Ovaltine is delicious pure food concentrate
first created in Switzerland-( (,ow made in the
U. S. A.)-and is particularly noted for the
remarkable increases in appetite, weight and
nerve poise, which so frequently occur when it
is added to the daily diet . Ovaltine is also
highly recommended as strengthening food
for nursing mothers, convalescents, and the
aged-and for sleeplessness when taken as
hot drink at bedtime
For the sake of your child, try Ovaltine. You
simply give it mixed with milk-either hot or
cold-and children love its delicious taste.

YULE CLUB GAIN
SEEN LARGE

While final figures are not avail
able, it is understood that Christ
mas Savings Clubs maintained
by local banks will show a gain
Of approximately 20 per cent when
final 1885 figures are shortly re-
leased. This gain will apply to
both the number of depositorS and
the amount Of deposits and is the
first gain registered since 1882.
Washington has evidently made
a good record with Christmas
Savings Clubs, as Christmas Say
ings Club headquarters in New
York has just reported that many
cities are showing the first major
gain in four years.
For 1884, the approximately
$500 banking institutions and
other organizations participating
in Christmas Club activities, ac-
cording to the report from New
York headquarters, distributed
approximately $370,000.000 to
about 100000 members, an in
crease of about $20,000,000.

The cotton market was a stag

cipal reason for restricted dealings
in the ring. Contracts were offer.

New Orleans bought Sparingly.
With the Senate agricultural
committee conference on the cot
ton export situation we'll under
way, traders were discussing the
results of the first session yester.
day. of the three proposals ad'
vancd by Secretary Wallace for
the cotton program of the future,
the trade generally was OF the
opinion that the most practical
was the proposal for a domestic
allotment program with no con-
troll of production. but with bene'
fit payments on the domestically
consumed portion of the crop. and
processing tax sufficient to bring
the price on domestically con.
sumed to a parity level. The idea
Of increasing the processing tax
was frowned upon, however.
The market at noon today was
unchanged to l point lower. May
