LINERS
NEED TRiErS

When your liver is run down and
tired, you need to take TRIETS to
build IT up again. They will tone
It up and make IT we'll.
When you have a poor appetite 4:
when your stomach is sour. and
your breath bad; when your skin is
sallow and full of pimpleS or your
tongue Is coated; those are sure
signs that something is wrong with
your liver. TRlETS remove the
undigeSted food, waste matter. and
surplus bile from the bowel sys-
TEN. thus taking away the cause of
constipation, biliousness, $ i c k
headaches, fainting spells and tor
pid liverS.
Take a TRIET tonight and see
how well you'll feel in the morning.

FINANCE

NEW YORK. Feb. 23.-Professional
selling. prompted mainly by further
unfavorable foreign developments.
provoked fresh selling of securities on
the resumption of operations today.
There was a comparatively large oc-
|. cumuAation OF orders over the double
holiday. no inoOnsiderable part of
which emanated from out-of-tOwn
sources. with an admixture OF Euro
pear offerings. This latter phase OF
the situation was most noticeable In
the bond department, where numerous
sales for future delivery" at conces-
sions were effected.
The o~verhanging fear OF interna-
tional complications was plainly re-
iected I'm the several markets for ex-
change. most Of which were again de
moralized and In favor OF this coun-
try.
The selling in this market began at
the outset and was maintained. ex-
cept for irregular periods of extreme
dizziness. for the greater part u the
session. Many OF the principal shares
made their lowest prices for the cur
rent movement and a number of new
minimums were made. Baltimore Il
Ohio common and preferred. Seaboard
Air Line preferred. Southern Railway
preferred. New Haven and Chesa-
peake * Ohio were among the stocks
10 fall TO latest established quotations.
Most OF the specialties including the
petroleums, motors and a score of dor
mant issues fell from I TO over 5
points. United States steel was again
%steadiest OF the speculative favorites,
despite the large %overturn. Anthra-
cite shares were weakest Of the high
priced railcTs, with n revival of rum
ors affecting dividend stability. Total
sales 22O. 200 shares.
Losses in some Of the investment
bonds ranged from I 20 = points. with
a larger volume OF trading. Total
sales. par value. aggregated $685.
600.
United States government bonds
were unchanged on call.

NRQHARD
GLLANINGS
WINTER WORK IN ORCHARDS
When Ground 10 Frozen IL Favorable
Time for Hauling and Spreading
Manure-Add Bone Meal.

The winter when the ground il
frozen hard is q favorable season for
hauling out with cart or sled the ma
nure needed. In spring the ground
is too soft to haul over and other
work Is too pressing; the result is
this important matter 10 put OF for
another year The manure should be
hauled and spread evenly over the
ground. Do not place directly around
the trunks; it only affords a harbor
for mice and insects. The manure
should be rotted and from granted
cattle or horses. Straw and corn
stalks. mixed with a little animal ma
nure, is poor stuff and is only valuable
as mulch. This kind Of manure
should be hauled out to the orchard
and piled. Mix half-bushel OF raw
bone meal in each two-horse wagon
load of manure as 1t Is piled and make
compact heap, which will soon rot
down, and, when we'll rotted, should
be spread. About one to two bushels
is the proper quantity for each large
tree. The manure should be spread
in circle as far out as the branches
extend.
Practical growers are now using
from 400 to 800 pounds of animal bone
and potash fertilizer per acre. The
fertilizer is drilled in with rye IN the
early fall, the rye is turned under IN
April-for green manure. This meth.
cd is found to be the cheapest and
best method of sertilizing the orchard
