There Is no doubt" he said. that
the chances today Of an American mn
Iionaire In the European art market
are shocl1ingly bad. The demand for
fine pictures is enormous; It has far
surpassed the supply and Is steadily
increasing. Every one who can az
ford 1t wants his private gallery: even
people Of modest fortune have an old
masterpiece or so, as they have an au-
tomobile Consequently the prices OF
pictures have risen, risen, risen, until
the temptation TO fraud has become r.
resistible. There Is no longer such
thing as an honest art dealer, or If
some exceptional dealer happens to be
honest be is sure to be Incompetent"
~And the art experts9" asked.
Worse than the Dealers" he de-
elared. -Why should they know any
thing about art7 They are stable boys
today, art experts tomorrow. One Of
the most successful art experts in
Paris was q billposter a few years
ago. Any one may be an art expert
who chooses to put up sign. There
are no qualifications, no diploma. A
man simply calls himself an art expert
and chat settles 1t. And these are the
fellows you rich Americans deal with.

ONE MILLION DOLLARS FOR
A GOOD STOMACH
This Otfer Should Be Warning to Every
Man and Woman.

man eAa WethtNAAs
The newspapers and medical journals
recently have had much to say relative
TO a famous millionaire's offer OF a mil
lion dollars for a new stomach.
This great multi-millionaire was too
busy 10 worry about the condition Of
his stomach he allowed his dyspepsia
to run from bad TO worse until in the
end It became incurable.
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.
Dyspepsia is caused by an abnormal
state Of the gastric juices. There is ono
element missing. The absence Of this
destroys the function Of the gastric flu
ids. They lose their power to digest
food.
We are now able to supply the miss
ing 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
disordered stomach, Indigestion and dys-
pepsia.
We want you TO try them and win
return your money II you are not more
than satisfied with the result.
