The various exchanges, II seems, all
are heartily In favor Of iegisiating
the "bucket shop out Of existence.
as they claim that, because the lay
mind does not readily distinguish be-
tween the legitimate exchange and
the ordinary bucket shop; the ex-
changes are blamed for financial los
ses accomplished through the melium
Of their smaller business, In that they
merely take bets on the rise or de-
cline Of prices. while transactions on
the exchanges entail what to all In
tents and purposes is an actual trans
fer OF grain and stock
II Is now generally recognized that
with the exchanges In existance, the
farmer Is enabled 10 get the benefit
Of competitive buying, which would
not be the case were he compelled
10 await the harvesting OF hts crop
and then sell IL to the first and. per-
haps. the only buyer or bidder II IL
also more or less well known fact
that before the existing system OF
crop marketing was perfected, ex-
porters were compelled to protect
themselves with a wider margin OF
profit, and, foreign competition en-
tering the field and preeluding the
possibility Of their debating the sell
ing price, the first selIer--,he farmer
--a,ad 10 bear the brunt OF this situa-

the exporter. 1'oday4the grain bust

cents margin Of profit TO the trader,
with the result that the farmer is en-
abled TO realize a much better price
for his crops
These anti.option or anti-futurcs

committee, and II Is probable that by
the time they come up for hearing
Congress will be swamped with let

siblc that the defenders will marshal

BANKER SPENT LAST
| W EIGHT YEARS in MISERY

Z y "a
Carleton H. Hutchinson, a leading
banker and broker Of Boston, with
Offices at s Congress street, in that
city, has recently come out with a
very strong statement
In the widespread discussion over
Cooper's new theory and medicines
which has spread over the country 50
rapidly, Mr.. Hutchinson has taken the
side Of those who say that Cooper's
theory is correct and his medicine all
that he claims.
Mr.. Hutchinson's emphatic state
ment is as follows: Anyone afflicted
with chronic i'll health and a general
rundown condition caused by stom-
ach trouble, who does not try this
man Cooper's medicine, is very fool
ish. | say this after most remark
able experience with the medicine.
II heard Of Cooper's success first
when he was in Chicago, as have a
private wire to that city in connection
with my business. Later, when he
came East, | learned more Of him and
his theory that stomach trouble
causes most i'll health. have had no
faith in anything not prescribed by a
physician for each particular case af-
ter careful diagnosis, but after eight
years Of constant suffering, during

troubled with formation OF gas, and
led the usual miserable life OF the

and gloomy all the time, and was al
ways constipated.
II have taken Cooper's medicine
comparatively short time. For the
past month have not had the slight
est sign OF stomach trouble. | can
eat anything with no bad effect what
soever. ! have a fine appetite, am
gaining flesh very rapidly, am cheer
full, full Of energy, and my nervous
ness has disappeared. My bowels are
in perfect condition for the first time

II don't hesitate to say that ! would

was. My relief and thankfulness is

Bed-ridden Sufferer Completely Cured

One OF the most remarkable
Eczema cures recently credited to the
we'll known D. D. d. Prescription has
just been recorded in Chicago.
Mrs. Z. Hegg, 1850 West Madison

1907, writes as follows:
II suffered three years with Weep
ing Eczema. 1t started with little
spot on my knees and spread fast
over my whole body. / spent hun
dreds Of dollars and went to every
good doctor | heard of, but kept get
ting worse. Nothing would stop the
awful itch and burning.
II had TO stay in bed from the
middle of May to the middle Of July.
Then / tried D. D. D. Prescription.
This is the 9th Of December and /
am entirely free from the terrible
disease. D. D, D. saved my life.
when began this treatment, peo-
pie were afraid Of me | looked so
terrible. My husband was the only
one who would take care of me,
D, d. D. stopped the itch at once so
| could sleep, which ! had not done
before. Then ! began to get better

Just few drops of d. d, D. Pre-
scription applied to the skin brings
