Market Strengthens
On Presidents S Address

New York, Feb 26.-The New York
Evening Sun financial review today
said:
The announcement from Washington
that the president would address a joint
session of congress to ask for authority
to protect American lives and property
against the German submarine menace
practically coincided with the opening
of the stock market. The hour was set
at / 'clock, The full report of the ad-
dress was not received until well toward
2 O'Clock In those four hours trading
was almost at standstill. Prices held
well at the advances Of l to 2 points,
gains brought about by the nervousness
of the short interests, which continued
to put i'll covering orders throughout the
session.
AS matter Of fact, Wall street had
pretty well discounted this latest move
of the White House.

even more interested in was the attitude
of congress.
By slow degrees throughout the mid
day period the industrial list moved up
ward with especial strength in the ship
ping shares and the steel and eoppers
issues.
United States steel pushed its way
through 108 and the munitions and
equipment stocks also made similar
gains.
The railroad list was quiet and ir
regularly changed.
Following the presidents address
there was considerable backing and fill
ing. Both animation and initiative were
lacking. In the last hour an orderly
downward movement was in progress
with recessions ranging from fraction
! to point or so.

PRODUCTION OF BLOODY MILK
More Objectionable as Matter Of Ap.
pearance Than as Menace to
HeaIth-Various Causes.

Bloody milk IS more Objectionable
perhaps as matter Of appearance
than as menace to health. HemOr-
rhages may occur within the udder as
q direct result Of a bruise caused by
rapid motion, by bad position while
the COW is lying down, by the tread OF
a cow in an adjoining stall, or because
Of the breaking of a tiny blood vessel
or the escape Of red corpuscles through
thin vessel walls. Heavy feeding may
also produce bloody milk.
The remedy is careful milking and
light feeding with laxative foods and
repeated small doses Of mild physic.
When the trouble occurs with COWS
giving heavy flow of milk and under
heavy feed, improvement follows a
marked reduction Of the ration. A
change of stall may give good results,
II it allows q COW to obtain a better
position and avoid uneven pressure on
the udder while lying down. Cows with
long, heavy udders should be driven
slowly and should not be driven over
high stills.
