Cotton and the Bears.

From The Montgomery, Ala, Journai)
The bears in the cotton market have
had things pretty much their own way
during the past week but It IS by no
means sure that they will be able to held
the situation long. The crops since Au-
gust "a has been going backward The
extremely hot weather has done the crop
irrcparable damage. The Journal is pre-
pared TO believe that cotton win bring l2
cents i'll the market. and many believe it
viii so higher, incidentally it might be
mentioned here that for the past two
years the west has had high-priccd wheat
and have prospered while the south has
had lowpriced cotton and has not pros
pered. 1t looks like things are going to
be evened up this season by the conditions
being reversed.

People with good blood possess strong,
steady nerves and are best with good
appetites and digestion, and enjoy
sound, refreshing sleep. If we could
always maintain the purity Of the
blood then we might enjoy perpetual
health, but it becomes infected aid
poisoned and most of the ills that alfiict
humanity and undermine the constitu-
ton are caused by an impoverished
or polluted condition of this vital fluid.
When the blood is diseased the skin
loses its healthy appearance, and the
complexion, It's freshness and beauty
and becomes red and rough and full of
pi1nples and splotches. Itching, scaly
eruptions, blackheads, boils and rashes
break out upon the body when the
blood is too poor or too thin and acid,
and is not supplying proper nouTlsh-
,nent to the system. Debility, poor
appetite, bad digestion, restless sleep
and nervousness more often come from
sluggish, impure blood than any other
cause. To build up the blood, restore
and nutritious again is the only rationa
