Bradstreet's s Review

New York, August 16.-Bradstreets to- morrow will say: War orders dominate every line and supplies for ordinary pur- poses are greatly curtaled. Conserva- tion in regular channels, whether flowing from damage to the corn crop in the southwest, from lessened demand for mems goods from belief that prices have reached zenith point or from restric- ticns placed upon so-called nonessentials, is thereby almost overshadowed. Indeed, the great majority of wholesale trade reports testify to continued good de- mand ruling, largely, however, on gov ernment account, exceptions to this be- Ing made in cases of districts southwest, where both 'cotton and corn have been hurt by drouth. Retail trade is fair to good for midsummer period and the same is true of collections, except from the southwest. It needs to be re- called, of course, that in the northern half of the country crops have been quite uniformly good and the hot wave has really accelerated the ripening Of most crops, thus putting possible frost damage practically out of the reckon ing.

Pershings responsibility for wnat

part of his concern. Men who are In
touch with his administration tell me
he is deeply concerned that the obli-

as men, one to the other and all folks
back home, be carefully discharged.
Every friendly, helpful activity in
France under the Red Cross. the Y.
M. C. A., the Knights of Columbus,

Pershing a staunch supporter. Every
thing possible is being done to see
that these superb young Americans,
who will return some day, shall go
back clean.
Pershing Is strong for athletics and
entertainments, but Is unyieldingly
insistent that everything be clean.
His associates tell me 1t is not mere

principle.

THE TRANSFORMATION.

l had a son, sickly chap, with appe-
tite so small
Unless he got his choice Of food he
would not eat at all;
He hated fats, detested fish, turned
up his nose at pork,
And dallied DER each dainty dish with
idle knife and fork
He could not relish stews or soups
and gravies made him sick;
All cereals he would abjure, were
they served thin or thick.
He did not care for cake or pie, he
did not care for fruit,
And buildings made his stomach ache
with agony acute.
He was drafted for the army--very
much against his will.
For he knew the style of living would
be sure to make him i'll;
But they sent him to the country,
and he wintered in a camp
Where the diet was the toughest, and
the bed chambers were damp.
He was drilled from dawn to sunset,
he was put to toughest work,
He was daily digging trenches, and
the job he couldn't shlrk;
He was loaded with equipment, he
was marched until he ached,
He was weary when he went to sleep,
and weary when he walked.
But a few short months Of drilling,
and the boy became a man,
Strengthened out and full Of vigor, on
the regulation plan;
He was taller, he was stronger, he
was full Of vim and fight,
And the biggest change of all was in
the youngsters appetite!
Breakfast, luncheon, dinner, supper
he could eat six meals a day.
And with gusto he could tackle any
grub that came his way:
Fat or lean, or bone and gristle, stony
bareback, flinty cake,
He devoured, and with relish that
would make dyspeptics quake,
Fathers, mothers!
II you've any sickly sons
You would like to see changed quickly
strong and healthy ones;
Il their appetites are squeamish and
their meals are now sham
Let them go and join the armies OF
our dear old Uncle Sam!
John 8. Grey In Munsey's.
