Women Enjoy as Much Latitude

as in Dresses.

Lace Garments Novelty and
Vogue of Season.

We may enjoy just as much latitude
in the choice of our wraps as in
dresses. Today, writes Paris fashion
correspondent, women do not follow
as blindly in fashions as they formerly
did. A few years ago two or three
styles took precedence over all others
each season; consequently we saw our
dresses, hats and wraps duplicated at
every turn. Now women refuse to ac-
cept a fashion unless they find it suit
able and becoming, and they absolute
~ demand a great deal from which to
choose. For this reason much more
is offered them.
The taffeta wrap for both daytime
and evening is very smart, but we see
quite as many satin coats and capes
shown by the leading designers and
worn by the best dressed women. While
nothing can ever take the place of the
good, substantial cloth wrap for gen.

II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it..
A prominent druggist says sTake for
example Dr.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a
preparation I have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large q
SALE"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
30 many people claim, that it fulflls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive a sample bottle OF
Swamp-Root by Parcels Post. Address

With Those Bats.

Two friends went for country holt

Taking OF the Lid

Wall Street and the country at large
are awaiting with great interest the re-
sumption Of trading in wheat futures.
Beginning next Thursday there will be
a free and open market for this i'm
portant commodity for the first time
in more than three years. Alfred W.
Mansfield, member of the Stock Ex-
change firm of Thomson & McKinnon,
who arrived here from Chicago, after
a swing through the great crop belt
of the Middle West. pointed out that
the opening Of the market means that
the American farmer in competition
with the wheat growers of Argentina,
Russia and other countries will get
the full benefit of whatever price the
world is willing to pay for bread. 81
expect to see broad and active mar
ket in wheat as soon as trading for
future delivery opens," said he, cas- we
are now facing the problem Of distrib-
uting crop that is considerably larger
than was expected few weeks ago.
At the present time it looks as though
the. wheat yield this season will be
about 800,000,000 bushels. To this we
must add 15O,000,O0O bushels carried
over from the crop harvested last
season. Deduct from this total 6OO,-
100000 bushels needed for home use,
and it will be found there is an ex-
portable surplus of about 25O,000 900
bushels after allowing for 100000, GOO
bushels carry-over into next session" !"

Improved Copper Conditions

There is said to have been consider
able accumulation of the copper stocks
within the last few days as result of
an improved trade outlook. The shad-
ing Of quotations few weeks ago by
small dealers is now said to have been
due to tight money conditions rather
than an oversupply Of the metal. These
interests, which had carload lots on
their hands, are reported to have sold
around II cents pound because they
were unable to realize needed cash in
any other way. The leading producers,
according to reliable reports, bought
most Of the copper thus sold, and are
holding it in the belief that the gen
eral market is in line for an increased
that it is difficult to obtain copper un-
der 10 cents and are sending their
agents out over the country to lay in
supplies of scrap.
New-York tribune., 1920-07-09
Financing the Crops

Financing the crops, in the opinion
OF Mr.. Mansfield, will give the banks
situation to cope with that may bring
on great strain "The conclusion that
we would draw" said Mr.. Mansfield in
this connection, "is that the farmer,
unless he is in very strong cash
position with his bank, will be unable
to t carry over this years production as
bank will not be able to give him ex-
tensions at this time such as it has
done in the past two years. This stu
alton no doubt will bring out a great
deal of selling Of cereals and un-
doubtedly force liquidation of other
commodities. The banking elements
will be very careful in extending
credits at primary markets on wheat
receipts, for the reason that they will
have actually to determine from the
future market as to the collateral
value of grain. During the last three
or four years on any paper carried
covering wheat the banks were secured.
