An Old Mans Stomach.

AS we grow older and less active.
less and less food is required to meet
the demands Of our bodies. II too
much is habitually taken, the stomach
will rebel. When a man reaches the
advanced age of IS or 80, you will
find that he is light eater. Be a.
careful as you will, however, you will
occasionally eat more than you should
and will feel the need of Chamber
lain's Tablets to correct the disorder.
These tablets do not contain pepsin,
but strengthen the stomach and en-
able it to perform its functions nat
urally. They also cause gentle
movement Of the bowels. For sale by

portant interests contend that, while

ably safe bargains around present
prtces-that the market has been sold

est created.
Steel common, which closed yesterday
at 1917. advanced to 104 for the open

Coppers were higher. Mercantile Ma

Copper was points UP.
Action in the rails was attended with
some little irregularity. but changes
were not important and prices were
steady.
Union Pacific was comparatively
steady and unchanged: New Haven

net gain; Lehigh Valley. very strong
and point higher; Canadian Pacific, a

Rails Are Pounded.
In the second hour of the afternoon
the bears lined up in an attack on the
rails and pounded hard. bringing con-
cessions of from 1 TO points all
through the list.
They also hit the industrials here and
there, with but partial success. but suf-
ficient to encourage further attacks.
following the lessening of the buying
demand.
Steel common was off to 1929. and
other industrials were not far from the
low points of the morning.
Closing Is Very Weak.
All during the last hour the bears
pounded away here and there through
out the entire list, first on one stock
and then on the other. The resultant
weakness caused many who have pur-
chased in the last day or two to throw
their shares overheard. and the burden
was too much for the market.
Losses of one or two points and even
more were general throughout the in
dustrials and rails, and the closing was
flat at the bottom.
