(Spoils 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.

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.

Bache & Co.: “We believe pur chases made on set-backS will prove to be the best policy.” THE ATLANTA TRI-WEEKLY JOURNAL. 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. ,K ORK SUGAR MARKET NEM YORK, Dec. 10.—Raw sugar weak; refined unehanged at 8.75(1(9.00 for fine granulated.

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.

Dec. 10.—Five convicted murderers, the youngest a boy of twenty years and the father of'three children, were put to death in the electric chair In Sing Sing prison here last night, after an elev enth hour attempt to obtain a re prieve from the governor, or a stay of execution from the courts had failed. Four of the men—James P. (Bill) Cassidy, Joseph Milano, Charles Mc- Laughlin and Joseph Usefof—were convicted of slaying Otto Flala, an elderly Bronx subway ticket ageni two years ago. The fifth. Howard Baker, paid the penaltv for the mur der of William Dagreff. near Roch ester, N. Y., in September, 1919. 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 SATURDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1920. 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 IS NOW CERTAINTY; STOCK ISSUE SOLD (Continued from Page 1) 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. TENNESSEE EXCEEDS HER SUBSCRIPTION QUOTA CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., Dee. 10.— Tennessee banks subscribing SBOO,- 000 to the capital stock of the Fed eral International Banking Corpora tion of New Orleans have surpassed their quota by 60 per cent, it was announced here today by T. R. Pres ton, of Chattanooga, who was chair man of the organizing committee in this state. The quota for Tennessee was set at $500,000.

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.
