The subject of giving such sup

Secretary McAdoo, to purchase bonds
in the open market when IL might
seem that such action would be eff
fectual. Secretary McAdoo also APP

purchases and sales must be made
The bonds are not dealt in on the ex-
changes. Bankers and brokers are
licensed under pledge not. to deal in
! the bonds except through the COM
mittee. The dealers receive a COM
mission on buying orders, but none
on selling orders. The committee
has the power to restrict sales IL
offerings appear unwa. .snted. Price
of the victory bonds has gradually
advanced under this system ard the
bonds are selling above the subscrip-

all its own expenses and all brokers'
commissions
This is all somewhat artificial but
the conditions justify it. Conditions
here also justify some such manage

NEW YORK, October e6.-Although
the money situation dominated the
course of this weeks securities mar
ket to a considerable extent, the trend
Of prices indicated an increasing dis
position on the part Of leading finan-
cial interests as well as traders and
the speculative fraternity to discount
peace.
The action of the local money COM
mittee in recommending an increase
of bank margins on loans was every
where hailed with satisfaction, but
created only moderate unsettlement
in the stock market.
Payment of the first installment Of
10 per cent on the fourth liberty loan
caused not the slightest furry in the
money market, call rates remaining
undisturbed, while some increase Of
time funds was reported.
Postwar Adjustments Discussed
The attitude of the country's fore
most financial authorities is set forth
in the reviews of the mercantile
agencies. which refer at length to
postwar adjustments in many lines
of trade. Important steps to that
end have already been taken by the
executives of many banking and in
dustrial institutions, who look for the
early collapse of the central powers.

times the chief sustaining feature OF

The cotton plant, upon which the
world depends so largely for clothing,

by makers of high grade soap, now

The annual value of cotton seed
products is placed at S250,0000O0, one
half the output being used for food.
Farmers are now receiving $40 to $50

The yearly crop is about 100000

OLD PRESCRIPTION
FOR WEAK KIDNEYS

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
Of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfil
the promises of the manufacturer This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of il.
A prominent druggist says, Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a
preparation / have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy that know Of
has so large sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of Dr.
Kilmers' Swamp-Root is due to the fact
that, so many people claim, it fulfls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments, corrects ur-
mary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive . sample bottle of
Swamp Root by Parcel Post. Address
DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, n. Y, and
enclose ten cents; also mention this paper.

Few Senators Present to
Hear the 0pering Prayer

Some time ago, when the archbishop
Of York, primate of England. was in
Washington he prayed at the opening
Of session of the senate. Most of
the senators were present. They all
listened devoutly and attentively and
when the archbishop wound up with
the Lords prayer they joined in with
him. There is nothing very extraor-
binary or striking about this incident
until il is considered In connection
with the attendance of the senators
on ordinary occasions when prayer is
offered in the senate chamber. Often
there are only handful of senators
and few youthful pages present. On
one occasion only one senator and a
few pages were on hand when the
opening invocation was delivered
