PATENT MEDICINE FAKES.
How to Find the Truth About the
 Drugs Sold in Packaoes.

To those who know how, it is very easy matter to separate the worth less from the valuable package drugs sold at the drug stores.
 Naturally YOU are interested in ad- yertisements, but perhaps you are a skeptie, and pass them all up, That is wrong. Some of them are really valuable. For instance, the new chem ical, Benetol, discovered in the Uni versity of Minnesota by It's professor of chemistry, Is a real revelation to scientific men.
 But how to tell the difference2 Ft is very simple. If you are interest ed in an advertisement, ask your drug gist to let you see the package or bot tle What is on the package is gen erally the truth. The pure food law provides heavy penalty for lie on the package But it makes no provl- sion against lie in the advertise ment.
 Peroxide and many other prepara- tions claim to kill gerhs If you read ads to that effect, look at the pack. age or bottle Does it state there how many hours 1t would take FRESH peroxide 10 destroy even one germ!
 The fact is there is only one REAL germ destroyer, and that is Benetol the discovery mentioned above. The claims made on Benetol packages are simply astounding. but the maker would not dare claim them if they were not true.
 In spite of the wonderful things claimed for Benetol. we know they are true. Get bottle of us, Hot springs Pharmacy, eos Central ave. nue. and read the new science of pro tectlon against disease in the print ed matter in the carton,

 Futures opened steady at decline of 5@6 points on poor cables anl rather aggressive selling for the short account. Cable messages from Liverpool predicted that many cotton mills would shut down this week be- cause of lack of fuel. Telegram from New York stated the belief that bulls were tired of their load Of contracts. The weather map was very unfavor- able and was the only influence in the early trading to check short selling. Too much rain was shown over the cotton belt and the forecast promis- ed mere. At the end of the first hali hour of business prices were j@9 joints down
 Around the middle of the morning E shorts tried to take profits but found few contracts for sale. Their bids caused a recovery without any aid from the long side. Large exports out of Galveston more than offset the plus correction of Il 900 bales an- nounced in Liverpool stock. Bears predicted weekly statement in their favor for Friday, and also that fore casts of the Iext and final ginnerS figures from the census bureau would be larger than expected. The market held very steady in spite of bearish gossip, and at noon stood un- changed to 1 point down compared with Saturdays final quotations.
