What Do You Know
About Your Blood?
Is 1t Normal? Is 1t Rich? Is ItFree Of Waste Products?
Is Il Pure?
How the Test May Be Made.

In justice to yourself and your loved
bnes you should know the truth about
your blood-for who knows at what
time he or she viii be called upon to
stand this test.
Ask yourself these simple questions:
Do I feel tired when I get up in the
morning? Am I all tagged out at
night? Is my face pale and drawn?
Do | suffer with pains in my muscles
and joints? Am I subject to any skin
disease? Have I any pimples or sboils
Nature is warning you if your
answer to any of these questions is
eyes" Nature now needs help. She
has done her best but is failing.
Listen to natures warning. Your
blood is your fountain source of ener-
gy therefore keep your blood rich
and pure.
Our greatest health asset is to have
blood which is pure and clean--blood
which is free of waste products,

A BULLIsH FACTOR.

The reduction In the ,re-discount
rate In the Chicago district was an
other bullish factor. Against these
favorable developments was the an
nouncement of a price cut of ap-
proximately 23h per cent by the
Chevolet Motor Company. Added to
this unfavorable development was the
natural inclination OF many traders
to take profits over the week end fol-
lowing the sharp advance made in
the list during the past few days.
The motor shares were, of course.
the weakest issues on the list. Stude-
baker yielding 2 points, while Pierce
Arrow and Chandler dropped over I
point apiece. The tire shares were
little affected by the break in the
motors and held up very well.
Mexican Petroleum was under pres
sure, yielding about 2 points, and
most Of the other oil shares a~er
early strength showed q reactionary
tendency. The steel issues showed
little change. Tobacco and sugar
stocks were strong. In the final
trading the rails turned strong and
finished moderately higher.

More Stock Issues Record Gains

~ MAX KASE.
n. q. financial Editor.

NEW YORK, May 7.--Conflicting
overnight developments were reflect
ed in a continuation of mixed price
movements during the short session
OF the stock market today. However.
at the end of the days trading more
issues had recorded gains than losses.
The official announcement that the
United States had decided to resume
its place In the councils Of the allied
statesmen created a good feeling
among traders and was reflected in
another sharp advance in the foreign
exchanges.

EASIER MONEY PROSPECTS.

That money will be easier during
the summer may be accepted as a
foregone conclusion. All the reserve
banks but two have already reduced
their rediscount rates below I per
cent.
Gold is pouring in and credit con-
ditions are better.
However, the main basis for the
hopes OF lower money rates is that the
powers -that-be at last seem to ap-
prove such action and to look more
favorably on the use Of funds for
stock market purposes.
There appears to be plenty OF
money behind the present advance,
which has already attracted a small
investment following. This following
is necessarily light, as the public are
not at present flush"

RAILROAD WAGES.

A new reason for the expectations
of a reduction in railroad wages Is
the docility with which the employees
of the United States Steel Corpora
ton appear to have accepted their cut
II is now felt that the railroad work
ers will probably adopt a similar atti-
tude.
Whether they will or not no one
can say until the Labor Board hands
down a decision. At any rate, they
are putting up a stern fight at this
stage. In view of the published
statements of several railroad ex-
ecutives the hope that lower freight
rates will follow cut in wages
is rather far fetched. '
Their whole attitude Is against
any such general action for some
time, as they state the roads could
not operate efficiently under lower
rate.
