This particular device adds another arm to the business world and actually works wonders. When a Arm of an individual calls up, If there i no one in the office to answer the call, this device raises the arm that holds the receiver and by means of a record notifies the person of that fact and states further that the conversation will le recorded If talked into the transmit ter at the other end.

Mor than half of mankind over 60 yeara of age suffer from kidney and dis orders, usually enlargement of prostate glands. This is both painful and dan gerous, and Foley'a Kidney Cure ahould be taken at the first sign of danger, as it corrects irregularities and naa cured many old men of this disease. Mr. Rod ney Burnett, Eockport, Mo., writes i "I suffered with enlarged . prostate gland and kidney trouble for years and after taking two bottles of Foley's Kidney Cure I fell better than I have for 20 years, although I am now 91 years old."

New of frost in the coffee-growing districts of Brazil, woke up the local market yester day, and the trade had the unusual spectacle . of seeing room traders rush about the floor and transact the largest volume of business that has been done Oa the exchange in any one day this year. Sales amrregated ro8,50 bags be tween the call at 11 o'clock, and the close at 3. Shorts were frightened early In the duy, and rushed pell mell for the nearest cover. The situation developed the fact 'one that has long been suspected among traders here that Europe is short a big line of September coffee in the local market There was frenzied switching by firm interests who wanted to get rid of their September holdings, and Europe took all it could get, at prices which were distinctly to its ad vantage, Dealings in September alone mounted to 113.500 bags, including the switches, a record which would have been considered a big total day's busi ness on any previous during the past year. Four of the five states of Brasil reported frost. This news came in pri vate cables to exchange members, but it did not take it long to get abont the floor and start real action. Prices which were a little stronger anyway; on account of better news from Europe, took a sudden jump and closed IS to 25 points above the last figures for Wednesday. : ' . Frost in Brazil is critical at this par ticular time. The crop is in a precari ous condition, and the frost, if at all severe, will retard, if not entirely blight the flowering. New wood On the old trees is necessary to the growing of the new crop, and if this is damaged by frost' just now, the yield is bound to be greatly restricted. This news is joyfully received by the friends of va lorization. The stock of 8,000,000 bags, which the syndicate is holding in the various ports of the world, was just begining to worry these gentlemen, and has kept the world's markets dull for several mouths. This is the first decis ive news received which has any bearing on the ultimate results of this gigantic speculation in nature.: Three days ago the Wall Street specu lators were attempting in a mild sort of a way to liquidate their holdings snd get , away from the dullness In coffee circles. Yesterday they rushed back to the board and were willing buy ers of December. March and May, bid ding up the .prices on these positions well over the six-cent mark. - . " f-. An Apology.
