VICTIMS NOT IN DANGER
Persons Who Took Drugged Tonic
Show No Alarming Symptoms

No serious consequences are feared by
physicians from the accidental serving
10 forty persons Of a nerve tonic that
had been dosed with poison. Mrs. May
Farrell. demonstrator Of the tonic for the
manufacturers at a Market street de-
Iartment store, is still being kept at the
jefferson hospital, but DR.. George Brown,
who is in charge OF the case, says that
so far she has shown no symptoms Of
illness.
1t is now believed that those who took
samples of the drugged tonic got so little
of the poison in their systems that 1t
will not harm them, beyond perhaps a
temporary Inconvenience. Physicians be-
lieve that Mrs. Brown showed remarkable
presence of mind by telephoning to the
manufacturers when she learned the
stun was not pleasing to the taste.

match. She makes of herself a perfect
picture always. and the French or Rus
Sian actress does exactly the same thing.
She buys her clothes with as much care
perhaps more-as she would exercise IN
choosing husband. The beauty of her
couture makes her head always Inn
mensely pictorial, and her walk, the very
way she moves her hands or sits In a
chair blend in exquisitely with the stage
picture which her dramatic art is paint
ing for the audience.

Debutante frocks and
dance gowns for the
slender woman show
charming variations OF
this youthful style. I
remember n well-known
play which was produced
early this fall, wherein
the heroine wore hoops.
The stage isn't the only
place to see the hoop
skirt, either. II is equally
charming when worn by
the debutante, I have
seen a pretty model with
hoops which fiared out
at the sides, and fitted I'm
at the front ard back OF
the skirt. Made of tulle
or net. with an under
dress OF velvet or taffetas,
nothing could look more
attractive.
Today's fashion illus
tration Is another ex-
ample of the INFINITE
possibilities Of the hoop
skirt as a fashion
medium.
White pussy-willow taf-
feta, embroidered with
rose-tinted motifs Is the
material used on the lit
tie gown. The bodice is
plain; widely draped
sleeves of rose tulle, a
corsnge ornament and
wide girdle form the only
adornment. A sweeping
butterfly bow of taffetas
finishes the back.
The skirt is a lovely
model. TUNES are seen
at either side of the
front, with boning in the
lace edge. and a second
edging of chiffon, also
boned. The front of the
skirt is very sheer, with
n dainty cream lace de-
sign, laid In ruffles. The
effect OF the plain front
and the fancy f1aring
tunics at either side Is
decidedly youthful.

In my opinion, this
little car conductor,
with her kindly heart
and her generous Inn

Vice President Thomas R. Marshall was among the spSs 1tators.
 Detroit's was an aggressive game to- day. The Tigers got men on bases either on passes or hits and forced them along by might of bat or bursts of speed, but except in the first in ming, found Boston's fielders barriers of progress beyond third base. In the opening inning, Ruth passed the first man, and hit the next, and with Cobb's sacrifice and Veacll's single, the Tigers scored their only runs.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS STRONG.
Dealings Were Larger and Quotations
 Higher Than in Recent Sessions.

New York, Sept. 20.-Dealings in stocks today were on a larger and more comprehensive basis than at any recent time. to the general accompani- ment of higher quotations. To be sure, war speciaIties yielded none of their recent prominence, but the undertone of the market was strengthened by what seemed to be an inquiry from investment sources for the better known railways and other issues of recognized merit Sentiment was en- couraged by the course of foreign ex- change, which again rose appreciably on the growing belief of a satisfactory consummation of. the Anglo-French credit negotiations. It is understood, however, that some of the more inn portant details connected with that important undertaking remain to be settled. such as the sum total and the exact purpose to which the proceeds are to be applied.
 External conditions, so far as they bore upon affairs across the water, ex- erted little influence in either direction, although London once more reported heavy tone for the international list. Metal stocks, notably American Smelt- ing, which rose 3 IA to 84 3-4, and the shares -of Fother. companies having Mexican interests. improved for the most part, apparently in recognition of latest diplomatic developments affect ing Mexico.
 New high records, some of which were partly lost at the active close, included Stakeholder with an extreme gain of il 3-4 at Al, General Motors 8 to 296, Willys-O Overland to 210, United States Industrial Alcohol S to 90 1-2 and American Woolen 2 3-s to 49 3-4.

United States Steel lied the movement throughout fiuctua&ing within a range of 1 3-S and closing at 76 1-8, a net gain of 3-S. The only heavy features were Colorado Fuel and Great Northern Ore, which relinquished considerable part of last weeks gains on denial of "combina- ton" rumors. Total sales amounted to 930,000 shares.
 Domestic uews included western ad- vices indicating better and easier busi- ness conditions and improvement in the traffic situation, due mainly to heavier receipts from grain centers.
 The bond market was firm without especial feature Total sales, par value aggregated &S,125,000.
 United States bonds were unchanged on call.
