Plain History.

Swift's Specific is simple vegeta-
BILE compound, prepared from roots
gathered freshly from the forest, and
contains nothing of the mineral
kingdom, or any poisonous substance
or any article at all which comes from
the chemists laboratory.
The formula of the remedy was OBJ
tanned from the Creek Indians in
Middle Georgia, by reliable white
men, who had witnessed the wonder
cures made by that tribe of Indians,
of blood diseases. Mr.. Hugh l.. Den
nard, of Houston county, Ga, began
using Swift's Specific in 1929, and
continued its use all of his life, and
asserted that he had never known il
to fail to- cure any case of scrofula,
blood faint, or contagious blood pois.
on. This testimony has been cor.
roborated every day for years. The
present company was formed in 1879
and have since made known to the
world the virtues of Swift's
Specific, and today it is sold in every
city, town and country store all ovel
America, Great Britain, and many
other portions of the world.

That Tired Feeling

season is here again, and nearly ev-
cry one feels weak, languid, and ex-
hausted. The blood, laden with inn
purities which have been accumulate
ing for months, moves sluggishly
through the veins, the mind fails to
think quickly, and the body is still
slower to respond. Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla is just what is needed. 1t is, in

that tired feeling, and imparts new
strength and vigor to the whole body.

THE STIMULUS OF GOOD CROPS.

TRADE BRIGHTESs UP ALL OVER THE COUNTRY.
The country begins to feel the stimulus OF
good crops. New spring wheat began to ar
rive at Chicago on August l, 10 days earlier
than last year. The st. Louis corn corner
has no effect, an abundancy is expected and
business in all departments is gaining. In
the iron regions distinct increase in demand
is fslt, and orders for another 800 new
locomotives have b EN- placed during the
week Tie certainty of large traffic also has
its effect upon railroad negotiations, which
have made progress toward peace.
The fact that, under such favoring circum-
stances. the stock market had gained dur
ing the week only 40 cents on 800 on an
average of prices, may be attributed to
monetary uncertainties, and to the great
volume Of securities awaiting buyers, for
the i'll success Of the Interstate agreement,
and the recent legislation in western States
have inclined many holders TO sell, while
projects for $1,000 miles of new railroad, and
fora vast number of industrial trusts. have
caused an Unusual body of new stocks and
bonds to be offered, of which but a small
part has yet been placed.
Treasury operations have only added Sl00,.
600 to the cash ON hand for u week. The
volume of trade continues to exceed last
years, at New York II per cent. and outside
Il IL per cent. accordingto clearings through
banks. Exports for July from New York
appear II IL per cent. larger than last year,
with imports IL per cent larger. Pork
products have all declined little.
Sales of wheat reach 100000 bushels for
the week, of corn 100000, and of cotton
l9l, 900 bales, But coffee IS three-quarters
stronger, with sales Of $4,000 Sags. In oil
only 3 10000 barrels have been Sold and
the price is about cent lower. The wooden
industry still hesitates, If the dry goods
market does not soon improve general
yielding in wool would seem inevitable.
On the other hand, more encouragement
is felt in the iron business, Bar iron is
stronger, plates more active at full prices,
and rails strong, though at present without
considerable sales. The coal trade is still
sluggish. The general movement of prices
in July was upward, averaging l per cent.
for the month. The business failures num-
bered 2lO, rs compared with a total of PIG
last week, and 2Os the week previous. For
the corresponding week of last year the iis-
ures were PIG.

THE WORLDS HARVEST.

Crop reports in this country and Europe
are 50 often manipulated by grain specula.
tors, they don't do to rely on The weight
of evidence now is that we will have the
largest yield Of wheat this year ever known.
It is estimated at not less than 800, ,OoO, ,OO1
bushels, larger by 100000 bushels than
any preceding yield. Corn is hardly up to
the average, but the yield OF
oats and hay are also ahead
of the record. At the South
great crops of corn. cotton, rice, sugar and
tobacco are promised. The reports from
abroad are in serious contrast with this cheer.
ing outlook. There is hardly break in the
unfavorable showing made by the early har-
vests in the European fields. 1t is admitted
In the Russian official reports that the
wheat crop is the poorest in many years.
and the same is true for the most
part of Central and eastern Europe The
estimates for England and France have been
greatly reduced within few weeks The
reports from Australia are bad, and esti-
mates from India show a shortage Of 49,
100000 bushels, or fully 6 per cent.
of the usual yield. All this looks
like big prices for the big American crop;
and, If the present conditions hold, it is
evident that for the year now opened Amer
lea will hold control of the market for tho
food supply Of the world.

SUGAR TRUST BUBBLE.

A great crash in the Sugar Trust is impend-
ing. A foreign syndicate got control of SOO-
Doc, 900 pounds of sugar which was stored at
Madgeburg, running the market up to ,29s
per hundred at London, finally selling it to
the American Sugar Trust at presumably
good profit. The contract with American
purchasers called for the delivery in New
York Of sugar under l3 Dutch standard ut
which grade there is only moderate custom
duties. The sugar was over the standard, and
hence the duty was prohibtive. Then a
plan was adopted of coloring the whole
mass down to l3, by which process it
loses one point in the polariscope as well.
The banks backing the syndicate on account
of the time and risk in coloring the sugar, re-
fused to advance it more money, causing the
syndicate TO close its doors. The syndicate
then got money advanced, presumably from
the American Sugar Trust, but this is only
temporary expedient, and the great crash
must soon come. The Madgeburg schemers
tried to reduce the sugar TO n grade where it
only would be taxed 2.0S cents per pound
while in its actual state it would have been
taxed 3.5 cents per pound. The difference
between these two gross amounts would be
81, 10000, which would be what the Treas
ury would have lost if the plan had not gone
wrong. The whole amount involved in the
transactions is over S5,OOO,0O0. The market
has gone down TO Dos.
