Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, March 9.-our market failed to follow the decline in Liver pool this morning. there being suffi- cient buying orders from Wall street and the south to not only prevent decline, but cause temporary ad- vance. Two factors contributed to these buying orders, one bein gthe rains in Texas, which it was felt would de- lay crop preparations, and the other the strong securities market, following the government decisions on the rail- roads and stock dividends announced yesterday by the supreme court. On the advance considerably more hedge selling appeared in the market than has been noticeable for some little time, which filled up tho demand, and as local traders had been free buyers early. they found difficulty in liqui- dating when tho market eased. It is also reported that some 2,500 bales have been started for this market from Norfolk for delivery against March con- tracts This caused a relatively easier feeling in the near positions. On the whole. the trade is inclined to await the development of the new crop be- fore taking any definite stand.-~Hub- bard Bros. & Co.

Wealth Cannot Buy Health or Youth!

All the gold and jewels in tho world will not buy back health. It may patch up the broken down ma chine and make it last . little longer but as an eminent physician recently said: "In the end the old machine wears outn.
 The body is the most wonderful machine in the world. It's perfec- tion is marvellous but like any deli- rately adjusted machine it needs in- tellgent care. Health is worth more than untold wealth.
 l It has been demonstrated posi- tively-that the human body is merely . collection of cells, and that health depends entirely upon tho red blood cells-that carry the oxygen, which is absolutely necessity to maintain human life. ] The cells of the body contain 12 different cell-salts-and the ab- sence of these salts causes disease tymptoms-just as lack, of water causes . plant to droop and die.
 These cell-salts attract and re- tain the oxygen, as it passes from the lungs into the blood, and re- pair, nourish, revitaiize and main tain the health of the cells.
 REOLO combines these 12 cell- salts 80 perfectly that they arc easily assimilated by the blood. It has remarkable tonic and recon structive qualities and furnishes to the blood the invigorating, organic iron-revitalizing, life-giving oxy- gen and reconstructive cell-salts that nature requires to maintain health. strength and energy.
 Don't neglect your health. It's easier to "keep well" than to "get wella-and much less expensive. If you are not feeling well-take the systematic REOLO Treatment that makes rich red blood vitalized with ife-giving oxygen and the cell- sa.rs that Nature must have to keeIs tho body strong and healthy.
