I I SUMMEH FOODS OFTEN • | CAUSE DYSPEPSIA • ® « c Their Effect on the Digestive Or- c o gans Responsible for Many • • of the Season's Ills. ® i; : Summer should be the period of per fect health, but impure water and milk, unripe fruit, and the tendency to in dulge in acid foods and iced drinks, produces a contrary condition in many people. The effect of the average summer diet is to constipate even normally regular bowels, and this results in disarranging the entire digestive system. When the bowels are choked with the stomach’s refuse, indigestion is almost sure to follow, and the waste matter that should pass out through the bowels, not finding passage, ferments in the stomach and the poisons are forced into the blood, causing much distress and often serious illness. To keep the bowels free, there is no more effective remedy than Dr. Cald well's Syrup Pepsin. This is a pleas ant-tasting bowel stimulant and laxa tive tonic that is very gentle in its action, bringing relief in an easy, nat ural manner, and without discomfort. A spoonful of Syrup Pepsin will quickly check summer diarrhoea by cleansing the bowels and removing the foreign matter that irritates and inflames the tissue.. It is sold in drug stores for fifty cents a bottle; a large family size, considerably more than twice the quantity, costs a dollar. If you have never used Syrup Pepsin anil would like a free trial bottle, pbstpaid, write to Dr. W. B. Caldwell, 406 Washington St., Monticello, Illinois.

HAYWARD & CLARK'S DAILY COTTON LETTER; NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 14.—The English i market fully met the recovery on our side and. according io the above cable, ap- ■ pears ready fui further recover.-, in easel crop news should become unfavorable. V> eatber develo).merits over night were. ; however, distinctly favorable. Tempera- | lures are normal throughout the belt.: ami the map shows some precipitation in* extreme west Texas and .56 at. Galveston, I also some precipitation in North Carolina where moisture is needed. Indigatiuj,is are. I for unsettled, rainy weather coming in | 'Texas and Oklahoma, partly cloudy: pos- i sibly some isolated showers elsewhere, followed by generally unsettled, showery by Friday night. In regard to the market the first effect ! of rains in west and south Texas would probabl.v bo sentimentally bearish, as it I would relieve the.lotig . x-pectation of rain there, but the second effect would be bulk isb. as rains would interfere with picking) and the movement and tbe trade depends on south Texas for its August cotton. I Furthermore, a wet spell in the central; and eastern states would not be welcomed outside of North Carolina and might lead to insect c.omplaints or damage and might give rise to tbe idea of delav in crop movement. The market has, therefore, much to consider in regard to weather. The market op< tm,l w ill unchanged fig ures dropped about 12 points on the gov ernment forecast of showery weather in west Texas, but soon recovered. There was a better feeling and good buying on dips probably coming from trade sources. | RANGE IN NEW ORLEANS FUTURES. ££? • I i z; c . .«« ; r, > u- | | | _ r _,’ Aug.

' NEWS AND GOSSIP, Os the Fleecy Staple | NEW YORK, Aug. 14.—Carpenter, Bag g'R & Co.: Our opinion is unchanged, i . This decline has been due largely to ■ manipulation, assisted by some recent I hedge s-elling, this market against long i contracts in Liverpool. The decline has I been exaggerated. Ninety per cent of ' j the crop news Is very bullish. Think large I crop impossible. While prices may be temporarily further depressed, strongly favor buying on every decline. Believe in ultimately much higher prices. The .Journal of Commerce says that the sharp drop in cotton has caused a natu ral hesitation among goods buyers, but that a good steady Business is reported by jobbers. The export markets for cot ton goods are not active Shipments on old orders constitute the chief feature, and there are still many goods due. Guild, Hubbard, Wenman bought Jan uary. Schill. Hentz. Schiffer sold. Free man. Lee, Johnson. Schill, Riordan bought December. Rothschild. Cone, Hicks sold. Lee bought October. McElroy, Riordan, Rothschild sold. Dalias wires: "Texas—Scattered clouds south and southwest; balance clear and warm. Oklahoma —Cloudy; light rain at Newkirk; balance partly cloudy to clear and cooler." i The bear Just could not resist the temp tation today.‘and lie put in an appear ance. The result is easily guessed. j The next bureau report will be issued Tuesday, September 3. and anticipations arc that it will he of a bullish character. Hubbard. Craig. Hentz were best buy ers today on the advance. Some mills were reported to be good bu> ers. Hutton places the condition at 77.7, against 78.5 last month. Hutton, by states; North Carolina, 81; South Carolina. 75; Georgia, 77; Alabama. 73; Mississippi, 75; Louisiana, 80; Texas, 83; Arkansas, 76; Tennessee, 71; Okla homa, 82. Following are 11 a m. bids: October 11.24, December 11.32. January 11.23, March 11.38. NEW ORLEANS. Aug 14. Hayward & Clark; The weather map shows partly cloudy to fair, with some isolated show ers; .56 at Galveston. Some light show ers in North Carolina, where rains are needed. Temperatures are normal. In dications are for partly cloudy in west Texas. Oklahoma, with possibly scattered showers. Few scatered clouds in smith and south west Texas, balance . clear and warm. Oklahoma, cloudy, threatening at Ponca City and light rain at Newkirk; balance partly cloudy to clear. The New Orleans Times-Democrat’s summary says: Again cotton values dipped. This time October in New Or leans dropped to 11.15. At that price support developed and October climbed to 11.55. Tlie reaction came so suddenly and was so sharp that even conservatives, , who had been expecting some check to the decline, were amazed. Southern mills bought contracts freely. Some shorts took profits. Some constitutional bulls got in again at what seemed to be the bottom. Scalpers were in their element When the smoke had cleared away, the contract market stood very close to the previous day’s close, while spots at New Orleans rested l-16c below* the 12c mark. One year ago the local August contract closed at 11.99, as against 11.63 yesterday. Oc tober was at 11.08, against 11.4 G yester day, and New Orleans middling spots at 12e against 11 15-16 c yesterday. Whether these price comparisons signify anything or not. the trade must judge. The bear says the situation in the long run is as bearish now as it w*as this time last because, whereas an enormous requirement in 1911-1912 will ultimately effect an enormous yield, this year the fact that the mills are not bare of sup plies offsets any deficit in the yield of 1912 under that of 1911.
