Flo KELLY, 476 So. 14th ST., Newark,
The reason this famous root and herb
remedy, Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable

Keliy's case was because it went to the
root OF her trouble, restored her to .
normal healthy condition and as a result
her nervousness disappeared.

EVERYBODY PLAYING
GAME ON WALL Street
Extra Holidays Called To Give
Clerks Chance To Catch
Up Work.

New York. Aug. l4.-(United Press
High prices Of foods and products of
factories are reflected nowhere better
than in the New York stock market,
where transactions have been SO heavy
In recent weeks that extra holidays, in
addition to the Saturday half day have
been necessary to allow clerks to keep
up with the business.
Starting last March trading has been
so actiye that rarely day has passed
when shares sold did not reach the mil
lion mark, and on occasions the number
has gone above 100000. And rarely
has the market been "over-sold," q
condition reached when shorts sell SC
heavily that it is difficult for them to
cover by purchases.
Naturally, with such demand for is
sues Of sll character, it follows as :
matter Of course that prices must mount
And mount, they have.
The day before the world was plunged

now are selling at far more than slvt

fraction Of that figure. Common stock
of the international Mercantile Marine
for instance, could be picked up in Wall
Street before the start Of hostilities al
a few dollars share. 1t has gene
above so since that day.
One great factor in the continued and
steady advance Of all classes since tsa,
time has been the phenomenal riches

duced war munitions. Millionaires were
made overnight. The public heard Of
these things and wanted to get in. They

And then along came the oil stocks
with the development Of the great Ran

Persons who never dreamed they

effect was dramatic. The street has

OF course, the rich ones are greatly
