On motion of Senator Gore. the Sem
ate took up this afternoon the con-
ference report on the emergency ag-
ricultural appropriation bill. with it's

situation in the Capital.

PUBLIC HEALT HSERVICE
BUILDING BILL PASSES

The House today passed the hill,
carrying an appropriation Of $250,00O
for a new building for the public
health service in connection with the
hygenic laboratory in Washington.
A committee amendment was ac-
cepted today giving the Secretary of
the Treasury a free hand either to
call for bids or to go into the open
market for material and labor to con-
struct this building.
The tremendous increase of the
work in the hygenic laboratory
brought about by the war for the
testing OF seruma and for exercising
control over the manufacture of SAL
varsan and other drugs manufac-
tured under license from the Federal
Trade Commission was urged as the
reason for building this increased
space-at this time.

MERGENTHALER SHARES
. SHOW GOOD STRENGTH
BY I. A. FLEMING.

Mergenthaler shares displayed de-
gree of strength on today's session of
the local exchange that was pleasant
to shareholders in the old reliable cor
poration. The first sale was at 113 Is.
then sales were made at 114h. The
final transaction was at 114Sa, with a
decidedly strong closing.
Railway preferred remains steady at
81. A sale of Westinghouse stock
was reported at 54%4.
Bonds were decidedly slow, only one
transaction being recorded. sale OF
Potomac general mortgage IS at 934.
The regular semi-annual dividend of
the National Metropolitan Bank. per
cent. is payable October IS, books be-
ing closed October 6 to Is, inclusive.
The favorable turn in the war news
has had decidedly stimulating effect
in Russian bond prices. The 61a per
cents sold up to Sc and the rs to
$50 yesterday. both the high re-
cords of the year, as compared with 80
and 33. respectively. but a short time
ago. Both are traded in freely on the
Broad street curb.
After the War.
The October circular of the National
ment on this all-important subject:
After the war is over there will
be a change of all conditions. When
the government orders are finished
and paid for. unless a similar volume
of equally urgent demands springs up
from new sources. the imitation of
credits will subside. Bank loans and
deposits will decline and the per-
centage of bank reserves will rise
This would mean a readjustment of
values towards the pre-war basis.
Evidently the course of this readjust-
ment will be governed by the indus
trial situation and prospects at that
time. If the transition from war
conditions to peace conditions is for
tnuately accomplished; if industry is
well sustained and free from disor-
ganiZing controversies, SO that both
the investing and consuming power of
the country is large, the establish
ment of a feeling of full confidence is
likely to be followed by one of the
greatest periods of construction and
expansion the country has ever
known. The future of wages, prices
and values in general will depend
upon harmonious. highly organized,
efficient, well balanced industry, Great
Ing new wealth al rate sufficient to

STOCKS WERE NERVOUS;
MANY STRONG SPOTS

NEW YORK, October 3.-The
strength of the specialties and the
feeling that present prices are prac-
tically safe, dominant in many cir
cles, despite the continued pressure
of the banking fraternity against
speculative operations, gave the
market very strong opening. To-
bacco shares displayed especial
strength, as did Mercantile Marine
preferred.
The readjustment of the Steel Corpo-
ration plants to the eight-hour day
and adjustments of costs, etc., is
causing some uneasiness on the part
of conservative operators and helps
in the general line of checks on trad
ing.
These conservative interests cannot
reconcile peace conditions with pres
ent price levels until after the
changed conditions have been met by
industry in its various phases.
Rail Financing Rumors.
Railroad rumors are to the effect
that railroad financing is rejecting
government economies and consolida-
tions as well as the benefits from in
creased rates and the common use of
costly terminals.
Immense savings have resulted
from this use of joint terminals, and
it is within the probabilities that
their use will be continued. Some
favorable gossip is in circulation
anent American Locomotive as a
purely equipment corporation, not
having participated in war orders or
made any changes in it's plant. Atten-
tion is called to the fact that it earn
ed 63 a share on the common stock
above dividend requirements.
The strong opening was turned to
weakness on the first evidence. of
profit-taking at the top prices, and
the reaction in the first hour great
ly reruced the advances or eliminat-
edS them entirely.
Steel common rose nearly point to
110A and dropped back to 109h and
in the later action, which was more
steady, advanced to 109%. Some
shares showed good strength in the
noon-hour trading, Studebaker max
ing a new high at SO and Texas Oil
touching 1875, while Mercantile Marine
preferred held within IS of it's full
advance, 2 points. United Cigar
Stores were u higher.
Bethlehem 3 declined to 70 Is. loss
of Is, recovering to 74k; Baldwin
Locomotive was up Is. but held only
fraction of the advance. Minor
steels shared in the easier tone.
Rails were extremely slow, B. & o.
and Canadian Pacific being up a
point, but the rest of the list barely
steady.

INFLUENZA ABATES
At SEVERAL CAMPS
Pneumonia Also Shows Slight
Decrease Serious Situa-
ton at Meade.

Latest figures received at the Office
show a slight abatement in the spread
of the epidemic of influenza in the
various military camps. with slight
falling off also in the humber Of cases
of pneumonia.
Influenza cases at all camps number
more than 100000, with about 5000
cases of pneumonia. The epidemic Of
Meade, Annapolis Junction, Nd. and
heroic measures have been taken to
check its progress. During the past
twenty-four hours there were 900 new
cases of influenza and forty Of pneu-
monia, and twenty-five deaths. The
total number of cases of influenza at
this camp is 6,217, with high death
rate from pneumonia complications.
The Maryland camp is in strict quar-
Nntine and all leaves are restricted.
Alarm at Camp Humphreys.
At the big engineer camp (Hum-
phreys) at Accotink, Va, the epidemic
the past twenty-four hours there
were 353 new cases of influenza and
SO of pneumonia, with deaths.
The epidemic seems to be under bet
ter control at the smaller camps IN
this city. During the past twenty
four hours there were fifteen new
cases of influenza reported at Camp
Meigs, on Florida avenue, and eight
new cases at Camp Leath, on Ne
braska avenue. There were no deaths
and no new cases of pneumonia at
either of these camps.
Many Cases at Annapolis.
Many cases of influenza are re-
ported at the Naval Academy at An
napolis, and at the big marine base at
Quantico, Va, but are reported to be
under good control. Secretary Daniels
said today that the epidemic prevails
to greater or less extent at all
naval stations and yards. but so far
had not interfered with naval con-
struction or other operations.
Camp Custer, Michigan, reported
1,4O4 new cases and Camps Pike, Ark
ansas, and Taylor, Kentucky, more
than 1000 each. Camps Lee, Virginia,
and Grant, Illinois, had more than 500
new cases.
Conditions at Camp Devens. Massa-
chusetts, continue to show improve
ment. only 92 new cases being re-
ported there. The crest of the cpl
demic also appears to have been
passed at Camp Dix. N. j.. which
showed only 314 new cases. There
were SO deaths at Dix and 20 at
Devens.

With very little advertising hun
dreds of thousands of bottles of Men
tho-Laxene are sold every year by

grow larger. Get 21a-ounce bottle,
concentrated, and mix with simple
syrup to make full pint. Directions
and guarantee of satisfaction are with
each bottle. A pint lasts long time
for the whole family. It is cheaper
and better than ready prepared medi-
cines, but easy to mix.-Adv.

MIAMI FOOTBALL
GAME CALLED OFF

OXFORD, o., Oct. 25.-There will
be no football game at Miami Uni
versity Saturday. Yesterday Witten-
berg College cancelled it's game for
that day upon an order issued by the
commandant of the S. A. T. c. unit.
Physical Director Brodbeck of Miami,
at once telegraphed to Butler College,
Indianapolis, Ind, trying to get game
with that school for Saturday, but the
date was not open.
This leaves Miami's schedule for the
remainder of the season as follows:
November 2, Kenyon College at Ok
ford; November 8, Ohio Wesleyan
University at Delaware; November is,
Denison University at Dayton; Novem-
Der 90, Butler College of Wittenberg
at Oxford; November 20, University
of Cincinnati at Cincinnati.
This is a complete change of sched-
ule, caused by the alumni associations
Of Miami and Denison at Dayton. They
have been unable thus far to secure a
field for the Denison Miami game, but
they probably will have one by No
vember 16. This game was to have
been played on November 2.
