NEW YORK, Feb. l0.-Business on the stock exchange today dwindled to the insignificant total of lS2,000 shares, of which United States steel and a few other favorites contributed almost forty per cent Next Monday B holiday and the complicated mterna- tional situation acted largely for the extreme apathy.
 The tone was irregular throughout, steel and few war specialties as some of the high grade rails. evincing a fair degree of strength.
 Peoples Gas of Chicago supple mented its recent break with a fur ther loss Of almost six points. Air Brake dropped six points, Bethlehem steel four: Saxon motors l3, Barrett and company 4$i and American Agri- cultural Chemical preferred three.

 Chicago Grains
 CHICAGO, February 10.-Wheat prices ran up swiftly today. infiuenc- ed to a large extent by reports that the British government had command eered numerous South American line steamships, and would undertake to convoy from United States ports to Europe as many cargoes of food stuffs as might be required. After an extreme advance of 53i cents a bushel the market closed strong at gains of 2A to 5as net with May at 1.74 to 1747s and July 149@i to 1.5O.
 Other commodities, too. finished higher-corn up 7s to 14 to 12s @1% and provisions 1212 @25 cents.
 Right from the outset, the market was on the upgrade, and there was active buying on the part of houses with seaboard connections. Predic- tions were circulated that decided improvement of railway conditions soon would be forthcoming. Besides gossip was current of a big merchant fleet that the entente allies had as sembled off the Virginia Capes.
 Crop damage complaints from the southwest tended throughout the day to handicap the wheat bears.
 Lighuness of offering had bullish influence on corn. T. was said coun- try owners displayed signs of grow ing belief that export demand shortly would be much enlarged. Seaboard clearances for the day were immense about 1.25O,000 bushels.
 Strength of oats was due to con siderable degree to reports that the southern winter oats crop had been badly damaged by cold weather.
 Provisions climbed with hogs and grain. The chances of better ship ping facilities, gave renewed confi- dence to buyers.

Advice for the Housewife.

There lies before us bulletin No. 8
sent out from the office Of the Satte
Council Of Defense. 1t contains whole
some advice, the same many Of you
have known for a lifetime, but have
practiced only sparingly, If at all. 1t
pleads for the ''clean plate" and urges
the conservation Of foods. These are
commonplace aims, but none the less
important. The bulletin is short and
teaches good lesson in thrift. 50 we
are going to ask you to read it. 1t
follows below:
The garbage can is the barometer
of patriotism in wartime.
= 1t shows the waste In the house
hold.
One way to win the war is to pro-
duce more food.
-Just as important is the preyen-
tion Of food waste.
8 Follow the gospel Of the clean
plate The world needs food. Don't
ase more than you need. It's loyalty
in wartime to talk, study and practice
thrift.
Watch the corners in preparing
food for the table. Careless cooking
means waste.
Cook all potatoes with their jack
cts on. Peeling robs the potato of val
liable food mineral salts. Water In
which vegetables are cooked is rich in
mineral salts. Use it in soups and in
other foods.
Don't throw away fats. They are
needed for food, munitions aud soap.
Use fat trimmings and drippings from
meat in cooking, or In the manufacture
Of soap. Join Americas army Of food

Renewed Testimony

No one in Stafford Springs who suffers baokache, headache or distress ing uriuary ills can afford to ignore this Stafford Springs woman's twice told story. It is confirmed testimony that no Stafford Springs resident can doubt.
 Mrs. John Irons, 34 Furnace Ave. Stafford Springs, says: Kidney trouble came on me first with heavy pains through my back that bothered me constantly. Then my kidneys got to acting badly and I became weak all over. I could hardly get about to do my housework. I was advised to try Doan's Kidney Pills and got some from the Eaton Drug Store. I used them with the very best of results. The pains quickly disappeared and my kidneys became regular in action '' Statement given July 31, 1911).
 On May 5, 1916, Mrs. Irons said !: " I am very glad to again recommend Doan's Kidney Pills as did in 1911. They cured me of the trouble and there has been no return whatever of it. 'S
 Price 500, at all dealers. Don t simply ask for a kidney remedy - get Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that Mrs. Irons has twice publicly recom mended. Foster-Milburn Go Props. i, Buffalo, N. Y.

Tho Proposed Income Tax
The additional income tax a. passed
by tho llor;c runs up to n rate Of 60
per ,,;.I This Is n sum unheanl Of m
the history of civilized society. Itmust
be remembered that 1t was only sffar
the first year OF the war that Gruaf
Britain increased her income tax to tho
maNiMir &c 81 per cent. and that
even now In the fourth year OF the war
the income tax does not exceed 42A
per cent
1t could easily be shown that q tax
with rates on moderate incomes sub
stantially less than In Great Rritah.
and on the larger incomes about as
high, would yield only slightly less than
the $532.QOOO0O originally estimated In
the House bill
1T Is to be hoped that tho Senate will
reduce the total rate on tho Mgf,ok6 h
