NEW TURN, August -l' made free use today of various devel- opments calculated to exert an unfaV- orable influence upon the stock mar ket. Chief of these were the more definite policy outlined by the govern ment toward the coal roads and pro- ducers and the urgent financial re- ouirements of equipment and muni- tions companies. New low records for Delaware and Hudson and New Haven at 1OOh and 30A, respectively, were not without their sentimental effect. New York Central, Reading, Canadian Pacific, Chicago and Northwestern, At lantic Coast Line and many of the low priced rails also made gross re- sessions of one to two points.
 Bethlehem Steel new stocks bore the brunt of the concerted drive against industrials, its extreme loss of six points with a later rally of two resulting from incessant selling based on reports regarding new financing. Related shares yielded one to three points. United States Steel faring bet ter than others of the same class on it's ret loss of s4 to points, at 123%. Total sales 52S,eOO shares.
 Calling of loans by some of the big financial institutions and private bankers created a firmer tone in call money, but time rates were easier.
 Bonds were lower in the main, the Liberty issues showing steadiness, however. at 99.S0 to 99.S4.
 Total sales, par value, s2,690,O00.
 United States bonds, old issues, were unchanged on call.
 CHICAGO GRAINS.
 CHICAGO. August 21.-Firmness displayed by corn early in the day when depleted holdings were enlarged lost its. force later on free selling and prices which advanced about 1z cents above yesterdays closing figures, sag ged below that level. Short covering late in the session followed the ab' sorption of the offerings and prices ral' lied. The close was steady IS lower to h higher with December at 10Sss to 1OSZ and May 107. Wheat finished steady at 21O, an advance of five cents overnight. Oats at the close were 1s higher to $ lower. Provisions held firm. ruling from unchanged to fifteen cents higher.
 Weather conditions in the corn states were generally as benehcial with rains in different localities in the central sections. Cash demand was better but there was a compara tive absence of news to attract trad CTS attention. Shipping sales were placed at 30,000 bushels.
 Small amounts of wheat changed hands to even up outstanding con tracts in September, the only option month.
 Provisions made fair gains, the S2C hog which appeared today in the yards as a new hog record, encouraging buy ing. October lard was the most ac tive commodity.

Rossville, Ga.-Mrs. Kate Lee Able, of this place, writes: "My husband is an engineer, and once while lifting, he in- iured himself with piece of heavy na- chinery, across the abdomen. He was SO sore he could not bear to press on himself at all, on chest or abdomen. He weighed l65 lbs, and ielI off until he weighed no lbs, in two weeks.
 He became constipated and it looked like he would die. We had three different doctors, yet with all their medicine, his bowels failed to act. He would turn up a ten-cent bottle of castor oil, and drink it two or three days in succession. He did this yet without result. We became desperate, he suffered so. He was swol- len terribly. He told me his suffering could only be described as torture.

among them with bayonets and bombs, killing many.
 On the southwest the Canadians were equally successful after very heavy fighting. The British artillery was brought into play. The most strenuous fight of the day was in the centre of the line west of Lens on front near the left of the northwest positions, but the whole line was a seething caldron.
 The Canadians have gained their objective. drawing their lines still closer about Lens and are about to gain their goal. By today's attack the Canadians have gained possession of many embankments and colliery posi- tions which afford excellent positions for other offensive operations.
 Dawn Brings Clash.
 On the west the Canadians and Ger mans clashed in No Mans Land just as the first gray streaks of day were appearing. From the start it was a struggle with hand bombs and bayo- nets, but the Canadians threw them selves upon the enemy with such a rush and fierceness that the Germans were obliged to withdraw. Step by step the Canadians advanced until they had advanced their position to a depth of several hundred yards and taken up new positions which they are holding against counter thrusts.
 The opposing forces are now fight ing close about the city proper where the Germans had fortified themselves in concealed cellers and dug-outs.
 No reports of casualties are to be had. The captured Germans webe due to arrive back of the front early this evening.

FORMER MAYOR IF BIRMINGHAM, ALA,
 ENDORSES TANLAC
'FYou Will Hardly Know Me When We Meet Again, For 1 Am Getting Well," He Writes Friend.

One of the latest additions to the list of leaders of thought and action who have come forward with their unqualified endorsement of Tanlac is the name of Hon. Frank V. Evans, for mer mayor of Birmingham, Ala, eS- state examiner of public accounts of Alabama. and one time editor of one of the south's greatest newspapers The Birmingham Age-Herald.
 Writing to a personal friend in At lanta, MT. Evans Says:
 Birmingham, Ala, Feb. 2. 1916.
 ." By the way, you will hardly know me when we meet again because I am getting well and strong again. As I told you while in Atlanta last month, I have been suffering long time with gastritis, as the doctors call it-really a disordered stomach with consequent constipation, pains in the shoulders, headache, belching. heartburn, loss of appetite, loss of sleep and fainting spells. For weeks I could not sleep on my back.
 One week ago, upon recommends ton of friends, who had tried the medicine, I purchased one bottle or Tanlac and began taking it. Since my second dose I have suffered none of these troubles to which l refer. and really believe I am going to get per fectly well and strong again. Won't that be wonderful at my age? Well, certain it is that Tanlac is wonder ful medicine, and you know that l am not given to 'puffing' mere expert ments and am rather orthodox as to materia medica.
 q shall continue the treatment with perfect confidence in the final results. (Signed) FRANK V. EVANS"
 Commenting on this splendid en- dorsement of Tanlac, G. F. Willis, southern distributor of Tanlac, said:
 Although the list of prominent en- dorsers is a long one, I recall a few leading names that lend both dignity and credit to the entire array. Some of them are:
 Hon. c. w. Mangum of Atlanta, ex- sheriff of Fulton county; Hon. McKen- zie Moss, judge of the eighth district of Kentucky; Hon. Moses R. Glenn. superintendent of printing for the state of Kentucky; Col. Jno. B. Gains, editor and publisher, Bowling Green. Ky; MT. c. c. Cooper. president Georgia Cotton Oil Co.,; MT. 4. V Hill, banw president of South Pittsburg, Tenn; Mr. J. F. Carroll, cottor mill superintendent of Chattahoochee, Ga. {: Hon. S. S. Shepherd. ex-city council man of Atlanta, and many others whose names have heretofore been given to the public"
 Tanlac is sold in Bis5ee by J. H. Ball, in Douglas by Douglas Drug Co.,, in Paradise by G. A. Walker, in Bowie by Bowie Drug Store, and in San Si' mon by J. B. Cooke.-Adv.

 eppelin Is Downed
 In the AustIo-Italian theatre the terrific drive of the Italians is causing the Austrian line to crack at numer- ous points. The Austrians are resist ing vigorously. The battle is proceed ing without interruption, Austrian de- lenses between Corite and Selo and near the strongly fortified Starilokva position are among the places cap tured. Up to Monday night more than 10000 prisoners had been taken, not counting 243 officers.
 The Russians in Galicia and Buko- wina are apparently holding their own against the Austrians and Germans, but in Rumania the Russians and Ru- manians have been compelled to cede further ground near the village Of Coma and east of the Fokshani-Nara- cone-Ajui railway.
 The intensive aerial fighting between the allies and the Germans in France continues. Numerous German ma chimes have been brought down in aerial battles, but the entente allies also have lost a considerable number of machines. British warships have destroyed a German, Zeppelin of the coast of Denmark, the entire crew perishing.

 Marriage, being sacred institution, and in this instance raised to the nth power of being the subject of a wager, is nothing that should be sneaked out of, especially as the young man might be tempted to bet again.

NEW YORK, August 21.-Washing- ton dispatches intimating that the American government will probably indorse loan to Mexico by American Bankers inspired more confidence in the shares of American Companies having large interests in the Southern Republic. Good gains were noted in Mexican Petroleum; American Smelt- CTS and United States Mining and Smelling, there was very little activity in the other departments with the ex- ception of Bethlehem "B" which shows a net loss for the day of four points on report that the preferred stock to be issued would be 50,O00.OO0.
