Some very interesting talk regarding
the affairs and prospects of the Lake Su-
perior Corporation were heard i'm the
financial district today. First, and the
most important, was the belief expressed
by one man who Is Interested in the COM
pany that the plan Of readjustment Of
the affairs OF the chief railroads in the
companys system would go through salts
factorily at the meeting in London on
March "a of the bondholders Of the Algo-
ma Central and Hudson Bay Railway and
of the AgOma Central Terminals, Ltd
II was said that the plan is to turn over
the moneys which the latter companies
have to a committee for use In the further
development of both properties. The ter
minal company would receive debentures
of the railway company for advances to
IL.
The earnings If the Lake Superior Cor
running at the rate of about $3.50. 600
month. In November they were about
S275,00O, i'm December approximately
S2s000o aud Il is understood that Janu-
AIRY was a trile better. The company is
booked up through the present year and
orders are now being taken for the first
quarter of 1917.
II was pointed out that the orders which
the company now has on hand are mostly
for domestic use and very little If any. are
orders for munitions. The railroads OF
Canada are now beginning to buy equip
ment and place contracts for rails, and the
company has good share Of these. ON

Noticed in Commercial Paper Market

Although not very great, there Is some
Improvement In the commercial paper and
the collateral money market in Phlladel-
pha. one banker, in speaking of conf
merciai paper today, said that names
which have been out OF the market for
some time are gradually coming back, and
in the last few weeks quite n large NUM-
Der of new names have been noticed.
Rates of paper are still ruling around B
per cent. and, while some paper has
changed hands n trile lower. say at 2ik
and 2ai per cent. such instances have
been few. Some indication of the better
ment in the money market may be had
from the fact that loans Of the Clearing
House members during the last week in-
creased S5,3gS, 600. There Is still a large
amount Of surplus piled up-S57,550 900
which is available for loans.

quiet today than II has been during the
last three days. Price movements as
rule were generally upward however, all
though they we're only fractional Lehigh

exceptions, falling a a while the pre-
fcrred was unchanged The earnings of
the company continue to make good
showing with the same period OF last year,

the belief that the back dividends on the

to be done before anything can be given

Dr. William AlderSon, in Leslie s. If any man really wishes to cure him. self of desire to imbibe strong drinks, there's one sure and certain remedy awaiting him-just let him join one of the allied armies
 For over a year I have been with the men of the British, French and Belgian armies; have seen them in their base camps, in the trenches, at rest. at play and at work. I have therefore had ex- ceptonal opportunities for observing them under all conditions. and I can hon estly and truthfully affirm that in this time I have not seen over half dozen soldiers all told in any stage of intoxica- . tion. When in consequence of the rigid or ders against drink, we were actually suf- fering from a lack of spirits last sum mer on the fighting line (not even hav- ing sufficient for medical purposes), it was rather a shock to us out there to learn that Miss Jane Addams had an- drunk before they would make bayonet charges, also that drugs were used for the purpose of stupefying them to the terrors they were about to face On the fighting line in France and Bel gium, methods most dra stic are used to enforce the orders issued prohibiting the sale or gift of intoxicants to soldiers. For two-and sometimes three-hours a day the estaminets, or cafes, are permitted to sell only the red or white wine of the country, or the particularly innocuous Belgian beer, to soldiers. With regard to the latter beverage I can only say that it contains less than per cent
 alcohol and if there is any man who can
 drink enouh of it to get intoxicated be-
