The NeU York American sounds a
word OF warning to Wall Street In the
following:
But serious students OF the market
look with apprehension on the open

known the allies have not attempted
an offensive movement. not having
had sufficient ammunition. Now they
are prepared, and what may happen
somewhere In France within the
next month Is quite likely to staggsr
humanity.
How will the stock market with
stand such a shock. and especially IL
the Germans prove victorious? For
II must In honesty be admitted that
the stock market r. on the side Of
the allies. This Is not an opinion. 1t
Is the record OF a fact as proved py

Demand Out Distances
Supply in Epery Line
Financial Editors Almost Unanimous In Comment
ing on Abnormal Commercial Condition of
Today Resulting From Prosperity.

That prosperity has made Americas
commercial condition abnormal seems
to be the concensus OF opinion of the
press Of the country. The financial
editors are almost unanimous today.
In declaring that the demand has far
ut.distanced the supply in almost
every branch Of commerce.
Regarding the condition OF the steel
market. the Neto York sun has this 70
say:
The demand for rolled steel
products. especially for steel bars,
plates and shapes, continues most
active. with heavy tonnagcs going
begging. Both dealers and con-

several thousand ton lots have
been made at premiums OF several

The following comment, on the dry
goods market in today's issue OF the
Nsu York Times gives food for
thought:
Tucked away among the advertise
ments in fine type, under the head
ing OF Buyers wants In the Times
the other day, was one from a mail
order house which ranks among the
largest In the country. 1t said:
''Ginghams wanted; checks and
stripes: quantity no object. Cash"
That little Advertisement was true
and very forcible symptom Of the un-
tsaul conditions now existing In the
txetile markets. In normal times
house like the one advertising would
place Its order In advance with the
manufacturers and would get its de-
liveries as called for. II business
turned out little brisker than 'ex-
pected. a repeat order--especially II
the goods were staple ones-would
hurry along the extra amount need
ed. Just now this cannot be done
as to very many constructions. The
mills have been selling all they could
make and they have no stock goods
on hand. Those who want more.
particularly OF colored goods. must
get them where they can. and IN
such quantities as are available, IL
any are. This set of facts mirrors
the conditions. An enlarged demand
has come at time when producing
facilities, cannot meet IT, Advancing
prices are merely a concomitant with
out anv effect IN lessening the de-
mand. The extension Of the wave OF

How to keep from having the grip
when everyone about you is suffering
from this agsravatine disease and you
are beginning to have the symptoms

been uppermost in the minds Of hun
dreds Of thousands during the present
epidemic.
In an attempt TO answer It a represen-
tative OF the New York Tribune inter
viewed large number OF prominent ply
sicians and submitted to Health Com
missioner Haven Emerson summary Of
their advice. The latter put his official
o. X. on the following treatment:
Take cathortic
Then take a brief hot bath TO warm
up the body and start the blood running
freely.
Drink a large howl of hot iemonaGe
and go to bed early. Cover ones self
thoroughly and warmly. even TO an extra
pillow to protect the head and ears, and
set nine hours sleep.
Take the greatest care. by dressing
warmly, not TO catch cold in the morn
ing.
If the trouble seems TO be chiefly In
the throat. wrap the neck in a wet
wooden cloth covered by q dry wooden
cloth"
The official qualified his recommends-
ton as far as the hot bath part Of the
treatment is concerned, saying that none
should DO this unless they were very sure
that they would be able to keep them
selves perfectly warm during the night
ana the morning afterward.
But the hot lemonade. the cathartic

AIDING A GOOD CAUSE.

Our townsman, E. McCammon, seems
to be fortunate in being on the right
spot in exactly the right time. He hap
pened to be in Seattle the day following
the death of Judge E. X. Pendergast.
He was introduced to Governor Lister
early in the morning, and just as ne
was felicitating the governor upon his
reelection a news boy drifted along
with an armfull of morning papers. Mr..
McCammon invested and the very first
item that caught his eye was the an
nouncement of the death of the Okla
hogan county Judge. He at once called
the attention of Governor Lister tn the
unfortunate incident, and recommended
the appointment of Judge Neal to fill
the vacancy, explaining that Judge
Neal was stalward democrat, one of
the Governors most enthusiastic sup
porters, and a popular resident OF the
judiciary district. Without a moments
hesitation the governor wired in the
appointment. Mr.. McCammon never in
listed his influence in a better cause,
for he probably expressed the senti-
ment of nine-tenths Of the residents of
the two counties forming the district. D.,
