 Vitalitas Man

Any one who has discovered some new use for liquid Ntalitas is earnestly re- quested to report same Such will be in the interest of humanity, for thousands of people/are daily employing this strange liquid for the relief and cure of human ills
 There is still much to learn about Vi- talitas, notwithstanding 1t has been used by multtudes of people every day for the past two years. 1t has been demonstrat ed beyond question to be the most wonderful product of nature for strengthening the weak and aged and for the relief and cure Of ills of stomach, liver kidneys bowels and blood. So many marvellous re- ports are constantly heard of it's effec- tiveness that it may justly be classed the greatest known curative force of nature There is still from time to tme some entirely new use for it cropping out When such discoveries made it will be an act of public good to make report of them.
 People who are in doubt at any time upon any points regarding Nitalitas should consult a Nitalitas authority The more that is known about Nitalitas the sooner will its use become universal in the home of people in all walks of life

RED CROSS NURSES BACK FROM SERV|A Dr. Hodge of Knoxville Ex- plains the Need There of
 Skillful Nurses

New York July 1S.-Ten Americans, Red Cross nurses. relieved from duty after service in Servia, were landed from Sir Thomas Lipton's yacht, Erin, at Malta to help care for wounded of the allies armies brought there from the Darda- nelles, said Dr. S. H. Hodge of Knoxville, Red Cross surgeon. who arrived today on the Cymrlc from Liverpool.
 The nurses landed. Dr. Hodge said after military officials of the port appealed to Sir Thomas, setting forth that they were short of medical assistance The American nurses had accepted Sir Thom- as offer to go to England while his yacht was at Salonki. Several of them had just recovered from typhus.
 ''So evident was the need for skilled nurses" said Dr. Hodge, that the nurses, despite the fact that they had just served through a trying siege of typhus. volun- teered to go ashore and remain as long as they were needed. l also offered my ser vices, but was informed that there were sufficient surgeons. Sir Thomas offered to send his yatcht for them when they were ready to continue their journey to England
 Dr. Hodge declared the typhus situa- tion in Servia now was well in hand.

THE FINANCIAL SITUATION

New York, July 1S.-A partial check to foreign liquidation, owing to closing of the British war loan subscription, opened the way to last week stock market recov- cry. The influence of the favorable trade and financial position then reas- serted itself.
 Munition stocks were increa easingly ac- tive. Bethlehem steel and crucible steel were most conspicuous. United States Steel supplied more effective leadership, however, selling at a higher price than early in June when the federal court handed down it's anti-dissolution decree.
 Decrease in freight car surplus must allow for the fact that replacement of new cars Is scanty. June's high record consumption of 5l4. 800 bales of cotton by American mills was an item in the indus trial news.
 A belief that the German note af- forded a basis for further excnanges created a good impression News of the Orduna incident came too late to effect

 In Southern Poland Field Marshal Won Mackenzen again is on the move and claims to have captured Russians advanced positions which stood between him and his objective, the Lublin- Cholm railway.
 Simultaneously with these attacks, which are the main ones, the Austro- German armies are on the offensive west of the Vistula river, in Genital Poland, and along the Dniester river in Galicia. As was the case in the drive through western Galicia, the Russians are fighting stubbornly. But whether they can hold their lines is proble- matical.

WEEKLY COTTON REVIEW

New Orleans, July 1s.-A stiff re- action from the long decline was brought about in the cotton market last week, partly by the efforts of bulls, who worked on the technical strength which has been displayed for sometime and partly by the eagerness of shorts for their profits. The low point of the decline was reached Monday. Heavy buying followed the break into fresh low ground and the buying wave sc- quired momentum as the week pro gressed. eliminating in sharp bulge late in the session Friday. At the high est of the week prices were 61 to 66 points over last weeks last quotations. The close was at net gain of 54 to 5S points.

 T do not condemn the principle of the right to hire and fire Men should be free :n their contractural opera tions to make and break contracts. but contracts should be made legal or else barred from consideration in estimating the market value of a mans service, and contracts, where broken. should be liable for iudg- ment as to damages that would naturally accrue. In other words, you can have the right to make any legal contract you want. and you can break any contract. legal and illegal, as long as you are held responsible for damages resulting. If this isn't right, what is the use of the vast legal libraries we have on contract laws?"
