IRISH HOUSEWIFE
HAS A GRIEVANCE
Salvaged Grain Ships Put
CargOes Too Close
FEED GRAIN TO HOGS
But the Drying Out Process Is Said
to Be Worse Than the Chicago
Stockyards
By PATRICK o'FLAHERTY

Cork, Ireland November 23.-(Special
Correspondence -Mother Macree, who
lives out in the Ballymachrone road, has
a brand new ground for complaint
against German submarines.
I found what it was the instant l en-
tered her spick -and-span kitchen. 1t was
as clear as the sound of hammer on an
anvil, and as soothing as the sound OF
million hammers all going at once
against a million anvils.
1t came, She said, from some sloppy
little carts that go down the Ballyma-
chrome road toward the kilns.
1t came in the mornings and it stayed
all day. 1t was there in the evenings
when Paddy McCree came home from
work. 1t was making Paddy smoke too
much, said Mother Macree, and smoking
too much is not good for the heart. And
in the mornings just when Mother
Macree was wishing it would go com
pletely away, along came some more OF
those sloppy little carts on their way
from the quay to the kilns, and 1t was
worse than ever.
1t was worse than the Chicago stock
yards, said Mother Macree, and then she
begged my pardon. for, although the
Chicago stock yards are all Mother
Nacree knows of the promised land, she
considers it indicate to mention them
to an American guest
1t was worse, anyway, than being
gassed, although 1 think if Mother
Macree had ever seen man gassed she
would never joke about it.
Possibly, however, Mother Macree Is
not joking.
Nor is it Mother Macree alone who en-
tertains this housewifely new complaint
against German submarines.
This morning the public health depart
ment of Cork has been bending an in
vestigating eye into the Ballymachrone
road. 1t has bent an inquisitive eye, too,
into the sloppy little carts and into the
lilns and this afternoon it has handed
down a pronunciamento to the broad,
general effect that "as the saving and
drying has given a great deal of EN-
ployment, and as the assurance has been
given that the mal-odor is innocuous,
Mother Macree and her neighbors in the
Ballymachrone road will please carry on
and pay no further heed.
1t has put Mother Macree in fine
state this evening. If the public health
department can't stop it, she is going
back to the gombeen man, she says, and
as for Paddy Macree, he hasn't been
so worked up since the Irish convention,

"N'otty lckIe boy 5atstsr futtIn'l" mentioned to his wife a change in his feelings toward William. i've been watching him." said MT. ParCher, "and l never saw true misery show palmer. He's having q really horrible time. By George, hate him, but I've begun to feel kind of sorry for him. Can't you trot up somebody else, so he can get away from that fat girl?'
 Mrs. ParCher shook her head in a discouraged way. i've tried, and I've tried, and I've tried" she said.
 Well, try again"
 "I can't now" She waved her hand toward the rear of the house. Round the corner marched d short procession of negroes, bearing trays, and the dan cers were dlspcrsiYg themselves to chairs upon the lawn for refresh mentS.
 "Wen, do somelhing,' MT. Parcher urged. We don't want to find him In the ciStern in the morning."
 Mrs Parchcr looked thoughtful, then frightened. "I know" she said. "I'n make May and Lola and their partners come sit in this little circle of chairs here, and then I'll go and bring Will liam and Miss Bpke to sit with them. I'll give Willie tile seat at Lola's left You keep tile chairs"
 Straightway sho sped upon her kind ly errand. It proved successful, so successful indeed, that without the slightest effort. without even hint on her part, she brought not only William and his constant friend to sit in the circle with Miss Pratt, Miss Parcher and their escorts, but Mir. Bullitt, Mir. Watson, Mir. Banks and three other young gentlemen as well. Neverthe- less Mrs. Parcher managed to carry out her plan and, after q little display of firmness, saw William satisfactori- ly established in the chair at Miss Pratt'S left.
 At last, at last he sat beside the fairy-like creature and filled his lungs with ininitesimal particles of violet scent. She whispered:
 "NO'ty tickle boy RatSter. Lola's last night, an tickle boy Batster futtin'l Flut all night wifi dray bid dlrlw
 William made no reply.
 There are occasions, infreQuent, of course, when even a bachelor Is not fattered by being accused of flirting. Williams feelings toward Miss Boke had by this time come to such a pass that he regarded the charge of flirting with her as little less than an implica- ton of grave mental deficiency. And well he remembered how Miss Pratt, beholding his subjugated gymnastics in the dance, had grown pink with laughter. But still the rose leaf lips whispered:

NATURE SPARES
The Stricken Rose From Grief.

What a fortunate provision of nature it is, that deprives the rose of mental suffering; for how poignant would be its grief to discover. in the height of its blooming glory. that a canker fed at It's heart, and that It's beauty and fragrance were doomed forever. Nature always spares the suffering; she is a yeritable store-house of pleasing rewards, for those who seek her aid. In the years gone by falling hair and grayness have cast a gloom over the lives of thousands of young women. but thanks to the in- vestigations of scientists the true cause Of hair destruction Is now known to be a germ or parasite that burrows Into the hair follIcles. Newbro's Herpicide absolutely destroys thls germ, thus permitting the hair to grow as na- ture intended. Sold by leading drug Eists. Send 1Oc. in stamps for sample to The Herpicids Co.,. Detroit.

 Well-earned Reputation

For months Skagway readers hay seen the constant expression of praise for Doan's Kidney Pills, and read about the good work thea have done. What other remedy ever produced such convincing proof of merit?
 Audrey Martin, 721 F. Street, sa- cramento, Calif., says: "Exposure to dampness and bad weather at my work brought on kidnety trou- ble years ago. A steady ache in ths small of my back caused me a great deal of suffering, My kidneya acted toe often and that broke up my rest at night. My back was so weak and painful I could hardly stooD ever to pick up anything and it was just as hard to straighten again. Doan's Kidney Pills gave me more help than I had ever re- ceived from any other medicine"
 (statement given January 15, 1916.)
 On April 10, 1917 Mir Martin added Ut has been a long time since I have needed Doan's Kidney Pills. but my faith in them hasn't changed"

 That's that Miss Pratt" observed Miss Boke, following Williams gaze with some interest. You met her Yet%
 "Yeh," said William.
 She's been visiting here all sum- mer," Miss Boke informed him. "I was at a little tea this afternoon, and some of the girls said this Miss Pratt said she'd never dream of getting en- gagged to any man that didn't have S75O,OOO. don't know If It's true or not, but expect so. Anyway, they said they heard her say so."
 William lifted his right hand from his ankle and passed 1t time after time across his damp forehead He did not believe that Miss Pratt could have Px- pressed herself in so mercenary a man. ner, but If she had-well. one fact in British history had so impressed him that he remembered it even after eI- animation: William Pitt, the younger, had been prime minister of England at twenty-one. Undoubtedly Miss Boke's bit of gossip added somewhat to the already sufficient anIietieS of Williams evening.
 Up at the lake" Miss Boke chat tered on. i've got to use the hotel dining room for the hops. It's a floor a good deal like this floor Is tonight just about oily enough and as nice & floor as I ever danced on. We have awfly good times up at the lake. Course there aren't so many Men up there like there are here tonight, and must say am glad to get a chance to dance with a Man again! l told you you'd dance all right once We got started, and look at the way It's turned out! Our steps just suit exactly! If must say 1t, could scarcely think of anybody l ever met I'd rather dance with. When anybOdys step suits in with mine that way, why, I love to dance straight through an evening with one person, the way we're doing"
 Yes" William reflected, it had to be mew With all the crowd to choose from, Mrs. Parcher had to go and pick on him! All, all the others went about free as air, Hitting from girl to girl girls that danced like girls! All, all ex- ceDt William danced with Miss PrAttl What Miss Pratt had offered him was a choice between the thirty-second dance and the twenty-hrst extra. That was what he had to look forward to- the thirty-second reg'lar or the twenty first eXtrai
 Meanwhile, merely through eternity, he was sealed unto Miss Boke.
 The tie that bound them oppressed him as if 1t had been an i'll omened matrimony, and he sat beside her like an unwilling old husband. All the while Miss Boke had no appreciation whatever of her companions real con- dition, and when little, spRsmodic, sin Ister changes appeared fin his face, as they certainly did from time to time, she attributed them to pains in his ankle.
 So they danced again and again.
 When the fourteenth dance came, about half .Rn hour before midnight

 Miss Boke danced and danc"d with him. She danced him on and on and on.

CLOSES LOWEST POINT

Chicago. Sept. 15.-Nearly ideal
weather and an increase Of rural Of
ferings furnished much Of the impetus
today for a decided downward swing
which took place in values of corn.
The market closed heavy, IL to 2
cents net lower. Oats finished 4 to
Ia cent off. Provisions gained 10 to
As cents.
High temperatures prevailed over all
important corn states. and there was
no rain of consequence. The fact that
such conditions were just the kind for
ripcning the crop made an instant i'm
preston on trade. Bearish sentiment
deenened after the issuance Of the
government weekly forecast indicating
generally fair weather and seasonable
warmth for the next thr6e or four
days. Weakness In the cash market
was likewise in favor of the bears
No important reaction developed and
the market closed at almost the lowest
point of the day.
Oats weakened with corn. Seaboard
advices implied that yesterdays ex-
port sales exceeded one million bush-
els. but this circumstances failed to
count in the absence of any fresh de-
mand from the east. Predictions OF
larger receipts were current.
Milling orders for wheat here con-
tinued to be far in excess of the ar
rivals. The total receipts for the week
in Chicago were only about one-third
of the amount at the corresponding
time last year. Other domestic ter
minals also reported decided Short
age. At winnipeg, however receipts
surpassed to liberal extent the fig
ures of 1915.
Bullish estimates of the amount of
recent purchasing for Belgium gave
strength to provisions. Another ele-
ment of firmness was the expected
scarcity of hogs next month.
Days range:
No trading in wheat.

MONEY is UNSETTLED

New York, Sept. IA diminished
demand for stocks today led to re-
sumption Of speculative selling, and
prices were again depressed, although
losses in most instances were small.
Trading was light and the disappear
ance of the strength which charac-
terized yesterdays market was due
less to aggressive bearish tactics than
to absence of support Total sales
were 10000 shares.
At the opening price changes were
small and irregular, with no appear
ance of initiative on either side of the
market. The bears moved with eau
ton in view Of yesterdays display of
strength, and made little effort to in
fluence the course of prices until it
became apparent that few buying or
ders We're on hand. Stocks then came
on the market in greater supply and
thslist eased off. Quotations stiffened
temporarily in the second hour. but
the rally was not held and the close
was heavy. The renewed heaviness OF
the market apparently was due prin-
cipally to professional selling. although
the days news contributed to this end
Petrograd dispatches indicating that
new complications had arisen in the
Russian political situation. reports of
the presence of n hostile submarine in
the western Atlantic and reports that
industrial taxation would be largely
increased tended to depress the mar
ket.
The chief weakness appeared in the
coppers. steels and q few other in
dustrials. The motors were relatively
strong. In the railroad section opera
tons We're light and movements small.
Rates on some foreign centers fluc-
tuated to a degree which is unusual for
a half day session of the exchange
market. Rubles contained to reflect n
good inquiry, rising to II.
The quotation for lire jumped Is
points to $50 on Washington reports
of further important successes for the
Italian arms. The bank statement
showed further contraction in loans
OF nearly s26.000,O00, rejecting the
weeks liquidation in stocks. Surplus
| reserves decreased $11,413,OOO.
Bonds were irregular. Total sales,
par value. $1,235,O0O. Liberty bonds
sold at 1896 to 100 United States
