sponsible and accurate index Of the in
dustrial activity that our country is en-
joying. During the June quarter defiy-
cries were at virtually the full capacity
of the mills. Hence spectacular in
creases in earnings, such as many seem
ed to expect, must have represented in
large. measure effect of higher prices
paid by consumers, rather than an ex-
pansion in the volume of products deliv
cred. SO long as the wars demands
continue there is not likely to be any
important restriction of the steel trade.
When hostilities end readjustments are
inevitable; but, as l already have noted,
there is slight tendency at the moment
among operators to look for into the
future.
1t is fortunate that caution is being
displayed in banking and other conserv-
ative circles. Otherwise, with the ease
that is so clearly evident in the credit
situation, there would be difficulty in
preventing the danger of runaway
market Thoughtful persons know that
with the intense activity in trade and
industry, with the high wages and the
consequent enormous spending power of
labor, and with the large profits of
manufacturers, all these are merely the
results Of temporary conditions that
sooner or later must assume more
nearly normal position. The commodity
markets as well as securities are still
moving upward. So long as the war
lasts there seems slight probability of
lasting reaction, as the foreign de-
mand, regardless of cost, is so insistent.
1t is difficult to see the end of this
increasingly difficult situation that so
freely affects conditions at home.
New enterprise is active, the wars
demands still being strong stimulant
in this direction. During October new
companies to produce munitions, manu-
facture dyes and chemicals, operate ship
ping companies and develop oil and gas
resources were formed with an aggre-
gate capital of $75,330 900, bringing the
total of capitalization for these and
similar companies to total of close to
$900,000,O0o during the war period.
Railroad earnings still are highly salts
FACTORY. Comparisons, however, now are
being made with a period of activity.
Hence the same spectacular increases
(sueh as have been the rule when com
parison was made with the lean year
of 1910 are not to be expected.
The market for securities may be ex-
pected to witness active fluctuations.
with general trend governed by the
tendency toward credit initiation. Large
interests will pursue the usual course
OF periodically taking profits. There
will, too, remain the usual danger of
shocks that have been a constant feat
ure during the war.

SALTS IF bACKACHY
AND KIDNEYS HURT
Drink Lots Of Water and Stop
Eating Meat for a While
If Your Bladder
Troubles You

| When you wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region il
generally means you have been eating
too much meat, says well-known au-
thority. Meat forms uric acid which
overworks the kidneys in their effort
to filter it from the blood and they
become sort of paralyzed and loggy.
When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog you must relieve them, like you
relieve your bowels; removing all the
body's urinous waste, else you have
backache, sick. headache, dizzy spells;
your stomach sours, tongue is coated,
and when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine is
cloudy, full of sediment, channels often
get sore, water scalds and you are
obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night.
Either consult good, reliable physi-
clan at once or get from your pharma-
cist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take a tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast for few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, com
bined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to clean and stimulate
sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize
acids in the urine so it no longer irri-
tates, thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is life saver for regular
meat eaters. 1t is Inexpensive, cannot
injure and makes delightful, effer-

Stock Market Not
Affected by Election

New York, Nov. S.-The New York

While the stock market today re-
Elected to some extent the varying un.
certaniies in the outcome of the pres
idential election, the same feeling
which has prevailed throughout the
campaign resulted little as market
factor as seen in today's trading.
There was an accumulation of buying
orders over the election recess which
were put through when the market
opened and which carried prices quick,
ly to higher levels
The trading was very brisk and the
tone of the market buoyant in the first
hour of the afternoon session. Follow
ing steel common central went forward
IN a broad movement to above ll0, a
gain of six points or thereabouts.
Sloss sheffield, Republic Steel and
Bethlehem Steel also sold at record
prices, the last named at 6st, an nd.
vance of 10 points from Monday.
In the second hour of the afternoon
n period was put to the upward swing
and reactions of one to two points were
recorded quite generally throughout the
lis, due very largely profit taking.
There was further profit taking in
the late trading, which exerted con
siderable pressure on prices, although
in the most active issues the level was
still materially above Mondays clos
