A WONDERFUL ANTISEPTIC

Germs and infection ~aggravate all
ments and retard healing. Stop that
infection at once. Kill the germs and
get rid of the poisons. For this pur-
pose a single application of Sloan's
Liniment not only kills the pain but
destroys the germs. This neutralizes
infection and gives nature assistance
by overcoming congestion and gives
a chance for the free and normal
flow of the blood. Sloan's Liniment
is an emergency doctor and should be
kept constantly on hand. Csc, SOC.
The $1.00 size contains six times as
much as the Csc.

TRADE IS EXTENDING.
Stimulated by Better Weather and
Approach of Easter.

New York, March 27.-Bradstreet's
says ''Distributive trade has extend
ed in the northern half of the coun-
try this week, the stimulating features
being better weather and the near ap-
proach of Easter. In addition senti-
ment as to the outlook has been bene-
fitted by slight speeding up of man
ufacturing industries and enlarged
speculation, at higher prices, in cot
ton and securities. War order bust
ness still remains the strong point of
the entire situation. The great basic
facts of soil and crop conditions favor
the growing of large crops in this
country the coming year. Prices of
all agricultural products except cot
ton are still f1attering.
1.-The reports as to employment are
rather better than of late Building
shows more signs of life, though
gradual improvement only is report
able and lumber stays depressed
There is more life visible in the
cotton goods industry, a reflection
partly of the sharp advances in the
raw material; wash fabrics have sold
quite freely for summer wear; wool
and woolens seem quieter, and there
is better feeling voiced by official OBJ
servers in the silk trade. Bank clear
ings for the week aggregate s2,S92,-
223, 900. decrease of ga per cent
from last week and SO from the cor
responding week last year.
