about my eating. My/back and head
hurt me practically s1l the time.
"After using eveE kind of medi-
cine I could find Recommended for
these troubles without relief. I con-
suited the best physicians I could find,
They told me- nothing short of an
operation WOULD relieve me. In my
feeble condition l preferred death 10
an oper ration.
"AboH five months ago I vent to

mediately after my arrival she took
me to CoX's Drug Store and there

EMOTIONAL VALUE OF DAY
Christmas Spirit Almost Universally
Felt, But What 1t Is Remains a
Mystery to Many.

The emotional value of Christmas
may be said to be universally felt.
Something happens at Christmas that,
if only for day or two, does the
whole world good. What that some
thing is remains for many mystery
A number of persons who feel the
renewing impulse are like Faust when
the notes of the Easter song arrest
his suicidal intent; they take and en-
joy the moments deliverance and con.
tinue to regard the source of the boon
as nothing more than mythology made
potent through human associations.
Others are moved through supersti.
tious fears; they approach the great
season with consciences crowded with
uncomfortable memories; MaTley'a
ghost is after them, but, unlike
Scrooge, their new heart is only for
Christmas week. Another group sim
ply fall in with an ancient custom
and are surprised, and indeed pleased,
when the dry bones of their unbeliev,
ing minds come together, take on
flesh, and begin to live. A vast null
titude meet the great day with buoy.
ant expectation, take with thanks its
new happiness, return to their work
in this exalted mood, and ask no ques.
lions about cause and effect. A few
philosophize on the phenomenon, and
they are willing to stake their lives
on the substantial truth oTtheir in
sight.-George A. Gordon fin Atlantic

WALL STREET WAS MARKED BY AN
 EARLY BUOYANCY
Money and Foreign Exchange Were StabiIizing Influences All Day During the
 Trading Hours
Ny Associated Press

New York. November 23.-Buoy lncy marked the opening of today's trading on the stock exchange, but the market further improvement land sharp re- versal set in before noon.
 In the morning, leaders augmented recent recoveries by one to four points, executive operations in the long ac- count seemed to be well represented.
 General Motors was the most con- spicuous in it's delivery and strength, being directly traceable to over night reports that control of the company had passed to the Morgan-Dupont in> terests.
 According to. reports current in the financial district, the holdings of spec- ulative interests in other prominent in- dustrisl companies have been trans ferred by private settlement from weak to strong hands as a result of the se- were collapse of prices and shrink.tge of war profits.
 With the reversal, junior rails be- came the center of a concerted drive at reactions of one to six points, .,ith New Haven as the chief sufferer.
 Weakness of this group was attrib- utcd to the frank statements made be- fore the interstate commerce comnis- sion yesterday, in which it was de- clared that receiverships are inevitable unless these roads are permitted to make freight readjustm ments.
 Shippings, steels and equip nsnts cancelled their advances in large part, while the market was experiencing it's secondary reaction, losses exceeding gains at the irregular close. Sales amounted to 1,100,000 shares.
 Money and foreign exchange were stabilizing influences all day, call loans being made at the unusually low ra te of 5 per cent, while remittances to Lon don and continental Europe were steady when not firm
 Bonds tended mainly higher, all the Liberty and Victory issues, with one exception closing at gains. Total sales. par value, $15.300.0oo. Old U. s. 2s and 4s were half cent lower on call.

 NeW orleanS, La, Novemper y}.--Decit- ed strength was gained by cotton today on improved financial conditions, reports Of better feeling in the spot markets of the interior and heavy covering by shorts.
 In the early trading weakness was ab- parent for while mainly in sympathy with sharp and wide break in Liver pool and rumors of further spot liquida- ton but later on spot news became high- ly favorable. From net declines of 70 to 40 points the market reacted to net gains of 42 to 52 points, January trading as Low as 15.01 and as high as 15.90. The close showed net advances of 3S to 4G points with January at 15.S4
 Early declines were prolonged by sell ing on this side of the water for EngKh account and the dry weather over the belt brought in offerings on the theory
 Clean rice quiet; sales, Honduras l,5n ginning. Points in the western belt com menced to wire in that the spot situation was improving and finally there were telegrams to the same effect from the eastern belt.
 Easier money rates were regarded by most traders as one of the most import ant developments in recent months ani they stimulated good character of buy ing almost from the start.

WHEAT MARKET TAKES
 UPWARD SWING FOR FIRST
 TIME IN MORE THAN WEEK
By Associated Press

SHicdSo, november 23.-For the first time in more than week the wheat market today closed at an advance. Brisk export demand together with as- sertions that liquidations were at an end had much to do with the strength shown. The finish was nervous S15 to 3 cents higher with December 16SdA and March 1-631x@1.64. Corn gained 2ss@31s. oats 17A&15S to 2ss and provisions 2s to T cents.
 Buying of wheat near the end of the session was greatly accelerated by a report that Julius Barnes, former na- tional wheat director had expressed an otinonal that prices were at bottom Ths complete report of the. remarks by Mir. Barnes showed they we're along optimis- tic lines in which he said he was not a bull. Entirely aside from the Barnes incident. considerable change in senti- ment among traders was evident from the outset
 brisk and that millers were easier and sterling exchange rising. Sethacks in prices, although sharp at times, were brief and after the close it was estima.- ed that sales to Europe totalled 1,50O, 900 bushels. about half the amount do- nestle grown.
 Corn and oats were hoisted by the strength of wheat. Shorts, including some of the most aggressive recent sell CTS, bought freely.
 Packers buying turned the provision market upward, notwithstanding that at first weaknes prevailed owing to big breaks in the value of hogs.

relations between Harding and Suther- land were cordial. even intimate. at a time both were serving as United States senators. Harding is reported to have spoken of Senator Sutherland as in his view the ablest constitutional law yer in the United States Senate. This however, was said before Senator Hard ing was nominated for the presidency The lawyers of the United States who have had Knowledge of Senator Suther- lands professional career agrgee with MT. Harding in his estimate of Suther- lands ability.
 There may be political reasons from the view point of geography why Hard ing would turn to the IA- west for his Secretary of State. At all events the opinion is held here by republicans, es- pecially by those who have been in close touch with the republican na- tional organization, that Harding may deem it the wiser part to take if he were to ask Senator Sutherland to en : ter the cabinet as Secretary of State. The state department and the treasury department are the keystones of the cabinet construction. When these have been decided upon other cabinet mak- ing will be comparatively easy.
 MIR. ROOT AS AMBASSADOR
 MT. Roots friends in this city are persuaded that if he should be asked to accept the appointment as ambassador to the court of St. James, he would not hesitate long about accepting. He Is regarded as especially qualified for that post. His acquaintance with the leading minds of Great Britain is per haps not surpassed by any other Amer ican. He wuold find life in London agreeable. His fortune is sufficient tt make it possible for him to give little consideration to the comparatively small salary which the ambassador to Great Britain receives.
 It is the understanding that should the New York republican organization be invited to suggest to the President, elect an appointment which would mest the high approval of that organization then Senator Harding will be informed thatsif he were to name Elihu Root as ambassador to the court of St. James with that appointment, the republican organization would be content asking nothing more. Were Mir. Root to rep. resent this country at the court of St James and ex-Governor Myron T. Her. rick return to France as ambassador there to take up work which he lef unfinished whan his successor as am. bassador was appointed by Presiden Wilson, then it is certain that tn, country will be satisfied, knowing tha 1t is represented at these two importan courts by very able Americans whs would be surely welcomed by Grea Britain and by France.

Daily Financial Gossip
By HOLLAND


 New York, November 2s.-(specialO- O- From Washington come reports that the belief prevails there that Elihu Root will be nominated by MT. Harding within few hours after his inaugura- tion for the state department portfolio, This Is not the opinion which is com monly held by republican leaders in New York, city and state. They will be astonished if MT. Root is again at the desk of Secretary of State. They base their opinion upon Mir. Roots own att titude towards the suggestion that he the Union LAgue club of this city will be found the best information respect ing Mir. Roots political future. His warm friends in that organization say that it is very doubtful whether he could be persuaded to accept the offer of the state department even though President Harding were to write him to become a member of the cabinet. The reasons given for this view arc first of all that MT. Root feels that he should not be called upon again to serve in executive capacity. Twice a member of the cabinet, once as Secre- tary Of War, and one as Secretary of State, he performed that service at a good deal of personal sacrifice. He gladly accepted the opportunity to pass from the state department and it's com plications and certain forms or drudg- cry to the United States Senate.
 So also it is understood that there are domestic reasons which Mir Root ~feels that he cannot disregard His family did not find life in Washington as congenial or pleasant as the families of some others seem to have done.
 It may be that such pressure will be brought upon MT. Root by Harding as would cause Root to waver Once be- fore pressure of this kind was brought to bear upon him by President Roose- welt. After the death of John Hay Roosevelt's thought immediately turned to Elihu Root as his successor as Sec- retary of State. Mr. Root preferred not again to go to Washington even in high executive service. But Roosevelt pleaded with him and it is not often that private citizen is so strongly urged to enter the cabinet or SC reluctantly accepts an invitation to dc that as was the case when MT. Root finally yielded to Roosevelt's irresisti- ble pressure
