Traders Chuck Stocks

nouncement on the Presidents mpsstEe
came out saying that the measage is not

street figured Immediately that there was
yelled threat In the notes sent by the
President and that the United States might
bo drawn into the war wild trading fol-
lowed-5stocks being dumped on the market
In the largest amount since the Lusltanin
disaster-and the rallies which occurred
before midday were wiped out and stocks
sent to now low levels for the day.
PRESSURE ON WAR STOCKS
II was natural that the war-order stocks.

should meet with the heaviest pressure. and

Orders to sell came fro mall sections Of
tho country While there was some sun
port offered in the shape OF buying by
bargain" hunters. this was on a very re-
duced scale. and most OF the buying was
by large interests or the professional eIe-
ment. Many margins were wiped out some
times before the holders OF securities had
the opportunity OF putting up additional
capital, and at other times they did not
care to back up their stocks with more
money,
The liquidation which has been going on
In the market since the German peace pro-
posals were first announced more than a
week ago had the effect OF placing stocks
IN much stronger hands than they had been
for some time. but this today did not have
very much effect In holding The price al

o'clock more than 1900 shares changed
hands. and there was every indication that

Cardinal Gibbons believes that the peace
proposal by the German Government and
the answer to IL by Lloyd George In tho
British House OF Commons mark the be-
ginning OF a movement that will end In
peace.
Asked FOR his opinion OF the significance
OF these exchanges, tho Cardinal said:

NOW OPEN TO END THE WAR

gard TO peace in the world war are ex-
Rctly In accord with those expressed by
David Lloyd George In his House of Com
mons speech. according 20 the Rev Joseph
II, Mcmahon, rector OF Our Lady OF Lourdes
Church, who In credited with a more close
relationship with the Vatican than most OF
the American clergy,
Doctor Mcmahon did not say that the
Holy See would support the Entente Pow
ers IN their peace terms.
But, he said, the peace Pope Benedict
wants now Is a peace founded ON justice
and right, above all a peace that includes
the rights OF nations and Of peoples II
must be-and this Is most significant at
this tlme-a peace which, regarding the
rights OF people and OF nations. Is exactly
the kind OF peace which Premier Lloyd
George demanded In the British PaTIia-
ment. In that peace the rights OF humanity
are dominant-peace terms that include
reparation 10 the outraged and a restora-
ton OF rights 10 the small countries"

This was part of one speakers appeal
at Carnegie hall, New York, for money
to help Jewish war victims. The first
response, says a newspaper report,
came from one who could not be so
described. "a little woman in fad
ed hat walked to the speakers feet,
laid down dollar bill, and fed" This
was followed by contributions amount
ing in all to 100000. The greatest
applause was aroused by a man who
gave $3.50, half his weeks salary. An
other man gave $4,000; he was
matched at the other end of the scale
by man who contributed nickel, his

Ing, what gratifying change would
take place. Instead of thousands of
half-sick, anaemic-looking souls with
pasty, muddy compilations we should
see crowds Of happy, healthy, rosy
checked people everywhere. The rea-
son is that the human system does not
rid itself each day of all the waste
which it accumulates under our pres
ent mode of living. For every ounce
OF food and drink taken into the sys-
tenn nearly an ounce of waste material
must be carried out, else it ferments
and forms ptomaine-like poisons which
are absorbed into the blood
Just as necessary as it is to clean
the ashes from the furnace each day,
before the fire will burn bright and
hot, so we must each morning clear

er sick or well, are advised to drink

ter business and professional life in
creases," says writer in the Amer
lean Magazine, "the relation of their
sex to insurance assumes greater inn
portance. Even where a young, self
supporting woman has no old mother
or other relative dependent upon her,
and is absolutely certain she will
never marry and have children, yet
there are several forms Of insurance
and annuities which alone will keep
her out of the old Ladies' Home
later on. But self-supporting women
seem to be relatively far more indif-
ferent to their material future than
men. The head Of the women's
agency of a well-known life insurance
company sends her solicitors to stand
in front of shirt-waist store popular
with working women in New York on
pay day to intercept the girls if pos
sible and induce them to save some
thing for the future, rather than to

They Miss American SLANG.


The Britishers have keen sense OF
humor Passengers returning from
the other side say there is big boom
in American slang in London, but Eng
lishmen are afraid of being vulgar,
therefore they make mess of it when
using it. For instance, that old ex-
preston, so common here some years
ago-'I get you, Steve''-is now said
with great gusto along Piccadilly, Il
get you, Mr.. Stevenson" An actress
just home says she was out one eve
ming in London with party of friends
and happened to say, Look at that
rubberneck over there referring to a
chap who was taking her in. An Eng
lishman in the party, she said, laughed
uproariously at the expression, much
to her surprise. II met him shortly
afterward," she said, "at q cafe with
some friends. He came across and
said to me: Tt always has amused me,
don't you know, that expression of
yours in regard to the chap with the
elastic throat I have never forgotten
it," Certainly keen sense of the
vernacular.

Grown Major"

In town behind the lines occupied
by troops in France, a special officer
is placed in charge, called the Town
Major" 1t is his duty to point out
the safest ways for troops and trans
port wagons which pass through the
town, and also to find billets for
troops staying there. Nobody is al
lowed to occupy a billet without first
notifying the "Town Major who is
responsible for the safety of the build
ing which he allots to the soldiers.
Quite recently, for example, a regiment
occupied the base of ruined cathe-
dral, without first reporting to the
Flown Major" with the result that
when the enemy shelled the town the
vibration brought down another part
Of the building, nearly burying con-
siderable number Of the sleeping
troops.

BILIOUS, HEADACHF,
SICK ''CASCARETS'
Gently cleanse your liver and
sluggish bowels while
YOU sleep.
Get a 1O-cent box.

Sick headache, biliousness, dizzi.
ness, coated tongue, foul taste and foul
breath-always trace them to torpid
liver: delayed, fermenting food in the
bowels or sour, gassy stomach.
Poisonous matter clogged in the in
testines, instead of being cast out
of the system is re-absorbed into the
blood. When this poison reaches the
delicate brain tissue it causes con-
gestion and that dull, throbbing, sick
ening headache.
Cascarets Immediately cleanse the
stomach, remove the sour, undigested
food and foul gases, take the excess
bile from the liver and carry out all
the. constipated waste matter and
poisons in the bowels.
A Cascaret tonight will surely
straighten you out by morning. They
work while you sleep-a 10-cent box
from your druggist means your head
clear, stomach sweet and your liver
and bowels regular for months. Adv.
