help from it's abundance. In the name
of humanity let us stir the people to

COTTON MARKET OPEN
Has Been Closed Since July 81 Owing
to the War.

New York, Nov. 1.-THE New York
cotton exchange reopened for unre-
stricted trading at 10 o'clock this
morning. 1t had been closed since
July 81. when the market went into
commissions and three firms failed
through the decentralization created by
impending war in Europe.
The floor of the exchange was
thrOnged with brokers when the gong
sounded. During The first few minutes
trading was exceedingly brisk and
somewhat nervous. There was some
little confusion because of unfamiliar
ity with the new s1vle contract and the
new rules imposed on the market by
the operation of the socalled cotton
future law. Ea.ly trading was con-
fined almost entirely to December cot
ton sold on old style contract
The market opened at 745 cents and
dropped quickly to $50. low level
OF 739 was reached in the first half
hour. The market then grew steady
and the nervous tone departed. At the
end of the first helf hour trading ap-
peared to be normal and the number
of brokers on the floor had dwindled
to the usual size. Prices were ap-
proximately three cents below what
they were when the exchange closed
on July 81. January sold at IT'S to
1855; March at 1855 to 1888; May at $40
to 812 and October at $40 to $50. All
on new style contracts.
Wall street brokers, inactive because
of the darkened stock exchange, were
interested spectators. A sprinkling OF
other spectators, friends and families
OF cotton brokers were in the gallery

IF KIDNEYS
AND BLADDER
BOTHER
Take = glass Of Salts to flush out your
Kidneys and neutralize irri-
tating acids.

Kidney and BLADDER weakness re-
suit from uric acid, says a noted au-
thority. The kidneys filter this acid
from the blood and passes it on to the
bladder, where it often remains to ir-
ritate and inf1ame. causing a burning,
scalding sensation, or setting up an ir-
ritation at the neck Of the bladder,
obliging you to seek relief two or
three times during the night. The
sufferer in constant dread, the
water passes sometimes with a scald-
ing sensation and is very profuse;
again. there Is difficulty in avoiding it.
Bladder weakness. most folks call
1t. because they can't control urina-
ton. While it is extremely annoy
ing and sometimes very painful, this
is really one Of the most simple all
ments to overcome. Get about four
ounces of Jad Salts from youth phar-
macist and take a tablespoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast, con-
tinue this for two or three days. This
will neutral:.e the acids in the urine
so 1t no longer is a cource OF irrita-
ton to the bladder and urinary or
gans which then act normally again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive. harmless,
and is made from the cid of grapes
and lemon juice. combined with lithia,
and Is used by thousands Of folks who
are subject to urinary disorders
caused by uric acid irritation. Jad
salts is splendid for kidneys and
causes no bad effects whatever.
Here you I'VE pleasant, efferves-
cent Whitewater drink. which quickly
relieves bladder trouble.-Adv.
