HOLIDAY Spirit
IN Wall Street
Stocks Show Their Traditional
Upward Activity

New York Dec. "a LF-The stock
market showed the traditional
Christmas" spirit today by moving
upward under the leadership of high
priced industrial shares. A few soft
spots cropped out IN various sections
of the list, but these were direeard-
ed by operators working for higher
prices, who based their campaign on
the prospect of further special
dividend distributions by large
corporations.
The scarcity in the floating sup
ply OF many high grade issues indi-
Gated that large blocks OF stock had
been taken out of the market by in
vestors during the past few weeks,
making it difficult for shorts to
cover their commitments except at
advancing prices. Gains OF to B
points were quite common.
The upward movement received
fresh impetus during the early after
noon. when the call money rate was
lowered from 6 to IL per cent. 1t
had been expected in some quarters
that the higher rate would be main
tanned until after the first of the
year. Wall street generally was in
holiday mood, due to the wide
spread distribution Of Christmas
bonuses among the larger banking
institutions and brokerage houses.

TOWER TO CONTROL
TRAFFIC CENTER
New System to Become Effective
Next March

Erection Of the traffic tower at
the National Bank corner does not
mean that the centrally controlled
traffic light system will be operated
at once, Chief W. c.. Hart explain
ed today. for the reason that deci-
sion as to the wiring has only just
been made and many other details
to be arranged cannot be completed
for several weeks at least. 1t is ex-
pected that the system will be in
operation about March l, the chief
states.
There will be lights on two sides
of the tower, to replace the present
lights at this corner. and the oper-
ator will also control all the lights
about the center. from Franklin
Square to East Main street and as
far west as High and West Main
streets. New lights at Myrtle and
Main, Commercial and Main, and
Court and Main will be on standards
at the curb. The other lights will
be in the center OF the street.
The traffic policemen whose pres
ent posts will be regulated by lights
will be assigned to duty at intersec-
tons where the need for protection
has not been filled because of the
shortage of policemen. There are
several OF these points about the
city. In the budget for the next fis-
cal year. the police department will
request appropriations for traffic
lights at East Main and Elm, STAN
ley and East Main and other inter-
sections, the purpose being to elimi-
nate the danger points as rapidly as
the funds will permit. Intersections
at Broad street are dangerous, Chief
Hart said today. and the corner of
Spring and Winter streets Is one of
the worst In the city due to the
heavy traffic and the inability of
motorists to see in either direction
before reaching the crossover.

Hazleton, Pa, Dec. "a IL.
Christmas in the anthracite coal
region is much different this year
from 1925, when the field wal
paralyzed by a strike involving
$4,000 employees. The strike began
September l and ran five and one
half months. reaching its peak dur
ing the holiday season.
Statements OF John l.. Lewis, IN
ternational president OF the United

attention to the prosperity which
prevails this winter and predict
continued good times for the IN
dustry.
Christmas in 1926 is a more
Joyous season than the Yuletide OF
a year ago" said Mr.. Lewis. AT
that time the anthracite industry
was enduring the stress OF a great
strike with all OF its attendant in
conveniences and suffering. Today
we are happy that these conditions
no longer exist. The anthracite
mine workers and the anthracite
communities are enjoying relative
prosperity with all its attendant
comforts There is every reason
able expectation that the present
day prosperity will continue for an
indefinite period throughout the
industry and the nation"
Thomas l.. Kennedy, interna-
tional secretary-treasurer Of the
United Mine Workers, declared
that "the Christmas season of 1926
finds the anthracite region and its
people in more fortunate position
than 1925. We can celebrate the
feast of Christmas this year with
the real spirit which the occasion
demands"

'I had stomach gas so bad that work was a burden and I was al- ways drowsy. Adlerika is the best medicine I ever took. Since taking it, I feel like doing my work and enjoy life again. Mrs. W. II. Clintsman.
 Adlerika gives the system REAL cleansing and brings out old poisons which may have caused trouble for long time. Unlike most medicines, it acts upon BOTH upper and lower bowel. Just one spoonful relieves GAS and takes away that full, hlOated feeling so that you can eat better and sleep better. Even if bowels move daily, Adlerika brings out much addition al poison which you never thought was in your system and which caused sour, gassy stomach, nerv- ousness sleeplessness, headache. No matter what you have tried for your stomach and bowels, Adlerika will surprise you. At druggists.
