DaIIy Stock Letter.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service
NEW YORK, April 26.-The New
York Evening Sun financial review to-
day will say:
Today's abbreviated session Of the
stock market was quiet affair. The
tone was firm. Prices Of the standard
industrial and railroad shares were
fractionally higher while some OF the
specialties achieved broad gains Of 1
to 2 points or more. News develop
ments concerning the war continued
to be Of a character to cause hesita-
ton. Most accounts had been largely
adjusted earlier in the week in an
ticipation of the half closing today,
making a virtual recess from Thurs
day to Monday.
Growing confidence in better
showing for the Liberty loan was
mildly constructive influence.
Perhaps the factor which con-
tributed most toward advancing the
industrial list today was the buying OF
United States Steel. There was little
business in the other steel shares. A
spectacular feature was an advance
of more than three points in Superior
Steel. Other strong spots were DIS
tilIers Securities, International Paper,
American Sumatra Tobacco and Corn
Products Refining. Rails were thin in
the extreme and steady.

Nothing wrong but my nerves."
We hear 1t at home, at work and

tenn. The better doctors of today
know Just what to do in cases Of this
kind. They know that a few weeks
use of Phosphated Iron rarely fails to
strengthen, stimulate and feed the
Overwhelmingly nerve centers.
Phosphated Iron certainly does take
hold. The way the majority of pa
tients come back is remarkable. You
can almost see their nerves grow
steady, strong and peaceful.
What a change in appearance, too.
The cheeks become filed out and
flushed with the healthy ruddy glow
that only pure, red, ironized blood can
give, eyes sparkle, their step has the
spring and swing OF youth and their
whole system seems to be alive with
energy and good spirits.
Mr.. Nervous Man or Woman, Phos-
phated Iron will do all this for you II
YOU will give it a chance. Do not
drag around, all in and half dead an
other day when help is SO near. Get
busy, and be live one once again.
To insure doctors and their patients
getting the genuine Phosphated Iron
we have put in capsules only, so do
not allow dealers to give you pills or
tablets. Insist on capsules. McGrath
