COTTON MEN SCORE
THE liverpool PLAN
Denunciatory Resolutions Are
Adopted at Meeting Held
at Memphis.

MEMPHIS. Tenn, January oO-Repre-
sentative bankers, shippers and cotton
dealers whose interests extend through
out the cotton-growing states of the
south reiterated today that the so-called
Liverpool plan Of bills Of lading valu-
alton through the medium Of a central
bureau is "repugnant to sound business
principles" and refused to sanction the
plan as originally drafted at the Euro
pean bankers conference. or as amended
several times as to details. Instead a
committee was appointed to meet with
representatives Of the European bank
ers and cotton men at Memphis Monday
to arrange. IL possible, another plan.

cotton bills Of lading committee; ]. Hope
Simpson, secretary Of the European
bankers conference committee. and

United States OF. OF the the, European european, cotton ton
plan at today's conference. They ex-
planned the plan in detail but at the end
Of their argument the southern cotton
men were unconvinced and after three
hours Of spirited debate adopted resoiu-
lions denouncing the proposal.

The cost Of 1t. IL anything, would fur
nish a ground of criticism. The deficit in
the Post Office Department is so old and
so substantial that practically every citi-
zen has come to look upon it .as one Of
the permanent institutions of the land. 1t
has been due to the carrying Of mail mat
ter free or at a rate less than cost.
But the deficit has at last been wiped
out and without doing away with the
franking privilege. The cost Of the frank
ing privilege as shown by the last general
weighing of the mails all over the coun-
try was 7 cents per capita annually. This
is q tax so light that il 1t were conscious

WOMEN and HEALTH.

Women are beginning to realize
more fully that good health is not to
be found in the use of cosmetics and
face powders. The appearance OF
health may follow facial treatment,
but health itself lies much deeper than
the surface.
Most important to the health of ev.
cry woman is regularity of the bowels
and digestive organs. The weary
eyes, bad breath, frequent headaches,
pimples and general air of lassitude,
is in most every case due to consti-
patton or Indigestion, or both. There
are various remedies prescribed for
this condition, but the easiest, most
pleasant and certainly effective, is
combination of simple laxative
herbs with pepsin known to druggists
as DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. This
simple remedy is far preferable to
harsh salts and cathartics and violent
purgative waters, that disturb the
whole system without affording more
than temporary relief.
DR.. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin is a
tonic laxative, mild in its action,
pleasant to the taste and positive in
its effect, strengthening the muscles
Of stomach and bowels so that after
short time these organs regain the
power to perform their natural func-
tons without assistance.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is sold
by druggists everywhere in SOC and
$1.O0 bottles. II you have never tried
it, write for sample to DR.. w. B.
Caldwell, POI Washington st., Month
cello, ILL.,; he will gladly send a trial
bottle without any expense to you
whatever.
