Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, June 26.-Aggressive
buying of stocks again sent prices high
er on the exchange today
During the early part of the session
the utilities were the leaders, then va
rious low-priced industrials were taken
UP, and finally in the last hour there
was a violent advance in the railroad
stocks. -
The buying of the rails was based on
reports that the Interstate Commerce
Commission would grant an immediate
increase in freight rates of 7L2 per
cent. There was no confirmation Of this
report and il was discredited in rail-
road circles, but it had its effect on the
market. Gains of 3 to points were
registered by Baltimore & Ohio, New
York Central, Union Pacific, Atchison
and all the active carrier shares. New
York, Ontario & Western made a new

The whole incident illustrated the
change of attitude in speculative circles,
any report Of favorable character be-
ing credited and acted upon, whereas
unfavorable news was ignored.
A compilation of the first 81 railroads
to report May net operating incomes
showed a loss of 1914 per cent over the
same month year ago.
Under cover of the strength in the
rails, there was good deal of profit
taking in the industrials toward the
close and mcst of these left of some

was j. !. Case, in which a large short
interest struggled in vain to release it

Influences 70 which the market re-
sponded today included the reaSSuring

relative to the French attitude toward
the proposed moratorium, the intima-
ton that the administration proposed
to take steps to relieve the situation in
South America. renewed buying OF cop
per metal, principally from abroad; an
advance in crude oil prices on the Pa
ciflc Coast and the strength In the
bond market. The optimism with re-
gard to the French position was
heightened by the extraordinary strength
on the Paris Bourse, where the market
had what was said to be the greatest
boom since 1922"

What will happen to the who

being based on the condition of the
individual at the time he commits Of

If he has sound digestive organs,
a sound heart, healthy arteries and
kidneys, a normal blood pressure,
is not overweight and has no tend
ency to diabetes, perhaps nothing
will happen. There may be some feel
ing of discomfort or a slight diges-
tive upset. But, this person is not a
regular offender, so he suffers no
serious results.

way. 1t feels that the best is none too
good for its people and its guests.

The United States Chamber of
Commerce with which the Salisbury
Chamber is affiliated has submitted
two referenda to the membership over
the country carrying proposals look
ing to business and employment
stablization. One of the referenda is
being taken on a report by the Cham
Business and Employment and the
other on a report by its National Re-
sources Committee. They are number
ed So and 50.
The report Of the first named com
mittee analyses conditions produc-
ing instability in business and employ
ment, and dwells upon means for pre-
venting the excuses in business activ-
titles which bring general reversals and
depression. The report proposes means
under the antitrust laws for pro-
noting sterilization of business acti-
witty as is in the general public in
terest, the setting up by business
itself of a national economic council
to aid all fields of business in the plan
ming, establishment of privately
sustained systems of unemployment
and other benefits based upon definite
reserves previously established, and
other measurers upon which the men,
bership of the Chamber will vote.
The report of the National Re-
sources Committee proposes relief in
emergencies for the natural sourc
industries, such as coal, oil, lumber
etc by setting up as government
tribunal which would permit agree
ments for curtailment of production
when in the public interest.
The Salisbury Chamber of Com
merce Board of Directors will be fur
nished copies~of the full reports with
a ballot upon which t record their
individual vote whether in favor OF
against the proposals set out by the
two committees. These are to be
mailed out during the present week
and will be aggregated and officially
proclaimed at the December meeting
of the Board to be held Monday Dec
ember 9th, the vote of each Chamber
of Commerce having to be in Wash
ington by December 18th, to be
counted.

sure, is difficult to predict. Nothing
may happen. Excessive eating would
add to the strain on the organs of
circulation. The large amount of
protein likely to be consumed may
place an additional burden of work
on the already diseased kidneys. Diges-

serious in those whose hearts are
badly diseased.

Victims of angina pectoris (neu-:

too heartily a short time previous to
one of the attacks. In the presence Of
a high blood pressure and brittle,
hardened arteries, a heavy meal has
been followed by an apolectic stroke.
Those who are overweight add to
their burden of fat. The large amount
of carbohydrates likely to be consumed
in the sourse of a big dinner may
cause the appearance of sugar in the
urine in the case of those who are on
the verge of diabetes. The diabetic

And, everyone knows that food of
the wrong kind in excessive amounts
