To Avoid Disease

The need of an effective standard
antiseptic in every household, either
for deodorizing and disinfecting sick
rooms, or for the prevention and de-
struction of all infectious or contagious
diseases caused by. germs, is well es-
tablished fact; and there is nothing
better or more economical than Tyree's
Antiseptic Powder. A twenty-five
cent box will make two gallons of
standard antiseptic solution.

throughout the world, and has been
strongly recommended by physicians
for more than twenty years. Dis
solves instantly in water, contains no
poisons, and when used as douche
it is unsurpassed. Extremely beneficial
in the treatment of catarrh. Sold by
druggists everywhere. Send for book

ONLY VEGETABLES
AND FRUITS SHOW
DECREASED PRICES
Eggs and Pork Both Higher,
Meats and Fish Hold
Their Places.
FEW CHANGES LOOKED
FOR THIS SUMMER
Beef Will Stay at Present Figure
Until Fall, Dealers
Believe.

A slight rise in the price of eggs
and Of pork, a slight fall in some of
the seasonable vegetables and a
steady market on beef, veal, and fish
sums up the situation on the retail
market today.
On the whole, the week has been
steadier than at any previous time
this summer, and the opinion seems
to prevail among the retailers that
prices have now reached a stage
b. where they will remain with very lit
tie change for the balance OF the
Eggs are up from one to two cents,
an unusual fact for this season OF
the year. Best fresh eggs are worth
S6,n 20 cents, 2 cents more than they
are selling at 23 cents, a rise of
cent over last week. .....
Bacon has risen from 22 cents to
cents instead Of 1914 of last week.
but the other pork products do not
snow any change. ..
Vegetables Lower.
Sweet potatoes, string beans. celery,
eggplant. and few other vegetables
show a drop OF a few cents, and pine
apples and the various fruits have
also reached midseason prices.
The beef market continues to hold
up to the record breaking prices Of
last week. On account of these high
prices and the absence of a good per-
centage of the population from the
city, the market Is exceedingly quiet.
several meat dealers said today they
had never seen so little business in
their line as now.
Beef Rules High.
Beef in Chicago has reached $1O.25
and shows no sign Of weakening.
As the Chicago market regulates the
beef market all over the country,
local dealers no longer believe that
there will be a decline in Center
Market prices this summer. At any
rate it is pretty certain that nothing
Of the kind will happen for some
time.
