-. more strength and . clear skin"
It's well TO remember that probable reason
why you do not have red lips, rosy cheeks, .
clear skin, good health, energy and cheerfulness
Is that your blood is in q rundown condition.
Lack of hemo-g -glo-bin, the red-coloring Of the
blood, may also cause weakened condition Of
the body =. loss of strength poor appetite.
Neglect of diet, worry, overwork, colds or
sickness, frequently break down and retard the
natural development of the red-blood-cellS and
their Oxygen-carrying hemo-glo-bin.
Why not set in motion the rebuilding Of these
precious blood-cells instead Of procrastinating
and sacrificing your appearance and the feeling
Of being well and hte

kind, try S.S.S. It is not just q so-called tonic
but q tonic specially designed to stimulate gas
trio secretions, and also having the mineral ele-
ments so very, very necessary in rebuilding the
Oxygen-carrying hemo-glo-bin Of the blood. Un-
less your case is exceptional you should soon
notice pickup in your appetite =. your color
and skin should improve with increased strength
and energy.
S.S.S. is truly blood and body tonic. Its
value has been proven by generations Of use, as
well Is by modern scientific appraisal

! IMPROVED

NEW YORK, June 26 fI.N.S0.
After dipping momentarily below
the previous close at the opening,
cotton futures firmed today and
managed to record small gains
on o comparatively light turn
over.
Profit-taking, attracted by yes
ferday's advance of almost 81 a
bale, brought an easier tone to
the list at the call. The situa-
ton was further aggravated by
heavy liquidation of July, today
being first notice day for this
option. Initial losses ran from
2 to 8 points in July.
Immediately afterwards, how
ever, offerings dried up as Liver
pool cables showed a firm tone,
and scattered buying came into
the ring from general sources.
Liverpool, foreign and domestic
mills and commission houses made
good purchases near the end of
the first hour. Southern selling
remained light, and offerings
from New Orleans were negligible.
Opening losses were gradually
changed to small gains.
Weather details continued gen.
orally favorable for the crop to.
day. There were slightly cooler
temperatures in Texas, but the
forecast indicated no immediate
rains for drought-stricken areas.
Texas advices coming from cen.
trail and northwestern areas in.
Dictated the increasing need of
precipitation. However. an Off.
cial Texas report stated that
warmth there was restricting the
weevil and that prospects of in.
sect losses were being reduced.
Noon prices we're up 7 to
points, with July up 8 at 1920;
october up 7 at 12.47: December
up 8 at 1888, and January up
Z at 1858.
