81 asked and the last sale reported al
6nl. There Was Il good demand Tor
the stock on the Pittsburgh exchange,
the last sale being al 5J"4, anu bo
was asked al the close.
Apparently the stock Is going into
the hands OF persons seeking an in.
restment rather than speculation. and
this indicates that the investing pub
lie realizes the value OF LaBclle conf
mon from that standpoint.
\ person we'll yerScd in the affairs
OF LaI}elle said yesterday that the
cOmpanyS earnings tor the months OF
May. June and July lacked only 5000
OF totalinE $l.500D poo. JunrS earnings
were the biggest. being $5lH.00n. while
for May and July they appropriated
$475,000 each month. The August
report has not been made public. but
il is understood it will show earnings
about on the average for the past
Quartes. For the remainder OF the
year, the months of September. Octn-
Der, November and December. II Is
said the earnings will be not less than
100000 month. During the ,hrSt
quarter. the earnings were about
81, 100. 900.
II is certain. therefore. tina; the
earnings of LaBele in 1915 will eN.
coed $4,000, 200. or this amount 81 BOO
900 will pay the regular and back dlvi.
dends on the preferred stock. leaving
between $3.50o.00O and $4,000. oOH.
which might be applied ia The credit
OF the common stock This would
place il on Il basis OF between 81 per
cent and 40 per cent.
II is the general impression that the
directors will not long delay placing
the common stock on dividend basis
after January |. II will probably be
placed on basis OF four per cent and
possibly higher rate. In view OF there
facts. the good demand for l,aBelle
common is but logical. and the STOCK
should so much higher.

factory. it is understood. probably on
the basis Of about 80 per cent on the

total about $500, 100000. With a cap
jtalization of S6.750 900 as compared
with LaBelle's stock of 10000 900 the
showing Of the Wheeling Steel & Iron
company Is regarded as yer? good.
The Wheeling Steel & Iron company
operated under somewhat of diSad-
vantage, by having 10 buy quantities
OF iron ore and also sheet bars at rel.
atively high prices. while I.aRellr is
a better self-contained organization,
and did not have these difficulties.

The following letter Of greeting

read from Mrs. L. II. Gulick, the
founder Of the organization. She
conducts the Sebago- -Wohelo Camp

Last summer Mrs. Gulick felt that Z
would be a good thing for her girls
to adopt a camp baby for the sum-

&C care and the great out-of-doors.
Mrs. Gulick speaks of this in the
letter.
Dear Camp Fire Girls
My daughter, Mrs Robinson, will
probably tell you about our camp
baby. Janet and what it meant to all
Of us to have her with us last sum-
mer. Janet blossomed under the love
and care we gave her She was just
like any other baby when she came
TO camp but she did not seem like that
to any of us at the end Of the summer.
II she had faults. we were blind to
them. We were all as a mother to
her. I thoroughly believe that love
nourishes the fine things OF the spirit
just as rain refreshes a withering
plant. Janet grew. The great out
doors was hers and she thrived on
that. but the biggest thing our baby
had was love. We all loved her. When

Jump from Bed
in Morning and
Drink Hot Water
Tells why everyone should
drink hot water each morn
Ing before breakfast.

Why is man and woman, half the
time, feeling nervous. despondent, wor-
riedi some days headachy, dull and un-
strung; some days really incapacitated
by Illness.
II we all would practice inside-bath-
ing, what a gratifying change would
take place. Instead of thousands of
half-sick, anaemic looking souls with
pasty, muddy compilations we should SEQ
crowds of happy, healthy, rosy-cheeked
people everywhere. The reason is that
the human system does not rid itself
each day of all the waste which It ac-
cumulates under our present mode Of
living. For every ounce of food and
drink taken into the system nearly an
ounce of waste material must be car
ried out, else 1t ferments and forms
ptomaine-like poisons which are alb
sorbed into the blood.
Just as necessary as 1t is to clean the
ashes from the furnace each day, before
the fire will burn bright and hot, so
we must each morning clear the inside
organs of the previous days accumu-
lation of indigestible waste and body
toxins. Men and women, whether sick
or we'll are advised to drink each morn
ing, before breakfast, a glass of real
hot water with teaspoonful of lime
stone phosphate in 1t, as harmless
means of washing out of the stomach,
liver, kidneys, and bowels the indigOgt-
ible material, waste. sour bile and
toxins, thus cleansing, sweetening and
purifying the entire alimentary canal
before putting more food into the stom-
ach.
Millions of people who had their turn
at constipation, bilious attacks. acid
stomach, nervous days and sleepless
nights have become real cranks about
the morning inside-bath. A quarter
pound of limestone phosphate will not
cost much at the drug store. but is
sufficient to demonstrate to anyone its
cleansing, sweetening and freshening
effect upon the system.-Advt.
