Among the bullish incidents of the week were very optimistic interviews with Chairman Lovett of the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific systems, President McCrea of the Pennsylva- mia, President Young of the New York Central and a number of well known bankers of New York, Chicago and else where. Reports from representatives of the Steel trust, Harvester trust and many other of the mammoth industrials came in to supplement the glad talk of the railroad men. The international bankers also made it plain that they were friendly. Advices from Mexico represented the situation there as be- ling more encouraging for fairly peaceful adjustment of troubles. Ma dero seems to be getting the upper hand and to be stronger in the good will of the people than at any time during his stormy administration This diminishes the chances of the United States being obliged to forcible inter- vene, although that danger is by no means over. The presidential campaign Is for the moment forgotten as a stock market factor.

Circumstances are conspiring to the ad- vantage of high finance. By the time the urgent need for money for crop moving purposes is over, the era for refunding old bond issues, and the Notation of new bonds and stocks will begin. The situa ton will be ripe for the huge manipua- ton and the bankers and bond under writers will have a picnic. As q matter of fact, a great deal of the financing will be the simple transfer of new bonds and other forms of securities for maturing paper. comparatively small amount of read money will figure in the spectacular dealings. The bankers and negotiators will pull down enormous commissions and fees, but the general situation will not be disturbed, except for stage effect. The big bankers like this sort of thing. It puts them in the limelight and makes them look very important. And better still for the bankers) the operation fur nishes them an excuse for immensely profitable rake-offs.

International money conditions have the stock market situation a fact which is only now beginning to be full ly understood and appreciated The demands for funds were going to be heavier this year and the first part of next year than ever before and the banks began very early to prepare for the drain. This took a whole lot of fine work and the preparations extend- ed over two continents. Money had to be arranged for in Europe, a task that called for skill, diplomacy, patience and time. 1t is now all over, with the re- suit that American business will have the cash and credit needed to keep the machinery in motion. Bankers are taking advantage of the situation to exact high rates of interest, but they are entitled to do so They had two of three years of a glut of money and very low rates of interest. They are now having inning. Naturally they are making the most of a strenuous de- mand for money and will continue to do so. It is their privilege and op- portunity. It is plain, however, that the international bankers are at last willing that good times should come. A Knowledge that such Is the case has become widespread and is the great encouraging feature. It is what the stock market has been waiting for.

"EviI Eye" Based on Fact.

Most people have heard OF the EVIL
Eye" and now we are informed by
Charles l.. Smith, noted New York
refractionist, that the superstition
arose because everyone, without know
ing 1t, has one eye that is different in
power and activity from the other He
designates 1t the dominant eye," and
according to whether It is the left or
the right children will grow up left
handed or right-handed. 1t is sheer
cruelty. and may entail lifelong mis-
cry. to force a child to become am
bidextrous. Such course may result
In wrecktng the nervous system, and
can only be cured by reversal of the
process SO that the dominant eye"
may regain natural and undisputed
sway. Men who are ambidextrous had
better keep strict guard over their
actions lest they should be credited
with the "evil eye"

BABY's HAIR ALL CAME OUT

When my first baby was six months
old he broke out on his head with little
bumps. They would dry up and leave
a scale. Then 1t would break out
again and 1t spread all over his head.
All the hair came out and his head
was scaly all over. Then his face
broke out all over In red bumps and
1t kept spreading until 1t was on his
hands and arms. I bought several
boxes of ointment. gave him blood
medicine. and had two doctors to treat
him. but he got worse all the time.
He had 1t about six months when q
friend told me about Cuticura. l sent
and got a bottle of Cuticura Resolvent,
cake Of Cuticura Soap and a box OF
Cuticura Ointment. In three days
after, using them he began to i'm
prove. He began to take long maps
and to stop scratching his head. After
taking two bottles of Resolvent. two
boxes Of Ointment and three cakes OF
Soap he was sound and well. and never
had any breaking out OF any kind. His
hair came out in little curls all over
his head. I don't think anything else
would have cured him except Cuti-
cura. -
II have bought Cuticura Ointment
and Cuticura Soap several times since
to use, for cuts and sores and have
never known them to fall to cure what
l put them on. Cuticura Soap is the
best that have ever used for toilet
purposes" (Signed) Mrs. F. E. Har-
mon. R. F. d. 2, Atoka. Tenn, Sept
