MARKET REPORT

Il y.
1912 "A suspicion of weakness invad-
red the cattle alleys this morning. but
ii was soon brushed away, and most
of the trading was done at the ad-
vance of ten cents secured YESTERDAY
Some of the statesmen call the market
on killing cattle half a dollar higher
than the first of last week Stockers
and feeders are about quarter high
er in that time, most of which ad-
vance has been put on this week.
The run of 720O head here today is a.
little larger than on recent Tuesdays,
but dealers look for runs to remain at
minimum figures for a couple of
months ahead. Two loads of steers
sold at s. 40 here today weighing l.
500 pounds. These steers were bought
here last August, and weighed at
that time $50 pounds, and cost 81. so.
They went into the feed lot early in
November. The advancing cost of
meat is said to be curtailing con-
sumption, and killers are said to have
considerable beef in their coolers
They pay the strongest prices asked
from day to day grudgingly, and are
scanning the horizon for signs of
swelling supply. Corn belt feed lots
offer no encouragement, but South
Texas will have a fair crop of beef
this month and next, and northwest
ern hay feed cattle are coming east
this year. Last season they went
west to Pacific coast markets. Two
trains of Oregon hay feed steers sold
here last week at s6.4O to s7.65. and
Chicago had fifty car loads of Monta-
ma hay feds yesterday. Quarantine
supplies are slim this week Two
loads in the southern division sold at
$3.50 today, 127I pounds, from Waxa-
hachie, Texas.
Receipts of hogs today foot up H.,
900 head here, and are fairly liberal
at other markets, hence the decline
of 10 cents in prices. Top sold at
S7.90, bulk of sales $3.50 to S7S5.
Buyers are prepared to weld their
hammers in case supplies continue
liberal, condition that would not be
surprising. Estimate here for tomor-
row is $4,000 head, and Chicago ex-
poets 25.000 head Dealers concede
that strength underfies the whole
situation, and some say that there
will not be the usual swelling of re-
ceipts in May and June this year
Sheep and lambs are about a quar-
ter higher for the two days yesterday
and today. Lambs sold at IS 20 to-
day, highest price since June, 1910,
some 6S pound lambs brought $500,
S5 pound yearlings sold at S7.15, and
ped stock is in the minority as yet,
and sells about IS cents under wooled
stuff. Receipts show positive signs
of dwindling this week, about 5000 on
sale here yesterday, $500 today Six
loads of Texas goats are here today,
two loads of the tops which sold at
80. Medium mixed Texas sheep,
IS pounds, sold at $3.50 todey

A bALD.HEADED WOMAN
Shorn of Her Crown of Beauty,
Loses in Love and Marriage.

Hair is certainly most necessary to
woman. Who could love and marry a
bald headed woman. What charms
could she array to Offset such a disfig-
urement.
A woman's goal is usually love and
marriage. Her GROWING glory is her
hair. The loss OF her hair mars her
beauty, happiness and success. Yet
right here in Paris there are hundreds
of women who are neglecting their. hair
to such an extent that it is only a mat
ter of time when it will he utterly
ruined.
Many women destroy the beauty of
their hair through thoughtlessness or
ignorance of certain facts. They use
curling irons overheated or to excess
which destroys the natural oil of the
air causing it to split, break and come
out. They do not shampoo their hair
often enough, or too often. They use
soaps or preparations which contain in
gradients positively harmful to the
scalp and hair.
As result of such treatment dan
drutf is created, the hal, loosens, luses
color, falls out, and badness COM
mences unless proper and prompt pre-
cautions are taken in time. Then again
microbes and certain diseases bring
about unhealthy scalp and hair condi-
tions.
Almost any woman may rid herself
of dandruf and diseased scalp and hair
it she will but use the right remedy.
We have that remedy, and we will
positively guarantee that it will either
cure dandruff and badness CT it will
not cost the user anything.
That's pretty broad statement but
We will back it and prove it with our
own money. We will return your mon
ey if you do not find that Rexall "93"
Hair Tonic is an entirely satisfactory
remedy that will promote hair growth
and overcome scalp and hair troubles :
that it will grow hair even on bald
heads, unless all life in the hair roots
has been extinguished, the folilcles
closed and the scalp is glazed and
shiny. 1t gets its name from the fact
that it grew har in SO out of 100 cases.
where it received a thoroughly hard.
impartial and practical test.
We want you to try Rexall "93''
Hair Tonic at our risk. You surely
cannot lose anything by doing So.
while you have everything to gain
You had better think this over and
then come in and see us about this
offer. You will be well repaid for

There is something bold and attrac-
tive in the cover page of the March
National that inspires one with the
very temperament and spirit of the
month named in honor of the Roman
war god. The sturdy sailor ON the
forecastle by the windlass is a spen-
did reproduction of the type of sailor
of the bygone days when the American
flag was found on every sea where
civilized commerce or remunerative
employment could be found.
There is the usual flashlight on
affairs at Washington. calling atten-
ton to the fact that the next March
winds that blow will witness another
inauguration at Washington. The
opening of Presidential headquarters
and the clearing Of the decks for the
campaign of 1912 are described by the
editor, Joe Chapple, who seems to be
here, there and observation-disclosures
there is a breath of political air stir
ring.
The remarkable serial, 1.-The Minor
Chord" the story of an American
prima donna, continues in this issue.
The fiction for the month is an especi-
ally strong feature, There are glimps-
es of the men who are doing things to-
day with persoal sketches about Wrig-
ley, the chewing gum man. Cairns,
prominent in the railroad world, and
other Americans who are in the public
eye. The story of Sam Sticks horse
trade and many other tempting yarns
have the coy warmth of the fireplace
in the chill of the early spring months.
DIR. George Wharton James tells the
exciting history of Mrs. Josephine
Clifford McCrackir, a noted California
writer. A notable paper on "The
Farmer in Ancient Times" is contrib
uted by Charles Winslow Hall. These
and other features make the March
issue of the National unusually attrac-
tive,

The Norwich (England) board OF
guardians recently unanimously decid-
ed that in future the word "pauper"
shall not be used in any of the boards

farmer, brought the matter forward.
Many respectable persons, he said, re-
quired relief through no fault of their
own, and the word was Objectionable
and cast undeserved stigma upon re-
ripients of relief and their children.
He suggested that the word poor"
should be substituted.

GOOD ADVERTISING
NOT A DIRECTORY
BY GEORGE S. sANTA.

Here's banker who says. I'VE have
been in business in this town for forty
years right on this same corner and
they all know where we are-we don't
need to advertise"
What the banker says is true. that
is the partSabout everyone knowing
where his institution is located Banks
quite generally do business of receiv-
ing deposits and of loaning money and
We may grant also that they all
know" this fact about this particular
| bank
But is that all that advertising can
do, simply give the name and loca-
tion and brief statement of what the
business is? You can get all of that
on 2X3 sign in big letters and too
many people beside the bankers think
that is all they have a right to give
in an advertisement. The public needs
to know these things, Of course. but
how long would manufacturer Of au-
tomobiles last if he merely told the
public in plain type his name and busi-
ness.
Absurd isn't it?
Advertising begins at this point.
Good advertising does not deal with
generalities common to all businesses
Of the same class but 1t takes out and
emphasizes those features which are
peculiar to the particular business ad-
vertised 1t sets forth what the Gus
toner or patron will find of value in
bringing to the advertiser the formers
custom or patronage. In other words.
advertising has a mission more pre-
tentious than that of being a mere
directory for the information of the
public.
The man who enters business nova
days with the conception that all he
needs to do to prosper is to tell his
friends where he Is located. should
continue his studies along the adver-
tising line. In the beginning be may
need to convey in his advertisements
such simple information as this but he
can put 1t down as a safe bet that ad
vertising will not cease to be useful
and valuable to him SO long as he con-
tinues to offer to his customers any
thing Of merit or any service Of parti-
cular and special interest.
