FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS SLUGGISH.
Statements of Railroad Earnings Prov
 ed Disappointing.

New York, Jan. 1.-The sluggish course of today's stock market doubt less resulted mainly from adverse weather conditions, which materially reduced business sessions and south
 western centers.
 Happenings over the week end re- ceived favor able interpretation in the main, especially the war aims of Great Britain. as defined by Lloyd George. Advices regarding the Russian situa ton also offered fresh encouragement
 The order of the Interstate Com merce Commission requesting railroads to file statements of their financial re- quirements was in accord with pending fegislstlon hy congress, but railway
 shares were often reactionary, when
 not heavy.
 Additional statements of railroad earnings proved disappointing and re- ports from leading terminals disclosed less than normal movement of traffic for such important commodities as grains, livestock and lumber. Industrials moved within narrow
 limits until the final hour, when fair
 ly large buying of steels, coppers and shippings effected general rally. Unit ed States rose almost three points from it's low, closing a fraction under it's maximum at 94 7-S.
 Special stocks. notably those owing their activity to pools, were irregu- lar, but ended with rallies, including Pullman, which had registered an ex- tre1ne loss of over six points. Sales amounted to 520,000 shares. Sound. investment conditions were denoted by the speedy absorption of $40 y000, 900 American Telephone six per cent. notes. offer dat per cent. yield.
 The only feature of thesbond market was the further decline in Liberty As from 9S60 to the new minimum of

Baseball on Foreign Soil.

Many baseball men face the 1918
 baseball season with fear and tremb-
 ling, while others look into the future
 with considerable optimism. None
 can tell what the 1918 season will bring forth. However while a large num-
 Der of players will enter the service, either by enlistment or through the
 draft, baseball so far has lost only a fraction of its real stars. and will be weakened no more than in 1915 and 1916, when quite a body of big leag-
 uers cast their lot with the Federal league.
 No, one expects to see baseball have i a real big year, but if it is run on a
 common sense basis, the 1918 season should be as successful as the one the league went through last summer. It
 is doubtful if more than few for
 tunate clubs will make any real mon ey during the war, but if most of the clubs can maintain an even break they will be satisfied. Managers believe that baseball will receive great inn petux after the war. Even the professional baseball has suffered to some degree by the war the game itself is played by more peo-
 pie than at any time in its history. The American and Canadian troops
 have carried the game abroad, and the ] war has given it more of a standing in England than 20 years of peace time Introduction could have done. It has been picked up by the French and has been introduced in the British navy. Therefore, although another year of
 war may seriously affect the profes- sional game on this side, it will help l the game in the long. run. .....-.

Thousands of people suffer more or fess constantly from furred. coated tongue. bad breath, sour, burning stom- ach, frequent vomiting, ruunbltng in and stomach acidity and call 1t indd
 gestion when in reality their trouble is due to gastric catarrh of the stom- ach." writes a. New York physician
 Catarrh of the stomach is dangerous because the mucous membrane lining of the stomach is thickened and a. coat ing of phlegm covers the surface so that the digestive fluids cannot mix with the food and digest them. This condition. soon breeds deadly disease in the fermented, unassimilated food
 The blood is polluted and carries the infection throughout the body. Gastric ulcers are apt to form and frequently an ulcer is the first sign of deadly cancer
 In catarrh of the stomach a good and safe treatn1ent Is to take before meals a teaspoonful o6 pure Bisurated Magnesia in half glass of hot water as hot as you can Comfortably drink it. The hot water washes the mucous from the stomach walls and draws the blood to the stomach while the bisu- rated maguesia is an excellent solvent for mucous and increases the efficiency of the hot water treatment. Moreover. the Bisurated Magnesia will serve as a powerful but harmless antacid which will nentrahze any excess hydrochloric acid that may be in your stomach and sweeten its food contents. Easy, nat ural digestion without distress of any kind should soon follow. Bisurat ted Magnesia is not a laxative, is harm can be obtained from any local drug gist Don't confuse Bisurated Magne- sia with other forms of magnesia, milks, citrates. etc. but get it in the pure bisurated form (powder or tab lets). especially prepared for this pur-

PROVEN SWAMP

The symptoms of kidney and biad- der troubles are often very distressing and leave the; system in a rundown condition. The kidneys seem to sui fer most, as almost every victim com plains of lame back and urinary troubles which should not be neglect ed, as these danger, signals often lead to more dangerous kidney troubles.
 Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root which, 30 many people say, soon heals and strengthens the= kidneys, is a splendid kidney, liver and bladder medicine, and, being an herbal compound, has a gentle healing effect on the kidneys. which is almost immediately noticed in most cases by those who use 1t.

the predictions that Fulton would be joke for Willard are based on the assumption that the latter would take the aggressive and crowd the lean -waisted Fulton until the latter cried enough. In reality the chances are that Willard would do nothing of the kind. His whole record shows that nothing can induce him to force the pace and make the best use of his enormous strengthsand weight.
 Willard's bout with Frank Moran would have been no fight at all if Moran had not forced the pace
 man did all the rushing and was directly responsible for all the &C., ton that took place. Willard was on the defensive throughout and the blows he delivered were for defen- sive purposes for the most part.
 When his counters on the slow moving Pittsburger had staggered the latter the situation called for a rush on the champions part, but nothing could induce him to make an aggressive move and Moran stayed the full ten rounds when he should not have lasted half the dis tance. .
 Willard won that bout so easily that he was not criticized severely for his lack of ring generalship. but that was not the case in other bouts. wherever Ec appeared because of In his novice days, when he was doing his best to obtain recognition. Willard was roasted and ridiculed his lack of fighting spirit.
 It made him sour and morose in the extreme It-was pointed out to Willard time and again that if he seriously, he would have to do a expected the public to take him little more fighting while in the ring instead of allowing his smaller opponents to do all the work. But nothing could induce him to put a little spirit into his work.
 When the roasting he received here in the East became too hot far him to bear, Willard went out to California. There he fought Gun boat Smith, whom he outweighed by more than 50 pounds. Willard made a joke of himself in that fight by allowing little Smith to carry the fight to him all the way, and the referee. in disgust, gave the decision to Smith. Willard should have dis posed of Smith in jig time, but he could not be induced to take chance
 It was the same way when he tackled Charley Miller, a burlesque fighter of no ability, but plenty of gameness It was four-round bout and Miller rushed and swung so in dustriously that Willard did little but cover up, so the referee called the affair draw. He then allowed Little Tom McMahon to outpoint i him.
 These instances were typical ex- | amples. of Willard's ring work He never. has shown anything to indi- cate that he would be dangerous for a clever boxer who is faster than he is and with a reach that is just as long. If Willard were rushe1 he would look like sure winner over Fulton. But Willard's record indicates that he is willing to lose 8 l bout rather than fight aggressiveiy.

Ine only reason for thinking that fred Fulton of Minnesota would be easy Tor JeaB Willard is that the for mer mfght lack the courage and de sefznlnatlCn to put up his best per- lormance when he found himself all alone in the ring with the huge champion. After the way that Full ton acted when Carl Morris began to rough it up a bit 1t seems houelesa 70 expect him to stand off Willard who is even stronger than Morris and a better 41itter.
 But there. is no reason to th;n. that Willard would follow the same tactics that Morris used to make Fulton qnit Morris made a wresf. /. ling match Of the. bout. forIins again and again. and holding on so perststently that Fulton never had a chance to bring his superior hit ting ability into play. .
 If Willard: were a Aeb+ar. o, +ha MOTHS type, Fulton's chances would not look very bright. But Willard employs an entirely different style, |as he never has. been known to rush his opponent His natural style is to lean back and wait .fnr the fight to be carieds to, him. That would suit Fulton to perfection. as he could fhen match that long, cruel left of his against WiIlarti's left, and Fuftons < is by far the faster and more punishing blow.
 In order to beat Fulton decisiveiy Willard would have to change his na4wh style of fighting and it is seldom that fighter does that. An
