Laxative Sent
Free to Try

It may be taken for granted that
there is no family of any size that
goes very long without needing lax
alive. If You don't know of a good
laxative, or the laxative you are using
is losing its effect, we want to call
your attention to DIR. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin, which thousands of families
are using successfully.
We have scores of letters from moth
ers. and scores from prominent men
saying they are using IL personally and
giving 1t to their families men like Mr..
c. K. Smith OF the Traffic Clearing
House, Pine Bluff, Ark, and Mr.. George
B. Turner. . lawyer of Harlan. KY. The
thousands of mothers who use II them
selves and give IL to their children
would take too much space to mention
The reason they prefer Syrup Pepsin
is that IL is a mild. gentle laxatiy e.

COTTON MARKET
CLOSES QUIET
BY Associated Press.

New York, Nov. 2S.-Cotton futures
opened stady at an advance of points,
to decline of 1 point, December being
relatively firm on scattered covering while
other months were about in line with the
Liverpool cables. The entire list turned
easier after the call, selling to 6 points
lower with prices reaching new low rec
ords for the season. The market seemed
to reflect disappointment on the part of
recent bull traders and trading had not
been sufficient to continue to absorb Of
ferings around the 9-cent level.
Covering in connection with a little
trade demand and buying here against
sales in Liverpool, checked the decline
after prices had shown a net loss of
about TG8 points. The market later in
the morning was irregular. with prices at
about midday to 6 points under yester-
days closing. Private wires from the
south reported freer offerings of spot cot
ton this morning, but business which had
been quite active. seemed to be tapering
off later in the forenoon.
The market was less active during the
early afternoon, but ruled steadier on
realizing by shorts, with prices working
up to about the closing figures of yester-
day
Cotton spot closed dull; middling up
lands, $50; middling gulf, $50. Sales

CHICAGO GRAIN
AND PROVISIONS
BY Associates Press.

Chicago, Nov. 2s.-Forced under by a
food of offerings, wheat today sank below
the dollar mark for May, the delivery in
which most of the bushes swas trans
acted. Opening figures here were I'M
changed to 1-S41-4c higher at 100 Is to
100 IA, but the market declined to 80 34.
Late conditioning of corn tended to
make that cereal firm. May opened I'M
changed to Use higher at 81 and 81 Is,
and rose to 81 1-SG1-4
Oats received good support from COM
mission houses. May started a shade
lower to a like amount up at 80 lag
40 3S and seemed inclined to hold within
that range.
~ Provisions eased OFF on account Of de-
preston at the yards. Open buying ord
ers for pork caused that staple to be
relatively firm. Initial sales were the
same as last night to 1-2Q5c down with

New Orleans Futures.

New Orleans. Nov. 2S.-The market for
cotton futures opened steady practically
unfavorabIe as it showed rain, snow
and cold weather in the cotton region.
Some kilograms from the interior said
the grade of open cotton that much OF
it would never be picked. Selling was
steady in spite Of the weather and al
the end of the first holt hour of business
prices were 6 to 7 points under yester-
days close. Support was almost entirely
from proht-taking shorts.
Sentiment was bearish enough to have
caused a material decline around the
middle of the morning, chiefly as the
result of the Newberger crop estimate OF
Is SOC, 900 bales maximum, but steady buy
ing was in evidence and the rumor went
the rounds that some of the larger shorts
were quietly buying, in order to reduce
their lines and secure profits. Good
buying orders came from some source OF
other and effectually checked the decline
At noon the trading months were only
points under yesterdays final prices.

inch lengths and put in deep

say, four hundred pounds of fertilizer
to the acre. This formula may con-

SUGAR Cane,

sugar kdnSB
1t is hard to determine which is the
most important, or valuable, crop to
the Florida settler or farmer, whether
sugar cane or sweet potatoes. Il
would be difficult to find home in the
country in South Florida that did not
have sugar cane patch. And yet
strange as it is, cane is not used to
any extent. as a stock feed. The
principal use is to make syrup-no
sugar being made at all. Every fam
lily could make it's own sugar, but
they prefer to make syrup and sell il
and buy sugar. The crude cracker
way of making sugar is to simply boil
the juice a little longer than fol
syrup. This product is a light brown
small grain sugar, which for cooking
and preserving purposes is simply
good enough"
AS to varieties, there are quite a
few. AS to which is best 1 can not
say and If I did the firts man l dis
cussed it with would dispute with me.
Let us say that there is not much
difference, except in the variety known
as japanese. This latter is the most
prolific of any sort, and is a sure
producer. 1t will grow from the
stubble Observation-Disclosures. The diff
ferent varieties of ribbon or green
canes grow much lrager and are COM
paratiVely soft for stock to eat or for
the mill to grind. AS to the syrup,
like the Japanese quite as well as
any. 1t does not go to sugar as the
other does if the syrup is made thick;
If thin it does not ferment so easily
If exposed to the air. All Florida
syrup these days is put in alright
cans and remains fresh and new" so
long as the seal is not broken.
The larger varieties do not always
grow well from the stubble. Freez-
ing weather is apt to damage the
stubble. It should be "dirted' as soon
as cut; this will protect it and there
is hope for a second or third crop
from the one planting. 1t requires lib
eral fertilizing, while the japanese will
do well with much less manurfng.
All sugar cane should be planted at
least four feet, and, the Jap cane is
better planted six feet between the
rows. Cut the cane into tvelve-inch
lengths and place these in the fur
rows two to four inches apart. Put
in little manure or fertilizer at time
of planting and double the quantity
a foot or SO high, broadcast in the
cane is the most certain of all crops
in this state. AS to the yield, too
much depends on the land and the
attention given it. A medium low,
WELL drained land suits it best, though
it is a good cropper on the highest
land.
Every farmer should feed sugar to
all stock. Have plenty for syrup and
for hogs, especially. Sugar is very
fattening.
