OH! MY BACK,
The Expression Of Many a Kidney
Sufferer.

a stubborn backache is cause to sus-
pect kidney trouble. When the kid
neys are inflamed and swollen, stoop-
ing brings a sharp twinge in the small
of the back that almost takes tie breath
away. Doan's Kidney Pills revive
sluggish kidneys-relieve aching backs.
Here's convincing proof of merit.
Mrs. Robt. Syme, 112 Cedar St, Rock
Springs, Wyo.. says: Il suffered for
quite a long time with kidney trouble.
My back was the worst source of
trouble and was dreadfully sore and
ached constantly. | had often heard
of Doan's Kidney Pills, so 1 got g box.
They helped me so much from the first
that 1 continued using them until
cured"
Price Coo, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy-get

Coaches to Go in the Trossachs.

Coaches to Go in the Trossachs.
An epoch of more than local interest
was closed recently. when the four-in-
hand and other coaches formerly in
use on the famous Trossachs route
were brought under the auctionerr's
hammer.
For more han 60 years the four-in-
hand coach with its team of powerful
horses and its pOst-boy in scarlet coat
and white hat has been a familiar and
picturesque feature of the season on
the road between Callander and the
TrossachS.
The picturesque four-in-hand coach
is being displaced by the utilitarian
motorcar. and Il fleet of them is be
ing put upon the road by the new
company which has taken over the
Trossachs hotel from the Blair fam
lily. in whose hands the famous hos
telry has been for more than half a
century.-Edinburgh Scotsman.

China's Coal.

The hest Chinese coal is quite
as good as the best coal OF the United
States; and the various fields of mer'
charitable coal are probably as great
in extent as all the rest of the n
coal fields in the world, so far as they
are known. Anthracite of excellent
quality is mined in four provinces
The largest field now worked Is In
Shansi, and the famous mines of Ping
Ting produce an abundance of It. In
this district coal and iron are almost
within a stones throw of each other

to be exc ted from outside sources
because of extensive wire trouble.

of news affecting the staple from

in the pit was light and the mar

Prices started Il points higher to

from Liverpool and spot houses
was supplied by room traders.
There was some buying by the
South, probably on overnight or

Final prices showed a net gain of

STORM CHECKS
STOCK MARKET
Exchange Forced to Sus-
pend Temporarily by In
clement Weather.
CLOSE IS STRONG
Specialties Display Sharp
Upward Tendency on
Short Covering.

New York. March s.-Stocks were
steady today and a few of them
showed great strength. General
Motors, keystone Tire and Kelly
Springfield. National Biscuit. and
Loose wiles were most prominent
.in the. trading. Steel moved up a
fraction.
Owing to the storm. the stock ex-
change did not open until 1880, and
no business came from the West. as
wires were down. Therefore, trad
ing was narrow and entirely profess
isional. The West has become q
seller Of stocks, and as a result, the
test of the market will come Mon
day afternoon or Tuesday. As the
New York Federal Reserve Bank
was compelled to draw funds from
the West to keep its reserves above
legal requirements, Western bank
statements will show reductions
and add to the pessimism already
developing there. Besides, many OF
the commodity spectators are in
the West, and they are beginning to
feel the pinch of the banking situ-
alton. They will be compelled to
throw overheard their stocks or
their boarded commodities.
While all the tire stocks were
strong for legitimate reasons, Key
stone distinguished itself particu-
larly. The short interest in this Is
sue Is concentrated and; very large.
One individual is responsible for
most of 1t, and the Keystone pool Is
interested in finding how much
money he has left 1t Is understood
that no private settlement will be
tolerated.
Although the market has been
relatively quiet the past week and
disappointing to some optimists,
there has been material improve
ment in nearly every issue on the
exchange. Hardly a stock has ad-
vanced less than a point, and half
of them are up two points or more.
The speculative leaders show gains
OF s to 10 points.
London authorities discredit the
report that gold is to be shipped to
New York. but the fact that ship
ments are planned Is confirmed by
the proper authority.
Some persons are saying that the
gold will do no good because IL Is
going out so rapidly. The gold that
has been going out of New York
this year has been for British ac-
count, and the British will very
naturally stop these exports now
that they are planning to build up a
gold credit in New York for settle
ment of the Anglo-French bonds.
The reason s250,o00.0o0 is given
as the total of gold to be imported
Is because securities have been sold
or are to be sold in sufficient guam
tity to make up half of the loan
that must be paid off.

Tire Stocks Become
Popular Favorites

New favorites came to the front
in the stock market yesterday. One
of the strongest groups-and gains
here were well held-was that COM
prising the rubber and tire stocks.
limited States Rubber. Kelly-Spring-
field Tire, b. f. Goodrich and Key
stone were led forth into the spec
ulative arena with considerable
flourish on the published report
that tomorrow tire prices Will De
advanced by the leading manufac-
turers anywhere from 10 per cent
ON fabric tires to as high as 20 per
cent on cord tires.
This was not exactly new, for the
Street has heard since the begin
ming of the year that a rise In
prices was imminent. The tlre
manufacturers have argued that
tbey were entitled to an increase
in the price of their product, be-
cause of larger labor costs ana
higher prices for some of the ma
t.riaIs entering into the manufac-
ture of tires, principally cotton.

Motor Shares Prove
Improbable to the Bears

Motor shares. like the tire stocks,
were a strong group in yesterdays
market. Further short covering ap-
peared in this part Of the list.
Chandler Motors came through
with the increase in the dividend
from an annual basis of IS to $40 as
predicted and the stock was strong.
The president of the company, after
the meeting of the directors, said
that shipments for the first two
months of this year exceeded those
for the first five months of 1919.
Net earnings, he stated, were In
excess of $1,500.000 for the two
months. "Our financial statement as
of February 2S," he said, showed
cash as In excess of s6.0oe.00 Our
shipping schedule calls for $4,000

Warrington Pump.

example of this tendency was sup

The Gold Story.

In stock market circles there was
seme skepticism yesterday about
the story that Great Britain and
France are preparing to ship $780,
100000 in gold to the United States.
Those who were inclined to believe
II were not SO sure. however, that
1t would be bullish on the general
situation.
It was pointed out that for those
countries to send. such a huge
amount of gold here would be to
weaken their own position and add
to our troubles here from high
prices. Lacking confirmation, the
further sharp rise In sterling ex-
change was accepted as indicative
of some important international fl
nancial operation under way.

Operating on Old
High Cost of Living

Speculation is certainly making
strenuous efforts to fight Off the
anaesthetic dose the Federal Re-
serve Board is supposed to be ad-
ministering. This is as true of the
commodity markets as 1t is of Sc
curities. 1t is hard to persuade the
average business man, who sees big
business and bigger profits awaiting
the harvest, that he should refrain
from grabbing in.
A fur merchant walked into a
large commercial bank yesterday.
81 want a loan of $4,000" he told
the president OF the institution. "I
can take that $4,000 and swing
$1,000.000 worth of business this
year." He was refused the loan on
the ground that the bank in extend
ing credit would be giving aid and
comfort to the enemy of low living
costs.
