ADVERTISING TALKS
WRITTEN by
WILLIAM {. FREEMAN.

A recent FINANCIAL AN
NOUNCEMENT in New York
newspapers attracted my at
tention because it concluded
with the following UNUSUAL
paragraph:
while we do not guarantee the
statements contained herein. they
are true to the best OF our knowl-
edge and BELIEF. having been OBJ
tanned from sources official and

The average financial ad-
vertiSement is 4 cold-blooded
proposition, full of technicali-

people who make a study of
financial matters. They are

Furthermore, there is no at

In this Country today there

SHREVEPORT RATE CASE
NOW UP TO COMMISSIONERS

New Orleans, La, Oct, 4.-The So
called Shreveport rate case, in which
the louisiana Railroad Commits
sion seeks to secure for louisiana
Texas freight business the same rate
in force between points in Texas,
came up for hearing before the rep
resentatives of the Interstate Com
merce Commission The Texas rail
roads and the Texas Railroad Com
mission are the defendants.
The case is of vast Importance to
the railroads and shippers of the two
states. Should the contentious of
Shreveport be sustained, either the
Texas rate must be decreased so as
to place them on an equal footing
with those now applying from
Shreveport to Texas points, or the
interstate rates reduced TO the
Texas schedule, which latter steps
would enable Louisiana shippers to
become strong competitors for Tex
as business

CONFIDENCE.
We Back Up Our Statements with
Our Personal Reputation and
Money.

We are so positive that we can re-
lieve constipation, no matter how
chronic it may be, that we offer to
furnish the medicine free of all cost
if we fail.
We think that 1t is worse than
useless to attempt to cure constipa-
tion with cathartic drugs. Cathar-
ties may do much harm. They may
cause a reaction. irritate and weak
en- the bowels, and make constipa-
ton more chronic.
Constipation is often accompanied
and may be caused by weakness of
the nerves and muscles of the large
intestine or colon. To expect cure
you must therefore tone up and
strengthen those parts and restore
them to healthier activity.
The discovery of the active prin-
ciple of our remedy involved the
labor of skilful research chemists
This remedy produces results such
as are expected from the best of the
best-known intestinal tonics, and il
is particularly prompt in its results
We want you to try Rexall Order
lies on our guarantee. They are ex-
ceedinly pleasant to take and are
ideal for children. They apparently
act directly on the nerves and mus
cles of the bowels, having, it would
seem, a neutral action on other or
gans or glands. They do not purge
or cause inconvenience. If they dc
not positively cure chronic or habit.

myriads of associate or dependent

QUAINT HOLLAND DEPICTED
IN OPERA COMING HERE

In the new Henry Blossom and
Victor Herbert comic opera, 1.-THE
Red Mill" which Martin G Emery
Co. will present as the next attrac-
ton at the Cairo Opera House on
Monday. Oct, Is, local theatre-goers
will witness musical offering which
is undeniably the greatest success
New York has produced in recent
years.
The scenes of The Red Mill" are
laid in the picturesque and quaint
country of Holland of the present
day, the atmosphere lending itself
to faithful portrayal of the dykes,
canals and the little red mills of the
small Dutch kingdom, with the pecu-
liar costumes of the officials and
peasants which are relieved by tour
lists from America and England.
The story has to do with two ven-
turesome spirits who are doing"
Europe on their nerve rather than
their purse, but who strike snag
in a little Dutch town, where they
are caught in the act of leaving the
hotel by the window, with their
board bill unpaid They are sem
fenced by the Burgomaster (the
mayor to work out their debt to the
innkeeper. One acts as the porter
and the other as the walter In
these DISCUSSES they find themselves
the harmless victims of extraor-
binary circumstances, having to as
sumo innumerabe disguses before
funds arrive from America and they
settle their indebtedness Mr. Bios
som has rounded out his interesting
story by bringing into the play two
| young lovers who are so timely
helped by the touring pair.
Victor Herbert has also done hil
share In furnishing score which
consists of some twenty musica
numbers, all of which are now beinl
sung or whistled throughout the
country. They include Every Da.

Writing of the celebration OF th

the vast wealth of our avuncular rel
atiyes In most thoroughfares in Lon
don pause to consider their origin. or
course It is the bails of gold to which.
We refer. Not only may they be
taken as indications Of wealth, but as
sign that pledges are received. But
the balls do not indicate what they
really are. They are the arms Of the
Medici family. Whoever has visited

the Tuscan palace have found their
way to London?

we give the subject moments
thought. The first gold changers to
settle In London, as In Paris, were
the F1orentines or Lombards. They
chose Lombard street as the place
where they could carry on their bust
ness. These early settlers are per-
petuated today by the bankers. In
the early days the inhabitants counted
among their number some OF the Me-
dici family and to inspire confidence
they exhibited their family arms, to
which they had perfect right. The
family of Medici is extinct today. but
their arms survive them. the present

the origin too great to be dispensed
