My friends think me foolish to give so much good advice gratuitously in the paper: 1 teach many peobpie how to avoid being sick. I set themn thinking and help them to get well without seeing me. Well, I am glad of it. They ap- parently don’t need my treatment and if they came to me I would tell them s0. That is part of the service I give tie public. And my personal advice to you when you call is just as free— costs you no more—than the advice I give you in the papers. Then there are the knockers. They disapprove—without personal Knowi- edge—of everything that is not con- ventional, not Weustomary. If the world were ruled by them, we woulc. still travel by stage and light our streets with oil lamps. “If Dr. Hyde were any good,” so say some of these good folks, ‘he wouldn’t have to adverti People would come to him anyway.” Well, they do. Many come to me recom- mend by others. They never saw name in the paper. But you ere not one of those, reader, and T want to REACH YOU. You in your village hamlet or cottage. ~You who have tried all the doctors in vain and are braced up only by the faint hope that somewhere somebody might be able to see you today. What good would it do you if your neigh- ‘hnr told your wife at your funeral that you should have gone to Dr. Hyde? My specialty is to help those people whom other doctors could not help. It is my life study. And I want you to know it and come to me while there is time. DR. CL'NTON "o J.

BERNARD F. GAFFNEY, Judge. . | plies and prices | than among Henry Clews’ Weekly Letter (Special to the Herld.) New York, Oct. 14.—The course of the stock market has been influenced almost entirely by peace rumors and war incidents. The first caused weak- ness on the theory that will compel a slowing down of important industries, owing to the necessary ces- sation of munition orders and the demobilization of trade from a war to a peace basi Peace, it is argued, will reverse forces which have been push- ing prices to a very high level, and values must consequently recede. The second cause of weakness was the out- break of submarine activities near the coast of the United States, which re- vived apprehension of difficulties be- tween this country and the Central or the Allied Powe These two unfavor- able developments struck hard upon a market technically weakened by a pro- longed rise and loaded to the breaking point with Dbig profits. Extensive realizing was inevitable, the result being a weakened and unsettled mar- ket. Fortuntely, the home situation has changed but slightly, if at all. In- dustry is active, prices are rising, and the strictly home outlook is certainly good. But the foreign situation, still the prime factor, is full of threatening possibilities; besides which we are now in the midst of a Presidential cam- paign which is likely to daily grow more tense and irritating. Under such circumstances the obstacles to a fur- ther rise at this time were insuper- able; and the financial situation, in- Vvestment as well as speculative, has been cleared and strengthened by re- action, which might possibly be car- ried still further, without serious in- jury. On the other hand, the specu- Jative spirit has been thoroughly aroused, many operators with newly gained wealth and big resources are in the market ready to take advantage of every shift in the flnancial current. A strong undertone of confidence exists in the financial district; and any favor- able development will be quickly re- flected in security values. As yet no symptoms of lessened activity are in sight. Commodity prices are still rising; the general level being fulyl 25 or 30 per cent higher than before the war. Cotton, copper, steel, oil, rubber, sugar, wheat, meats and all food pro- Auets are advancing, stimulating gen- eral unrest by adding to the already high cost of living. Since the war, wheat and flour have nearly doubled, mets have risen 20 to 30 per cent. and over. The British government, after taking over control of several commo- diti is now regulating wheat sup- Textiles show a sub- stantial rise since the war. tton goods are 25 to 100 per cent higher, linens have doubled, woolens are 50 to 70 per cent above 1914 and carpets have risen 60 to 100 per cent. Thus far these advances have been more conspicuous in the wholesale markets retailers. Eventually, however, they will reach the latter class and the general consumer, who will also have to pay fos the increased costs of distribution ng from the scarcity and high wasges of labor. This upward movement is worldwide and not by any means confined to the United States. The causes are numer- ous and somewhat complex, and vet nearly all of them find their primary origin in the war. First and most serious, is the shifting of millions upon millions of men from productive occu- pations to those of destruction. Hence peace % the scarcity of labor and the incalcu- able wastage of life, property and commodities. Nothing can prevent even higher prices while the terrible scourge of war continues. Produc- tion is decreasing while consumption and waste are constantly increasing. Governments may endeavor to restrain speculation with all possible energy; they may scek to prevent the unscrup- ulous from taking undue advantage: they may secure better distribution and somewhat mitigate the hardships of abnormal conditions; but no gov- ernment is powerful enough to throttle the inevitable law of supply and de- mand which, owing to scarcity, now operates irresistibly in the direction of higher prices. High prices are the natural correction of such conditions and the only sure way of stimulating preduction. ISconomy, efficiency and stoppage of waste are equally necesary to offset the high cost of living. Even in the commercial world the ill effects of the war are painfully illustrated, and many lesseng can be learned; chief of which are the inviolability of economic law and the penalties which the whole world must suffer for the struggle now devastating the Conti- nent of Europe. Railroad prosperity continues un- checked. Reports for twenty-three important lines for the fiscal vyear cnded June 30 show earnings Of rearly 12 per cent, compared with over 7 per cent. a year ago. These results were attributable to the good crops and high prices of last year; also to the industrial activity brought about by the war. Railroad mana- gers anticipate a continuance of favorable conditions for a long period to come. The steel industry con- tinues at high-water mark, and the monthly statement of the Steel Cor- poration showing unfilled orders on September 30 of 9,500,000 tons is satisfactory. Our banking situation is very strong, the comptroller having announced that the resources of the national banks of the country are the jargest in history. The coutr: 's gold supplies have been enormously in- creased by importation, and the com- bined holdings of the reserve banks are now placed at $592,000,000. | These facts immensely strengthened the credit situation, a feature which | of course has an importeant bearing on the maintenance of trade acti- In the midst of our general pros- perity it is advisable not to overlook the ultimate effect of the prevaill hostility to capital at home hostility manifested in eve sible direction, and has been fied Tather than moderated by present business conditions.

The change from knickerbockers into his first “Long Pants” Suit is a momentous event in any youngster’s life.—Remember when you first made it? How the boys tried to ‘roll ’em up?” Tailors then didn’t have the skill they have now. ‘Young Men’s” suits looked like Old Men's;—worse,—like the “Old Man’s suit,” cut down! Tt was awful funny,—for the other boys. But now, the good makers design special models for very Young Men. ——————————————————————— bility for inflation in values and the consequent rise in the cost of living is in some quarters foolishly at- tributed to capital. Railroads are still obectjs of hatred by a large class of ignorant public leaders. Corpora- tions generally are being subjected to a1l sorts of hostile legislation and in- creased taxation in every direction. The steady rise in taxation is porten- tous, and though accepted with little protest while prosperity lasts, will prove a serious burden when reaction comes and unsound conditions de- velop. It is time to call a halt, both on behalf of justice and intelligent self-interest. This hostility to capital is unreasoning, unsound and more in- jurious to those who lidulge in such prejudice than to any one els 1t continued, it will drive capital from the country in large amounts and check development in home resources, discourage national industry and tend to diminish the rewards and oppor- tunities for labor. The long-continued preference of shrewd investors for bonds and short term obligations over railroad stocks, the growing demand for public utilities, he large purchases of foreign bonds and the increasing interest in foreign investmets have all been visibly stimulated by this almost childish opposition to capital and to domestic enterprise on a large scale. This opposition, born originally of corporation misconduct and kept alive by prejudice and misguided public opinion, still continues and had much to do with fomenting recent labor troubles. Intelligent labor leaders must recognize the ultimate conse- quences of such a policy. Labor has recently lost considerable public sym- pathy through bad leadership, and some of its latest successes are likely tc prove a boomerang. Big corpora- tions long ago roused public prejudice by abuse of power and have pald the penalty. Now labor is doing likewise, and gravely injuring its own cause. The public is going to insist that capi- tal and labor alike show proper re- gard for public interest, which s supreme. HENRY CLEWS. City Advertisement October 14, 1916.
