COTTON
NEW YORK. Dec. 10.—A disposition to
coyer short contracts in advance of the of
ficial estimate of the crop on Monday was
considered largely responsible far the im
proved toiK of the cotton market here dur
ing today’s early trading. The opening
was steady nt a decline of 2 points on
December but 9 to 25 points higher on
' later months, with January soon selling up
to 15.95 and March to 16.10, or about 20
points net higher. Liverpool trade advices
said the advance there was due to cover
ing and a better tone in Manchester. There
was some southern selling here but early
offerings were readily absorbed by the cov
ering of Wall street and local shorts and
the advance was accompanied by reiter
ated reports of a steaedier feeling in eastern
belt spot markets.
There was less demand Inter in the morn
ing, suggesting that the scattering short in
terests have been pretty- well covered on
the early advance, and prices eased off under
realizing and southern selling. By midday
January had sold down to 15.50 and
to 15.60, or about 26 to 30 points net lower.
There were rumors on the early advance
.that the question of re-establishing the war
finance corporation was to be taken up in
the senate with prospects for early action,
but the bulk of the business was supposed
to represent the closing out of old ac
counts.
The market showed no special features
during the early afternoon, but ruled a
little steadier on renewed covering, with
January selling at 15.6tc and March at
15.72 c, or about 12 to IS points net lower.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS. Dec. 10.—A higher mar
ket prevailed in the early trading in cotton
. today for which better cables than due
were responsible. In the first half hour
es business the active months gained 16 to
, 20 points, January touching 15.18 and
1 July 15.71.
Expectations of unfavorable weekly sta-
tistics and cablegrams from England stat
ing that more looms were stopping because
of the impossibility of putting through fresh
business with the Fair East, caused a re
action from the advance. In the trading
up to 11 o’clock the trading months were
eent 21 to 33 points under the close of
yesterday, with January down to 14.67 and
July down to 15.30.
Mill takings for the week of 265,000
bales against 399.000 this week last year
and 310.000 two years ago held the market
down for a while, but rumors that the
war finance corporation measure was mak
* Ing headway in congress caused a reaction
and at 1:30 o’clock prices were only’ about
TO points under yesterday’s close.

Commodity Prices
Break in November
Weakness of commodity prices both at
home and abroad, for which the month of
November was conspicuous, finds reflection
in Bradstreet’s index number of prices for
December 1, which shows the reduction in
the eleventh month to have been the heaviest
alike in amount and percentage which has
been recorded in any month since the price
turndown began last ebruary. This was
quite accurately forecast in the financial
article in the New York Times on December
7, in which, in commenting on the large de
creases in prices reported by the London
Economist—7 per cent for November and 21
per cent since April I—the writer said:
“The computations of our own (American)
at erage prices at the end of November have
not yet been published; but when that single
month was marked by such individual net
declines as 10 per cent in copper, 17 in
coffee, 1<» in iron, 22 in wheat and 25 in
otton, with the percentages of decline in
the same commodities from the year's high
est, ranging from 22 to 63 per cent, it is
e '! u .V ! .“ Il “ l * tlie average decline from the
y ear s niguest will be a formidable ligure.
i-robably it lias been greater than lias
countrv U " ia aUJ o,ller I,u l»ortant commercial
Bradstreet’s approximate index number of
. t,ri <-es as of December 1 was
which marked a decrease of 13 per
cent from the November 1 level and of 84.6
per cent from the high level reached on Feb
ruary 1, and was the lowest monthly index
number reported since November 1, 1916.
In other words, the general level of whole
sale prices is now below that ruling in the
months preceding our break with Germauv
over the submarine warfare, ami although
Jie December 1 level is still st> per cent
above the price level of August 1. 1914
more .him half (60 per cent, to be exact) of
1 lie six-year war ami post-war advance lias
been canceled. That this has been done in
ten months, and that this decline, as uo
doubt was the case with the advance, has
perhaps been rather more precipitate than
'.as been warranted by trade conditions
ceems possible from the reports received since
December 1 of rallies in some commodities,
notably wheat, the other grains, flour, raw
cotton, gray goods, lead, zinc and other
products. Wheat has risen 12 per cent, corn
10 per cent and cotton 4 per cent in a week.
As for some months pest, and indeed since
lie decline began, the weakness in prices
in November was marked in the textile
group, mostly raw materials and staple man
ufactured cotton goods. Coming next to
these in importance of decline shown was
the provision and grocery group, and at
longer distance came the hide and leather,
metal, oil. live stock, naval stores and chem
ical and drug groups. Every group declined
however, though the rally in brendstuffs re
duced the earlier November losses slightly.
In all, 70 out of 106 articles declined in No
vember, while only 8 advanced and 2.8 re
mained unchanged. Compared witli a year
ago 01 December 1, 68 products are lower
29 higher and 9 unchanged.
Raw Sugar Prices
Continue Downward
■ Y £ ltK .’ Dec ’ 10.—With a further
break to the basis of 5.01 for centrifugal
tins morning, raw sugar prices registered the
lowest level for the season, representing a
decline of nearly 20 cents from <tlie high
prices recorded last May.
The sugar selling at this basis came from
J orto Rico, the price including cost, in
e.i’rance and freight. This was a drop of %c
from yesterday s closing and was equal to 4
cents, including costs and freight, for the
Cuban product.

THREE LYNCHED
AFTER SHERIFF
MEETS DEATH
SANTA ROSA. Cal., Dec. 10.—
George Boyd, Terence Fitts and
Charles Valento,’ accused of having
killed Sheriff James A. Petray, of
Sonoma county, and Detectives Miles
Jackson and Lester M. Dorman here
Sunday afternoon, last, were taken
from the county jail here early Fri
day morning and hanged.
At 12:30 o’clock Friday morning a
mob of about 100 men, all wearfrig
black masks, entered the jail, over
powered the oLicers, took their keys
.and removed the prisoners to wait
ing automobiles.
Fifteen machines carried the
party. They moved quickly down
the street to a cemetery, three blocks
beyond the city limits. Ropes had
been prepared. The men were taken
from the machines and hanged to
an oak tree inside the cemetery.
Members of the mob were station
ed to prevent intrusion. These
guards and many of the mob were
armed.
Not more than five minutes was
required by the mob to enter the
jail, overpower the officers and re
move the prisoners.
But another crowd soon gathered
to take the places of the execution
ers. The coroner was notified and
so were city and county officials
The crowd gathered quickly as news
spread of what had been done. It
soon numbered hundreds.
The three men were ex-convicts,
Boyd having- served two years, Fitts
three and Valento one. Boyd and
Valento had been identified last
Monday by three young women as
members of the gang which attacked
them in a house on Howard street, In
one of the more densely settled sec
tions in San Francisco.
Two attempts to take the men
from jail here were made last Sun
day night, a few hours after they
had been arrested. One was broken
up by officers and the other failed
when Mrs. Petray, widow of the
slain sheriff, begged friends not to
Jountenance mob violence.
Twelve men were detailed to ap
proach the door. Six entered. Sheriff
Joj’n Boyes, apointed after the death
of j'.heriff Petray, was in his private
office at the right, with four depu
ties. Tiie si xwere armed. They
“covered” Boyes and his deputies and
made them put up their hands. The
officers then were disarmed and the
keys to the jail taken.
Boyes pleaded With them, but the
men said not a word. They made
him lean over a chair. While some
of the rnen inside the jail guarded
the officers, others went immediately
to the ceil of Boyd. Boyd, suffering
from the wound inflicted by Jackson,
had been kept in a cell because the
officers feared to send him to a hos
pital for treatment on account of
feeling against the three men.
Boyd Thursday was reported to
have developed possibly fatal com
plications from the wound.
Three steel doors had to be un
locked to take Boyd. He was on the
ground floor. Upstairs. Fitts and
Valento were in cells. The mob lieu
tenants went through two steel doors
and took them, too.
SUPREME COURT
UPHOLDS GEORGIA
TAX EQUALIZATION
JThe supreme court of Georgia on
Thursday upheld the constitutional
ity of the tax equalization law in tha
case coming up from Butts county,
where dissatisfied property owners
undertook to enjoin a general in
crease of the property values of the
country as ordered by the state tax
commissioner.
The aggregate tax values of Butts
county as returned for 1920 were un
satisfactory to the state tax commis
sioner, Henry J. Fullbright, who re
jected them and required the countj
authorities to increase them by a cer
tain percentage. The county authori
ties applied the percentage unifo -in
ly to all property on the county di
gest. The aggregate values thus in
'creased were then Accepted by the
tax commissioner.
Certain dissatisfied property own
ers applied to Judge Searcy of the
Flint judicial circuit for a writ of
injunction to prevent the collection
of taxes on the increased basis.
Judge Searcy declined to grant the
injunction.. The petitioners then ap
pealed to the supreme court.
In their petition they alleged that
every individual property owner in
the county was entitled to a hearing
before his tax assessment was in
creased. They contended that failure
or refusal to give each property own
er such a hearing was a denial of
the due process clause of the federal
constitution. They further contend
ed that the application of a general
increase to all property on the di
gest was a denial of the equal pro
tection clause of the constitution of
Georgia. They further contended
that the failure of the tax equaliza
tion law to provide for an equaliza
tion of the taxable values of rail
road and other public utility proper
ty, which is assessed by the comp
troller general of the state, was a
violation of that clause of the con
stitution of Georgia which provides
that taxation shall be uniform upon
the same class of subjects in any
taxing jurisdiction.
Eacii and all of these contentions
were overruled by the supreme court
in its decision rendered Thursday.
The decision canfe down alone and is
understood to have been expedited
by the supreme court for the guid
ance of Governor Dorsey in his con
sideration of the question whether
to call an extraordinary session of
the legislature to revise the tax
equalization law in conformity with
the decision recently rendered by the
United States supreme court.
In that decision, the U. S. su
preme court held that the arbitra
tion provisions of the law, which
are different from the provisions in
volved in the Butts county case, are
unconstitutional. The law will
have to be revised to conform to
that decision prior to the making ot
tax returns for next year, in the
opinion of Tax Commissioner Full
bright and Comptroller Wright, and
this will necessitate an extraordi
nary session, which the governor is
expected to call in the latter part of
January. . u
Had the state supreme court held
the law unconstiutional in the Butts
county case, the governor would
have included that feature of the
law in his call for an extra ses
sion. But since the state supreme
court has upheld the law, it will
only be necessary to revise it in
conformity with the U. S. supreme
court decision.

AID TO BOOTLEGGERS
LAID TO POLICEMEN
BY PROBE WITNESS
(Continued from Page 1)
which Hart told him when asking
that he prosecute the case against
Terry and Howell was exactly the
same as the story which Hart told
tiie police commission and the pres
ent committee.
The attorney further declared that
he visited the police station and
found that Terry and Howell had
turned in only two cases of the 7 1-4
cases of whisky which Hart alleged
they took from him. He said he
talked to Chief Poole about the mat
ter and that Chief Poole simply
laughed and said that Hart was
“framing up.”
“The trial by the police commis
sion,” said Mr. Goodwin, “was the
biggest farce ever pulled off. All the
members of the commission seemed
to think it their duty to defend the
officers.” . „ „ , -
Mr Goodwin said Chief Poole ad
mitted knowing that Terry was a
bootlegger at the time he was em
ployed as a detective. Hart and Dick
Messer, said the attorney, had told
the same story of the raid made by
the detectives, both to him and to
the police commission. He declared
that Dick Messer, to his (Goodwin s)
knowledge, was not a liquor peddler,
end perhaps he had just gone over to
buy a bottle of whisky.
New Angle Develops
“That is the whole trouble, re
marked Mr. Chambers. “Too many
"ood citizens are buying whisky from
these bootleggers. They make it im
possible for us to enforce the law.
Mr. Chambers questioned the v.it
ness at considerable length, asking
if it were not possible for Freeman
to have escaped with the whisky
which the officers failed to turn in.
He went into some detail as to the
location of the various automobiles
used, but was unable to make Mr
Goodwin admit that Freeman could
have escaped with the whisky.
‘ At this point in the investigation
a new angle was developed when
Chairman Hatcher stated that the po
lice commission itself was being in
vestigated. His statement to that
effect came as a result of the alle
gation by Mr. Goodwin that J. W.
Maddox, chairman of the commission,
had been convicted in a local court.
The first witness to testify Friday
morning before the committee was
a woman. Miss Clara L. Trenor, a
dressmaker. .
Trenor testified that from
February, 1914, to September. 1920,
she conducted a dressmaking estab
lishment at 83 1-2 Whitehall street;
that a Dr. Hall had a dental office
next to her; (hat gambling went on
frequently in his office at-night; that
she watched it through a peep-hole
in the wall: and that she finally de
cided to have the place raided.
She said she sought help from Dr.
John W. Ham, pastor of the Baptist
Tabernacle, but that he was too busy,
so she finally went to Mrs. Hattie
Barnett, a woman detective. She said
she and Mrs. Barnett oberved the
game several nights through the peep
hole. Miss Trenor said she did not
know what kind of a game it was,
but there was “some sort of little
apparatus stacked up in front of the
players, some high and some low.”
Arranged, for Raid
She said Mrs. Barnett telephoned
Detective Chief Lamar Poole about
the game and .bat Chief Poole told
her the police had pulled the place
until they were sick of it. Satur
day night, February 14, Miss Trenor
said she arranged with Policeman
Buck, who was on the beat, to make
the raid. The raid was made by
Buck and several other officers, and
the players taken to the police sta
tion.
When Mrs. Barnett and I went
down to the police station on the
day set for the trial, we found the
case had been settled.” said Mrs.
Trenor. “We were told by Chief
Poole that he had let them go after
.each put up $26. because Hall prom
ised not to gamble any more. We
didn’t like that, but they told us
they couldn’t convict them and
the city needed the money, anyway.
We went to Chief Beavers, but he
didn’t seem to know anything about
it. He advised us to go to the grand
jury, so we went to Mr. Boykin, and
the grand jury indicted some of
the men, and <.hey plead guilty in
Judge Calhoun’s court, and were
fined SIOO each.”
Miss Trenor admitted under ques
tions that she had not told Chief
Poole what evidence she had. She
claimed she never had a chance to
tell him. She was asked about the
conversation she overheard among
the gamblers and she told about ap
pointments they would make for
games, stating that they seemed to
make the Rex pool room a hanging
out place, where they would get men
for the games. She was asked if
she could give the names of some
of the players. “The one I remem
ber best,” she answered, “wes a
big old recruiting officer.”
Detective Whatley Testifies
After Miss Trenor had been excus
ed the committee retired for several
minutes, returning and calling De
tective Roy E. Whatley to the stand.
Detective Whatley described in de
tail the raid on Dr. Hall’s office. He
said he just happened to be passing,
and the officers called on him for as
sistance. He said he left the raid
ing party after the arrests were
made and did not accompany them to
headquarters, and had no part in
docketing the cases. He was dis
missed.
Patrolman J. B. Hightower said Miss
Trenor had called him from the street
and told him that gambling was go
ing on in Dr. Hall’s office. He de
clared that no one told him of the
peep hole in Miss Trenor’s room and
that no witnesses told him they
would agree to testify that gambling
was going on. He said that when he
entered the room nine or ten men
were sitting around the table and
that he thought they had been gamb
ling, but did not catch them in the
act.
Questioned by Chairman Hatcher
and Mr. Chambers, Patrolman High
tower explained what evidence is
necessary in order for a charge of
gambling to be made. He said that
a person must be caught in the act
of passing chips or money in order
to prove gambling. He said he didn’t
remember the pint of whisky which
Miss Trenor told about.
“If there was any liquor,” he said,
“it was a mighty little.”
Officer D. R. Sewell was the next
witness. He admitted that Mrs. Hat
tie Barnett had told him she had seen
the men gambling. Officer Sewell
said he had made the. cases, and did
not think the evidence warranted a
charge of gambling. Mr. Hatcher
said: “Why did you ignore the testi
mony of Mrs. Barnett?”
“I don’t know.” replied the of
ficer.
Mr. Hatcher then brought out that
it was customary for officers to ac
cept the testimony of a reputable
witness without personally seeing a
crime committed.
“Isn’t it true that you knew Mrs.
Barnett and did not want to go into
Chief Beavers asked Mr. Goodwin
if he would believe Hart on oath in
view of his criminal record.
“Certainly, I believe him,” replied
Mr .Goodwin. “Many men whose
word can be depended on have been
convicted. Mr. Maddox, the chair
man of the commission, has been
convicted in a local court.”
Chambers Takes Issue
Mr. Chambers took issue with Mr.
Goodwin, saying that the judgment
against Mr. Maddox had been set
aside by the supreme court.
“The fact remains that he was
convicted,” said Mr. Goodwin.
Councilman Murphy, a member of
the investigating committee. re
marked that, these statements were
not germain, since the police board
was not under investigation.
“Oh, yes,” said Chairman Hatcher,
“we are investigating the entire de
partment, including the commission.”
Mr. Chambers then asked the wit
ness if it w’ere not possible for the
bootleggers to be framing up on the
police force, particularly “their bld
pal, Terry.” The witness declared
that he had no reason to believe such
a plan existed.
Other witnesses at the morning
session were H. A. Reeves, who ad
mitted he was a whisky “runner” and
and who declared, in answer to At
torney Chambers’ question, that he
had never been “protected” by the
police or had ever heard of any “pro
tection” being given bootleggers; and
Attorney James O. Ewing, who testi
fied that It was the custom, in try
ing ganring cases, to make them city

offenses unless the officers could
swear they saw money exchange
hands and gambling going on.
court with her as your star wit
ness?” asked Mr. Chambers.
"That’s right,” replied the officer.
He said that Mrs. Barnett had ap
peared in court the next day appar
ently willing to testify against Dr.
Hall and the men arrested in his of
fice. He said that Dr. Hall and the
others had already forfeited their
bonds and the cases were never tried
in the recorder’s court.
Difficult to Convict
Officers C. E. Ford, W. A. Mc-
Kinney and W. A. Buck all testified
concerning various gambling raids
they had made, stating that it was
very hard to convict men of gam
bling, when the officers did not see
them at it, and that it was often
customary to have collaterals of $26
assessed, when it was felt convic
tions could not be obtained.
Among the witnesses who repudi
ated testimony given by E. H.
Mills Thursday morning was Gor
don Noel Hurtel. clerk of the re
corder’s court. Mills had testified
that Mr. Hurtel had remarked to him
after he had been tried that he had
been tried before his case was called.
Mr. Hurtel declared that this state
ment was absolutely false.
The witnesses at the afternoon
session Thursday were John J. Trom
betta, proprietor of a fruit house on
Produce Row and Mills' employer;
Detective M. A. Hornsby, Detective
O. L. Howell and Detective W. L.
Payne.
Trombetta was called because of
the statement of Mills at the morn
ing session that Trombetta discharg
ed him recently with the statement
that rive men had threatened to boy
cott his place if he did not get rid
of Mills.
Mills, a young man with an admit
ted police record, had declared that
Trombetta told him the men were
“sore” at Mills for telling Solicitor
Boykin things about a gambling
home at 49 1-2 Central avenue. Trom
betta told him, said Mills, that one
of the men was a “big politician.”
“The reason I discharged Mills
was because I had no more use for
him after being in jail,” said Trom
betta. “I went around to see differ
ent men in the trade to ask about
Mills. They didn’t say anything one
way or the other, and all I told
Mills was that if the trade should
boycott me it would hurt my busi
ness.”
Mills was present and began to
question Trombetta, the latter admit
ting that he had told Mills that the
trade “was sore,” and that Mills had
told him he would get a letter from
Solicitor Boykin to the effect that
Mills had not told anything about the
gambling house. Trombetta also ad
mitted that Mills had come to him
highly recommended and that he al
ways had been a good workman while
in his employ.
Before Trombetta’s explanation
somewhat weakened Mills’ state
ments, the latter’s testimony had
been the sensation of the Thursday
morning session, involving as it did
charges against the city police and
detective departments.
Detective Denies Charge
Detective M. A. Hornsby, who has
been on the force eight years, told
the committee that he had heard the
testimony of Mills, and that the
events which Mills declared had
happened on the night of Saturday,
October 16, did not happen while he
(Hornsby) was in the company of
Detective Terry. He said that he re
called very distinctly having met
Detective Terry at 2 p’clock Satur
day afternoon. He said he was with
Terry continuously until 2 o’clock
Sunday morning, and that he did not
see Mills during that time.
Baiff Described
“Wasn’t Detective Terry found
guilty, before he came on the force,
on a liquor charge?” asked a member
of the committee.
“Yes,” replied Hornsby. “I was
the man who caught him.”
Hornsby said that Terry, a year
before he was employed by the city,
was in the taxicab business, was
caught with whisky and pleaded
guilty. When he was elected to the
force, said Hornsby, he became a
supernumerary in the detective de
partment. In answer to questions. De
tective Hornsby said he supposed
the police commission knew of the
liquor case.
"It was on his application, .Mr.
Chairman,” said Aldine Chambers. “I
know because I looked it up the
other day.”
Rayne Denies Charge
Detective W. L. Payne took the
stand and denied, in answer to ques
tions by the chairman, that he ever
saw Mills at the courthouse during
the grand jury sessions, or spoke to
him about what he would testify.
“Would you believe Mills on oath?”
he was asked.
“I wouldn’t believe any man on
oath who would tell that lie on me.”
said Detective Payne. “He falsified,
and I’ll tell him so any time, any
where,” he concluded, looking at
Mills, who sat across the room from
him.
GREAT EXPORT BANK

section of a temporary organization
to project and promote an interna
tional bank. Robert F. Maddox, of
Atlanta, was made chairman of the
campaign CAaimittee for Georgia, and
John K. Ottley was designated as a
member of the permanent organiza
tion committee.
It was determined at New Orleans
that the projected International bank
should be abandoned unless $6,000,-
000 in stock subscriptions had actu
ally been received on or before De
cember 10. In the event of the sub
scription of the minimum amount,
the organizers determined that the
management of the bank should be
placed in the hands of a board of
directors of not less than nine mem
bers, nor more than twenty-five mem
bers. The membership of the board
for the first year of the bank’s op
eration was fixed at twenty.
Mills B. Lane, president of the
Citizens’ and Southern bank, of At
lanta and Savannah, and Robert F.
Maddox, president of the Atlanta Na
tional bank, were suggested as Geor
gia's representatives on the bank’s
directorate.
Headquarters In New Orleans
It was determined, also, that the
chief offices of the International
hank should be located at New Or
leans, but that the facilities of the
institution for extending credits and
expediting exports of cotton and oth
er southern products shall be equita
bly distributed to all communities,
persons and institutions interested in
the company. In a word. New Or
leans was selected as headquarters
because of its port facilities and
geographical location, but it was
specifically provided that every sec
tion of the south should benefit
equally from the operation of the
International bank.
The Federal International Banking
company, when organized, will not
engage directly in the sale of cotton
or other commodities, but with its
capital and facilities, including
branch banks in foreign countries, it
will help to provide a market for
cotton and other southern products
by arranging and extending credits.
Under the law, the bank may issue
debentures or sell acceptances to ten
times the amount of its capital,
which means that the institution,
with a minimum capital of $6,066,-
000, may, and no doubt will, be able
to finance $60,000,000 in foreign ex
ports.

Story of Victim
Mr. Tutton says he was fleeced
on two visits to Atlanta last De
cember. He said he came to Atlanta
on business and while at the Ter
minal station he was approached by
a man who gave his name as Mason.
A friendly conversation ensued which
resulted in both going to the same
hotel. Mason became chummy in
his conversation, Mr. Tutton says,
and told how his son had won a
large sum of money in a place which
he called an “exchange.”
Later in the day, Mr. Tutton says,
Mason met another man at the hotel
and they induced Tutton to go to
the exchange. On arrival there, he
gays, there were large sums of
money displayed and considerable
business activity was shown. Mr.
Tutton says he purchased some stock
which netted him a profit of $15,000.
This encouraged him and he bought
more and more until he lost the $15,-
000 and $3,000 of his own money.
The following April, Mr. Tutton
says, he came back to Atlanta and
was directed to a cotton exchange
where he said he lost S6OO, after
which he decided to give the city a
wide berth. As a result of his op
erations the speaker said he was
forced to go into bankruptcy. He
said he borrowed money from a
Georgia bank and in statements to
the bankers at the time he became
bankrupt he says he told how he
had lost his money.
Both Tutton and the other man
say they can identify the men who
fleeced them. They will be called
before the grand jury Friday to tell
their experiences and to give what
ever information they have to assist
in the probe.
Paris Divorce Ruling
PARIS, Dec. 9. —Americans may be
divorced in French courts, according
to a decision of the Cour de Cassa
tion, confirming the decree awarded
Frank Jay Gould. The court over
ruled Mrs. Gould’s claim of no juris
diction on the grounds that she had
elected to plead here.
APPENDICITIS
Appendicitis attacks at any moment,
even persons seemingly in good health.
Usually, however, it is preceded by stom
ach trouble or constipation. Many people
have a bowel movement every day, but
it is not a COMPLETE movement and
much old, stale matter stays In the sys
tem to ferment and cause trouble. Often
there is only a small passage in the cen
ter of the bowels while the sides are cov
ered with old, hard matter which sticks
to the bowels and often poisons the sys
tem for months, making you feel tired all
the time and “half-sick.” Even if your
bowels move slightly each day, that is
tot enough. There must be an occasional
THOROUGH, complete cleansing to bring
out all the accumulated, poisonous waste
matter.
Appendicitis is an Intestinal Infection
spreading to the appendix, and it can be
guarded against in the same manner in
which you guard against the spread of
throat infection (sore throat). When you
have sore throat, you can often prevent
further trouble by using an antiseptic
wash or gargle to destroy tiie germs, and
a laxative to carry off the poisons from
the body. Very similar treatment is neces
sary to guard against appendicitis. But in
stead of an antiseptic wash for the throat,
an INTESTINAL antiseptic is necessary
nnd a COMPLETE drainage of the bowel
system.
INTESTINAL ANTISEPTIC
There is now offered to the public a
preparation having the DOUBLE action Os
un intestinal antiseptic and a COMPLETE
system cleaner. This preparation, known
as ADLER-I-KA, acts as follows:
It tends to destroy or remove harmful
germs and colon bacill in the Intestinal
canal, thus guarding against appendicitis
and other diseases having their start here.
It is the most COMPLETE system
cleaner ever offered to the public, acting
