Late Drive Sends Stocks
Lower After Uncertain,
Quiet Trading.
! EARLY GAINS LOST
IN FINAL DEALINGS
More Attention Paid to Chance
of Serious Complications
from Mexican Outrage.

Following the severe reaction Of
the first two days Of the week and
Wednesdays recovery. securities
moved in uncertain fashion Yesterday.
The readjrStment OF prices apparently
brought in no large increase OF public
purchasing, and after some further
Improvement on short covering in the
forenoon the market became dull, with
only few making much improvement.
In the last hour the short interest,
seeing that there was no disposition
TO follow up the advance, sold heavily
and prices weakened rapidly. in some
cases TO new lows for the week. At
the end OF the day most active issues
had lost their early improvement. and
showed irregular losses.
More attention was paid than on
the day before 10 the possibility that
we might at last take active measures
70 protect our citizens in Mexico. The
latest outrage, coming while Congress
is in session, may bring action where
previous attacks on life and property
Of American citizens had passed with
llTlle HollCe. AHt w
owe 10 the world for order in Mexico
appears less likely 10 be satisfied
through recognition Of CsrrAnZa.
Companies having interests south
Of the Rio Gysnde were weak in the
early dealings and extended their
losse. later. Mexican Petroleum broke
badly in the late setback, getting down
6 points below Wednesdays close and
ending not far above its lowest. Amer
lean Smelling and Refining lost over 8
points on the day.
Crucible Steel was in favor all day
long. II failed 20 change hands as
low as Wednesdays close and was at
one time up more than points. New
York Central was particularly strong
for a while, rising above III TO its
best in some years. In the late after
noon. however. il gave way rather
easily and ended unchanged, more
than a point below its best. United
States Steel. on unusually small deal
ings. lost nearly a point, after having
been heavy all day.
Dealings Of around half a million
shares were principally accounted FOR
by transactions in the first and final
hours. Bonds were fairly firm, with
dealings better distributed.
After COnslneIhDle UuCtualiO!i SUI
ling closed a shade higher on the day
Italian exchange went 70 new low
record. but made some recovery:
Abroad the Bank Of England reported
an addition Of nearly 100000 to its
gold. Recovery from year-end strain
appears In q reduction OF more than
$4,000. 900 in loans and in lowered de-
posits. The reserve proportion rose
! about III per cent 20 nearly ~
about where il stood the Thursday pc
fore Christmas. Though little gold is
heinr sent here. the Bank of England
ennoIjnced Yesterday shipments Of
more than Sl.5OOOO0 20 Spain and Of
small amounts 70 Canada and 70 South
America.

and she is as financially able to create
1t Us the people Of England or Ham
b@rg were. The objection, too. may
be made that the time has not arrived
for such an enterprise, and that it
would be wise to leave it for future ac-
complishment. The reply to this is
that it is unquestionably wise to do a
worthy thing as soon as possible. and
that our own generation should exer-
else the privilege and enjoy the re-
ward of so important an achievement.
The financial question, Of course.
will be raised, but no more forcibly
than at any future time. This ques-
ton should not trouble us. Surely the
people Of the great States that this
building would represent. would not
fail to respond to an undertaking so
patriotic in it's designs as this. If nee
essary, the money could be raised in
Massachusetts, alone for the undertake
Ing.
If this plan meets with the approx
al of those who have the tercentenary
of the Landing Of the Pilgrims in
charge, steps should be at once taken
to formulate plans for its accomplish
ment, for Art is long and Time is
fleeting."

CONSTANT PAIN IN BACK
FROM KIDNEY TROUBLE

wish to tell you of my condition of
about four years ago. l was afflicted
with kidney and bladder troubles and
had constant pain In my back all tho
time for about two or three months.
did not have any appetite and could
not rest at night and was hardly
able to do my house work. I saw DIR.
Kilmer's advertisement and decided to
give Swamp-Root trial: after taking
four bottles of Swamp Root I was re-
stored to health and have not been af-
flicted since. l will cheerfully recon-
mend DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root to
others afflicted with kidney and blad-
der troubles.
Yours truly.

Quickly Stops Head
Colds and SnuffleS
Catarrhal Germs Cause Of Most Colds.
New Germieidai Air Treatment Best
Remedy for These Common ALL

ments.
Reliable authorities say that upwards
of so per cent of the so-called colds in the
head and throat are in reality dangerous
indications of the presence Of acute ca
tarrh. When you hear a person sneeze
throwing catarrh germs into the air for
some other person to breathe and it's
just as certain that the person breathing
these germs will soon have catarrh or a
catarrhal cold. The time to make these
germs harmless and drive out your ca
tarrhal cold Is the very instant you feel
desire to sneeze or cough, or start to
shuttle and wipe your nose every few
minutes.
The quickest and surest way to stop a
head cold and drive catarrh germs out of
your system is to pour a few drops Of the
oil OF Hyomei pronounced High-o-me)
into one Of the Hyomei inhaling devices
which comes with each large package
and place the inhaler between your lips
and breathe the germicidal but pleasant
smelling air into your nose, throat and
lungs. This air utterly destroys all ca
tarrh germ life, quickly opens the closed
air passages. makes breathing easy.
clears your stuffed-up head, cleans out
your throat and ends your snuff1ing and
nose blowing. There certainly Is no
quicker or more satisfactory way Of
breaking up a cold, even after it is we'll
and a few weeks use will do
away with all danger Of chronic catarrh.
Sold BY druggists everywhere including
Webster & Co. who agree to
return the full purchase price to any
who use 1t and are not satisfied. In buy
Ing Hyomei for the first time be very sure
to get the large size which contains tho
inhaler as this is very essential for best

| Though the Puritans differed in unes-

mouth, they soon came together, and
today we recognize no differences be-

followed them, is precious to US all.
