Women DoIna Mems Work.

One Of the most striking results of
the great war in Europe, is the extent
to which women are doing the work
of men. Travellers to England and
France report that practically every
able-bodied man is in uniform and
women by the thousands are engaged
in doing mems work-acting as con-
ductors and drivers on the cars and
doing all sorts Of heavy work besides.
This shows unexpected possibilities
in what has been mistakenly called
the weaker sex. Women are subject
to ailments which men do not have,
and when so ailing become weak,
helpless sufferers. But remedy has
been found For forty years, Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
has been making such women well
and strong, and as able to do work as
any other Woman.-Adv.

Reached by Industrious

TO CONTINUE SHIPPING
Committee Asks That the Balls Of
Yarn oft over Be Turned
In as Wool Is Scarce
Now.

Today a big consignment Of knitted
goods was shipped to Chicago by the
Keokuk chapter of the American Red
Cross. About the middle Of August
they received telegram, stating
that Major Grayson M. Murphy, head
of the Red Cross commission In
Europe, asked for 100000 knitted
sets by the end, of October. They i'm
mediately started work to supply,
if possible, the $50 sets, consisting of
socks, wristlets. sweaters and NUT
flers, assigned them. September IL,
the first shipment was made and
weekly shipments have gone from
here ever since.
Todays shipment was as follows:
10 dozen pairs socks.
dozen pairs wristets,
4 dozen sweaters.
dozen mufflers.
To date they have shipped:
$50 pairs socks.
los pairs wristlets,
$50 mufflers.
16S sweaters.
IL helmets.
918 knitted articles.
They will continue to send knitted
articles every week until the order
is completed Many things are COM
menced which could not be finished
because the supply Of yarn was tenn
porarily exhausted. If knitters have
balls of yarn left from their work,
they will be doing service il they
turn them in to the committee, for
what you have may be just what
some one else needs to complete her
work. Next weeks shipment will be

Daily Stock Letter.

[Uinted Press Leased Wire Service.l
NEW YORK, Oct. 30.-The New
York Evening Sun financial review
today said:
A substantial accumulation of sell.
ing orders over night and lack of
buying power to meet them readily
caused further reCessions of large
proportions in today's stock market.
At midday the trading died down
and definite stifening tendency
developed after looses had run from
one to six points in both the indus
trial and railroad departments. Prices
gradually clim bed back toward the
Monday closing level but business
was sluggish to a degree and pointed
to a scarcity of supply rather than
to buying initiative. Despite anxiety
over the Italian situation and hesi-
tation which invariably precedes the
quarterly meeting of the. U. S. Steel
directors, scheduled for today after
the closing of the market, sentiment
in Wall street was materially better
than yesterday.
