New Orleans. Aug. t.-Today g
session In the cotton market was one
!. OF the widest in recent years. Ex-
tremely Wild bulges were followed by
siumps that left scores OF bewilder-
ed SPECTATORS nursing losses In their
wake. In the early session the scalp
ing element counted immediate pro-
aus on the long side. but In the after
. noon session these profits were re-
placed hy losses At the highest Of
the DAP the trading months were 80
, 20 30 points over yesterdays close.
= - . 7sas< 49,. IN thc lowest prsces
were IL TO rs points under yester-
days last quotations. From the
highest to the lowest there was a drop
1of ss 10 Sc points No such huctu-
ations have been seen In months. The
market closed at the lowest.
According 10 the gossip OF the mar
ket. the wild price changes were en-
tireiy due to the manipulative tactics
Of new and powerful clique which
ftousht heavily In the early hours and
kept shorts on the run to cover; when
this ammunition was about exhausted
and the rings were buying heavily
for turn on the long side. the
clique Suddenly commenced to sell
and so heavy were the offerings that
!. prices crumbied away. In the morn
ing the tone was firm: In the after
noon. II was weak.
N Is generally supposed that the
fact that the Liverpool market will
be closed tomorrow and Monday had
much 20 do with the manipulation
. and In connection with this the re-
fusai Of the New York Cotton ex-
change on those days is now regard
ed as significant.

When the roots of the hair are en-
tirely dead and the pores of the scalp
are glazed over, we do not believe
that anything can restore hair growth.
Rexall "93" Hair Tonic acts scien-
tifcally, destroying the germs which
are usually responsible for badness.
It penetrates to the roots Of the hair,
stimulating and nourishing them. 1t
is a. most pleasant toilet necessity, is
delicately perfumed and will not gum
nor permanently stain the hair.
We want you to get Dottle of Rex
all "93" Hair Tonic and use it as di-
rected. If it does not relieve scalp
irritation, remove dandruff, prevent
the hair from falling out and promote
an increased growth of hair and in
every way give entire satisfaction,
simply come back and tell US and
without question or formality we will
hand back to you every penny you
paid US for it.
We lend our endorsement to Rexall
'93" Hair Tonic and sell it on this
guarantee, because we believe it is
the best hair tonic ever discovered. 1t
comes in two sizes, prices so cents
and s1.00. Remember you can obtain
it only at our store-The Rexall

A WRESTLING WELL.

A resident of West Seattle has in
his back yard a whistling well which
predicts changes of weather instead
of gushing water. With the inten-
ton of boring for water this man
drove drill 153 feet below the sur
face.
The well was abandoned at this
depth because no water was in sight.
Later the owner noticed that the
pipe which capped the bore was
spouting wind making a peculiar
whistling sound. At other times the
pipe seems to suck in wind.
BY observation it has been found
that the expulsion of air precedes a
storm of some sort, and the influx Of
air a change for the better.-Popu-
lar Mechanics.
