was announced This means that all
OF the merchants SHOULD be prepared
when they open for business on Sat
urday morning. The reason for THIS
is that the grocery stores become
more or less crowded for room as sat
urday advances and it was thought
that 1t would be only fair to them to
Judge early, while the store was still
looking in good condition.
The committee is also suggesting
to the merchants that they watch de-
tails this time. Some of those who
were judged low last time were juds-
ed so on small details. 1t has been
suggested that all of the merchants
watch these. One merchant felt quite
aggrieved over his per cent until he
was told that the reason for the cut
in his percentage was because of dirty
brass around the window, whereas
his neighbor had taken pains to shine
his.
Emile F. Renaud was made chair
man of the committee, to succeed
James Morgan. who has left the city.

THE DOORWAY OF THE OLD
HOME


The doorway Of the old home
Is stained with age and small;
And in the early twilight,
When purple shadows fall
Across the doorstep,
My half shut eyes can see ~
A row OF clear cut visions,
That stand and smile at me.
The doorway of the old home
Has often opened wide
For school girl and for student,
For mother and for bride;
And soldier feet have travelled.
While eyes were dim with pain,
Across the narrow threshold
That ne'er came back again.
The doorway of the old home
Has heard loves stories told;
Has seen the splendid autumn
OF people growing old;
And baby hands have fumbled
At lock and heavy key
And feeble arms stretched from it
To children out at sea.
The doorway of the old home
Is stained with age and small,
And yet in glowing summer,
In winter and in fall,
1t gives CHEEKY welcome,
And knowing eyes may see
The row of clear cut visions
That stand and smile at me. f

ANALCANATED COPPER
 GAINS ONE POINT
Stock Market Moves Within VeTy
 Narrow Limits.

New York Feb. 27.-The stock mar lxet moved within very narrow limits during todays short session, opening with gains in most of the better known issues, but soon falling back on moderate offerings. Traders seemed loath to make new commitments over the weekend in view of the foreign situation. Amalgamated Copper was the only speculative leader to manifest marked strength, advancing point. The Pacifics and grangers were bare ly ready while trunk line shares sold off fractionally. Specialties fur nished their quota of the sessions small output, Petroleums showed weakness, while motor stocks were relatively strong. The closing was firm. Bonds were irregular.
 Wall street, 10:30 a. m.-Advancos ranging from fractions to point were recorded in today's early market deal ings, Anal Copper being the strongest of the active group. Trading was light and of the usual weekend char acter, suggesting an evening up of contracts. New York Central was the only important issue to reflect pres sure. Specialties, including the motor shares, were strong, Willys-Oyerland gaining three points. The London mar ket for Americans was dull, with mixed gains and losses.

The question as to how long you indigestion, dyspepsia or out-of-order stomach is merely a matter of how soon you begin taking Tonoline Tabs
 People with weak stomachs should take Tonoline Tablets occasionally, and there will be no more indiges- ton, no feeling like lump of lead in the stomach, no heartburn, sour ris- ings. gas on stomach, or belching of undigested food, headaches, dizziness or sick stomach; and besides, what you eat will not ferment and poison your. breath with nauseous odors. All these symptoms resulting from sour, out-of- -order stomach and dyspepsia. are generally relieved five minutes after taking Tonoline Tablets.
 Go to your druggist and get a $1 box of Tonoline Tablets and you will always go to the table with a } hearty appetite, and what you eat will taste good, because your stomach and intestines will be clean and fresh, and you will know there are not going |, be any more bad nights and miserable daylfor you.

disturbed credit and trade as to inn pair confidence and no real improve ment in the latter respect can be expected unEl the prospects for peace improve. An early terminal tion of the war would undoubtedly be powerful stimulus for business recov- cry in the United States. At present business is being conducted on re- stricted lines. Clearing house returns show diminished activity in all parts of the country unless it be in the Middle Northwest. Railroad earnings are also unsatisfactory, the total for roads reporting thus far in February showing a decrease of over ten per cent. The improvement previously reported in the steel industry is well maintained, and production is now es- timated to be running at about 65 per cent. of total capacity. The bulk of new orders came from the railroads and prices are fairly well maintained In the cotton goods industry, orders are being placed with much caution though on a strictly moderate scale and the outlook is somewhat brighter than a month ago. The money mar ket is easy and 1oanable funds are plentiful to good borrowers. The in VeStment demand for securities, how ever, is spasmodic, and there is a dis position to await further develop ments in foreign financing. Prepara- tions are being made for the Notation of big war issues on the other side, and this unavoidably exercises a de- pressing effect upon the entire mar ket. March dividend disbursements are estimated at $116,L ,000, a de- crease of $10, 100000 compared with last year. The corporate maturities which will have to be provided for in March aggregate about $72,000, 900, against S53,000,000 year ago, and include S23,000,000 Boston and Maine notes; also SIP, ,00O Amalgamated Copper notes. Not a few of our best stocks are selling below intrinsic values at the moment, but the condi- tions are against any permanent ad- vance for the time being. The imme- diate outlook is for an irregular mar ket, and the upward movement will undoubtedly depend upon the continu- ance of favorable conditions.
