Rheumatism.
Those who have Rheumatism find
thfems6lves growing stead Oj worse all
the while. One reason of this is that
th remedies prescribed by the doctors
contain mercury and potash, which ul
timately intensify the disease by caus
ing the joints to swell and stiffen,
producing a severe aching of the bones.
oS. S. has been curing Rheumatism
for twenty years even the worst cases
which seemed almost incurable.
, Capt. O. B. Hughes, the popular railroad
inductor, of Columbia, S. C, had an experi
ence with Rheumatism which coffvinei him
tQat there is only one
cute for that pa Inful dis
ease. He says: "I was a
gxfeat sufferer from mus
cular Rheumatism for
two years. I could get
n4 permanent relief
from any medicine pre
scribed by my physician.
I took about a dozen bot
tles of your 8. 8. S., and
now I am as well as I
ever was lnmy life. Iam
ure that your medicine
cured me, and I wenild
recommend it to anv one
raftering from any blood disease."
Everybody knows that Rheumatisrr
is a diseased state of the blood, and
only a blood remedy is the only proper
treatment, but a remedy containing
potash and mercury only aggravates
the trouble.
For Dlniil
.TheLPlUUU
leing Purely Vegetable, goes direct to
the very cause of the disease and a per
manent cure always results. It is the
only blood remedy guaranteed to con
tain no potash, mercury or other dan
gerous minerals. .

HAND OUT YOUR MONEY.
But before you let go of it be sure
you get ite full value. There is a sat
isfaction in parting with money well
spent that 'accompanies every itransac
tian you have with the I X L Grocery
tore. You know and feel that you
could not have done Delter with it and
that is satisfaction enough No linger
ing, regretful pangs, but a keea ambi
tion to turn over the proceeds quickly
end repeat the operation over 'and over
again. It is this never-failing satisfac
tion ite patrons experiences. That has
built up this wonderful business 'to its
presemt proportions. In tea and spices,
as in everything else, which you may see
on page 8, they are talking about goods
and the goods talking about them.
A novel and effective way of leading
children ito better lines of reading is in
operation at the public library in Cleve
land, says an exchange. An intervals
paper bookmarks are issued for the use
of the children and an outline of the
various subjects to te read during the
different months is made on the
bookmarks. It -s suggested, for in-ctta.Tir'.p-
'that the child read at least one
book of history during one month, a book
of biography the next, another on sci
ence, and so on through the months. .In
this same connection a small leaflet is
given the children, and the library as
sistants keep a record 'in it of Ihe books
read during 'the year. This induces the
children to Tead a good line of books so
that the record will show up well when
they campare it with that of their
friends. The assistants' who work among
the children endeavor to cater to the
likes of their patrons, but at the same
time endeavor to break them from read
ing nothing but one line of fiction. To
this end boys' books are frequently eufe'
gested to the girls and if tney are foun--to
be interested in that line ney are en
couraged to read more. The same meth
od holds good in choosing books fo- the
boys.

The Philadelphia Recora says: The
eteamship Highfield, which recently sail
ed from this port for Havana, took out
a part of a brewing plant which is to
be erected in the Cuban capital by an
enterprising American firm. Cubans
axe said to foe very fond of beer, pre
ferring it even to champagne, whiskey
and other higher priced liquors because
of its soporific effect on them. In the
warm climate of their island a little
beer makes the drinker drowsy 'and he
drops off to sleep and forgetfulness of
the time which too often hangs heavily
on his hands. The beer now sold in Ha
vana is a German product, but Ameri
cans think that they are beitter entitled
to the trade. The foaming liquor will
fie. brewed in the same fashion as in
.,3 country, and the promoters of the
K&c&eme say they know of no reason why
sy should beeatirely successful."

New York, Feb. 17. Ae a whole the
market has been quiet during the past
week. It would seem that for thj mo
ment the stree and the public are
waiting for new developments on which
to base 'a further upward movement.
But dn spite of the irregularity in quo
tations, tnere have boen no decisions of
any consequence, except in the case of
Third avenue, which sold dowtn for reas
ons peculiar to themselves and without
reference to he tendency of tne general
market. The average value of the more
active portion of the share l'ist is ac
cordingly about the eame, as if not a
little higher, than a week ago, and there
is a great deal of latent bullish senti
ment. The street at large is certainly
impressed with a belief that the 'advances
will be resumed in due time, and while
the inactivity has led to some tentative
short selling by traders there has been
little evidence of any really effective or
ganization of the bear forces.
All the developments of the week which
relate to general business conditions or
to the earnings of railroads and indus
trial corporations continue to be of a de
cidedly favorable character. The aver
age increase in railroad gross revenues
for January ie about 20 per cent, over
the same month last year. Making al
lowance for the fact that this has been
an open winter so fiar, while January,
1899, was marked by severe weather, the
above figures point to a continuance of
heavy traffic. In fadt, while the rail
roads are undoubtedly spending a great
deal of money on improvements, the
enormous earnings would imply that
their net returns are at present sur
passing the magnificent record of a year
ago. In the same way industrial companies-,
so far as their figures have
been published, are demonstrating that
the sanguine anticipations entertained
about the new steel, iron and other com
binations when they were formed a year
ago were if anything under the mark.
The report of the operations of the Fed
eral Steel company for 1899, showing net
profits of $9,500,000 and a surplus over
dividends on the preferred and the 2 1-2
per cent which was declared on the
common last Tuesday, of more than $4,
500,000, is a case in point. In fact, there
is every assurance not only that various
industrials of the same class will verify
the claims of their supporters as :to the
remarkable character of their earnings,
but 'that with iron prices steady and the
entire producing capacity of the country
in such lines engaged for months ahead,
there is assurance thait the industrials
as a class will have the benefit of tangi
ble prosperity and unprecedented earn
ings as a support for the value of their
securities. At the same time it must
be admitted ithat the stock market,
temporarily at least, has acted as df
these favorable features in the indus
trial situation had been discounted, and
realizing sales by interests which
bought such stocks prior to 'their re
cent advance have caused a halt in their
movement, although there is a general
belief that in cases where further dem
onstrations of greait earning power are
to be expected 'there is room for many
further upward movements. The mar
ket, however, takes a conservative at
titude in this connection, and while

there ie no dissent from the propositions
that are advanced abouit stocks like
Tennessee coal (which, dt is said, will be
placed upon a dividend basis very soon
by the liquidation of the preferred stock
holders' claims), the speculation in them
fails to assume any exciting form. The
same may be said of the movements in
tobacco and other manipulated special
ties of the industrial group, but, on the
other hand, some bearish activity In
ru'bber, base'd upon the fact that the
mild winter is curtailing that organiza
tion's sales and profits, does not enlist
much sympathy outside of the ranks of
the room traders.
The most important development this
week has been the passage of the
sound money currency bill by
the senate. As we have before
stated, Wall street until now, has been
somewhat unmindful of its effects. R
is beginning now to appreciate, how
ever, that while putting the United
States in a most advantageous position
before the financial world, there are di
recit benefits 'in sight for the money
and stock markets. Besides establish
ing our credit for a generation, the bill
as adopted by the senate permits na
tional 'banks to issue circulation up to
the full amount of the bonds, which se
cure it, and beyond that in the refund
ing clause of the bill there is an oppor
tunity for the conversion of the present
price premium on existing United
States bonds into disponable' capital.
Altogether between $50,000,000 and $80,
000,000 may be added to the circulation
this wear should the bill be promptly
adopted by both houses. "We think it
requires little argument to demonstrate
that the currency bill is likely to prove
a most effective bullisn influence.
COTTON.
After the remarkable records for both
activity and prices which the specula
tive cotton market made at the begin
ning of the week, there was a natural
and healthy reaction. The market,
however, was exceedingly feverish, ana
the variations in prices either way were
of a kind of which the conservative ele
ment in the trade cannot entirely ap
prove. Toward the close of the week,
however, bullish sentiment, in spite of
the manifestly heavy liquidation of long
holdings, has again obtained'the ascend
ancy, and, although variable, the mar
ket seems to be in line for some further
rise, even if it should not be perma
nently held. The fact that New York
continues to be relatively the cheapest
cotton market does not escape attention,
and those who argue that the advance
is not running beyond intrinsic condi
tions can with justice point to the cir
cumstance that the spot markets at
southern points are on the whole devoid
of reactionary tendencies, and that in
this instance at least speculation has to
all apearances failed to over discount
the actual relations of supply to de
mand.
At the 6ame time, the market has had
ample grounds for experiencing a meas
urable reaction. Receipts have been
large, and while they do no't justify the
assumption indulged in by some inter
est that large amounts of cotton are be
ing held back at the south, the circum
stance has, of course, affected the ac
tion of foreign consumers. As we have
pointed out for weeks past, it is the alt
tirude. of the foreign spinners which is

tions for ithe present year's crop. So
far as can be. learned, there is, however,
no reason to doubt the fact thait English
and continental epdnners have overstay
ed their market, are under-supplied, and
will, therefore, have to pay the prices
for raw material tk fill their engage
ments at the figures which such a con
dition will render legitimate.
Under existing conditions there will
naturally be considerable manipulation
and a correspondingly wide range of
fluctuations. The national view of the
posit'ion, however, seems to be that pri
ces for contracts in the cotton of the
present crop year are purchases when
ever the market has any reasonably
large reaction.

also cures croup and has been used In
tens of thousands of cases without a
stogie failure so fiar as we have been able
to learn. It not only cures croup, but
when given as soon as the croupy cough
appears, will prevent the attack. In case
of whooping cough it liquifies the tough
mucus, making it easier to expectorate,
and lessons the severity and frequency
of the paroxysms of coughing, thus de
priving that disease of all dangerous
consequences. For sale at Raysor's
