Many Thousands Report Their Ruptures
Men, W.men and Children All Ages-Au Walks Of Life
The New Improved Brooks App|ian'
Proves Itself by Far the Greatest Invention the Age for the Treatment
Retention Of Rupture. An Entirely New Principle. Nothing Like ru

If you are wearing steel or hard rubber spring
truss, elastic with hard pad, you are not only
suffering unnecessary inconvenience and discomfort
but you are also making it almost impossible for
your rupture to ever grow smaller or heal
And if you have a rupture on one side only and
are wearing an od-fashioned spring truss, you will
almost surely develop another rupture on the other
side.
These are facts that EVERY RUPTURED
PERSON SHOULD KNOW, and that can easily be
verified by asking any physician in the country who
treats rupture.
The BROOKS APPLIANCE is the ONLY meth
cd of FIRMLY HOLDING RUPTURE-NO
MATTER WHAT POSITION YOU MAY BE IN
OR HOW STRENUOUS YOUR WORK MAY BE.
The BROOKS APPLIANCE has no springs,
either metal or hard rubber Ithas no hard pad but
uses soft, automatic air cushion made Of rubber
and yielding to the slightest touch. This cushion
clings firmly to the place of rupture-not because
of great pressure Gas in truss, but because of its
shape and the manner nwhich it is held to the body
The Appliance weighs but few ounces and is so
small that tight fitting evening clothes give no
indication of its being worn.
Every BROOKS APPLIANCE is MADE TO
ORDER FROM THE CUSTOMERS MEASURE
MENTS, AND 1T is SOLD TO YOU ON FREE
TRIAL, WITH INSTRUCTIONS TO RETURN 1T
If YOU DO NOT FIND 1T EVERYTHING YOU
COULD WISH IN PERFECTION AS A SUPPORT
FOR RUPTURE.
YET THE PRICE is MUCH LESS THAN ANY
TRUSS" OR OTHER DEVICE YOU EVER
BOUGHT.
No matter where you were fitted on who advised
your present truss the chances are 10 out of 20 that
you would be MORE COMFORTABLE AND
BETTER OFF IN EVERY WAY if you were
wearing BROOKS ApPT lance
In addition to GUARANTEEING YOU PER-
Feet COMFORT, THE BROOKS APPLIANCE
ACCOMPLlSHES THE LARGEST NUMBER

.M'ADOO TO GO
 BEFORE SENATE
fcantInued From Paaa n

nations of Silas Fl. Strawn and Atlee Pomerene are taken up by the public lands committee. Senator Dill, demo- crat, of Washington, will ask that pub. lie hearings be held on the appointees and Mill submit a list of witnesses that he wants called to testify.
 Dill opposes the twS men on the ground that they have "big business connections, though finding no objec- tion to them as lawyers. Failure in the prosecutions, he said, would lead to a belief by the public that the investiga ton was stacked" He favors the ap- pointment of a different type of inves- tigators.
 Further sensations in the investiga- tion of the oil leases will come next week. Among a number of witnesses who have been subpoenaed are John c. Shaefer, a publisher of Denver, and Chicago, and a rival editor of Frederick G. Bonfils, who had admitted a S1,0O0,- 900 contract with Sinclair for certain sections of the Teapot Dome reserves John T.

THYSSEN PREDICTS BUSINESS PARALYSIS
Says Belgian-Freneh Agreement
 Burdens Occupied Area

PARIS, Feb. 10.--Fritz Thyssen, the German industtialist. predicts gen eral shutdown of all industries in the occupied regions of Germany If present conditions continue, according to an interview published in the Crefelder Zeituns, says dispatch to the Havas agency from Duesseldorf The mining industry is particularly burdened by the Franco Belgium. agreement, Thys- sen is reported as having said, and with France and Belgium, whose prod ucts are produced at a lower cost and, according to the treaty of Versailles, are permitted to enter Germany with out duty.
 He said the Germans had been com pelled to seek large credits and these have been granted them to such large extent by foreigners that there is justi- fication for the fear that, sooner of later, foreigners will become so heavily interested in German industry that it will simply pass into their control
 Unless conditions were improved and relief granted. Thyssen declared, lon account of general cessation of work in all the industries" time to catch their breath and rehabilitate their fi- nances, according to Thyssen, must be given industry. "Industry's resources" he added, "are being strained beyond their strength" The Reichstag is also committing the error of trying to i'm pose excessive taxes on commerce and industry.

COTTON CLOSES AT
 DECLINE SATURDAY
Highest Values Of Week Regis
 tered In Early Sessions

NEW ORLEANS, Fob. io.--The early sessions of last week brought advances to cotton, whtfe the latter sessions brought declines, the market finally closing at net losses of s6 to es points. At the highest, the trading months were 3s to 66 points over the close of the preceding. week. while at the lowest they were II to 1as points under, Ffuc- tuatfons were within range of 100 to 402 points. March rose to 31.71c, fell to 32.e6c and closed at 33.6lc; October rose to 2s.2lc. fell to 27.16c and closed 27.61c. In the spot department, mid ding lost 37 points in the net results, closing at 3s.6sc, against 28c on the close of this week last year.
 In the early part of the week a on claims of much more inquiry in the cotton goods markets of this country, but as the week progressed it was seen that bids for cloths were, for the most part, under the market and were not resulting in, any material increase in business, prices fell off. Heaviestl sell ing followed estlmates that total suies of print cloths in Fall River for the week were not above 60,000 pieces, against 100000 the preceding week.
 The weather continued eoid most of the week, and some sections of the cotton region reported inoisture that was unweicome. Opinion regarding the new crop outlook was mixed. because, while it was conceded wet weather was retarding farm work. 1t was also argued that cold and wet weather was putting the best season in years into the soil and at the same time were destroying insects. Weather news and reports from the dry goods centers will have much to do with fluctuations this week. rr,,n Aa x-vf1f ho Hnl tAaxr = 1tSA of the anniversary of the birth of Lincoln.

ANDERSON CLAIMS
 HE IS INNOCENT
Declares Appeal From Courts
 Ruling Will Vindicate Him

NEW YORK, Feb. 1O.-A letter from William H.. Anderson protesting his innocence of the charges on which he was convicted last week and sen fenced to from one to two years in states prison, and conveying his res ignation as superintendent of the anti saloon league of New York, was made public today by the league. An an nouncement made at Gloversville, N. Y., yesterday by the leagues directors had unanimously accepted the resigna- tion, was confirmed.
 Anderson, who was found guilty of third degree forgery and falsifying the leagues books, asserted he resigned so his connection with the organization might not keep from its membership those who were unable to compre- hend' the kind of service he had rend- cred the league.
 MT. Andrson declared that an ap- peal from his conviction, which he intimated was contemplated, would be certain, to vindicate. him. ta.

ANDERSON WAS NOT
 FIRED, SAYS BOARD

NEW YORK, Feb. 10.-William H. Anderson, until Tuesday state superin- tendent of the Anti-Saloon league, was not busted from his position because of his conviction and sentence on charges of third degree forgery involving alter ation of the, leagues books, but volun- tarily resigned because he believed that such action would conserve the work of prohibition in this state and protect the marvellous results already at- tained."
 This statement from the league's board of directors Sunday night tended to clarify the announcement Saturday that Anderson had not been the leagues chief since Tuesday, and the directors went even further, saying 'the board expresses their gratitude to Mir. Anderson for his heroic leader ship, and their sincere hope in his ultimate vindication."
 AndersOnS statement. made in tend ering his resignation, was also given out.
 No moral cause vital enough to generate violent hatreds ever succeeds unless some individuals suffer for it. Anderson told the directors. II havve for 24 years given my life to destroy the liquor traffic, ready to lay it down at any time if that were necessary. I do not shrink from the greater sacri- flee even of having my good name falsely attacked as result of what have accomplished"

English Takers Get Wound Up
 And Won't Run Down

LONDON, Feb. 10.-England started something she could not stop when she began sending her lecturers to the United States.
 The lecturers are coming back home, and instead 6g turning their profits over to the. income tax authorities IS they formerly did. are looking for more.
 Three of them are to burst into song shortly-Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Sir John Foster Fraser and Rev. W. R. Inge, the gloomy dean" of St. Pauls cathedral. Each is down for series of lectures here, and they will be fol- lowed by others.
 Lectures in recent months in London have been confined to those that told a story--mainly by explorers. There have been none of5the cateh-as-catch-can va riety. ~.
 Whether the lecture habit is follow ing the course of women's fashions, which people say go from Paris to New York and from New York to London, or whether British lecturers in the States merely get wound up there and are coming back home to run down, remains to be seen.
