AN CVERBURDENED
MOTHER

If the steps mother takes and the
work she does could only be measured
by figures, what an array they would
make. Through glrlhood, wifehood
and motherhood woman tolls on, often
suffering from backache, pain in side,
headache, nervousness and sleepless-
ness, symptoms of more serious all
ments peculiar to her sex. Thousands
of such women, however, have found
relief from suffering by taking Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound,
as is evidenced by the letters OF
recommendation continually being
published in this paper.

The way in which the strike threat which hangs
the steel trade affects business is shown by the report
of untitled orders which the Steel Corporation made yes
terday. There is falling off of 100000 tons from the
figures of the previous report and the explanation is that
mills are not hunting business because of the uncertain
conditions. In time this slowing up will react upon
every business that touches steel making and will be
reflected in the banking situation Of the country.

Short Production.
Due to car shortage the production
last week was far short Of normal, &C
cording to NJ. H. Tomb, secretary OF
the Kanawha Coal Shippers Associa-
ton. The car supply averaged some
thing shy Of seventy-five per cent.
Screened to Slack.
Shipments from Buffalo to the
Northwest increased greatly recently
des5ite the steel strike. Shipments
for the week ending October 6 were
as follows: Superior, 67,S2S tons:
Chicago, 1920 tons Duluth, 10000
tons; Milwaukee, 1880 tons.
Strike talk has caused an active
coal market in Detroit recently.
Denial is made by R. R. Yeagley,
secretary OF the Indiana Retail Coal
Merchants Association, OF the charge
made by the U. S. department Of
Justice that coal merchants have per-
mitted operators to escape from con-
tracts.
There was only fair domestic
trade in New York City last week,
but strike conditions have improved
matters.
Production is cut down fifty per

7Poetle treatment strengthens stOFl

Poetic Treatment Strengthens Story.
The poetic treatment given the story
81 eThe Man Beneath" at the Prin-
cess Is largely responsible for the sue
&c stul conversion to the screen OF the
Edmund Mitchell novel from which 1t
was adapted. The first reel is a clean
cut presentation Of characters and
character relation. and the main Sit
uation OF the story.
When the second reel opens, the
Spectator, scarcely aware that the first
reel has spun its length, is thorough
well acquainted with the plays peo-
pie and with threatening shadows or
anticipated sunshine in the lives oil
each. The remainder Of the produc-
ton thrillingly adventurous, and at
lie same time dramatically romantic,
swings TO its close at gait that &C

Helen jerome Eddy's work in "The

B.
No musical comedy has come out of
New York in recent years that has
made more pronounced hit than
Listen Lester" which is coming to
the Grand on Thursday night, and is
classed ais the smartest dancing mu-
steal comedy of the season. Its plot,
which is well broken by the songs and
dances introduced every whipstitch
has to do with the tribulations of a
flirtatious Colonel who has a merry
time eluding one pursuing damsel only
to find that he has fallen into the
clutches of more sophisticated wild
bw. Much of the story takes place at
a Southern winter resort, and is alive
with the gaieties of the season in
which a crowd of beautiful girls sue
coed in making time pass quickly. A
portly hotel clerk, weak but will
ing porter all enter into a story that
is full of good humor. The same spirit
that marked the get-up of "Flo-Flo" is
seen even more prominently in this
second production Of John Cort.
