Never Hears The
Alarm Clock Now

His Sleep Is Sound and Refreshing
Since Taking Dreco, the Great Root
and Herb tonic
Il was terribly run down and in a
low nervous state; could not sleep,
had no appetite, and could smell nv
own foul BREATH" declared Mr.. w. A.
Beck, of Route A, Box S1s-B, Jack
sonville Fla.
MY liver was sluggish and I often
had giddy spells; bad taste In nv
mouth; coated tongue and spots float
ing before my eyes. My kidneys were
weak and had dull, aching pains in
my back. After each meal nv stom-
ach would begin to swell IN with
sour gas, and feel like it would
burst. Seemed like I was full OF
fire sometimes.
Il dreaded for night to come, be-
cause could not sleep, but would
roll ard toss firm one side Of the bed
to the other and when morning came
l would be more wor nout and tired
thau when I went to bed the night
before.
"Dreco has stopped all that though.
Even the alarm clock fails to awak-
en- me now for I'm sleeping so sound
The constitution Is entirely relieved.
Nervousness gone, and my liver Is
acting like a niece Of well-o'led ma.
ohtnery. I can't say enough in Praise
Of this great remedy D-ero"

Quoting a series Of meeting at Tampa,
will preach in Barlow on next Sun
day morning, April 9Th, at 10:30
sharp. Rev. Sunday is an evangelist

tiers and their families. If there are
any who cannot get seats, they can
hear and see from the school building
windows on both floors.
This will be great day for Barlow,
and it is hoped that every seat will
be occupied. Come out and hear the
great evangelist. Everybody is vel
come, and you will hear message
that will be remembered long.
The churches of the city will be
closed Sunday morning, SO that their
members may hear the noted divine
The expense of providing seats will

STOCK TRADING Dull,
PRICES REACT|ONARY

NEW YORK, December 1S.-Rails
were lower by fractions to u points
at the opening of today's stock mar
ket, as n result of the attitude or the
labor organizations toward govern
ment control of the transportation
lines.
The reaction in rails probably &C
counted for the heaviness of other
leaders, especially General Motors
Crucible Steel and active industrials
generally.
Oils were cratic. Mexican Petroleum
displaying strength. while Texas COM
pany reacted sharply. PRESSURE
against United States Steel con-
tributed to the further irregularity OF
the list within the first half hour.
Further unsettlement was created
dcring the early period by an abruPt
break in British exchange. whlch Iell
cents under yesterdays final quota
ton.
Rails continued to lose ground low
priced issues falling l to points with
standard shares.
Reactions among oils, motors and
steels also increased, the break In
Texas Company extending to 10 polnts'
Shippings equipments, feathers. to-
baccos and food shares fell l to 2%
points.
The market d~~erop,e firmer tone
at noon, shorts covering on the per
cent rate for call money.
