FLOUR TRADE LOOKING UP

to the Orient Marine Notes,
Chartering of sailing: craft for new crop
loading has subsided and since the char
ter of the fSrman ship Aster was an
nounced, several days ago, there has
boen additions to the list of vessels
coming; this way. As yet there has been
no steam tonnage, engaged for the new
soaaoii business and all the sailing craft
are for October, or November and, with
the exception of the Aster, the rate has
bcn the minimum of the association
(27 shillings 6 penoe).
During March and April, last year,
thore was not a single charter for out
ward loading of new crop grain and even
as late as" June the exporters-would not
take a vessel at even 25 shillings. The
charter business this season Is a matter
of much concern to the exporters. Last
reason the rates went as hlffh as 33
hillings and 6 pence for sailing craft
and over 40 shillings for atearners. What
Uie steamer business will develop this
yer is a matter of conjecture.
Flour business between Coast ports and
the Orient will be better than ever, owing
to the cut in rat made by the regular
Ulnes and the offerings of outside vessels
at low rates. Officials of the Portland &
Astatic Steamship Company say that
. thrre is a large amount of space reserved
on their vessels for flour and that each
steamer will go out fully loaded. The
first of the fleet which will take out flour
under the new tariff will be the Arabia,
which is due to roach Portland about the
middle of the montl. The Arabia will
sail with close to 60.0f0 barrels. The
Numantia, the 'next vessel of the fleet,
will proceed from Yokohama to San Fran
cisco and discharge the overland freight
at that port before proceeding1 to Portland.

PURELY VEGETABLE
GREATEST 'OF ALLTONICS
The healthful vegetable ingredients of which S. S. S. is composed,
and the method of combining and preparing them so that they build up
and strengthen every part of the body, make it the best of all Spring
tonics. S. S. S. is nature's medicine, free from all strong mineral
mixtures, and made entirely of the healing, cleansing juices and extracts
of roots and herbs; a safe and pleasant tonic for persons of any age.
Almost every one feels bad in the Spring. Some have no particu
lar ailment, but are debilitated, run-down and weak, and their systems
are in a state of general disorder. The change in the seasons produces
a like change in our bodies, and more is required from the blood, from
which- source we receive our physical nourishment and strength, at
this particular time than at any other.
The refuse and impurities which naturally accumulate in our
systems are not properly expelled in Winter, because those members
whose duty it is to perform this
work of drainage do not receive
sufficient stimulation from bodily
exercise, and therefore grow dull
and sluggish in their action; nor is
the skin as active in eliminating
waste matters in cold weather.
These Winter accumulations
pollute the blood, and destroy its .
nutritive qualities to such an extent
that when Spring comes, and
everything takes on new life, and
we change our method of living,
the circulation is so-weakened that
it is unable to supply the increased
demands of the system, and we
suffer in consequence.
Our physical machinery seems
to tet "out of gear," and suffers
from weakness, nervousness, loss of appetite, lassitude, etc. ; sleep is
not refreshing, there is a constant worn-out feeling, and we do not feel
able to perform the ordinary duties of daily life. This disordered con
dition demands the use of a tonic which has the additional qualities of
a first-class blood purifier, for to restore health and strength the blood
must be purified and built up to its normal, rich condition.
S. S. S. is not only the best Spring tonic, but its ability and worth
as a "genuine blood purifilr, is universally recognized. It goes right
down into the circulation and meets -every demand for a tonic and
blood purifier. S. S. S. removes all accumulations, impurities, and
waste matters from the circulation, enriches and purifies the blood, and
brings about a healthy change throughout the entire system. S. S. S.
rids the body of that worn-out, run-down feeling, improves the appe
tite and digestion, reinvigorates every fibre and tissue of the body, and
Imparts healthy energy and strength to those who are suffering from
the unpleasant conditions which always come with Spring.
S. S. S. does not contain any form of mineral ingredient, and those
who are in need of a tonic, whether for old or young, would do well
to remember this. S. S. S. is for sale at all drug stores.
THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, GA.
Last Spring I nasd S. S. 8.,
and I believe it to be a very
fine remedy indeed. Iffy blood
was weak and impure, and my
reneral ay. tern In a run-down
condition. I had dizsy spells,
my appetite was not rood, and
I bad but little life and enerr?
abont me. reeling; so badly X
decided that something- had to
be done, so I commenced the
use of S. S. 8. I began to feel
better from the start. My ap
petite picked up, the dlszy
spells left me, and I rained six
pounds in weight. It raye me
rich, pore blood and built up
my general health. It is atf
excellent remedy, and worthy
of all praise.

.The difference between a certificate of
stock and a bond is important. A bond
is a definite promise to pay with a
definite rate of interest. To insure
payment of the bond as well as the in
terest, the assets of the company issu
ing the bond are pledged. The property
of the company is mortgaged; the mort
gage is placed in trust and the' bonds
are issued by the trust company, hold
ing the mortgage of the company as a
guarantee of the payment of the bonds
and the interest thereon. A certificate
of stock is merely a participating inter
est in the company issuing the stock.
The stockholder is frequently liable, to
the full amount of his stock, for the
payment of bonds issued by the com
pany in which he is a stockholder. A
striking difference between the holding
value of a bond and stock is the fact
that the Government, during the recent
stringency, w.as willing to and did take
railroad bonds as security for money
loaned by the National Treasury. Stock
in a railroad company was not dignified
by such confidence. A still more con
venient feature about a bond is not al
ways true of stock; it is readily con
vertible into cash. Still more, bond in
terest is due and collectible at stated
times; it must be paid -and usually is
paid promptly. Dividends irom stock
are manipulative and a dividend declar
ation is entirely at the discretion of a
board of directors. Not so with bonds.
This interest must be paid or the assets
forfeited.
OCEAN SHOR
RAILWAY CO
BONDS
ARE NO EXCEPTION TO THE GENERAL RU
If you had a note, bearing 5 per cent in
terest, extending over a period of 35
years, interest payable semi-annually,
backed bv all of the assets of the
OCEAN SHORE RAILWAY COM
PANY, signed by its proper officials,
you could have no better security bu
earth for your monej-. That, in sub
stance, is the proposition in a nutshell..
Such is an OCEAN SHORE BOND.
These bonds are $100, par value, and
can be purchased from us at $92 for
cash in full or $96 on terms, payable
$16 down and $10 per month. The terms
are such that any man whose income
will permit him to invest $10 a month
can own RAILWAY BONDS, drawing
splendid interest. No matter who you
are, where you live, what your occupa
tion or why yrou do it, an investment in
bonds is the most certain security for
your idle funds that you can find. The
leading financiers of the United States
will tell j-ou so. Better call or -send for
free information about this excellent
investment.
