STRIKE HAS no EFFECT
| ''0h TRACTION SECTION

New York. August 1S.-The local
traction strike which kept many
traders from Wall Street and the bad
weather, which put those who did
come IN bad humor, combined with
l1ne bad labor situation generally,
ard the campaign against profiteers,
made the stock market weak today.
sterling exchange broke to the new
low record Of 4.24, which suggests

vas another reason for weakness in
the parket Several important oper-
ators are apparently out of the
riarket and IT is being left to the 1T
tie traders who, for the moment are
the mercy OF the raiders.
Opening with slight decline, the
market continued heavy throughout
the session. Losses of from one point
IT, as high as ilfteen points were
recorded in active issues. The aver
age for the whole list was about two
points. Low prices were made in the
last hour. AT the close there was
only a slight covering movement.
This improved conditions only frac-
tionally in most cases.
Severe as the losses were in some
stocks the declines were no greater
than advances have been in several
single sessions recently. Bad news
Always seems worse than good news
seems good. For this reason the
market was worse sentimentally than
1T was statisticaiiy.
Local traction stocks are so low
that the strike had no material In
fiuence on them.
L. S. Steel was the weakest stock
on the list although its extreme de-
cline was but slightly over three
points. It's weakness was due in
directly to the unsettlement of the
railroad workers. for the steel in
dustry will suffer first II there is any
interruption of traffic.
Besides, the steel people have
great hopes of big export business.
The constant weakening of foreign
exchange not only of the former al
hes, but of neutral countries. makes
steel men fear that this foreign bust
ness may not be transacted this year.
Central Leather, Baldwin and Cru
chile, the three musketeers of the
stock market, were about equally
weak. These stocks have been the

A READER Q-Kindly let me know
why people talk to themselves and what
is the cure fog it.
A lack of education. wide reading
and study often weakens the will and
control of the muscles of speech. The
cure is to take up night study and work
at the Y. NJ. c. A. or other gymnasium.
MRS. r. S. Q-Kindly advise me what
to do for severe throbbing in my tenn
pies.
A-You do not appear to need medi-
cines nor doctor but work. Put your
interest and attention upon pleasant and
useful things and forget your own
troubles.
G. r. NJ. Q-Kindly advise me what to
do for bronchitis
2-Kindly advise me how to gain
weight.
A-Tuberculosis is often associated
with bronchitis. and, therefore. an ex-
animation must be made to determine
the seriousness of your bronchitis. The
none-serious bronchitis usually disap-
pears in about three weeks. Emulsion
of cod liver oil is very good. and two or
three drops of creosote in an empty
capsule after meals is also very good.
Vapors of steam, camphor and nitre also
help.
2-Your weight may be increased by
10 to IL hours sleep in the "a in a we'll
ventilated room, by eating sugars,
starches. butter. buildings, fatty meats
rich soups and gravies. You must drink
copiously of water and milk. Take but
