A great diplomatic victory for President Wilson is what the Kolnische

our State Department’s latest note to Berlin, and our acceptance of the Imperial
Government’s compliance with our demands, and our rejection of every sugges
tion of a condition attached to this compliance. Since this acceptance calls for
no formal answer from Germany, special interest attaches to the comment of the
German papers and to the tone of the press dispatches from the German capital.

Billy Rossignol Was
Badly Hurt Because us
Dynamite Discharge
Billy Rossignol. attractive little four
year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. F.
Rossignol, of 260 Greene street, is in a
serious condition as the result of being
struck with a slab from a stump which
was being dynamited by the city of
ficials on Third street next to the
Prontaut building, about 200 yards
away. The little fellow was struck on
the hack by the slab, which weighs
probably 150 pounds, and has not to
tally regained consciousness as yet.
Whether or not serious internal inju
ries will develop cannot be stated. The
physicians will know after a lapse of
48 hours.
The child was playing in front of his
home and was totally unaware of any
danger. While the city officials in
charge probably had no idea that the
discharge of dynamite would do so
much damage that far away, still it
is suggested that proper safeguards be
thrown out and ropes stretched or red
flags placed for several hundred yards
in each direction.
The great number of friends of Mr
and Mrs. Rossignol will sympathize
with them because of the Injury to
their little boy and hope that he will
quickly recover.

SAYS DIET HELPS,
CURE PELLAGRA
No Longer Any Uncertainty About
Conquering Dreaded Malady.
Pellagra investigations conducted by
the U. S. Department of Health show
that diet is an important factor in
curing Pellagra. However, Dr. Hen
don advocates not only a nutritious
diet to help the patient gain strength
but the use of Baughn's Pellagra Treat
ment, which really effects a cure by
getting at the cause. The Baughn
treatment has been so successful that
it is now sold with a positive guar
antee to cure pellagra or the money
will be refunded. The best way to
find out all about pellagra and its cure
is to write to Qr. Hendon, care Amer
ican Compounding Company, box 2012,
Jasper, Ala., asking for their big bock
on pellagra, which is sent free in plaiS
wrapper.
Note: This firm is reliable and does
refund the money in cases where the
patient isn’t cured.
WEEK IN TRADE
New York. —Investment securities as
represented chiefly by railroacLissues and
war shares, particularly muintions, mo
tors and the general run of equipments
and industrials, went their separate
ways this week. Specialties of all de
scriptions were unfavorably affected by
persistent peace rumors while rails de
veloped unexpected strength on what
seemed like substantial accumulation.
Reading led the movement in rails,
that stock being in extraordinary de
mand from about 90, its minimum price
of the mid-week to 10614. a new high
record, attained in the course of an
enormous overturn during yesterday’s
very active session. The strength of
other rails heightened the impression
that increased or extra dividend dis
bursements are in contemplation by lead
ing transportation systems whose bril
liant earnings for the past half-year or
more justify such action.
While the course of other stocks was
marked by indecision two developments
of the week —payment of another de
ferred dividend on Republic Iron and
Steel preferred and resumption of divi
dends at an increased rate on Distillers’
Securities —pointed to the steady im
provement in varied lines of industry.
