Daily Stock Letter.


UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.
NEW YORK, April 1S.-The New
York Evening Sun financial review to-
day says:
Today's stock market was peculiar
ly symptomatic of conditions prevail
ing in financial and securities cir
cles. There was firm undertone in
the main, but the trading was light.
There were no indications of outside
participation.
At the moment the traders are in
clined to be bullish. This tended to
set in motion a short covering move
ment with occasional good buying OF
the steel and railroad shares. Short
covering operations were insufficient
to keep the general list from waverin1
not a little at, times. United States
Steel sold as high as 112, up n, but
later sold below ITO, and in the after
noon was fractionally above III. The
other steel shares and most of the in
dustrials behaved in much the same
way.
The shipping shares lost most of
their early gains, the motor issues
were distinctly weak throughout.
The railway list was inclined to
move upward whenever it moved at
all. Union Pacific and Reading
gained over point.

Why Rheumatism Comes
With Cold Weather

(By Valentine Mott Pierce, M. ID. J
A close connection exists between
these two-cold weather and rheuma-
tism. Prof. Alex. Haig, of London,
has the most followers in the medi-
cal profession in the belief that the
presence in the system of uric acid,
or its salts in excess, is the real
cause of rheumatism. Every one has
recognized the difference in the ap-
pearance of their water as soon as it
gets cold; there is often copious
sediment of "brickdust"
Several causes may lead up to an
accumulation Of uric acid in the sys-
tenn, which. in turn, cause rheuma-
len finger, or painful joints. For one
reason the skin does not throw off
the uric acid, by profuse sweating,
as in the hot weather, and the kidneys
are unable to take care Of the double
burden. Another reason is that peo-
pie do not drink as much water lii
cold weather as in summer, which
helps to flush the kidneys. Again,
they eat more meat in cold weather,
and some people are SO susceptible
that they soon develop rheumatism
after eating meat.
At all such times persons should
drink copiously of hot water, say, a
pint morning and night, and take
Anuric double strength three or four
times a day. This Anuric comes in
tablet form and can be had at almost
any drug store. 1t dissolves the uric
acid in the system and carries it out
ward. l would advise everyone to
take Anuric occasionally, and con-
tinue for three or four weeks. and in
that way avoid rheumatism, govt and
many of the painful disorders due to
uric acid in the system.
Make yourself healthy and strong
by open-air exercise and diet. Then
cleanse the liver by occasionally
its action with a pleasant
composed of the May-apple,
dried juice of aloe, and root of jalap,
sugar coated and long sold by all
druggists as DR.. Pierce's Pleasant

SCANDINAVIAN NOTES ARRIVE
SYMPATHY PLEDGED BY THREE
COMMUNICATIONS.
Norway, Sweden and Denmark Make
No Direct Offer of Cooperation
Holland Not to Act.

Washington, Dec. 81. The three
Scandinavian nations, Norway, Swe
den and Denmark, through identical
notes, the Norwegian copy of which
was handed the State department by
Minister Bryn, have expressed their
lively interest in President wilson
proposals looking towards the ''estab.
lishment of durable peace" and
pledged their deepest sympathy" with
all efforts to shorten the war.
The text of the note follows:
1t Is with the most lively interest
that the Norwegian government has
learned of the proposals which the
President of the United States has
just made with the purpose of facili.
tating measures looking toward the
establishment of durable peace
while at the same time seeking to
avoid any interference which could
cause pain to legitimate feelings.
THE Norwegian government would
consider itself failing in it's duties
towards its own people and towards
all humanity If 1t did not express it's
deepest sympathy with all efforts
which could contribute to put an end
to the ever increasing suffering and
the moral and material losses. 1t has
every hope that the initiative efforts
of President Wilson will arrive at a
result worthy of the high purpose
which inspired it."

Known to Be Antagonistic to Presi-

Looms up-Appropriation Meas
ure to Be First Action.

Washington, Jan. 3.--Congressmen
are back in Washington from their
Christmas holiday, prepared to get
down to hard work on the accumula-
ton Of legislation that must be dealt
with before adjournment, March 4.
Appropriation measures will be con-
sidered In the Senate Immediately, the
Indian bill probably being first. Com
mittees are paving the way for con-
sideration of railroad measures, cor
rupt practices bill and other general
legislation.
The House, which already has pass
ed five appropriation bills, still has
nine more to work and will approach
its task vigorously with night sessions
in prospect for the near future.
Extra Session Not Favored.
Returning members who were re-
elected do not look with favor toward
an extra session and declare they are
willing to work night and day to avert
one. They insist that none will be nee
essary unless action on the railroad
legislation should be held up.
Upon the reconvening of Congress
chief interest will center in hearings
before the Senate Commerce commit
tee on President Wilson's recommeu.
dations for legislation to supplement
the Adamson law, which was enacted
to become effective January /, and the
constitutionality of which will be ar
gued in the supreme court next week.
Representati, es of the railroad
mems brotherhoods, the railroads of
the country and the public have been
invited before the committee to ex-
press their views.
The attitude of the brotherhood Of
ficials Is known to be antagonistic to
the Presidents recommendation that
Congress enact law that would make
railroad strikes unlawful pending a ne.
Rod OF investigation by an official
board of inquiry, should mediation by
a board of Cancellation fail to settle
threatened trouble.
Railroad employees say that such a
law, modelled after the Canadian dis
putes act. would mean compulsory ar
bitration and involuntary servitude
and that it would operate as a legal
ban on the right to strike.
