New York, April 23.-Prices Of the ma

night, but the number of active issues
was very small. The United States Steel

being one of the dullest in the ex-
changes history.
There was nothing In the way OF
movement that, attracted any attention
and such usually active stocks as Mis-
souri, Pacific, Rock Island, Sugar and
Manhattan were not dealt in until late in
the first hour.
Allis- Chalmers preferred recovered yes
terday's three point loss. Central Rail
road Of New Jersey declined a point.
The favorable bank statement had been
expected and its publication did not
change the listless temper Of the market.
Prices were practically immovable.
Realty preferred lost a point and Wheel
ing & Lake Erie TX. Brooklyn Transit
and Metropolitan Street Railway advanced
a large fraction and Distillers Securities
and Toledo st. Louis & Western preferred
a point. Consolidated Gas fell below yes

ONE MILLION DOLLARS
 FOR A GOOD STOMACH
Mr. Rockefeller's Offer Should Be . Warning To Every Man and Woman.

The newspapers and medical journals recently have had much to say relative to John D. Rockefeiler's offer of million dollars for new stomach.
 This great multi-miliionaire was too busy to worry about the condition of his stomach. He allowed his dyspepsia to run from bad to worse until in the end it became incufable.
 His misfortune serves as a warning to others.
 Everyone who suffers with dyspepsia for few years will give everything he owns for a new stomach.
 There are twenty million men and women suffering with dyspepsia--twenty million men and women whose stomachs are wearing out.
 There are no new stomachs for sale at any price.
 We offer these sufferers the next best thing. We guarantee to make their old stonachs almost as good as new.
 Dyspepsia is caused by an abnormal state of the gastric juices. There is one element missing. The absence of this destroys the function of the gastric fluids. They lose their power to digest food.
 We are now able to supply the missing element-to restore to the gastric juices their digestive power, and to make the stomach strong and well.
 We know that Rexall Dyspepsia Tab lets will positively and permanently cure. We want you to try them. and will return your morey if you are not more than satisfied with the result.
 Price 95 cents. Only at our store, or
