NOTHING LIKE
Paine's Celery
Compound
FOR CLEANSING AND
PURIFYING THE
BLOOD.
1t. RenaoUes the Germs OF
Disease, HlUigor0tes
and RejuUenates-

Thousands of men and women
who have neglected the work of
physical recuperation in the sum-
mer months, are now carrying a
burden of disease. In the majority
of cases, impure and poisoned blood
and a sluggish circulation are the
direct causes of suffering and misery.
Are you, dear reader, one of the I'M
happy victims? If SO, the life
stream must be made pure, the
health-wrecking laxity of the blood
vessels must be corrected, the
nerves and tissues must be nourish-
ed. Paine's Celery Compound is
the medicine that physicians re-
commend for the increase afzsRre
blood in the arteries, and for ar
rousing the purifying organs to
cast off the Impurities that give
rise to disease. Mr.. Jas. F. Hud-
son, Spring Ridge, La, was a ter
rible sufferer from impure blood ;
he tells how he banished his
troubles
"From some cause my bloc d be-
came impure and resulted in boils
and pimples. At one time | suf-
fered from u boils. No one can
imagine what | suffered. | tried
sulphur, sarzparillas and other
remedies, but 30 relief came. Mr..
Sebastian, Al merchant whom |
used to clerk sr, handed me one OF
your circulars and insisted that l
should use Paine's Celery Compound
after using two or three bottles the
boils were not so numerous nor as
large. After using the fifth bot
tie, l was entirely cured, and have
been myself ever since"

/ in the downward course OF prices helped
| on the recovery of the later part of the
/ day. The closing was very active and
strong, with prices aggressively on the
| up grade The recovery in the steel stocks
was not decisive and they closed at net
! losses of u for the common and prefer
| red The extreme declines were PA for
| the preferred and / u for the common.
| Considering the fact that rumors recent
! ly in circulation had placed the net earn
| ings of the United States Steel Corpora
ton for the quarter at as high as $685.,
900 900 and that other rumors had alleged
average monthly earnings of 10000 600,
| the actual figures for the quarter $29,-
| Isl. 615 were naturally a disappointment,
especially as the three months showed
successive declines down to the estimate
| for December of less than $4,000, 900. An
| increase of only about a million dollars
over the previous quarter was considered
unsatisfactory, as that previous quarter
| included the period of the costly strike
and reports of current trade have been
enthusiastic for some time past. The
| enormous absorption of Union Pacific and
its aggressive recovery to 1041@ from the
early low level of 1918 was an effective
by the proceeding against the Northern
Securities Company in the Supreme Court
Owing to the wide reaching Importance
attached to this whole subject, the re-
siliency of this group of stocks had a
notable sentimental effect on the whole
market. There was no news to explain
the movement, unless it might be due to
a report that the Inter State Commerce

inquiry into the affairs of the Northern
Securities Company until later in the
month. The excuse offered by the United
States Steel authorities that car short
age and freight blockades had affected
their earnings was taken as renewed
confirmation that the railroads had all
the business they could handle The spec
ulators used this as a favorable argu-
ment for the rally in the railroads Some
what inconsistency, last weeks sharp
decrease in gross earnings in some of
the soft coal carriers was attributed also
to car shortage. Rock Island was strong
on the large net earnings for November.
The movement in Sugar was characters
tic of an unusual meeting day. The rise
to 124h was attributed to the appeal By
the President of the company for the
abolition Of the duty on raw sugar.
The bond market was somewhat irreg-
ular. but responded to the late strength

New York, Jan. S.-Home buying has
tgan been on a restricted scale in all de-
partments of cotton goods, but sellers
are not pushing more than usual for bus

COTTON.
New York, Jan. S--The cotton market
opened firm with near months l to 5
points lower and far months to points
higher after which the course of the
market was generally upward on support
from Wall street bulls and fitful cover
ing by local shorts. When the call start
ed the cables were decidedly against
rally and receipts favored still lower
prices than were recorded yesterday
january broke Vi no and leverythn
seemed to Indicate bear market for
the rest of the day. March sold off to
7S1 and May to TSP, but as the late months
were reached. substantial buying orders
came to light while offerings were much
smaller than in near months. Shorts
became nervous and local bulls picked
ND courage with the result that the trad
ing level Immediately after the call was
five to six points over last nights bids.
Toward midday there was a slight set
back under profit taking by smaller longs
but when the noon hour arrived the mar
ket showed a decidedly firm undertone
with prices at the best figures of the
morning. Shortly after the noon hour a
few southern buying orders made their
appearance and started covering by ring
shorts. This demand found the market
almost bare of offerings and sent prices
UP in sensational form, May advancing
from 1893 to 500 in as many minutes.
Light estimates for tomorrows New Or
leans and Houston receipts, together with
Wall street buying orders, kept the mar
ket steady during the rest of the after
noon though there were occasional slight
setbacks under sales for profits by longs.
Bears We're troubled by predictions for

to closing up accounts wherever oppor-

1t was not so many years ago that the
coal tar which is produced in the manu-
facture of gas was regarded as a waste
product. and something of a nuisance at
that. But the chemists and experiment
talsts got hold of the stuff, and their
manipulation has made of it an exceed
ingly valuable byproduct. This coal tar
is a marvellous material. From it come
beautiful dyes, Sleep-producing powders,
headache subduers, pain killers, fever
coolers. germ destroyers and the sweetest
substance known. The scores of chemi-
Gals obtained from coal tar are procured
through Il process of distillaton which
is almost perfection.
For instance, when the tar. after the
tar water-StrOnS iii ammonia-haS been
drained off, is heated in tank that
serves as a still to a moderate tcmpera-
ture, say l05 degrees, benZine is produced.
When 100 more degrees of temperature
and then comes the carbolic oil from
which carbolic acid is made. Creosote is
given off at a little higher temperature,
and then comes anthracite oil, the raw
material of many products.
Some of the wellknown drugs which
are secured from the several Installations
of coal tar are antipyrine. phenacetine,
sulphonal antifebrn and acetanilaid.
Saccharin. which is almost 300 times
sweeter than cane sugar, is tar product
Colors ana dyes OF every tint and hue
are made from this one-time waste pro-
duct. Analine one of the best of the tar
products, was discovered as far back as
1853. and when it was learned that from
anline beautiful colors could be made a
new world of investigation was opened
to chemists, and since then every color
| that can be produced by vegetable or ami
| NAL matter has been made from coal tar.
