitaries. You can witness
light drama and vaudeville as well
as the greatest plays ever written
and see the greatest actors and
actresses.
| remember of witnessing recently,
upon the screen, scenes in the daily
life of Count hero Talston, the great
Russian novelist. 1t took me away
beyond the seas to Moscow and to
the farm of this remarkable man.
| saw him among his friends, in
his daily life, and forgot that | was
ever in America.
In the moving picture. you can
see everything from Mutt and Jeff
to the great Passion Play.
You get everything but the voices,
and they are coming. Soon, in the
country towns, talking moving pic
lures will be he ard and seen.
Properly censored, the moving
picture is decidedly beneficial in any
community. 1t is educational and
affords wholesome entertainment, at
a low price, to those who cannot af-
ford to go elsewhere and keeps
people away from places of evil in
fiuence.

New School Sanitation Plan.

A new IDEA in school sanitation has
been tested by the medical director OF
Dartmouth college. About five years
ago he began making bacteriologic eX
aminations of the air of the college
halls and recitation rooms, and soon
found a great periodic variation in the
number of bacteria colonies that de
veloped on the culture media exposed
In the usual shallow open dishes. He
then adopted the plan Of disinfecting
with foraaaldebyde any room showing
more thar thirty-fve colonies of clus
tiers of any kind Of bacteria to dish
This custom has been continued, anG
the result has been quite striking, the
cases OF epidemic colds, influenza and
bronchitis, among the students having
been reduced about one-half.

THE COLD WEATHER POULTRY FOOD.

Fowls have a natural craving for
animal food, especially when the
weather.is cold. All kinds of grain
are good, but to produce lots of

cut bone and meat is absolutely es-
sential. This product can be obtained
