Age and richness go hand in hand,
so the surest way to obtain the effect

old furniture and beautiful old things

You'll be glad you tried it

Women who once use Rinse know the
difference. Such thick, creamy, cleans
ing suds, in any water - soft or hard.
Sterilizing suds that make even boiling
unnecessary.
In these quick-working Rinse suds, dirt
soaks out without scrubbing. All ordinary
spots and stains float off by themselves.
Even the grimiest cuffs and edges become
snowy with little or no rubbing!
Without wear and tear on the clothes
or on your hands, Rinse suds get the wash
the whitest white you ever saw!

Safe-and so economical!
Rinse is absolutely safe for your finest
linens and cottons; and it removes dirt
without harm to fast colors. Indeed, women
say Rinse brightens colored clothes.
Economical, too; Rinse is all you need
on washday-no other soap, no softener.
Be sure to get Rinse in time for your
next weeks wash. For economy and best
results, follow the easy directions on the
package.
Marvellous in washing machines
If you have washer, just try Rinse! You
never saw such results with other soaps. No

CHICAGO, July 2s.-With cooler

anxiety about black rust, wheat
prices averaged lower early today. 1t
was admitted, nevertheless. that

within a day or two might bring

vices at hand indicated that earliest
fields around Crookston, Mimi, would
be harvested next week, and that
despite black rust infection on head
stems the crop there seemed to be
too near maturity to be badly
damaged.
On the other hand, samples of
wheat in Chicago today from Clare

completely developed on head stems
and the postules ruptured. Accord

u. S. INDUSTRIAL OUTPUT
FOR JUNE DECLINES
Increase In Building Contracts Laid

ties Expansion.

Industrial production declined con-
siderably in June and early July Of
this year, rejecting reduced activity
IN mines and factories, the Federal
Reserve Board says in a report which
adds that the value of building. con-
tracts awarded in June was the
largest for any month on record.
Consumption of raw cotton reached
a new level for June, the report said,
with cotton and woOIen mills con-
tinuing unusually active for the sea
son, but a decrease in silk deliveries
was noted with a decline in the pro-
duction OF sugar refineries and In
lumber. copper and anthracite coal.
A decline in production Of iron,
steel and automobiles also was OBJ
served for June, curtailment in these
industries continuing into July.
The Increase in building contracts
was attributed to a steady growth in
the construction of public works and
public utilities, which. the report said,
had been in progress for several
months. Building volume. however.
was said to have dropped off early
in July approximately to the level of
last year.

Special DlSpatch TO Inc star.
NEW YORK, July 2S.-Operations
for the rise on the Curb Exchange
made further progress today. Not
only was this true of Industrial
shares selected for leadership, but
many of the more speculative bonds
came In for considerable attention at
rising prices. One of the oHtstand-
ing incidents was the persistent de-
mand at new high prices for New
mont Mines. Because of its huge
holdings of Kennecott Copper. it
was thought Newmont was entitled
to sell at high prices on its asset
value alone.
Interests in close touch with the
market for. Celluloid Company issues
were at loss to explain the recent
sharp upturns in the preferred and
common. The former, above rs,
was selling at its highest. Accumu-
lation on the per cent preferred
to February Is last amounted to
10 per cent. 1t might have been that
plans are under ConSidera ton for the
clearing up of these back dividends.
However, if this was the basis for
the movement, earnings during the
current year would have to show Il
decided improvement. inasmuch as
the preferred stock had deficit in
1926 equal to $27.78 share.
Bohn Aluminium and Brass was
prominent among the lower priced
specialties, selling into new high
ground for the year. 1t was report
ed that profits during the first half
year showed a substantial increase.

Of $1.50.
The action Of Goodyear Tire common
gave rise to belief that badly trapped
short interest existed in the stock.
Above 56 the price compared with the
previous final of 5234 and the demand
was particularly urgent on the way
up. Heavy profit taking made itself
felt in Vacuum Oil, carrying it on
points before support was encoun-
tered. Others of the oils, however,
were neglected.
The rise in Warner Brothers 612 per
cent bonds was coincident with an.
other goed-sized upturn in the COM
