SHE WAS AN INVALID 5 YEARS
Expected to Die of Indigestion and Complications, But Poin- dexter's Tonic Restored Her to Health.

An Alabama woman. Mrs. J. B. Boskow- sky. of Helena, says "Poindexters Improved Tonic has been worth a dollar drop to me I was an invalid and had gradually grown weaker and weaker until I was ex- ,-etss. to die at any moment. suffering from chronic indigestion and other complications kidney and bladder troubles. The first dose of Poindexter's Tonic gave me derful relief. I can say that I will never be without it in my home. My best wishes for it's success and may God bless you for your wonderful medicine"
 Nothing but praise for Poindexter's Tonic from those who have used it. It invariably produces good results. especially in cases where the system is weak down. For Indigestion. Dyspepsia, Coughs and all forms of constitutional weakness it proves a blessing, doing away with that tired. slug gish feeling. You get vitality right from the very first dose. Try it. Your druggist can supply you. Refuse to accept any sub- stitute There is no medicine like 1t.

Shannon & Co.'S Letter

New York, August 19.-The market has the same unsettled tone as usual to- day and seems nothing more than bun dle of nerves laid bare. After opening rather steady selling was resumed and prices broke sharply. but apparently the early sellers were not satisfied with the way things went and when they turned to cover later found little for sale with the result that prices advanced rapidly
 Even if that proves true in the later season, however, it looks as if sellers were somewhat premature as the move ment will be very late this year. haVlnS hardly started as yet and a good many things could happen before the weight or the crop becomes unbearabie. At 'ah events it is seldom good policy to un- dertake the strength of the opposition We hardly think the advance is likely to go very far at the moment. unless shorts are more worried than there seems any good reason for them to be- but would not like to work in company with so many as there are or that side or the market. Exports today were 69Vo bales.-Post & Flagg.

THE VALLEY OF THE GIANTs'

Beautiful photography, thrilling story
 and a big star with excellent support are
 the combinations that go to make The
 Valley of the Giants" one of the screen
 successes of the season. showing this
 week at the Strand theatre.
 The picture is from the story by Peter
 B. Kyne, one of the greatest of modern
 writer's and Wallace Reid is the star
 MT Reid is known to thousands of movie fans as one of the best actors on the screen.
 The Valley of the Giants" is said to be one of the finest things MT. Kyne has ever done. It is a romance of an in- dustry in California. MT. Kyne writes of lumber and the big forests where . the largest trees in the world grow. The scenes taken in these redwood for
 ests are said to be among the most beau- tiful ever shown on the screen And the story is not simply one of money
 making. there is a tale of love through it.. A young man finds that his inheritance is threatened by the uncle of the girl he loves. To save his inheritance and the health of his father. who has wrested the fortune he is about to lose from the giant trees, he is compelled to incur the
 possible hatred Of his sweetheart. But he overcomes all of these obsta- ces and saves his inheritance and wins the girl.

Over W. I. rnelts & cc.'s wir.

New Orleans, August 19.-The technical strength of the cotton market gained through the recent persistent selling as serted itself today in strong bulges in the face of such adverse things as slumps to the lowest prices ever recorded in the foreign exchange market on both sterling and francs. Even the reported move- ment of American troops into Mexican territory was turned to bull account and much capital was made of President Wilson's appeal to Congress for a speedy ratification of the peace treaty
 The weather map showed considerable rains in the eastern belt which was not desired but good rains fell in the west ern belt. where drouthy, or semi-drouthy conditions have been prevailing. Bear sh feeling over the western rains was tempered by the fear that the moisture would increase insect damage It is more of a two-sided market than it has been and we expect current news to gov ern daily swings-Shepard Gluck

Merchant Assaulted
 and Robbed by Three
 Negroes at Littlet0n

Jim Chambris. a merchant of Little ton, was knocked unconscious last night about 9:S0 o'clock by three ne- groes and robbed of the entire con tents of his cash drawer. This inform ation was received about 10 o'clock last night at the county jail and depu- ties were at once sent to Littleton to investigate.
 Particulars of the rob bery are meagre but the information is that the negroes entered the store of Chambrs and one of them knocked him down and the others ransacked the cash drawer and made their escape.

 the recent advance After improving. our
 market sold off under local pressure and
 the weakness in foreign exchange. Trade
 buying for spinners account checked the decline and when the local short inter-
 ests tried to cover there was little for sale.
 Rumors of serious complications over the Mexican situation were current, and some buying was Induced on the ldea that if intervention took place our gov ernment would again be good buyers of 1 cotton goods. As matter of fact, the market was pretty well oversold, so that minor incidents of the day which mrght l otherwise have passed unnoticed or with | little effect on values, received more than usual attention, and quickly made l their influence felt in market where the technical position was quite short Hubbard Bros. & Co.

 There was more rain in eastern half or belt over night where excess Of rrofT''-- is complained of, but there were benefieidl rains in the southwest. especially m Texas and clearing weather is indicated for east of the Mississippi river. except showers along gulf coast
 The appeal of President Wilson is like 1v to make a profound impression in po- litical and financial circles will prob ably be productive of much good in re- storing Nonfdence. especially if his rec onmendation for an early ratification or the treaty meets with early favorable ac- ton by Congress since the blockage against Germany viii be lifted auto matically with the signing of the peace treaty
 If cotton goods are not included In the food bill, and if foreign exchange mar kets improve the cotton market Is ike lv to do better. as chances are that to- morrow's weekly weather and crop gov ernrnent report will probably be buliish as a whole.-H. & B. Beer.

Over Private Wires
W. E. Campbell & Co.'s Cotton Letter

The action of the market today con firms our expression of opinion on Sat urday, at which time we stated that we considered the short side of the mar ket dangerous below soc, as we eX- pected a good deal of trade buying at this level because the price of futures would then be below spots, which is not a healthy technical position for market to be in.
 The New Orleans market opened S points up this morning, but later sold down to the low of Monday, 296Oc, on the Associated Press news of the invasion oi Mexico by United States troops, the de- cline was short-lived, however, because the bulls took hold at this price ano the market went up over 100 points in a very short time closing around the high prices for the day. On any little setback tomorrow we advise our friends to buy cotton,-W E. Campbell & co.

6 R Stewart & Co.'s Letter

Messrs. John F. Clark & Co wired us
 today as follows:
 Today's market displayed more firm ness and resistance to selling pressure The opening was from 20 to 40 points higher, due in part to the better Liver pool cables, but mainly on the realiza- tion that trade interests are actively in at this level.
 Exports are still behind those of last year: so far this week 14.0o0 against 55, 00o bales. By Il a. m. the market had l declined about 70 points to about last close. when buying on better general news and bullish weather and l crop news checked the decline and with
 out notable reactions the market stead 1 fly advanced.
 l The advance in today's market might best be credited to a better technical position of cotton contracts, but reac' tions are probable until some definite bullish news develops which will sustain prices.-S R. Stewart & Co.
