NEW YORK, January 16.-With the ex-
ception of October, which opened four
points lower on account of Liverpool sell

8 points higher today on scattered cover
ing but shortly afterward developed much
weakness under liquidation and increased
bear pressure. March broke to 1904 and
May to 3O.5S. representing 20 to 80 points

a subsequent rally of about 20 points.

point range occurred in the late fore
noon and at midday, with March SELL
ing down to 3092 and May to 30.57, or
80 to 33 points under the previous
night. Increased pessimism over the
fuel outlook was responsible for most
of the selling, a good deal Of which
came from Wall street and local bears.
Southern spot advices were firm with
the exception of low grades. which
were offered more freely.
NEW ORLEANS, January ia rise
Of to IA points opened the trading in
cotton here today, but the improvement
did not last long. Liquidation from the

is to keep the system clean by Kidding
the body of the toxins, or poisons, which

feel tired, sleepy, headachy, when your
breath is offensive, or pimples appear
on the face and neck, it is time to recog-
nize the danger and protect your bodily
health by taking something for the liver
such as DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets.
The machinery Of the body needs to
be oiled, kept in good condition, just as
the guns or machinery of a ship. Why
should human person neglect his own
machinery more than that of his auto

WOMEN SUFFERERS MAY
NEED SWAMP ROOT

Thousands upon thousands of women
have kidney and bladder trouble and
never suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in healthy
condition, they may cause the other or
gans to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss of am
bition, nervousness, are often times symp.
toms of kidney trouble.
Don's delay starting treatment. DR..
Kilmers' Swamp Root, a physicians pre-.
scription, obtained at any drug store, may
be just the remedy needed to overcome
such conditions.
Get medium or large size bottle I'm
mediately from any drug store.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DE-
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for 9

Our Teachers, influence. )

1t Is amusing what things we remem-
Der from our own teachers: from one,
an anecdote; from another, scrap OF
information; from another, point of
view; from another, conviction; and
sad to relate, from many, nothing.
They talked to us, let their personali-
ties play upon us, advised us, scolded,
bored, cajoled. Undoubtedly, the sum
of their influence went to make us diff
ferent from what we should have been
without it; yet often the last thing we
remember about them is the facts they
taught us. The enc who made US work
hardest may be the least remembered,
and the one through whose classes we
dozed and dreamed may be speaking to
us clearly still.-Robert NJ. Gay, in the

Says DOdd's Kidney pais,
Wonderful Remedy

Mrs Della Olson. of New London, Wis,
like many others, knows after experience
Ing the use of Dodd's Kidney Pills that
they are unexcelled. Here is what Mrs.
Olson recently wrote US:

There was gravel deposit in the urine
and l had frequent headaches. / had
dark circles around my eyes and was al
ways tired. / bought box of your Dodd's
Kidney Pills and am glad I did, for / Sc

Mighty few people realize In time that
kidney trouble is making its advances up-
on their health. They put off treatment
they say, "Oh, I'll be all right In day or
two" And the malady tightens its grip.

2O6 DIVISIONS ON
WESTERN FROM 7
Since MARCH Fl.
OF These, 126 Have Actu-
ally Been Engaged in
Big Battle,

London, May 1S.-The most def
mite flgures yet announced regarding
German losses on the western front
this spring have been given to The
Associated Press. Since the begin
ming of the offensive on March 21, 206
German divisions have been on the
western 'front.'. OF which 128 actually
have been engaged on the somme
and Armentieres fronts.
The 208th German division, which
was one of those suffering most
heavily, lost 20 per cent of its eff
fectivesA Seven other German divi-
sions are known to have lost more
than SO per cent and at least seven
other divisions are named as having
lost 40 to so per cent.
Only 40 men to the compsny We're
left in the 18th division after the
fighting OF March % and 2S. The
1st division was in similar straits
after, reaching Sally -Laurette con
March %. and the 234th division was
weakened similarly on April 8. One
regiment or the bOurCn <z-HE saLas ulVA-
sion virtually was annihilated on
April 8, and there are scores of in

which disappeared almost complete
1y
While it is impossible 10 make any
exact estimate OF the total German
losses. 1T is sufficiently evident that
the enemy casualties have been ex-#
ceedingly heavy. One evidence of
this fact is that the Germans, after
calling upon all available reserve de-
pots in the western area, have al~i
ready been compelled to draft into
crippled divisions men drawn from
Germany itself, including those OF
the 1920 class. From this lit may be
concluded that the demand for men
to replace losses has been greater
than reserve centers could supply
