ing that i would have been reason
able To expect. Losses have been sus-
tanned. to be sure. but not great
enough to absorb the huge profits
made during the war. so that there is
nothing tragical in them. Probably the
farmers have been hardest hit, but
when one considers that the de-
cline i'm the prices Of their products
has been offset to some degree by in
creased harVests, and also that the
purchasing power Of the money they
get for their product is greater now
than il was when they were getting
higher prices, even their situation is
far from being tragical There is
some unemployment and there have
been some cases Of reduced wages
for those who have been kept en-
ployed. But these are unavoidable
consequences, however, painful they
may be to those who suffer them.
Ii would have been fatuous to sup
pose that the conditions of commerce
and industry wrought by the greatest
war of all time could be readjusted
to the requirements of peace without
incurring such consequences. The
fact is we may be made to pay
much larger price. than we have so
far to bring down values to just re-
lations and a solid basis, and still
be without reason to complain. 1t
will keep the world steadily at work
for a long time to restore what the
war destroyed, and that assures a
demand for labor and for all that our
farms can produce. This fact consti-
tutes what the federal reserve board
characterizes as the Inherent
strength" of the situation, and jus
titles its opinion that we shall "at-
tain a position Of relative stability
through an orderly transition" There
is occasion for conservation, but none
for pessimism.

THE COTTON SITUATION :.


tRy Henry Clews and Company
The seriousness of the situation
created by the English coal miners
strike and the possibility OF ii spread
ing to other industries has been the
principal influence against any inn
provement in the cotton market. The
threatening stand of the British rail-
way workers only added to the compi-
cations of the issue which will prob
ably be drawn between the workers
and the government. General condi-
tions i'm the cotton trade and all the
allied industries are still in an unset
tied state. with a disposition on the
part of the manufacturers to wait
for further developments in the labor
political and industrial outlook here
and in Europe before buying more
freely of raw material. Under these
conditions trading naturally has been
characterized by great irregularity,
with the south selling on all rallies as
hedge against unsold cotton, the
trade in addition to the local specu-
Iative element absorbing offerings
which checked a further decline.
Generally favorable conditions Tor
picking and ginning continue, except
where rain caused some interruption
in Central Texas, Oklahoma and west
ern Arkansas. With the favorable in
fluence of moderate temperatures cot
ton bolls opened rapidly and the pros
poets for the crop are now more
promising in oklahoma, Texas and
Georgia than they have been but in
South Carolina and Tennessee the late
gatherings are somewhat disappont-
ing. Picking is reported about COM
pleted in the southern half Of Texas,
lower Louisiana and southern Missis'
sippi. The ideal weather conditions
that have prevailed over the cotton
belt during the past four weeks were
v!tally necessary for the full develop
ment of the plants on account OF the
late start in the spring, especially
along the northern section where a
fun Weld now seems probable. TAX
ing the present crop situation as a
whole the unusually favorable fall
and the absence of frost practically
assures an ample supply, sufficient

Portable surplus, unless the. consump-
tive demand should show a material
increase during The balance of the
season.
The sharp decline in commodity
prices, principally in wheat, corn,
oats and cotton. is the basis for the
improved prospects for easing up the
credit strain. The peak in money re-
qulrements has now been passed and

warning that the directors will not

in tightening the accumulation of cot
ton now held back in the south. AS a
result of the holding movement and
the unfavorable foreign labor trou-
bles only a moderate spot business
is doing and generally at further price
concessions. In the southwest a con-
siderable proportion of the crop is
reported as having been sold before
the competition from the Atlantic
states set in. 1t is generally believed
that if prices should work up to Il
higher basis increased spot offerings
can be expected from the eastern sec
ton of the belt where the receipts
from plantations are now running on
q liberal scale. There are no posi-
| tive indications of an Improvement
in the dry goods markets, although
the same hopeful sentiment that has
heretofore followed every price re-
duction again prevails. The expecta-
tions for increased buying are now
based on new drastic reductions eff

The unique effects

One ingredient Of Pepsodent is pepsin. An
other multiplies the starch digestant in the
saliva to digest starch deposits that cling The
alkalinity Of the saliva is multiplied also. That
to neutralize the acids which cause tooth decay.
Two factors directly attack the film. One of
them keeps teeth SO highly polished that film
cannot easily adhere
The Pepsodent effects come with every ap-
plication. Day by day they fight the teeth's
great enemies And teeth are protected as
they never were before.

the price concessions that the mills
have established, with the object ot
greater distribution of manuiac-
tured cotton goods.
Many mills are said to be working
without profits. when they work at
all. and others have closed and VIII
remain idle until they can see some
indication of an end To the decline IN
cotton and goods. Yarns have be-
come cheap enough to attract puy-
ers and numerous inquiries lead TO
the belief that increased buying Tor
actual consumption is not far OIL
Weavers claim that cheap yarns are
necessary in order to meet the current
low prices for finished goods. Al
though most small dealers are hold
ing out for still lower prices, large
retailers now propose to take advan-
tage of some of the low prices, ana

offer staple cotton fabrics to the
public for the holiday trade at spe.
cial buying inducements. Present
indications in the retail trade are that
the public will buy when they be-
| leve prices are on Il parity with the
wholesome reductions. For the pres
ent the developments in the British
coal strike will supercede all o.her
issues as market factor, but this Is
likely to prove of temporary nature
as the magnitude of the trouble
which threatens all the industries OF
Great Britain would seem to initiate
against prolonged lockout. Aside
from the huge coal strike there are
no great changes or new develop
ments in the situation, with southern
holders still determined to hold Off
for higher prices and manufacturers
at the same time persistently follow
ing the policy Of buying for require
ments only. With respect to the
market there are more indications
that better support will now develop
on sharp breaks. while on the other
hand. if prices should advance TO
the neighborhood of the 20 cent level
in any of the southern markets
portion at least of the cotton held
back would be released.

Film--the great enemy

But this is more than beauty question. Film
ruins millions of teeth. Most tooth troubles are
now traced to it.
Film is that viscous coat you feel. Il clings
to teeth, enters crevices and stays. The ordi-
nary tooth paste cannot end it, SO the tooth
brush has left much Of it intact.
It is the flm-coat that discolors, not the teeth
Film is the basis of tartar. II hclds food sub
stance which ferments and forms acid. 1t
holds the acid in contact with the teeth to
cause decay.
Millions of germs breed in It. They, with
tartar, are the chief cause of pyorrhea. All
these troubles have been constantly increasing,
because brushing failed to end that film.
